How to Build Your Wealth In6 Hours Or Less A MonthUsing A Completely New ParadigmWithout The Stress Of Risky Investments

That’s a BOLD promise!

Anyone who is familiar with George Antone and his proven advanced strategies know they are in for a treat because George always fulfills on his bold promises! George, a 3-time best-selling author and thought leader in the finance and investing space, has blown the lid off a new paradigm no one is teaching; or even talking about, until now! Imagine low-risk and low-stress strategies that are implemented one time and placed on autopilot to work FOR you starting ASAP – all in 6 hours or less per month! In fact, keep reading for a $100k+ strategy that will be revealed in this presentation! No, this is not a “get rich quick” strategy, but a fascinating way to tweak finance to make it work for you in amazing ways!

The traditional methods of building wealth can be grouped into 3 main categories: Investing, Trading and Saving. These traditional methods work; however, they require a lifetime commitment of learning and implementation.
George has been working on this new paradigm, a 4th method, called “Hacking Finance” – that promises the ability to LEARN and IMPLEMENT each financial strategy within a total of 6 hours or less, and then place it on autopilot to keep working for you! …and you are about to walk away with one of these $100k+ “shortcuts” just from this presentation! This is NOT an overnight $100k+ strategy, but something you implement one time, and it builds over a number of years into $100k or more on autopilot.

What if you are already investing or lending? Quite simply, these methods will increase your existing returns tremendously! Come discover from George’s #1 trainer how to boost your yields by combining this system with your existing investments! That’s exactly why we’re excited to have Paul Rossano, George’s top trainer, as our guest speaker this month; sharing this unique and creative new way to approach finance and investing. Paul will also be sharing this new paradigm, and will give you details of ONE of those strategies that banks use (called “floats”), that you can use to skyrocket your wealth. Paul will demonstrate what you need to do the very next morning at your local bank to increase your wealth by $100k+ over a number of years on autopilot without the stress of risky investments… and this is just ONE of MANY strategies! Some people work hard.

Others work smart. This is working smart!

If you want your path to financial freedom made easier, then this is something you cannot afford to miss out on! It just might be what you are looking for! With a few financial tweaks and this different approach, you’ll find you have more time and money to work with than you thought. Leap forward financially with less risk, less stress, and more time to enjoy life! Join below and experience what George’s inner circle is using to build their wealth and peace of mind, in a relatively short period of time. This is truly exciting stuff to know and we’re excited it’s being shared with us!

See you there!

April Guest: Bethany Finch

Looking for investment strategies and diversification? Can't quite get a handle on this wholesaling thing? Pretty much figured out the flip thing, but running out of deals or want to reduce your tax bills? Wanting to get into rentals but have no idea what BRRR is let alone how to manage one? How do you buy where you can afford when it's 5 states away? What are short term rentals and why would you want to do that? Want to gain even more passive income and invest in multifamily, but don't know how to start? Why all the hullabaloo about opportunity zones and syndications?

This month's Bellingham REAPS meetup we will dive into all these questions. Joining us will be Bethany Finch from American Made Home Solutions. They have over 25 years property and asset management in multifamily and single family, 30 years teaching and coaching experience, a decade of working with nonprofits and private corporations, construction and even translating experience. Bethany is passionate about helping others find ways to give them resources that will help them in their own family's and businesses and will help grow our community. So bring your questions and your friends and join us on April 24th, you'll be glad you did!

It’s YOUR Responsibility to Capture Your Tax Deductions

Your accountant or CPA can only be as good as the information you give them! Join us at the next REAPS Kitsap meeting as special guest Pat James focuses on how to capture ALL the tax deductions legally allowed by categorizing expenses the right way. It’s not about who does your taxes, rather what information you give them! The emphasis on personal and business taxes includes strategies used for legally reducing your overall tax burden.

About Pat James

Patrick James, president and CEO of United States Tax Relief LLC. He is an active real estate investor (including Notes) and has dedicated his entire career to helping people capture ALL the tax deductions legally allowed through implementing specific strategies allowed by the IRS. His marketing expertise was instrumental in launching a tax reduction program with a former senior trial attorney for the IRS. Together, they created a Tax Reduction program that teaches people how to take advantage of every possible tax deduction in order to minimize tax liabilities and becoming audit proof in the process.

Patrick graduated from the University of Portland in 1986 with a degree in Economics, Social Studies & Psychology. The year he graduated he was inducted into “Who’s Who in Colleges and Universities”. In 2002, he became president of a national tax education firm, which specialized in financial and tax education.

Patrick has been a guest on more than 1,000 radio and television talk shows and was featured in Explanations and Newsweek, It's Your Money (a New York Times best-seller). He was also the recipient of the Business Man of the Year 2002. He has spoken at over 1,000 conferences to groups as large as 62,000 people with such luminaries as:

*Alan Greenspan *Suzi Orman *Robert Kiyosaki *Magic Johnson *Kevin Harrington*George Forman *Tony Robbins *Jay Leno and many others.

