30 Days to $10K: How Wholesaling Really Works in 2016 with Vena Jones-Cox

Everyone knows that wholesaling is the quickest and easiest way to put cash in your pocket in the real estate business. The problem is, most people don’t actually understand how wholesale deals are supposed to work, why buyers are willing to pay you $5,000, $10,000, or even more to take over your contract, or how to find deals that work in today’s seller’s market.

Vena Jones-Cox does, because she wholesales a property about every 9 days, and she’s been doing it for nearly 2 decades. She’ll share her in-the-trenches experience with us at our January 21st meeting, attend, and you’ll discover:

• How wholesaling works today—it’s a very different business than it was even 2 years ago—and what you need to do to get started right now
• Which properties in which areas make for the most profitable, easiest-to-sell wholesale deals, and which you should avoid because they’re huge time-wasters
• How to make the right offer—the one that will make you $5,000, $10,000, or more in cash in just a few weeks—every time
• How to put a property “under contract” in a no-risk way that allows you to get out if you can’t sell the deal, and never put any money or work into that property
• How to get your cash up front, before the closing, and never have to buy a wholesale deal before you sell it!

  Vena is famous for her no-B.S. teaching and her ability to simplify tough concepts so that even a brand-new investor can easily grasp them. Whether you’re a brand new wholesaler or struggling to make more and better deals, you’ll learn something that will add to your bottom line. So bring a notepad, bring a friend, and get to this meeting—it will change your financial life forever!

  January 21st is guest night—all guests attend free. The first 50 who Pre-register (and attend) get Vena’s CD (a value of $19.95), 7 Best Ways to Find Wholesale Deals, FREE.

Advanced Wholesaling & Marketing Concepts to Make You More Money

MORNING SESSION ---- Advanced Wholesaling:

How to Sell a Deal a Week and Build a Passive Wholesale Income

To truly get out of the “rat race”, you need a plan that goes beyond learning the strategies, and takes you to the point where your real estate business more or less runs without you.

For wholesalers, this means two things: using advanced strategies to do more deals and create passive income, and systemizing your business so that others can easily do deals FOR you.

• In this morning workshop, you’ll discover:
• How to wholesale all those “non-assignable” bank-owned properties on the market today, WITHOUT coming up with the cash to close, and double the number of deals you do
• How to use creative finance concepts to wholesale properties & add passive income to your business
• How to systemize everything your wholesaling business does, & easily delegate it
• How to hire help when you can’t afford help

AFTERNOON SESSION - Advanced Marketing:

How to Find More Motivated Sellers, Buyers, Renters, and Lender

Once you learn the basics of any real estate strategy, every problem you have is a marketing problem. Not enough deals?

That’s because not enough motivated sellers know that you buy properties. Properties staying vacant too long? That’s because not enough qualified renters or buyers know about your great deal.

Great marketing give you incredible leverage, making your phone ring off the hook with customers who want to give you money or give you properties. But do you REALLY know how to make your marketing as effective as possible for as little money as possible?

In this afternoon workshop, you’ll find out:

• How to create messages that your prospects can’t resist, and get 5-20% response rates to your very first mailing, and make lots of money without spending lots of money
• How to get lists of motivated sellers, buyers, lenders, and more
• How to make absolutely sure your mail gets opened and read
• How to develop a marketing plan that will get you the sellers, buyers, renters, lenders—whoever you need!
