2020-01-21 19:30 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Embassy Suites, 201 Harrison Oaks, Cary, NC, 27513
Everyone knows that wholesaling is the quickest and easiest way to put cash in your pocket in the real estate business.
The problem is, most people don’t actually understand how to do wholesale deals when the market changes, like it’s doing right now.
A buyer’s market is good in some ways (more cheap properties available, and less competition) and bad in others (fewer buyers for your deals)—but when you know what to do, they can be the best markets of your life!
Vena Jones-Cox knows, because she’s made millions of dollars wholesaling houses in hard in hot markets and cold. She’ll share her best in-the-trenches experience with us at our September 8th meeting.

Repair for Equity: The OTHER Way to Make Money with Ugly Houses
2020-06-27 09:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York)
The OTHER Way to Make Money with Ugly Houses
(Without fixing, managing, maintaining, or stressing over them)
(While getting crazy-high returns, monthly paychecks, AND doing good in your community)
One-time live (online) class, June 27th 9 a.m.-1 p.m.
Have you heard of “Repair for Equity” deals?
Geez, I hope so, because they’re:

More profitable than wholesale deals
A LOT easier than retail deals
Give you a higher return than rentals, with a whole lot less management, expense, and drama
HIGHLY in demand, hard for your customers who want them to find, and make you feel good about changing people’s entire financial futures for the better, while at the same time collecting ‘mailbox money’
And if you do them right, they’re money-makers even when they “go wrong” (and can you say that about YOUR exit strategy?)

Here’s the 20,000 foot view of how Repair for Equity works:

You get hold of a property that’s ‘ugly but livable’. You can pay cash for it, or get a partner, or a private loan, or seller financing. Doesn’t matter, as long as you have the title.

You advertise that you’ll sell it, on payments, to someone who’s qualified to make the improvements, at a price that’s a lot more than what you paid for it, but a lot less than it’s worth fixed up.

Hundreds of people contact you because they want it (no, I’m not exaggerating—my last repair for equity deal generated over 110 phone calls from 4 bandit signs and 1 craigslist ad).

You pick the best, most qualified buyer

You sign some documents (which ones depend on where you live and some other factors, but they all basically say to the buyer, “You’re fixing it, and you’re gonna own it if you make all your payments).

You sit back and collect passive returns that are so high I’m afraid to mention them because you won’t believe them until I prove them to you (Ok, fine, they’re 25% to infinity) for, oh, 7-20 years.

Your buyer—who would otherwise be wasting money on rent—builds equity by doing the work, paying down the balance, and getting the benefit of appreciation, thus changing his or her family’s

OK, I love it already. Sign me up.

At This Point, You Should Have Some Questions:
Like:

What, exactly, is “Ugly But Livable”, and how will I know when I’ve found the right property?
What should I PAY for that property?
How do I decide what the terms of the sale are? What’s the right balance between getting the most I can and creating a deal that attracts the right applicants fast, and is a good deal for them?
Advertise it HOW? Where? What should the ads look like?
Advertise it HOW? Where? What should the ads look like?
How in the world am I going to handle hundreds of calls from potential buyers without going nuts?
What’s “qualified” when it comes to these buyers?
What ARE the documents? What’s in them? Do they have to be recorded, or not?
What happens if they DON’T fix the property?
What if they move out, or stop making payments?
What about Dodd-Frank? Don’t I have to ‘comply’ with that? How do I do that?

Yep, all good questions—and I’m going to answer them all on June 27th in my first (and last) ever Real Estate Goddess’s Guide to Making Big Money (and a Big Difference) with Repair for Equity deals.

I’m Convinced! Shut Up and Sign Me Up!

