More than ever we are in a time where not only are deals more challenging to find, notice I didn't say impossible, but money can be more expensive than ever.  And let's face it, there are times when private money can be hard to find.  Especially when you're starting out.  

Steven is traveling from Oklahoma to join us at Profit With Real Estate to teach how he has scaled his real estate portfolio to massive levels leveraging banks.  He will be discussing bank funding strategies, how to's, things not to do, and how to build a compelling reason for banks to WANT to do business with you.  

Steven has mastered this strategy and I can tell you first hand that it is powerful.  This is definitely a meeting to add to the calendar and prioritize. See you there!

For 12 years I worked at UPS, most of those years as a full time delivery driver.  Additionally, we had rental properties to maintain and a financial coaching business.  I was never home.  This crazy thing happened as a result of that.....WE NEVER FOUGHT!

In November of 2016 I said goodbye to UPS in favor of being a full time real estate investor.  I now had a flexible schedule that found me home with my family quite often.  Bliss right!?!?  Not exactly.  We suddenly fought all the time!  

Elizabeth and I have built our real estate business together as a husband and wife team since the beginning.  This month we will share how we gained our financial independence through real estate with a growing family and a full time job along with some lessons we learned, many the hard way, over 23 years of marriage and 8 years of working our business together.

I learned early on the power of found money.  Whether that was money hidden somewhere in a retirement account or even money a friend was looking to get a return on but wasn't happy with the stock market.  Wednesday June 19th we are excited to welcome Brent Kesler, Founder of The Money Multiplier, to Profit with Real Estate to teach us another strategy to find money and provide rocket fuel for our real estate businesses and to our family finances.

Brent has been lecturing to thousands of people around the country on the dynamics of the TMM (The Money Multiplier) Method and helping individuals to break the bonds of financial slavery and taking control of their own financial life. He has a passionate belief that whether you make $10/hour or $10,000/hour you should know and have this powerful information and keep control of your own money.

So whether your brand new or a seasoned investor come join our free meetup to network with like minded folks, raise or lend money, or just to grab a pizza and learn.  Look forward to seeing you there.  Please introduce yourself to me when you come! -Kurt

A picture is worth a thousand words.....or dollars!  Photography can be a powerful tool for marketing your flip or as I have seen personally marketing your rental properties to prospective residents.  This Wednesday at 6:00 PM we have Brian Ballmann, founder of Fairytale Films coming to Profit With Real Estate to share his expertise on this valuable topic.  

Additionally, this meet up exists not just for education but to move everyone's business forward.  So whether you come with questions and just getting started, offering a product or service that could benefit the attendees, or just love real estate and want to rub elbows with other folks getting after it just like yourself, come join us for a pizza and beverage!

In 2017 my wife and I were struggling to build our real estate portfolio.  I had just left my job as a UPS driver and we were struggling.  In stepped my coach and mentor who taught us not only the power of using private money but walked us through how to do it.  This literally changed our lives.  No exaggeration!  

Wednesday night March 20th come join us as Chad Harris, an absolute private money wizard, will come to our group to share exactly how he raised private money to build a significant portfolio.  Be sure to bring a notebook and pen to take notes because Chad is an excellent teacher and you WILL walk away with serious action steps for raising private money now.

I can remember a shift happening in my real estate business. It went from paying the bills and putting food on the table to having impact on our community. It was subtle at first but has since gained real legs and become a primary driver in what we do. 

This month we have a private organization called The Refuge located right here in Lancaster doing just that. Their purpose is changing the lives of men impacted by addictions and seeing them set free. Come hear some of the amazing things they do to get men back on their feet and making serious impact in our community. Spoiler alert, they do some really cool things with real estate to make that happen!
