Get Smarter about Lending

[Nate Jones]

We'll have a wide range of speakers - all people that have a ton of experience in real estate investing and financing. When I first started investing -- I thought bankers were a commodity and that we just needed someone to say yes to financing property. I couldn't have been more incorrect. There are countless ways to finance properties -- and the rewards go to those that shake a lot of hands to give the investor a bunch of options along the way.

Speakers will include:

• Adnan Pasic -- Adnan runs the Lancaster branch of People's Bank. If you've never met Adnan, you're in for a treat. He is super sharp, great service, and huge ambitions. You won't be disappointed. Expert in commercial and investment lending.

• John Schmiesing -- John is both an investor AND an active private money lender. Oh, and a really smart guy that you should know.

• Andrea Cooke -- Andrea is a residential lender with Ephrata National Bank. This is great b/c we'll have a killer contrast here in residential lending (which can still be used for investments if you buy in your name), commercial lending, and private money lending.

I'll be moderating. For better or worse, we have worked with over 12 lenders, so we've seen a lot of crazy stuff.

If that isn't enough --- we're going to do a short case study on why you need to increase rent each year. Or at least why we think you do. Feel free to come and disagree!

We also launched the Meetup real-estate education lending program. If you have a real estate or business book that you are willing to lend out --- bring it to the meetup! In return, you can go shopping for a book yourself to borrow, all for free!