I’ve Done HUNDREDS of These Deals
(and Made at Least $1 Million at it)
So I Know When, Where, and How They Work…
And my very first one was when I was a baby investor, with zero experience and zero money and zero credit, so don’t tell me they’re too hard for YOU to do.
In the (gasp) 3 decades I’ve been selling Repair for Equity deals, I’ve learned:

That the more ‘iffy’ the economy looks, the more popular they are (and, as a bonus, the easier the deals are to acquire in the first place)
Single. Thing. That can go wrong—and that most of those things are completely avoidable if you set the deal up right to start with
That the exact condition of house, and the neighborhood it’s in, are crucially important in the success of the deal
That big checks from wholesaling and retailing are nice, but that little, less-taxed checks for years on end from the same property even nicer
That there are certain details I’ve NEVER heard anyone talk about in discussing these deals—like setting up your advertising and phone system to funnel down the hundreds of calls to the dozens of qualified applicants in a way where you’re not on the phone all day every day, and like not putting the wrong people into your properties, and like making doubly sure that your buyers completely understand, and put IN WRITING that they completely understand the deal before you turn over the keys—that make everything about doing them easier, and more likely to succeed in the long run
That if I decide I’m sick of payments and want cash instead, it’s super-easy to sell the deal I created to another investor, cash out, and move on

I suspect that I’ve done more of these deals successfully than any other investor on the planet.
And now, I’m ready to share everything I know about them, so that you can add them to YOUR strategy toolbox, too.

Yep, I wanna know all that. Sign me Up!

Here’s What You’ll Get When You Attend
Real Estate Goddess’s Guide to Making Big Money (and a Big Difference)
with Repair for Equity deals
Online On June 27th:

Exhaustively detailed instruction on:

What to buy
Where to buy it
What to pay for it
What to CHARGE for it
How to advertise it
How to qualify applicants
What paperwork to use

And if you know me, you know I tell you how to avoid the pitfalls, too, so we’ll talk about:

How deals go wrong, and what to do about it
How to comply with Dodd-Frank and other applicable rules and laws
How to avoid ever having to do an expensive, heart-rending foreclosure on a buyer

Plus, you’ll get ALL the forms and documents you need, including:

The exact ad and bandit sign wording I use to generate all those calls
The exact script I use with potential buyers to minimize wasted time and get deals sold fast
The application that all buyers must fill out
The “buyer qualification criteria” I use to OBJECTIVELY pick the right person
The disclosure that all buyers must sign to prove that they really understand what they’re agreeing to
The contracts I use to seal the deal—there are 3 of them, and which you’ll use depends on where you live and some other things that I’ll explain in the class

Holy Cow, I Definitely Need All That! Sign Me Up!

If You Knew This Strategy, You’d Be Making More Money RIGHT NOW.
So Sign Up RIGHT NOW
(It’s Cheap, and If You Don’t Love It, You’ll Get Your Money Back Anyway)
Look, ONE typical Repair for Equity Deal pays me $500-$2,000 up front, and $350-$500 NET every month for a decade or more.
So paying $697 to learn all about it, AND get all the forms and documents that it’s taken me 30 years to perfect, shouldn’t be a big barrier to you.
(If there’s a blessing in this whole pandemic thing, it’s that not having to rent hotel rooms and buy you coffee makes it a lot cheaper for me to DELIVER classes, and a lot cheaper for you to TAKE them)
When you’re done with this class, you will have all the knowledge and tools you need implement this incredibly powerful exit strategy…
And if you don’t agree, I’ll refund 100% of your investment.
Here’s Why I’m Limiting the Size of This Class
(and a bonus for signing up NOW)
I’ve done a lot of this longer, online classes in the past few months, and I’ve discovered something: in answer all the questions you’ll likely have, but also not overrun the allotted time by hours, we HAVE to limit the class size.
So I’m going to skim off the folks who are MOST serious and MOST recognize the value of this strategy—both to your bank account and to your COMMUNITY—and get you to sign up first. Here’s how:
Sign Up Now, and Get $200 off. The first 50 people who register get to pay just $497*, which as I write it down seems crazy for all this information, but there it is.
Express Success Members, use your coupon code and get ANOTHER 10% off
Yes, It Will Be Recorded.
Yes, You’ll Have Access to the Recordings Forever.
Yes, It Comes with a Compete, Detailed Manual
You can expect all the no B.S., no-hype, honest, detailed training that I always provide…and I’m speaking from experience when I say that knowing this strategy will
Let you do more of the deals that you’re already seeing
Put a metric boatload of money in your bank account
Create returns that NO other strategy does
Make you feel good about giving the people who normally CAN’T be homeowners in your community the chance to build equity and wealth for their families
So, whaddya waitin’ for? Grab your seat today!

