Is your St. Louis real estate investing business everything you want it to be… is something missing or just not right?

2nd question: How good do you feel about your negotiations on real estate deals?

Hi there, I’m Jeremy Vlasich, and I’m really excited to announce that I will be training on investor’s mindset and negotiations for your next FasterHouse Buyers’ Club meeting on September 19th! By the way, this is my first tent revival and I am super excited!

So, I’m an agent and investor with over 16 years of real estate investing experience and over 850 transactions under my belt. And because I’m passionate about this business—and about helping other investors succeed—I’m going to be presenting on investor mindset and real estate negotiations.

What can you expect to learn on September 19th:
• What is wrong with my mindset? I think it is good???

• Why most investors lose deals that they really should be able to get. In fact, I have concrete “real” examples in the St. Louis market.

• What are some simple strategies to make win-win scenarios for the seller and buyer.

• How to cut the quantity of your deals in half but still make the same amount of income.

• Setting the right mood and tone for negotiations.

• Stand on the shoulders of giants! Use other people’s experiences to shorten your learning curve and quickly maximize your ultimate success. You will be better, faster, and quicker to your goals!

• Wow! You are going to give me multiple scripts that work in our market? Yes. I will be giving you scripts that I personally use in the St. Louis market.

Excited to see you at the September 19th FasterHouse Buyers’ Club Meeting!

Have you ever walked into a house and seen a repair or a situation that you had no idea how to fix or what the cost would be? Or are you brand new and thinking, "Where do I even start with a rehab?”

How do I know what the cost of a repair is going to be?

Most of us are not contractors. Luckily for you, our next speaker has worked on over 1000 rehabs and will show you how to estimate repairs accurately every time! Most of the time in under 10 minutes.

-Did I budget enough for repairs in my offer?
-Am I making the right repairs?
-How do I find my contractors?
-What repairs command the highest return?

Matt Hedstrom is going to answer all of these questions and more as he has worked as a general contractor and rehabber for over 20 years in Wisconsin.

Matt may not be from our market, but he has tested and used his numbers across the US, including the St. Louis market.

So, What Do You Do Now?

Come out to FasterHouse Buyers' Club on Thursday, August 15th to learn from Matt Hedstrom on how to rehab properties right.

Bryan's Journey to Financial Freedom Thru Real Estate


Bryan has had a huge desire for Financial Freedom ever since meeting Robert Allen back in the 90’s. Robert had an income stream WAY greater than his monthly expenses. He didn’t have to work another day in his life if he didn’t want to. Bryan thought, “holy ****, that would be a game changer.” At the time he was living pay check to pay check as a real estate appraiser.

Then one day in 2002 at breakfast he and his business partner Jim Stiegemeier decided to quit their jobs and jump into Real Estate Investing Full-Time. At first it was two men and a truck (Jim, Bryan and a Toyota Tundra) flipping one house at a time.

In one sense this gave a ton of Freedom. No boss, no time clock, no schedule. Just find deals, rehab then and sell them. Hopefully, for a HUGE profit. There were challenges along the way but they were WAY outweighed by the FREEDOM! But he wanted more…….

He wanted that income stream that came in whether or not he found that next deal. This is when they started buying rentals. One or two every month for the next 12 years. Damn, that is a lot of houses! Every time they bought another house, as long as it cash flowed, they increased their income. This is how Bryan eventually found Financial Freedom.

Come out to the club on June 20th. He is going to share some hilarious stories from the journey along with some incredibly valuable lessons he has learned over the years. Lessons that you can use in your business today whether you are a new real estate investor or if you have been in the business for many years.

Bryan loves to share what he has learned in the hopes to help others who also have that strong desire to find Freedom!

FasterHouse Buyers Club is Real Estate Investors Club that meets on the third Thursday of every month. With a casual, informal agenda, these meetings are designed to allow everyone the opportunity to ask questions, network and walk away with some new knowledge.

Please RSVP here

Come learn how to invest and take advantage of Self-Directed IRAs!

Self-Directed IRA/401(k) investing, although widely misunderstood and underutilized, allows investors to architect a diversification strategy with assets often not found in traditional asset allocation models. Assets including, but not limited to, real estate, mortgage notes and trust deeds, small businesses, joint ventures, private equity, and precious metals. Kent Kinzer with Equity Trust will be covering:

o 7 types of tax-advantaged accounts available at Equity Trust
o What type of self-directed IRA investments are allowable by the IRS
o Real-life case studies of self-directed IRA success
o Answers to other common questions about how the investment process works and what documents are required

Equity Trust Company offers a comprehensive self-directed IRA/401(k) educational program, providing useful tools, resources, and insight into the methods used by Equity Trust’s 130,000+ clients. The tactics discussed will demonstrate methods to potentially eliminate capital gains tax and ordinary income taxes within your real estate and or alternative investment assets through tax-advantaged retirement accounts. Attendees have the opportunity to leave this training with the knowledge and guidance to formulate and implement alternative investing into their financial plan. We look forward to seeing you there!

*First Time attendees are free!*
