Join us online for Haves and Wants (PropSwap)! Bring whatever value you have to offer—or whatever missing piece your current deal needs—and pitch it directly to our nationwide investor network.

How to Participate:

• Pitch Your "Haves": Share off-market contracts, turnkey rentals, available private funding, or specialized industry skills.
• Request Your "Wants": Tell the group precisely what you're looking for—whether it's cash buyers, private lenders, general contractors, or deal partners.
• Troubleshoot Problem Deals: Present a stuck scenario or complex closing challenge and get real-time feedback from veteran operators.

Real estate investing didn’t start with viral videos or crazy housing trends. For decades, ordinary people have built lasting wealth by buying, selling, renting, financing, and creatively controlling real estate through every market cycle—booms, recessions, high interest rates, and low ones.

The market shifts, but the core fundamentals of doing a successful deal never change. Skip the social media hype and join us for an intensive, two-day masterclass: TWO-DAY Real Estate Investor Basic Training: The No-BS Guide to What You Need to Know Before You Do Your First Deal led by 35-year real estate veteran Vena Jones-Cox!

What You’ll Learn Over Two Days:

• The 5 Core Exit Strategies: Master wholesaling, retail flipping, buy-and-hold rentals, rent-to-own (lease/option), and seller financing—and know exactly when to deploy each.
• Finding Off-Market Opportunities: Learn how active investors source motivated sellers off-market to secure better prices and flexible terms.
• Accurate Property Valuation: How to evaluate comps and determine true property value before making an offer so you never overpay.
• Traditional & Creative Financing: Navigate hard money, DSCR loans, and conventional debt—plus cash-free techniques like subject-to, owner financing, and master leases.
• High-Leverage Negotiation: Discover how to uncover what a seller truly needs and structure win-win offers.
• Avoiding New Investor Traps: Spot red flags early, protect your capital, and learn how to get guidance on your first transactions without paying a fortune.