Vena takes your money-making ability to the next level in this detailed-packed workshop.
How to Build a Wholesaling Business: Do More Deals Easily
To truly get out of the “rat race”, you need a plan that goes beyond the basics of “find a deal, sell a deal” and allows you to expand and systematize your business so that you can work with more buyers and sellers, and delegate some of your work to others.
In this morning workshop, you’ll discover:

Why wholesalers who systemize make 10 times the money of those who don’t
Why working with more kinds of sellers makes you more money, and how to wholesale properties from banks and other sellers who want to make your contract “non-assignable”
Which tasks you can probably delegate right now, cheaply, to virtual assistants

How to Find Great Deals in a Sellers Market
Join us after the morning break, and find out:

Exactly what makes marketing “work” and gets you the highest profit for the lowest outlay of money

How to develop strong marketing messages that make sellers want to call you (when you see how Vena creates her messages, you’ll understand why yours aren’t working as well as they should)
Why a lot of what you “know” about marketing in the real estate business is wrong
How to get 5-10% response rates for your letters, postcards, and other direct mail

The Complete Guide to Buying Properties “Subject To” With Vena Jones-Cox
2021-02-27 09:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | ONLINE
February 27th ONLINE
How would your life be different if you could buy real estate with zero qualifying, little or no money down, with long-term, fixed rate financing that gave you the chance to hold properties for rental, or lease/option them, or otherwise build long-term wealth and income?
Buying properties “Subject to the Existing Loan” lets you do exactly that—but they can also go massively wrong if you don’t know EXACTLY how to evaluate, document, and follow through with the deal. In this incredibly detailed and thorough workshop, you’ll learn:

What a subject to deal is, and how to get one done from the first call with the seller to closing
Which sellers are willing to sell to you subject to their loan, and how to find them
What to say to sellers to convince them to work with you
Which sellers you should NEVER buy from subject to their loan—you can literally ruin their lives or yours if you’re not careful
How to figure out what you can pay for a property when the seller lets you take over his loan—it’s a different, more complex calculation than when you’re paying cash
Why the Due on Sale clause isn’t that big a concern
How to protect your seller from YOUR default: this technique alone will convince more sellers to do subject to deals with you, and I guarantee you don’t already know it
Why you need to provide written disclosures to your sellers about what’s happening, and the very bad thing that happens a LOT if you don’t
How to write a subject to offer
How to insure properties you buy subject to. There’s a lot of misinformation out there about this, and if you’re not insured right, you can literally lose hundreds of thousands of dollars
What documentation you need at the closing to protect yourself AFTER the closing
All the things that ever go wrong with deals and how to avoid them
Examples of profitable exit strategies that you can implement once you get your deal

This Class Gives You EVERYTHING You Need to Buy Properties Subject To…
There’s nothing else to buy; you get ALL of this with your tuition!
A complete manual explaining everything about subject to deals
All of the forms and contracts you’ll need to successfully implement this finance strategy, including:

Purchase agreement with sub to language
Seller interview form
“How much can I pay” worksheet
Detailed disclosure to the seller (this alone is worth the entire cost of the class)
The 4 other forms you must have at the closing
…and YES, Recordings of the class

In this 3-hour online bonus workshop, Vena takes you to the next level in your wholesaling efforts, by peeling back the curtain and showing you the real from-the-trenches secrets of a 6 figure wholesaling business—that gets even BETTER in a buyer’s market.

