In 2024 she began a unique real estate investing and development company focused on green initiatives in rehab projects and new builds.
A portion of her expertise is in wholesaling lease options; assigning terms contracts instead of the standard cash deal. Sharyn negotiates lease option agreements with motivated home sellers and then assigns the contract to an end retail buyer. She is also in the midst of building her rental portfolio, utilizing seller finance.
She is a licensed Realtor in NJ and PA and prides herself in offering multiple solutions to sellers and buying either cash for a quick closing, on terms for the maximum net price, or staging and listing the house to offer to regular retail buyers.

A Meeting for All You Wealth-Builders (Who Also Have Jobs to Deal With)
Here at SJREIA, our mission is to meet you where you are, and give you the resources to take you where you want to go.
For many members, "where you are" is trying to build enough passive income to retire (maybe even early?) while dealing with the demands of a full-time job.
So at this meeting, we're getting advice from an "ender" who has already built that wealth, WHILE working, and who has a lot of really relevant tips and experience to share with the rest of us.
TOPIC: How to Borrow All the Money You Want from Banks (and Have Them Begging You to Take More) with Robert Mohon PHP 1.5 hours finance
Face it: banks are DEFINITELY the best source of long-term, fixed rate financing for assets today.
Whether you’re a starter, estate builder, or ender, you need to hear what long-time landlord and “Professional Bank Customer” Robert Mohon knows about borrowing, building credit, and building wealth. Unlike most investors, he’s actually bothered to learn about the inner workings of the banking system, and the tips and tricks he discovered have let him (easily) borrow skads of money to build his portfolio.
Robert has valuable insight to share about:
Robert built a portfolio of single-family homes that now support him completely, using no private money or creative financing whatsoever—just his hard-won knowledge about banking and credit. Bring your borrowing and credit questions, and make real life application of this knowledge in your life today.

Learn how Novations can unlock new opportunities for wholesalers, making it easier to increase profits, expand reach, and scale efficiently
Briana Heino, President/CEO - HEI Property Investments, LLC
www.brianabuyshomes.com Office:(908) 503-5511 | Cell:(609) 592-3600
1. Access to Retail Buyers for Higher Profits
Novations allow wholesalers to sell properties to retail buyers, often achieving closer-to-market prices rather than the deep discounts required by cash buyers. This expands the potential buyer pool and increases profits on each deal.
2. Lowering Dependence on Cash Buyers
Unlike traditional wholesaling, novations aren’t restricted to cash buyers or investors. This
reduces the reliance on a limited pool of buyers and helps smooth out deal flow, especially in competitive or fluctuating markets.
3. Increased Deal Volume Through Multiple Exit Strategies
Novations provide an additional exit strategy for wholesalers by allowing them to assign contracts to retail buyers, increasing flexibility and enabling them to do more deals
simultaneously.
4. Better Solutions for Sellers
Novations give sellers the ability to receive more competitive offers, especially in situations where they don’t need a quick cash sale. This positions the wholesaler as a more attractive option for homeowners who want to sell but are seeking market value.
5. Reducing Capital Needs for Business Growth
Because novations allow wholesalers to operate without taking full ownership of properties, they don’t need to invest large amounts of capital into renovations or closing costs. This creates a more capital-efficient model that supports scaling.
6. Leveraging Conventional Financing
By structuring deals so that retail buyers can use conventional financing (e.g., FHA, VA, or traditional loans), wholesalers can increase the number of qualified buyers, leading to faster sales and more deal closures.
7. Minimizing Risk with Flexible Contract Options
Novation agreements replace the original purchase agreement between the wholesaler and the seller with a new agreement between the seller and the retail buyer. This reduces the wholesaler’s liability while ensuring the deal moves forward, allowing more rapid scaling with reduced risk.
8. Expanding into New Markets
Because novation allows access to retail buyers who don’t need to rely on cash, wholesalers can enter and scale into new markets where traditional investors may not be as active, broadening their geographic reach.
9. Building Stronger Relationships with Agents and Brokers
Novations often involve retail buyers, who usually work through real estate agents. Wholesalers can develop relationships with agents and brokers to source more leads and create a collaborative network for scaling their business.
10. Scaling Without the Need for Full Renovations
In a novation deal, wholesalers can market properties in their as-is condition and still sell them to retail buyers. This eliminates the need for costly rehab projects, shortening the sales cycle and enabling faster scaling through more transactions.
BIO - I am a real estate investor with a primary focus of wholesaling real estate. I own 2 companies, 1 for acquisitions and 1 for dispositions. Since I began wholesaling, my companies have closed 100+ deals including, creative finance, novations, double closings & more!
