The Art of the Deal

I am attending a seminar -"The Art of the Deal" in Reno this weekend with Jack Miller and Peter Fortunato presenting - two of the more creative minds in real estate investing will share how to create profits through the use of seller involved concepts (AKA creative financing) that will enable investors to buy, sell, manage, and trade properties without cash or credit. I have not seen them present before, but most of the heavy hitters that I know including many of our speakers have been trained by these guys. It is $330 for SJREI members to attend-not a sizable sum for three days training - it should be worth the time. I will update you with a post next week on how it goes.

People spend thousands of dollars on seminars and do not use the information or are subjected to other "sales presentation" at the seminars which is all about increasing gross revenues. A lot of investors that I know are attending this one, so in addition to valuable information being shared at the seminar, it will be a great opportunity to network. I often find the information that I learn from other attendees is sometimes more useful than the actual presentation...Be leery of spending large sums of money on real estate education - there is lots of great material available at your local library.

Hi Geraldine, it will be interesting to see how that seminar goes. Reno is going through a wave of foreclosures, but things seem to be beginning to bottom out in the lower end, though this next fall/winter should really be telling. The high end is performing badly and is set for a big fall, IMHO. We have a half dozen investors who regularly show up on the county steps to buy trust deeds, so they've got something dialed in and are working it.

Jack Miller lives (in the winter) a few blocks from my home in Tampa. Pete lives across the bay in Madeira Beach. Have seen them talk many times. Truly creative minds minus the hype. You won't be disappointed.
