At this in-person meeting, we’re tackling one of the most important (and misunderstood) parts of your real estate investing career: getting the money to do deals.

7:00 p.m.–8:30 p.m. – Main Meeting
How to Borrow All the Money You Want from Banks (and Have Them Begging You to Take More) with Robert MohonIf you're serious about building wealth in real estate, here’s a truth you need to embrace:
Banks are still the best source of long-term, low-interest, fixed-rate money.
The trick is... you have to know how to make them say yes.
That’s why we’ve recruited long-time landlord and “Professional Bank Customer” Robert Mohon to teach you how to make banks not just say yes—but fight to lend to you.
Robert built his entire portfolio using only traditional bank loans. No partners. No private money. No creative financing. Just smart strategies and a deep understanding of how banks work.
Robert will share all this:
- The five traits of borrowers that make lenders say yes
- How to get lines of credit—and why they’re the most powerful financing tool you’re probably not using
- The “other” credit score banks use (and how to boost it fast)
- What a “trash account” is, and why every serious borrower needs one
- What bankers won’t tell you about protecting yourself in loan deals
- The posture, language, and mindset that make banks trust—and fund—you
- How the inner workings of banks give you unexpected leverage
This isn’t theory—it’s real, step-by-step insight from someone who did it, and wants to help you do it too.
Whether you're brand-new or already own 20 doors, if you’re not using banks to their fullest—this is your wake-up call.