He has written two books, Secrets of the Self-Made Millionaires and How to Save Thousands on your Taxes.

His program is so successful, Members of the hit TV show “Shark Tank” have become clients.

Taxes are the single largest expense most families are faced with today. With all the 2018 changes, you can discover thousands of dollars in additional deductions that were never available before including the new 20% deduction for Qualified Business Income (QBI). Even if you don’t have a business, the average family of four will save on average $10,000 this year on their taxes by understanding and implementing these strategies.

The Master is ComingRon LeGrand – Godfather of Real Estate

After 36 years, buying over 3,000 houses, and training hundreds of thousands of students worldwide, Ron is the undisputed Godfather in the industry and a highly sought-after educator. His humorous lectures all lead to one underlying mission for those fortunate enough to be in his classes. That mission - learn how to buy and sell houses without using your money or credit, reducing risk, building and protecting cash flow and wealth, and doing it all in a few hours a month. Ron is a master of making the fastest and easiest money in real estate using automation, delegation, and systems so you can work less and make more. He is the trainer’s trainer and is credited with changing a lot of lives, launching new careers, and creating many multi-millionaires.

Remember, you can bring deals Thursday night to the REAPS meeting, and you have another chance to bring Seattle leads on Saturday and watch them get processed. All morning while Ron is teaching, Lynette will be calling the leads you bring and making Seattle deals. This is not a seminar – it’s a deal-a-thon! Ron and Lynette always get 5-7 deals during the Saturday event but if you bring a few leads on Thursday night, you get a head start!

After lunch on Saturday Ron will go through all the negotiated deals and show you what to expect on the front-end, what the monthly cash flow will look like, and what to do next. Ron is making this special trip to Seattle for REAPS. He’s only attending our meeting Thursday night and only REAPS members will be invited to Saturday’s event.

There is no workshop like this anywhere. It’s the only place you’ll see live Seattle deals done while you watch. Click here to get the info on the Saturday event and watch this video to bring leads on Thursday and Saturday. You may never get this opportunity again. By the way, the first 40 to register for Saturday’s event will get a free dinner with Ron and Lynette on Friday night. Don’t wait until the meeting to register.

Our REAPS Main Meeting is held monthly on the fourth Thursday and is open to the public. This event is FREE for members and FREE for guests who have registered online or $25 at the door. Registration is required to attend. Doors open at 6:00pm for networking, meeting begins at 7:00pm. Tonight's Meeting is at the Bellevue Hilton Hotel in the beautiful, newly renovated Ballroom!

He is the trainer’s trainer and is credited with changing a lot of lives, launching new careers, and creating many multi-millionaires.

Ron has prepared a special presentation for our meeting called “It’s Never Been Easier”. You’ll see how the fastest, biggest, and easiest money is made with houses using no credit and little or no money. He’ll show you how he and thousands of his students buy beautiful houses in the best neighborhoods in all price ranges…without risk, credit apps, or banks and quickly turn them into cash flow machines that pay for years.

He’ll be accompanied by Lynette Wolff who with her husband Brian, do 6 deals a month, none are rehabs, and make seven figures annually – and have for the last ten years. On Friday, Lynette will spend the day calling FSBO’s and creating deals for all those who bring Seattle leads to the meeting the night before. You can learn how to bring yours here. A few calls to sellers who’ve advertised their house for sale before the meeting could result in a deal netting you 20-50K in the next 45 days. Watch this video and bring a few leads.

On Saturday, Ron will be doing his all-day workshop, Fast Track to Wealth, and going step-by-step over how he makes millionaires and why this business has never been easier. FYI, the guru still does 2-4 deals a month. You’ll get to see

Who is Ron LeGrand?

Allow me to introduce myself. I’m from humble beginnings, a former auto mechanic who couldn’t even make ends meet working overtime. I’ll never forget telling my wife again and again we couldn’t afford a new washing machine when our old one broke. Today, we live in a 7,000 square foot home in Florida. I’ve bought and sold over 3,500 homes and commercial properties all over America (using the same System I’ll give you) and I have thousands of people I’ve helped and am helping to achieve their grandest goals. I’d like to share my story with you…

I’ve been buying “quick-turning” for cash and keeping as investment houses as an independent investor and entrepreneur for 35 years. You can’t do that by random. You can’t do it “hit or miss” or you’d be broke, and I’m not; I’m quite rich. That’s because I have an actual SYSTEM for this that anybody can follow. And just about all business success and wealth is based on SYSTEMS. McDonald’s has a System for efficiently serving food. Southwest Airlines has a System for efficiently transporting passengers. “Old” wealth, like the Ford family’s, came from the Systems of assembly-line manufacturing and franchised dealerships. “New” wealth, like the Walton’s family’s, came from the Wal-Mart Systems for regional warehousing and distribution and controlling costs. In your job or business, you undoubtedly have Systems.

