Rob and his wife Claudia are successful entrepreneurs who live here in San Diego, and own and operate Claudia Buys Houses, a house flipping business here in San Diego County. They are also highly successful multi-family investors, with holdings all across the United States.

Rob will be teaching:

  • - How to take your real estate investing to the next level, regardless of what level you’re at currently.
  • - If now is a good time to be wholesaling, flipping, holding, or 1031ing.
  • - How anybody can become wealthy using Real Estate, regardless of where you are starting from.
  • - That your most important investment will be in YOU!
  • - That success in Real Estate starts in the classroom.
  • - That you have got to be done with settling for “Good Enough”
  • - That you must get uncomfortable and Take Action.

AND much more…

Rob Rowsell has a truly incredible story. In 1999, he was living on the streets, homeless and unemployable. Addicted to crystal meth and crack cocaine, Rob was living the criminal lifestyle, shoplifting, and stealing to provide for his drug habit. At the direction of one of his probation officers, Rob admitted himself into a thirty-day drug rehab. By the grace of God, he has been sober since that day. Upon graduation from drug rehab, Rob had no job, no driver’s license, no car, no place to call home, no credit and two probation officers to contend with on unrelated matters. From homeless to homeowner to multiple business owner to RE investor, and beyond, Rob will share some insights that will remind you that ANYTHING is possible, and that if he can do it, ANYBODY can!

Post: The Perfect Storm, Where are San Diego Housing Prices Going?

Robert Campbell’s key market timing indicators signaled the exact peak of the San Diego housing market in May 2005 – and will likely signal the next market peak as well.

Using key data to analyze the current state of the California housing market, Robert promises you will be well ahead of the crowd in knowing (1) what the current trends are saying and (2) what that means for San Diego housing prices during the next six years.

Here is small sampling of what you will learn:

  • - After Coronavirus Pandemic: How will San Diego real estate perform?
  • - Housing market cycles – and why you should watch them
  • - Paul Getty’s billion dollar secret. How to get rich – and stay rich – in real estate!
  • - What key market timing indicators you should be watching to spot a housing market top.
  • - How to avoid the single biggest mistake in real estate. Learn how to protect yourself.
  • - When the next bear market in housing is likely to start – and how far prices could fall.
  • - How to tell the difference between “luck” and “skill” in investing – and what to do about it.
  • - Why it pays to be paranoid – and why you should avoid myths promoted by the real estate industry.
  • - Where will SoCal housing prices be 5-10 years from now?

Robert Campbell is a real estate economist (UCLA), author, investor, and publisher of The Campbell Real Estate Timing Letter, a market-timing advisory for investors that’s available from no other source.

His book Timing the Real Estate Market presents what Robert calls “The Campbell Method,” where he shows readers how to predict the coming peaks and valleys of real estate cycles by watching five key indicators.

Based on the historically reliable timing indicators that are identified in his book, Robert’s real estate timing model has accurately predicted the rise and fall of Southern California real estate prices with a success rate of 85-90% over the course of the last 38 years.

Is today still a good time to buy, or should you sell?

Becoming a successful real estate investor is simple…but it’s not easy!

Remember: Our job as real estate investors is not to buy, sell or rent houses. Our job is to help people solve their real estate problems. If you want to be a successful real estate investor then don’t go out looking for deals. Instead, find people to help and problems to solve!

Here are five topics Bill will cover during the meeting:

  • - You’ll see how Bill and Kim sold a $500,000 property for $300,000 and still made $500,000! Wonder what deal structuring tools are required to make a deal like this happen?
  • - Do you ever flip? You’ll see a one-of-a-kind structuring technique that will allow you to sell your flip fast, not pay realtor commission, not rehab the property, not pay closing cost, and still a make maximum profit. How? Have you ever foreclosed on yourself?
  • - You’ll see a straight option at work. Options are the least understood tool in a deal structuring toolbox. It’s a good bet that none of your competitors know how to structure a straight option
  • - You’ll see why sellers agree to Subject-to Deals. Bill will show you a Subject-to Deal from the SELLER’S point of view!
  • - As we look at the deals above, you’ll learn how each was found, structured, funded, and once bought, what was done to turn it into a mailbox money machine.

Finally, here are a number of questions Bill promises to answer during the meeting:

  • - Why is getting face-to-face with sellers so important to success?
  • - When meeting with sellers, why should it be about them and not you?
  • - What’s the most important question to ask a seller?
  • - Why are T-bar and Teeter-totter Offers so much more effective than Purchase and Sale Contracts?
  • - What’s the best way to learn how to creatively construct and fund deals?
  • - What are Starters, Estate Builders and Enders, and why should they work together to get deals done?
  • - When a seller calls, what two questions should you ask?
  • - What’s the best website to go to to determine a property’s value?
  • - What’s the most you should pay for a property and still make the deal work? (The answer to this question is guaranteed to rock your world!!!)
  • - When an investor is failing, what two questions does Bill ask to determine the root of their problem?

Where’s the Beef (Deals)? Ways to Find Deals in Today’s Market!

What’s the number one question at real estate club meetings? “Where can I find deals to buy?”

Come hear and experience Bill Tan, past president of SDCIA and the owner of LAREIA. Bill’s going to moderate an open forum discussion with the audience on how local real estate investors are currently finding deals and also provide ideas of his own on how to find deals.

What’s the best way? The one that works for you! And it’s either working with someone who’s good at finding deals (RE agent or wholesaler) or pursuing a niche.

If you don’t have the time or marketing knowledge; you’ll have to pay someone to find the deals for you (RE agent or wholesaler). And there’s nothing wrong with that. Do what you do best & pay them to do what they do best.

If You Are Serious About Finding Properties, You Can't Miss This Meeting!
Bill’s going to combine everyone’s input to come up with a list of ways of finding deals that anyone can do. He will then make them available, as well as his now famous, "100+ Ways to Find Deals" to everyone that attends the meeting!