Things to do and traps to avoid to get your next payday in the next 30 days

How to Comfortably, Successfully Negotiate with Sellers with Vena Jones-Cox
2021-05-22 09:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | Zoom
Online May 22nd 9 a.m.—3 p.m. eastern
If you think that seller negotiation is about dickering over price, we guarantee that you’re not doing anything LIKE the number of deals you should be.
Our members who are doing lots of deals—whether those are cash deals, seller financing deals, or BOTH—know some things that you maybe don’t, like:

How to ask questions that get the seller to reveal their REAL problem, so that you can solve that instead of getting into a bidding war with competitors that you don’t really WANT to win
How to comfortably ask questions like, “What do you owe?” and “Are your payments cur- rent?” and “What do you plan to do with that money?” which are all super-important in figur- ing out HOW you’ll make your offer (and in getting it accepted!)
How to build real rapport with sellers, so that when they say “No” now, they’ll say “Yes” later
How to deal with sellers who ask questions that you don’t know the answer to, without feeling like an idiot

How to get with your OWN fear that you’ll make an offer you can’t perform on, ‘cause it’s stopping you from making offers…

100% satisfaction guarantee–you’ll be glad you came, or your money back!

Creative Deal School
2021-12-01 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York)
An 8-Session Series of FREE Online Workshops to Hone Your Creative Deal Structuring Skills
Wednesday Nights 7-8:30
December 1st 2021 – January 26th, 2022
If you’re a fan of creative finance deals (and if you’re not, what’s wrong with you?? They’re awesome!!) and you’re always looking for ways to hone your understanding and abilities, you’ll love this free series of online workshops with mega-creative investors Vena Jones-Cox and Bill Cook.
It’s 8 sessions (no workshop on the Wednesday between Christmas and New Year’s Day) that each dig into one important benefit, skill, or aspect of making creative deals.
And did we mention it’s free?
This link registers you for the entire series; if you miss a week, it’s OK because we’ll send all registered attendees a link to the recording to add to your personal deal structuring library.
But you should attend “live” if you can, both because that’s your chance to ask all your questions and because each week we’ll draw from the list of people who are actually THERE and give away a prize…
No matter what, you should register, because you’ll get more of both the big picture of how creative deals work AND detailed instructions about the best ways to find, negotiate, evaluate, and close lots of kinds of creative deals.
Here’s the Week by Week Agenda:
Wednesday, December 1st: How to do 10 deals this year with no banks No theory here—it’s an actual walkthrough of how Vena added 10 properties and notes to her portfolio (including a cool new personal residence) using subject to, lease/options, owner financing, private loans, and wrap mortgages in 12 months. Guaranteed to make you see that you’re walking away from deals that you could make a ton of money on, and to inspire you to go back to those old leads and try again with your new knowledge.
Door prize drawing from names of attendees on actually ON zoom: Vena’s complete “How to Do Subject To” course. Must be present to win.
Wednesday, December 8th: The Missing Piece in Your Seller-Finance Negotiations—How and Why to Use a T-Bar When You Talk to Sellers. You don’t need to “convince” sellers to do creative deals, or “talk them into” it: you need to understand what their pain points are, and then graphically show them how they’ll be better off taking your offer. That’s called a T-bar, and we’ll show you how to use it and WHY you should use it, every time.
Door prize drawing from names of attendees on actually ON zoom: Vena’s full “How to Negotiate with Sellers Successfully” online course. Must be present to win.
Wednesday, December 15th: How to pick the right seller finance strategy for any property One of the struggles in constructing creative deals is knowing WHICH tool—subject to, seller-carryback mortgage, lease/option, private loan, partnership, option—to pull out for a particular situation. In this session, we’ll not only show you how to narrow down you many choice to the right one, but also give every live attendee a flow chart that makes it easy.
Door prize drawing from names of attendees on actually ON zoom: Bill’s How to Knock on Homeowner’s Doors and Make Written Offers. Must be present to win.
Wednesday, December 22nd: It’s a creative deal, but is it a GOOD deal? Not necessarily: even no money down, no qualifying deals can be alligators that will eat you alive if you buy them. We’ll walk through the full evaluation of the NUMBERS of a property, so that you can do this right before you make a mistake, and give all attendees a worksheet that reminds you what numbers you need to make the right deals.
Door prize drawing from names of attendees on actually ON zoom: Bill’s Financial Calculator course. Must be present to win.
(Note—there will be no class on Wednesday December 29th)
Wednesday, January 5th: 5 ways to structure deals with private lenders and partners. Not every seller can, or will, finance deals for you; that’s when you bring in people with money. If you’re doing that CREATIVELY, you’re not paying hard money rates, or splitting deals 50/50, but you’re still leaving your ‘money person’ happy, satisfied, and wanting to do business again. We’ll also discuss how to FIND private lenders and partners.
Door prize drawing from names of attendees on actually ON zoom: Vena’s “How to Be a Successful Private Lender” course. Must be present to win.
Wednesday, January 12: How to make a small IRA, 401K, Health Savings Account, or CESA into a big one with creative finance deals. The only thing better than doing creative deals is doing creative, TAX FREE deals. The problem is, most of us don’t have enough cash in those plans to buy whole houses…which makes creative financing the perfect way to take a little bit of money and turn it into a lot.
Door prize drawing from names of attendees on actually ON zoom: Vena’s “How to Get High Returns on Ugly Houses with Repair for Equity Deals” course. Must be present to win.
Wednesday, January 19th: What to do before you get the deed. Sloppy due diligence, paperwork, and disclosures are the #1 thing that make creative deals go bad, sometimes YEARS after the fact. So let’s go through the checklist of what you need to do after you’ve gotten the contract, but before you close, so that your new investment stays a good one years or decades later.

