Want to get into real estate investing?

Then there's something you need to know:
The expensive part isn't learning how to do it.
The expensive part is doing your first deal

WITHOUT knowing what you're doing.
Especially in 2026.

Prices are high. Interest rates are high. Financing has changed. And a deal that looks great to an inexperienced investor can turn into an expensive lesson very quickly.

That's why we're spending TWO FULL DAYS covering the real-world fundamentals you need BEFORE you do your first deal.

No hype.
No "get rich quick."
No pretending every property is a deal or
that every strategy works for everyone.

Over these two days, you’ll learn:

📌What a “successful deal” really means—because buying a property isn’t the goal. Buying one that produces the income or profit you intended is.

📌The 5 basic exit strategies—wholesale, retail, rental, rent-to-own, and sell with financing—and how to recognize which makes sense for you and the property.

📌How real investors find off-market deals where there’s an opportunity to get a better price, better terms, or both.

📌How to determine what a property is actually worth BEFORE you make an offer, so you know whether you really have a deal.

📌How to finance deals when you have money and credit, including hard money, DSCR loans, and conventional financing.

📌How to finance and control properties WITHOUT your own cash and credit, using subject-to, owner financing, and master leases.

📌How to negotiate more effectively and uncover what a seller really needs.

📌How to avoid the costly mistakes new investors make over and over again.

📌How to get the help you need to do your first deals without paying a fortune for it.

Your instructor, Vena Jones-Cox, has spent 35 years doing more than 2,000 real estate deals, including flips, rentals, lease/options, seller-financed deals, private loans, creative acquisitions, and off-market deals.

She's also been featured in Money Magazine, USA Today, Reader's Digest, and Gary Keller's bestseller The Millionaire Real Estate Investor.

This is your chance to spend two days building the knowledge base you need to evaluate opportunities with a lot more confidence—and avoid the mistakes that wipe out so many new investors.

The workshop will be recorded, and all registrants receive the recording.
Registration is just $47 for members AND non-members through September 24.

After September 24, it's $67.

And it's backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee or your money back.
