Unlocking Retirement Capital: Flips, Wholesales & Private Money Strategies
FREE meetup. Register HERE 🎟️- https://www.eventbrite.com/e/unlocking-retirement-capital-flips-wholesales-private-money-strategies-tickets-1983411263481?aff=cicmeetupapp
**Unlocking Retirement Capital: Flips, Wholesales & Private Money Strategies in Self-Directed Accounts**
**Featuring Guest Speaker:** Amanda Holbrook (Specialized Trust Company)
**Hosted by:** Columbus Investors Club
### **Event Description**
Most people think retirement accounts are passive.
That they’re “for later.”That you can’t touch them. That real estate and retirement money don’t mix.
They’re wrong.
This meetup is about how investors use **Self-Directed IRAs and Solo 401(k)s** to put retirement capital to work…**buying real estate, funding deals, and even raising private money** (the right way).
### **Featured Guest Speaker: Amanda Holbrook**
We’re excited to welcome **Amanda Holbrook of Specialized Trust Company** to break this down clearly and practically…so you understand what’s allowed, how it works, and what to avoid.
### **What You’ll Learn**
Amanda will walk through:
**Flip inside a Self-Directed IRA or Solo-401(k)**
* How to structure the deal correctly
* How expenses must be handled
* When UBIT may apply
**Wholesale within a retirement account**
* How assignments work
* What type of income it creates
**Use OPM (Other People’s Money) to scale**
* How investors raise private money from Self-Directed IRAs
* How to structure notes properly
* How to fund deals inside **and** outside your own retirement account
### **The Core Idea**
There is a lot of capital sitting in retirement accounts.
This session shows you how real estate investors unlock it **without guessing, winging it, or accidentally creating a compliance mess.**
### **Who This Event Is For**
* Investors flipping or wholesaling who want to understand self-directed rules
* Anyone raising private money (or wanting more capital sources)
* People with retirement funds who want them working harder than stocks/mutual funds

**Date & Time:** Thursday, March 26th, 6–8 PM *(Doors open at 5:30)*

Meet and Greet format....show up after 7pm, pay your $15 at the cash register, get your wine glass, and enjoy. I will get a table reserved for the group.

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
**Abstract**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.

Let's try a Friday Night Fish Fry!
We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM.
It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!
