Meeting Topic: Brent Bowers, an original Co-Host of this event is returning back to join us one more time! Brent began exploring real estate investing as a way to support his family while being able to enjoy more time with them, as well. In a short amount of time, Brent was able to expand his business, hire a team and, most importantly, spend quality time with his family while still working hard and helping others. While Brent invests in many different types of real estate, his most successful investment strategy is buying and selling vacant land, and he enjoys sharing his expertise in this area through his online coaching course, The Land Sharks Program. Brent will be going over the NEW opportunity to make a fortune in land investing.

Meeting Topic: Colm McCormack began investing in real estate in 1998 right here in Colorado Springs. During those 26 years he has bought and sold just over 1,000 houses, mostly through wholesaling, both in Colorado and out of state. He has also bought, sold, and originated notes, rented out properties, and fixed & flipped properties. He has spoken at many real estate groups and coached newer investors on how to succeed in the business. Tonight, Colm will be speaking about how to find deals in our slowing market, what has been working for him, and what has not been working for him. He will leave lots of Q&A time to address specific questions individuals may have.

Meeting Topic: Mr. Priebe has his office in Colorado Springs, CO. He has been practicing law for 30 years, with many of those years dedicated to representing wholesalers, flippers and real estate brokers. As a real estate investor himself, he understands the needs of those who also invest in real estate. He will be available to take your questions about the subject topic as well as other questions.

Major Subject Topic: New laws concerning the Colorado tax lien sales process which started July 1, 2024.

Minor Subject Topic: Corporate Transparency Act

On January 1, 2021, Congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021, which includes the Corporate Transparency Act (the CTA). The new requirements under CTA will start January 1, 2024, for new businesses and January 1, 2025 for existing businesses. The CTA requires all U.S. businesses to file “beneficial ownership” information with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Mr. Priebe will be discussing this major piece of regulation. If you currently have an entity or plan to start an entity, you need to know about this matter.

Dan Haberkost – I discovered real estate investing while I was finishing college and purchased my first house hack before graduating. Currently, I work for myself managing my portfolio of rental properties, developing single family/small multi family homes and buying/selling land on notes. It's amazing how quickly I've been able to create complete freedom over my time through RE investing and I'm happy to help others do the same any way I can!
