What we’re about
April 6th miniseries: Cash flow is king!
We were able to secure some of the best in the multi-family space for our next event. Our guest host will be Investor Source CLE's own Erin Thomas. She will discuss how she builds up the commercial arm of KW's EZ Sales, what is different between a traditional realtor and what she offers, how to assess deals, and all things multi-family.
Thank you for our hosts: Icon Co-Work, Walk your plans

ABOUT INVESTOR SOURCE: In our group: we brought wholesaling, added lending, sprinkled in multi-family investment strategies, and traditional 1-4 unit real estate experience and put it all under 1 umbrella.
Our idea: Add an incredible amount of experience (collectively north of 7000+ transactions)and massive value to everyone that attends. We have a series of guest speakers coming in to discuss varying levels of investment strategies. Many will discuss their failures with equal parts to their successes.
How do you assess deals? What makes a flip/hold strategy work? Where do I get the money? Where do I find the properties? What benefits of wholesale vs retail? How do I keep the money in my pocket? What are tax strategies? What's non-recourse vs recourse? Can I invest in real estate with no tax returns? Cap rates/NOI... how to raise capital, partnership structures for multi-family, tax strategies, cash flow analysis... Anything and everything related to deal structure. From flips to 1-4 units... From how you can go from 1 to 650 units. Bridge financing options, short-term notes, ground-up financing for investment properties, hard money, and how it works... There has never been a group comprised of this much information for you to learn from.
The end goal: EDUCATE! We want all those who attend to come out of each of our sessions ready to take on the world. This will be the event of all events.
Sponsorship opportunities are available.
