Online Workshop: How to Find, Evaluate, Finance, Manage, and Scale Single Family Homes
with Elizabeth Enright Phillips — Saturday, March 28th, 8 a.m.–3 p.m. Central

Most landlords are doing it the hard way.
They’re buying deals that aren’t really deals. They’re financing them wrong. And then they’re managing them reactively—always chasing tenants, maintenance issues, and problems that a good system would have prevented.
Elizabeth Enright Phillips—mother of six, community-changer, and one of the most systemized landlords we know—has built a different kind of single family rental business. She buys strategically (often creatively, without big down payments). She renovates thoughtfully. And she manages her residents through a training program that produces better tenants, fewer headaches, and stronger communities.
On Saturday, March 28th, she’s going to show you the whole system, from finding the right deals off market to scaling without chaos.
You’ll learn:

1. How to find and negotiate off-market deals like a pro
2. How to evaluate properties so you stop chasing the wrong ones
3. Financing options, BRRRR strategy, and how to raise funds for your reno
4. Her hybrid self-management approach and renter training system
5. How to scale your holdings without complicating your life

This is a full-day online workshop. It’s cheap, it’s recorded, and it comes with a satisfaction guarantee.
Remember, to actually reserve your seat, you have to go HERE and register on our website!

7-Week Member-Only Sunday Night Series
Sundays, February 15 – March 29
6:30–8:00 PM Central ONLINE
One registration. All seven sessions.
Taught by real-life investors and experts.

There’s a reason so many investors feel confused about the market right now.

Most education focuses on tactics—how to find deals, screen tenants, analyze rehabs.

Very few investors are ever taught how the world those tactics live in actually works.

That’s why people get stuck and second-guess themselves when:

• Deals sell slower and prices or rents feel stuck—even during a “housing shortage”
• Sellers keep asking more, even when properties aren’t moving
• The Fed cuts rates, but mortgage rates don’t follow
• Headlines blame investors for housing costs while ignoring rising taxes, insurance, labor, materials, and utilities

Things are clearly changing—but why?

And more importantly: how do you turn market shifts into opportunities instead of paralysis?

This series exists to give our members something most investors never receive:

A working understanding of the forces outside their control that determine what deals make sense—now and in the future.

We won’t teach wholesaling, flipping, short-term rentals, or deal formulas.

Instead, you’ll learn how to think like an investor who understands money, markets, and cycles—and that changes everything.

Think of this as the orientation most real estate investors never get.

What You’ll Be Able to Do When You’re Done

• Make smarter investing decisions in any market
• Understand why strategies thrive in one cycle and fail in another
• Separate signal from noise when the market feels chaotic
• Evaluate deals and financing with more confidence
• Stop blaming “the market” and start understanding it

This is the lens that makes everything else you learn more useful.

## 👤 WHO THIS IS FOR

This is for you if:
✔ You’ve looked at rentals recently and the numbers didn’t work
✔ You don’t want to rely on large down payments
✔ You’re trying to figure out how deals actually get done in today’s market
✔ You’re new OR already investing and want better options

***

## 🎤 YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Vena Jones-Cox has been buying rental properties using creative financing since 1990.
She’s completed hundreds of deals and is known nationwide for showing investors how to structure deals that actually work in the real world—not just on paper.

***

## 📚 WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

✔ How creative strategies like subject-to, owner financing, and partnerships can work together in one deal
✔ Why some investors can pay today’s prices and still cash flow
✔ How to structure terms sellers will accept (without competing on price)
✔ Real examples of deals that work in today’s market
✔ What to do next if you want to start using these strategies

***

## 🔑 WHY THIS MATTERS RIGHT NOW

• Sellers are sitting on low-interest loans
• Traditional financing is harder than ever
• “Good deals” are harder to find

Creative deal structures solve all three—if you know how to use them.
