Our special guest speaker this month will be our good friend, Don DeRosa, who is a real estate investor and national educator with more than 30 years of experience in creative real estate investing and deal structuring.

If you invest in real estate, you already know the truth… The business requires constant “busy” work.

Searching for deals.
Writing marketing.
Analyzing properties.
Following up with leads.
Organizing notes, emails, and contacts.

Most investors spend hours every week doing tasks that do not produce revenue.

Artificial Intelligence changed that.

The smartest investors now use AI to reduce research time, produce marketing in seconds, and organize their entire deal pipeline without hiring staff.

At this special presentation, national real estate educator Don DeRosa shows investors how AI tools support real estate businesses today.

This session focuses on practical use. No theory. No hype.

You will see real examples of how investors integrate AI into everyday real estate tasks.

What You Will Learn in This 90 Minute Session

How AI helps investors analyze properties faster

• Generate market summaries for a property
• Review neighborhood trends and rental demand
• Produce quick research reports for buyers and partners

How investors create marketing campaigns in minutes

• Postcards to absentee owners
• Cold call scripts
• Follow up text and email sequences
• Social media and listing content

How AI helps investors stay organized

• Turn contracts, notes, and training into a searchable knowledge base
• Quickly locate information from documents and files
• Keep deals and contacts organized

How smart investors eliminate repetitive tasks

• Generate first drafts of marketing instantly
• Create consistent follow up messaging

Where AI helps investors and where experience still matters

• What AI handles well

Why This Matters Right Now

In the past, investors needed staff to handle marketing, research, and follow up.

Today, one investor with the right systems operates at the level of an entire small team.

AI does not replace investors.

It removes the busy work that slows them down.

This presentation shows how the tools work and where they fit into a modern real estate business.

Who Should Attend

• New investors learning the business
• Experienced investors who want to work faster
• Part time investors with limited time
• Investors curious about AI but unsure where to start

Special Invitation

During the presentation, Don will also introduce an upcoming full day workshop where investors build a complete AI supported real estate business system step by step.

This workshop shows how to structure the business, automate workflows, and build a repeatable lead generation system.

Interest rates stay high. Buyers fail to qualify. Deals fall apart at the closing table. Meanwhile, a small group of investors keeps closing, deal after deal, by stepping into the seller’s loan instead of applying for a new one.

This is not theory. This is how properties change hands every week using "Subject To". The seller signs the deed. The existing loan stays in place. You control the property. When you know how to structure the conversation and the paperwork, you open a doors most investors never walk through.

If you are tired of losing deals over financing, this workshop changes the way you invest. You stop depending on approvals and start solving seller problems that others cannot.

What Makes This So Powerful

• You buy when other investors cannot
• You solve problems for sellers who feel stuck
• You control property with less cash out of pocket
• You create opportunities for cash flow, flips, or long term holds

What You Learn in This Full Day Workshop…

Talking to Sellers About Subject To

• How to explain the process in a way sellers understand
• How to answer fears about cred, liability, and payments
• The exact flow of a Subject To conversation from start to agreement

The Paperwork and Structure

• The documents used in Subject To transactions
• How deals are structured to reduce the chance of issues
• How insurance, payments, and servicing are handled

Dealing with Risk

• Where investors get into trouble and how to avoid those mistakes
• Red flags that tell you to walk away
• How to protect yourself while taking over payments

Finding the Right Sellers

• How to spot homeowners open to terms
• Marketing angles that attract sellers who need this option
• Turning leads you already have into Subject To opportunities

Real Deal Walkthroughs

• How real Subject To deals were structured
• What worked, what did not, and why
• How these deals turned into profit

This Is Not a Sit and Listen Event

You see the structure. You hear the conversations. You leave with a clear process you can apply to your next lead.

Who Needs to Be in This Room

• Investors losing deals because buyers cannot get loans
• Wholesalers who want another way to close
• Landlords who want long term holds without new financing
• Anyone serious about learning how property moves when banks slow down
