There's a Reason Why They Call Him "Mr. Incredible!" Since Getting Started as a Real Estate Investor In 2012, Howard Johnson Routinely Gets 6-Figure Checks By Wholesaling Single-Family Houses In the D.C. Region. Now He Shares His Story... [Join Us For This Important and Timely Master Class - REGISTER BELOW] After getting taken by the "out-of-town gurus" for more than $30,000, Howard Johnson had a deep sense that no one teaching people how to make money in real estate was "capable of telling the truth". Despite his distrust of real estate trainers and training programs, he decided to go at it "one last time" and after doing his research discovered Sherman Ragland and Realinvestors®️. After agreeing to "give Realinvestors®️ a shot", Howard got his first deal in just 14 days. After closing his first deal, he went on to do 14 more deals in less than a year, earning over $100,000 and his personal financial freedom. Today, Howard routinely makes $18,000, $22,000 and $24,000, per deal. On several occasions, Howard has made over $100,000, on just one deal by simply putting the property under contract and "flipping the contract". Today, Howard shares the details of his Realinvestors®️ Journey, and how he gets 6-figure Paydays by wholesaling single-family houses in the Greater Washington, D.C. Region.

Learn how seller finance and notes can create cash flow and new deal opportunities with 40-year investor Eddie Speed **FREE TICKET** 🎟️ https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-structure-real-estate-deals-using-seller-finance-and-notes-tickets-1984826171509?aff=cicmeetupapp Most real estate investors only know one way to make money: Buy the property. Fix the property. Rent it or sell it. But there’s another side of real estate that can create cash flow, flexibility, and opportunity without only focusing on owning more property. At this month’s Columbus Investors Club, Tiffany and Josh High are sitting down with Eddie Speed - a real estate veteran with 40 years of experience who has closed more than 50,000 note deals. He has spent decades helping investors understand how to structure deals through seller finance and notes, and how to think more like the bank instead of just the buyer. This will be a practical conversation around a part of real estate most people have heard about, but very few truly understand. If you’ve ever wanted to know how to create more opportunities in deals, generate cash flow in a different way, or understand how seller finance actually works in the real world, this is a night you want to be in the room for. You’ll walk away thinking about deals differently, seeing new possibilities, and understanding how creative structuring can open doors that traditional investing alone can’t. **What You’ll Learn** * How seller finance works in real estate deals * How notes fit into real estate and create opportunity * How to structure deals more creatively * How investors generate cash flow by focusing on the payment * How to think like the bank instead of only focusing on owning the property * How this strategy can create flexibility in today’s market **Open Q&A - Ask Eddie Anything About** * Seller finance and how to use it in real deals * How notes work in a practical, beginner-friendly way * Creating cash flow without only relying on rentals * Structuring deals that others might miss * How experienced investors think differently about financing * Common mistakes investors make when they only focus on the property **Why You Should Be in the Room** Because the investors who win in the long run know how to do more than just buy houses. They know how to structure.They know how to create terms.They know how to see opportunities other people miss. This is the kind of conversation that can expand the way you think about real estate entirely. Come ready to learn, ask questions, take notes, and connect with people who are serious about growing in this business. **Reserve your free seat now - and be part of the conversation.** Grab your spot here ➡️ https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-structure-real-estate-deals-using-seller-finance-and-notes-tickets-1984826171509?aff=cicmeetupapp
