April: Our Next Monthly Meeting

Pete Fortunato says, "In chaos there is opportunity" . Will you be ready? Being prepared is the key.

Three local experienced UCREIA investors will join Vena Jones-Cox to talk about the challenges and opportunities of the coming market. Vena, from Cincinnati, OH, is the nationally renown, highly successful wholesaler/marketing guru, teacher, coach and one with her finger on the pulse of investing. Vena is one of our favorite and most respected speakers, who has been here numerous times to share her knowledge. We are thrilled to welcome her back.

Our local panelists are honored to be on stage with Vena. They include Chad Carson, Joe Gibson, Robert Dayton, and Gregg Branham. They bring combined experience in landlording, wholesaling, getting seller financing, rehabbing, retail flips, lease/options, negotiating, property management, and private lending. This features the no-holds-barred, no-b.s. advice of a handful of guys who’ve been to this rodeo before and survived to tell the tales. If you heard Vena and the Cincinnati investors' webinar, just wait for our Local investors to share their experiences and plans to be prepared for upcoming markets.

"Fortunes are made in chaos"—and we're here to help you figure out what to do when you can't collect rents, and when your rehab won't sell, and, importantly, how to get ready for what's likely to be an amazing market with record low interest rates and a serious easing of inventory, less competition . Everyone--members and guests, new and experienced investors--is welcome to our first ever online main meeting;
