“Relationships are the Key to Unlocking Seller Financing

Seller Financing is an important tool for creating deals in today’s market. Jeff Stephens teaches us to educate owners on the value to Unlock Seller Financing Purchases.  

Share these benefits with landlords – sellers for Interest income, tax benefits and ongoing “passive income” for them (without any more toilets, tenants & property management for sellers).

 Join Jeff Stephens on Wednesday October 12th @ 5 PM a ZOOM event.

Jeff will cover, what do investors want the most? To buy more properties!

Jeff will show where most investors go wrong, and how to avoid those mistakes. Finding, winning and financing those additional purchases can be easier said than done, however, which makes Seller Financing a very compelling notion.  While many investors complain “there are no Seller Financing deals in my market,” those who have mastered this craft are buying Seller-Financed properties continuously.  In this presentation, Jeff Stephens, founder of The Thoughtful Real Estate Entrepreneur, will explain why focusing on Relationship—from lead generation all the way through closing—is the single biggest key to unlocking Seller Finance acquisitions.

Zoom meetings are FREE to annual members and $30 per meeting for non-members.

Building Wealth One House at a Time in a Rapidly Changing World. Join John Schaub one of our most requested speakers on Wednesday September 14th

John Schaub

Building Wealth One House at a Time in a Rapidly Changing World

John Schaub has prospered during three recessions, four tax law changes, and interest rates ranging from 6-16% in his 35 years as a real estate investor. His 2005 best-selling book, Building Wealth One House at a Time, assisted more than 100,000 real estate enthusiasts on their way to successful invest­ing. His 2007 book, Building Wealth in a Changing Real Estate Market, is available online and in bookstores.

Join John on Wednesday September 14th @ 5 PM a ZOOM event.

John will cover:

  • Should you sell now and buy back later?
  • Are tenants worth the hassle?
  • Fix up what you have or buy more?
  • Should you have cash on hand, if so where and how much?
  • My best and worst deals

John recommends buying better, well-located houses rather than cheaper houses and other management-intensive properties. Better houses are more profitable and far less trouble. He advocates paying off debt, owning properties free and clear, and renting only to long-term, high-quality tenants.

John buys, sells and manages his own properties, and enjoys providing quality housing at fair prices for working families in his community. He teaches one Building Wealth One House at a Time seminar each year where students learn how to identify the best investment property in their town, how to buy it at below-market prices, and how to negotiate terms that guarantee a profit.
