Living on Borrowed Time.....With Michael MorrongielloWHEN and WHERE:
July 17th (Wednesday) at 6:30 PM. Aloft Mountain View (Address: 840 E El Camino Real, Mountain View, CA 94040)

******************************************************************

Join us for an engaging discussion on the current real estate landscape:

Real Estate Prices have surged by up to 50% since 2020. Are we on borrowed time?

Why are big investors shifting away from real estate in 2024, and what's their next move?

Forget buy-and-hold real estate—high prices + high interest rates = little to no cash flow.

Meanwhile, rents are dropping in many areas.

Stocks hit record highs, but Warren Buffett warns of overvaluation.

Considering precious metals, oil, gas, or crypto? Controlling outcomes is tough.

At this meeting, you'll discover:

- A strategy for safe, double-digit cash flow in this heated market.

- Steps to protect yourself and your investments.

- The enduring principles of real estate investing today.

- How high home prices, interest rates, and declining rents will shape the future.

- Which sectors will feel the biggest impact.

- Essential rules for property investors.

Join us for insights and a lively discussion!

Here is your chance to meet Don Costa, who built a Systems-Driven Real Estate Business that does well over 100 rehabs/wholesales a year without even seeing the houses. And yes, he is in California and even does deals in the Bay Area!
Don specializes in direct mail, creating efficient business systems, and building a world-class organization.
In his presentation, Don will show you how to:
• Optimize your direct mail campaign, no matter what your budget is
• Build systems that work for you so that you can focus on more important things such as higher-level business growth and spending time with family
• Start from scratch, even with Zero money, like Don himself did in 2012 when he was dead broke.
You won’t find many people playing at Don’s level, so don’t miss this opportunity to get tips and tricks from one of the best!

About the speaker:
Don is an entrepreneur to the core and loves making deals. As a real estate rehab and investment expert, he purchases distressed houses, conducts quality renovations, and sells turn-key homes and shares all his knowledge as the host of the popular Flip Talk Podcast. He absolutely loves what he does because real estate investing and his entrepreneurial journey has given him a purpose-driven life, as well as the time and freedom to enjoy his passions, his purpose, and his children. Real estate investing has genuinely changed Don’s life for the better, which is why it is his mission to help others do the same and grow their real estate business as the guy that gives “real talk for real estate investors.” He attributes much of his success to being surrounded by the best people in the business, which is why he founded the Inner Circle Elite mastermind, to create that community for others.
Don’s “whys” run deep. The foundation of who he is is built by his desire to change and impact the lives of his children and the people around him. He has come from nothing, built, and lost everything, and rebuilt it again. This hard-earned wisdom is to help others avoid making the same mistakes he’s already made. His tenacity and passion stem from wanting to create wealth and a life he never had for his three amazing children and wife for 18 years.