Wednesday, January 26th: Bill and Vena fight over the best way to talk to sellers about creative deals. By now you will have realized that Bill and Vena have very different approaches to doing deals, and that this difference in styles is what gives you the chance to see what fits best for you. “Negotiation” of creative deals with sellers is no exception: Bill’s a face-to-face guy, where Vena likes nailing down the deal on the phone. Bill likes to chat for hours, where Vena thinks that sellers don’t want to be asked about their deceased pets. In this session, they’ll lay out their processes and make their arguments for why their way is the right way, so that you can make your own decision that Vena is right.
Door prize drawn from ALL REGISTRANTS (you don’t need to be present to win: a free pass for 2 to the Ultimate Creative Deal Structuring Workshop, February 4th-6th in Tampa, AND 2 free nights at the event hotel.

The Ultimate Creative Deal Structuring Workshop
2022-02-04 - 2022-02-06 | Marriott Tampa Westshore, 1001 N. Westshore Blvd, Tampa, OH, 33607, United States
2022 will be filled with challenging situations, and your skills in structuring creative deals is key both to your ability to buy properties that give you long term wealth and income, AND to helping desperate sellers who NEED to get rid of a property but can’t sell it conventionally. The more you know about the strategies for buying properties without banks, and about how to figure out which one is best for a given seller and situation, and about how to talk to sellers about these offers, the more deals you’ll do and the more money you’ll make.
So, over the course of 3 days, we’re presenting the ultimate workshop on how to put together deals that make you lots of money and also solve sellers’ problems, with 2 of the most experienced creative finance practitioners in the country–Vena Jones-Cox and Bill Cook.
You’ll:

Learn the basics of the key ‘creative finance’ strategies: subject to, lease/options, options, and seller-carryback mortgages
Find out how to keep the deals you make for long-term benefits, or ethically ‘flip’ them for quick cash
Walk through the logic of the structures of real deals
Get all the forms and contracts FROM those deal (worth 10x the cost of the workshop all by themselves…)
Work in small (online) groups with other attendees to come up with creative structures for sample deals
See how you can use other people’s money and knowledge to complete deals that seem impossible
Discover how you can own more investment properties than you ever thought possible, even if you have ZERO money or credit
Learn to think through the ‘gotchas’ and curveballs and put together deals that 99% of your competitors can’t!

This workshop is unlike anything you’ve done before—it’s not some dry, boring recitation of basics. It’s a hands-on, learn-by-example, get-your-gears-going, life-changing experience!
When you’re done, you’ll understand why and how to put together more creative deals than you do right now, or your money back!