I have a System for efficiently locating, accurately analyzing, and intelligently purchasing certain very specific types of real estate, in some cases to quickly resell one of several ways for immediate cash profits; in other cases, to hold onto, without landlord headaches. My System can be your System – without the years of trial-and-error and expense that went into perfecting it…

In 1982, I was married, working as a car mechanic, with no money in the bank, an embarrassingly small paycheck, constantly telling my wife and kids “no” and feeling terrible about it. I was 35 years old, bankrupt, married for 17 years, with 4 kids, and clueless about what I wanted to do with my life – although I was pretty sure I didn’t want to fix cars in the hot Florida sun. (Sometimes even a good business providing a good income still feels like a bad job.

I talked with a lot of doctors, lawyers, contractors, restaurant owners, insurance sales agents, mortgage brokers who are doing just fine purely in income when they first meet me, but still feeling miserable about how hard they’re working or how they’re tied down and trapped by their businesses. I liberate them now, like I was once liberated.) I saw an ad that said, “Come learn how to buy real estate with no money and no credit.” I didn’t believe it, but went anyway. Within the next 3 weeks, I made $3,000 on a small real estate deal and I was no longer an auto mechanic. In a few short years I’d purchased over 400 houses, but I had as many headaches as I did dollars. That’s when I completely redesigned my approach to real estate, and went about being an ‘investor’ differently, and went about being a ‘quick-turn entrepreneur’ for immediate cash profits, too.

People started coming to me for advice, word got around, and almost of its own making, I wound up in the business of showing others how to do what I do – and what I do IS unique. It is a unique combination of marketing to attract deals, immediate cash profits, avoiding ordinary landlord problems, and rapidly accumulating wealth, a goodly portion of it tax-free. If that sounds complicated, it isn’t. Once you know the steps, it’ll be just as easy and natural for you to do as what you do now to make a living. By the way, you’ll be joining a 50-Billion Dollar Industry that’s more than 200 years old. It’s not what we’re doing anything totally new here. Instead, I’ve built a System for you on a rock-solid foundation.

So, today, my wife of 52 years, Beverly and I live in a beautiful home and 10 acres in Jacksonville, Florida. I indulge in my favorite hobby, fishing, with three or four trips a year, including my favorite, into the Alaskan wilderness. I do a lot of speaking – in fact, I address audiences of 200 to 20,000. I frequently find myself on programs with people like Dr. Phil, former U.S. Presidents, famous authors like Robert Kiosayki, ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad,’ even Donald Trump. I usually travel in my private jet – no “take off your belt and shoes” airport security lines for me! I don’t tell you ANY of that to brag, but to make two very important points for your benefit: one, if a dumb car mechanic can do this, why shouldn’t you? You definitely have more education and resources than I did when I started. And you have all my experience, buying some 400 houses “dumb ways,” 3,100+ the smart way; buying over $300-million of commercial property; 36 years; all compressed and condensed into a step-by-step System that I never had. Two, although I’m paid every week to speak, conduct seminars, and author books and courses, that’s NOT where the majority of my wealth came from or comes from. I do what I tell you to do. I still buy and “quick-turn” three or more ‘ordinary’ houses almost every month just to keep my hand in.

People constantly ask why I continue to teach, mentor, and actually work to find open-minded, ambitious people to give my system to. It’s hard for them to understand why a multi-millionaire real estate investor who could have retired rich and relaxed years ago keeps working with people who aren’t yet in his league. I know it even raised suspicion and skepticism. The answer is simple, really. Golf, scuba-diving, even fishing gets old quick if that’s all you do. Making millionaires never gets old to me. I truly enjoy sharing my System. And I’ll enjoy sharing it with you. You know, I think most people, including most businesspeople, try to get where they want to go by working harder. But I discovered it’s not how hard you work but what you work on. If hard work were the secret, nurses, ditch-diggers, soldiers risking their lives in war zones, maybe even one or two of your employees would have Warren Buffet or Bill Gates money. I’d really like to show you how to apply a comparatively little amount of your time, brain power and entrepreneurial energy to something that can and will yield huge results.

It's TAX TIME! So much has changed in the last 24 months when it comes to tax law and planning....you asked and we are bringing a great speaker for you!

Shahar Plinner of GLP Accounting works with lots of investors. He will be discussing current tax strategies, entity structures, capital gains, tax planning, etc. There will be lots of Q&A so make sure you bring your questions.

Why you need to be at this meeting:

• If you want to hear about best tax planning and strategies specifically design for the real-estate industry
• If you think that you pay more taxes than you should
• If you heard your CPA talk about LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp and didn't know what it means
• What will be the few things that you should know before you start your own Real-Estate business
