A lot of people get into real estate because they want freedom.
Then they buy a rental…and realize most of the rent goes straight to the bank.

They technically own property, but the mortgage controls the income. And waiting 30 years for properties to be paid off doesn’t feel realistic.

This meetup is about understanding a different way to think about rental properties… one that focuses on paying them off sooner so the income is actually usable.

Featured Guest Speaker: John Blackburn
We’re excited to welcome John Blackburn as our guest speaker for this event.
John has been actively investing in real estate since 2006 and has:

• Been involved in 5,000+ real estate transactions
• Helped investors acquire over $150 million in rental property
• Raised more than $100 million in private capital

John didn’t start with family money or shortcuts. He built his portfolio by focusing on clear systems, real numbers, and long-term strategy.
For this meetup, John will walk through how investors shift their focus from simply owning rentals to building properties that eventually pay them…without a mortgage attached.

What You’ll Learn
John will break down, in simple terms:

• Why most rental properties don’t produce much usable income early on
• Why buying more rentals isn’t always the answer
• How investors structure their properties to pay off mortgages in a fraction of the time
• How properties can work together to eliminate debt faster
• What changes once rentals become free and clear

This approach is often referred to as an accelerated paydown strategy — using rental income intentionally to reduce debt sooner, rather than waiting decades for mortgages to run their course.
John will also share a simple calculator you can use to see how this works with real numbers and realistic scenarios.

The Core Idea
When a rental has a mortgage, the rent has one job: pay the bank.
When a rental is paid off, the rent has a different job: pay you.
Most people only see one timeline…30 years.
This session shows how investors shorten that timeline and gradually increase their income as properties become free and clear.

Who This Event Is For
This event is for people who want more than just “owning rentals” on paper.

• Rental owners who are tired of most of the rent going to the bank and want a clearer path to real, usable income
• New investors who want to understand how rental properties actually build wealth over time before jumping in
• People with capital who want to invest in real estate with intention and a long-term plan
• Anyone serious about freedom and curious how rental properties transition from debt-heavy assets into income-producing ones
