How You Can Too &
Avoid the “Losing” Part!

With Special Guest, Roger Blankenship

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

Roger BlankenshipWe have a special treat for our first meeting for 2018! Mark your calendar for the Tampa REIA Main Monthly Event on Thursday, January 11th from 5PM at the Doubletree Suites Tampa Bay, 3050 North Rocky Point Dr West in Tampa, FL with our special guest, Roger Blankenship.

At the meeting, Roger will tell his story of how he started investing in 2002 out of curiosity, then became a full-time investor in 2006 out of desperation, made millions, lost it all and then re-made it again. Along the way he learned several lessons about real estate, business, and life. He shares them with you in a unique mix of candor, humor, practical insights, and actionable steps.

Roger is going to tell you how you can make $5000 in the next 30 days, even if you have never done a deal before. Perhaps you’ve ventured into real estate investing only to get hit with roadblocks you can’t get around. Analysis takes knowledge. Deals take money. Pulling the trigger requires a special kind of courage that can only come when you combine the right ingredients for success.

Roger knows the ingredients and he knows how to combine them for success. He will tell you, having done over 800+ deals, he’s made just about every mistake in the book, but he kept a good list of those mistakes so you can avoid them!

Come join us at Tampa REIA and spend an unforgettable evening hearing Roger’s roller coaster ride to real estate prosperity!

Tampa REIA Presents…
FlipStarter
A One Day Speed Course
on Flipping Houses
with Roger Blankenship
Saturday, January 20th from 9AM–5PM
*Doubletree Suites Tampa Bay
3050 North Rocky Point Dr West, Tampa, FL

Roger BlankenshipHow would you like to have the entire system and framework for fixing and flipping houses in just 6 and one-half hours? How about if the trainer not only tells you about their success, but also their mistakes and failures so you don’t repeat them?

If so, be sure to REGISTER TODAY for FlipStarter on Saturday, January 20th at 9AM with Roger Blankenship at the Doubletree Suites Tampa Bay located at 3050 North Rocky Point Dr West in Tampa, FL.

FlipStarter is a One Day Speed Course in Flipping Houses. Roger Blankenship, host of Flipping America, a syndicated radio show and podcast with over 2 million listeners per month, is going to share with you many of the secrets to his success. His unique promise for this day is three-fold:

  1. You WILL NOT learn everything you need to know in one day.
  2. You WILL learn the basics of doing your own fix and flip. With your energy and commitment to continued learning, you’ll be able to take this information and get started making money right away.
  3. There will be several sessions during the day. Each one of them is worth the full admission price.

What makes this FlipStarter Workshop different?

  • You don’t have to start with wholesaling and then hopefully graduate to fixing and flipping. You can START making the big money right away!
  • Don’t have the money to fix and flip? Roger will show you how to get 100% deal funding!
  • Skeptical that any course could give you all you need? Roger agrees, which is why his program comes with a Mentor at no additional up-front cost.
  • Roger will show you how he grew his part-time hobby into a full-blown business, flipping 100+ houses per year.
  • You have one of the most experienced investors in America providing knowledge and insight, a local Mentor providing on-going coaching, and the funding for your deals. No one else offers this combination
  • Answers to your questions and much more!

SPECIAL BONUSES for Attending…

  1. Roger will reveal to you his source for consistent deal flow, in an overheated market like Tampa in 2018.
  2. Roger uses a system of proprietary formulas to guide his decision making and he’s going to share many of them with you.
  3. Everyone present will have the opportunity for a free Strategy Session with Gina Gaudio-Graves, one of America’s leading business coaches.
  4. Everyone present will get links to watch the event again (especially the part you miss during your strategy session).

Roger and his special guests will share with you a wealth of tips, tricks, formulas, methods, and the proper mindset for success in business. People routinely pay thousands of dollars for an hour of Roger’s time. But you will have access to him all day for just as little as $47!  Sign Up Now and reserve your seat on Saturday, January 20th!

Register Now!

It’s Worth Noting: To date, the Flipping America Mentoring Program has a 100% success rate. Every person who has completed the Fix and Flip Mentoring Program has purchased their first investment property within six months. FlipStarter offers no guarantee that you will succeed at this. Although we have a 100% success rate in the past, at some point someone is likely to drop the ball. We pledge to do our best to NOT let that person be you!
