Tampa REIA – June 8th
at the Doubletree Suites Tampa Bay
Creating Quick Cash & Long Term Cash Flow by Buying Notes Without Your Own Cash or Cred
With Special Guest, Donna Bauer

Tampa REIA Members Can Attend for no charge.
Guests Can RSVP Online Now for $15 or Pay $20 at the Door.

Donna BauerWe are excited to announce that Donna Bauer will be our special guest trainer this month at Tampa REIA on Monday, June 8th at 6:00 PM at the 3050 North Rocky Point Dr West in Tampa, FL. Whether you are a conservative investor or a risk taker, buying notes puts you in control of your real estate transactions and your personal wealth planning.

Donna Bauer, nationally known as The Original NoteBuyer®, is one of the nation’s most recognized subject matter experts on Discounted Notes, Seller Financing, and Distressed Mortgages. For over two decades, Donna’s exclusive strategies have produced stunning results regardless of economic conditions.

As thousands of successful investors have discovered, Donna’s approach to real estate investing is brilliantly suited to today’s unique market and the shift toward alternative forms of financing.

During her 90 minute presentation, Donna will teach you how to…

  • Create quick cash and long term cash flow with 3 Basic Note Buying Strategies—WITHOUT your own cash or cred
  • Evaluate 4 critical areas before buying a note
  • Create an ‘ultra safe’ deal, even in a down market
  • Buy ‘part of a note’ for super high returns and safety
  • Create SMART seller financing for maximum cash out later
  • Buy and sell properties WITHOUT ever needing a bank

Plus, you’ll learn how to:

  • Use defaulted bank loans as a backdoor to acquiring properties well below market value
  • Use defaulted bank loans to create super high yields by modifying the mortgage and allowing the homeowner to stay in the house — a real win/win!

Donna will be quick to tell you that in her life time, she has never seen so many amazing opportunities with notes. With deals galore in the market place and bank financing hard to come by, seller financed notes have once again become the rage. This creates an awesome opportunity in the secondary market to make huge profits without all of the hassles of the proverbial “tenants, trash and toilets,” not to mention without using your own cash or cred. There’s no doubt, buying and selling other people’s seller-financed notes is the quickest, easiest, safest way to CASH IN on today’s fantastic real estate market!

Donna began her note buying career over 25 years ago in search of a vehicle that would offer her financial security without sacrificing cherished time with her four children. Working from her dining room table, as she began closing discounted note deals across the country, she realized that she had found a gold mine! Now, with well over a thousand deals under her belt, her peers consider her to be the foremost subject matter expert on note buying, while her students acclaim her as being a gifted, inspiring mentor.

If you are serious about building wealth in today’s real estate market, you don’t want to miss this presentation! RSVP Now!

Getting Down & Dirty
with Filthy Riches Houses
With Special Guest, Larry Goins

Tampa REIA Members Can Attend for no charge.
Guests Can RSVP Online Now for $15 or Pay $20 at the Door.

Larry GoinsDid you know that there are $5,000 houses out there that you can literally sell for 3-6 times that amount? When we first heard how Larry Goins was buying dirt cheap houses that no one else wants for $5,000 or less and selling them for $30,000 without a buyers list, cash or credit, we just had to get him here to teach you how he does it.

Come join us at Tampa REIA on Thursday, April 13th at 6PM at the Doubletree Suites Tampa Bay located at 3050 North Rocky Point Dr West in Tampa, FL where Larry Goins is going to teach us a strategy to buy houses for $5,000 that nobody else wants and make more money from them than most investors make from a $100,000 properties.

In fact, with his strategy, Larry has discovered that most properties in the $100k range will NEVER create the margin of profit like you can from a $5k house. And hey, can everyone afford a $5,000 house?

The great thing about Larry is he only focuses on tactics that require little cash or credit and that require no previous real estate experience. Not just that, but his strategy can be done completely from the comfort of your home office, aka “virtual investing”.

He calls it his “Filthy Riches” strategy and at the meeting he will share how these types of deals work and how much you can really make. Everything will be revealed at our upcoming meeting, so members and guests, please RSVP NOW!

Tampa REIA Members Please RSVP on Meetup.com
Tampa REIA Members Please RSVP on Meetup.com

Leslie MathisPlease be sure to join us at the Beginning Investors Group Online on Wednesday, March 22nd at 7:00PM ET with Leslie Mathis and learn all about how creative deal structuring can help you generate more profits for your real estate investing business.

When you find a seller with a real estate problem that you can’t solve by buying for cash at a discount, Creative Deal Structuring gives you many more tools in your toolbox for you to solve their problem…giving YOU more ways to PROFIT! Leslie will share with you those tools.

You’ll learn:

  • 4 Different Deal Structures
  • What you must get from your motivated sellers to structure deals that will solve their problems
  • 3 Ways You Can Make A Profit Using Creative Deal Structures
  • And answers to your questions and much more!

Leslie began her real estate career when she found herself broke and living in her parents garage after following the traditional path of “get a degree (she got two), get a job, and live the American Dream” failed her. With no money and no cred, she had to find a way out of her situation.

When she was introduced to buying real estate without using her own money or cred, she embraced Creative Deal Structuring with a passion and was able to leave her job shortly thereafter. Leslie has never looked back, using Creative Deal Structuring to build economic independence for herself. She wants you to know that you can do it too!

Tenant Management
Change Your Paradigm & Change Your Results!
With Special Guest, David Tilney

Tampa REIA Members Can Attend for no charge.
Guests Can RSVP Online Now for $15 or Pay $20 at the Door.

David TilneyMention the words landlord and tenant in the same sentence and most people think of conflict. David Tilney wants to rewire your brain and change that thinking. He has been managing property and tenants since 1978 and believes that landlords and tenants can cooperate to achieve more benefits for both parties. David believes that his tenants are his greatest assets and that managing rentals is the lazy man’s way to play the real estate game.

Come listen to a different point of view from a landlord who loves what he does. Come join us at Tampa REIA on Thursday, March 9th at 6PM at the Doubletree Suites Tampa Bay located at 3050 North Rocky Point Dr West in Tampa, FL where David Tilney will share tools to help you avoid landlord burnout. David will turn the traditional view of property management upside down and do his best to convince you that tenants are not a necessary evil.

David Tilney graduated from the University of Denver in 1973 with a degree in psychology. He started investing in rental property in 1978 and has been managing property since 1980. David enjoys his landlord – tenant relationships and has spent 26 years teaching other landlords how to become better landlords and to avoid burnout. Please come meet David and the meeting and allow him to share his many years of experience with you!

David Tilney

Posted on February 27, 2017 by

David TilneyDavid Tilney began investing in real estate in 1978. He began managing properties when he couldn’t find a competent company to manage his own rental portfolio. Over the years, David has invested in rentals, notes, foreclosures, tax sales, IRS liens and leasehold interests. David has become the “go to” guy for management of single-family homes and loves being a landlord. He looks forward to hearing from his tenants, but often feels like the repairman in the old Maytag appliance commercial who rarely gets a call.

David and Mary, his wife of 43 years, reside in Naples FL and spend summers in Colorado Springs. They manage their portfolio of rental houses from wherever they are without employees. Their three daughters and their husbands (who have blessed them with 8 grandchildren) have also invested in rental property. David believes that owning rentals is not a get rich quick scheme, but an investment that can sustain you when you choose to retire or can no longer work and continue to provide for your heirs when you have passed on.
