header=[“Advanced Strategies for Building a Commercial Portfolio” with Ray Alcorn] body=[When we started asking around about the best commercial speakers in the country, one name kept coming up over and over, especially from our more experienced, seasoned investors: Ray Alcorn. Of course, their glowing recommendations were always followed by, “But you’ll never pry him out of Virginia, because he’s so busy enjoying the fruits of his 25-year super-successful commercial real estate career, and he doesn’t speak that often”.<br />
But after months of cajoling, whining, negotiating, and promising that the OREIA audience would love love love his no-bull, advanced approach to commercial investing, we finally convinced Ray to bring his extensive knowledge to our audience one time only.<br / >
This accelerated workshop is NOT for newbies or dilettantes. It’s for serious investors who are willing to make a serious commitment to commercial real estate. Starting with the your personal financial statement, the presentation is a step-by-step guide to what it REALLY takes to be successful in commercial properties. When you attend, you’ll get:

<ul>
<li>An overview of current conditions in rapidly-changing commercial real estate market; why you’ve heard about an impending collapse and what’s coming in the next year.</li>
<li>A step-by-step guide to positioning your finances to be a player in the commercial market, including how to develop banking relationships with the right lenders</li>
<li>How to identify markets and properties that have the right factors to profit</li>
<li>A detailed discussion of the unique qualities of each property type: retail, office, multi-family (including mobile home parks), and business-commercial.</li>
<li>How to perform due diligence like a pro, including checklists and forms to make sure you have the right information to buy profitably</li>
<li>How to negotiate with the seller and structure the deal for maximum profit—there are more “power deal structuring strategies” than you’ve ever imagined!</li>
<li>How to build a margin of safety into every deal</li>

header=[“Short Sales Made Smart and Simple” with Shaun McCloskey] body=[No question about it, short sales are the wave of the present—and the future. With nearly 2 million U.S. homes expected to go into foreclosure in 2009 alone, there are endless desperate sellers right in your own back yard who would LOVE to have you fix their problem by negotiating a pennies-on-the-dollar payoff with their banks—and don’t care one bit that you’ll make tens of thousands of dollars in the process.<br /><br />

The problem is, most short sale education makes it sound like every deal you do will be quick, easy, painless, and successful—and according to Shaun McCloskey (and about a billion real-life short sale investors we know), that’s just not the truth. Shaun is one of the few short sale experts you’ll ever meet who’s honest about the pros and cons—and tells you how to meet the challenges of this strategy head-on. It’s Shaun’s first time at OREIA, and he’ll explain:
<br />

<ul>
<li>Why some short sale deals are no-brainer money-makers and some are a complete waste of your time—and how to tell the difference BEFORE you spend a bunch of time “negotiating” deals that should be left for dead</li>
<li>Why good systems are key to working multiple short sales at once—and why working multiple deals at once is more profitable and easier than doing one at a time</li>
<li>How to identify the right sellers, properties, and lenders to work with, so you can make a 6-figure income negotiating short sales this </li>
</ul>
Want more? Check out Shaun’s Advanced Intensive session on Sunday Afternoon from 1:30-5:00, where he’ll show you how to have a profitable short sale business AND a real life!

Shaun McCloskey lives in St. Louis, Mo. He has closed more than 200 real estate deals, 70% of them acquired through short sales.]

header=[“How to Rehab for ½ the Cost” with Pete Youngs] body=[In today’s economy, everyone is looking for ways to spend less and get more. Rehabbers (and that’s you, if you own or retail real estate) can’t afford expensive missteps in today’s market, yet more money is lost during rehab of a property more than in any other phase of investing. Overfixing or overpaying for work are the most common mistakes the typical investor makes—and Pete Youngs is here to show you how to bring your rehabs, big and small, in on time and UNDER budget.<br /><br />

Pete Youngs, a.k.a. “Mr. Rehab”, has made an entire career out of getting the best possible renovations for the least amount of money. Imagine, if you had the insider information and contractor's secrets that allowed you to cut your rehab costs by 50-75%... Join Pete and you’ll get exactly that plus:
<br />

<ul>
<li>How to put an extra $5,000 in your pocket on your next rehab—pure profit, straight into your pocket</li>
<li>How to find the illusive “affordable, competent contractor”…and how to keep him with you once you capture him</li>
<li>How to get incredibly low labor prices without sacrificing quality (or ripping off your contractors)</li>
<li>Why doing rehabs COSTS you money, but managing rehabs MAKES you money</li>
</ul>

header=[“How to Collect 105% of Your Rents” with Mike Butler] body=[How much of your scheduled rental income do you REALLY collect? Do you even know? Would you like to collect MORE than your official “gross income”? <br /><br />

Mike Butler does. When he was a full-time cop buying an average of 2 properties per week and managing over 75 rentals, he didn’t have time to fool with uncollected rents, unpaid late fees, and tenants who moved out without making the last month’s payments—so he developed a system for tracking and collecting what every resident owed. Now a full-time investor, his annual rent collections are more than $1 million gross, and he’s finally ready to share his secrets for collecting MORE than your scheduled income with OREIA. He’ll share:
<br />

<ul>
<li>The 7 systems that will allow you to get more than 100% of your rents, keep your good tenants longer and reduce your tenant turnover saving time, money, and increasing your cash flow</li>
<li>How he successfully collects unpaid rent from tenants even after they’ve moved</li>
<li>His push button program that lets you track the performance and cash flow of any kind of deal, whether it be retail, wholesale, rental, or lease option</li>
</ul>
Mike Butler hails from Louisville, Ky., where he made his first million in real estate while working a full-time job as an undercover cop.

header=[“How to Fund All the Property you Want Without Banks, Brokers, or Credit Checks” with Matt Scott] body=[We all know that in today’s market, the challenge isn’t finding the bargain properties—it’s getting the money to BUY the bargain properties. You've probably left a deal or 2 on the table in the last few years because you couldn't get the cash to buy…but those days are over for you know. Imagine having the financing for all of your real estate ventures without ridiculous fees, penalties or payment schedules. It's possible and it's easier than think.<br />
Matt Scott is #1 expert you’ve never heard of on raising money to buy real estate of every description using OPM (Other People's Money). He’s raised millions of dollars in private loans and funding for projects ranging from the purchase and rehab of single family homes to commercial developments. And Matt’s REALLY different—he doesn’t believe in the “one size fits all” approach to private borrowing. Instead, he controls the terms for each and every loan, creating deals that work for him AND his lenders. In this, his first-ever OREIA appearance, he’ll reveal”<br />

<ul>
<li>How to easily and legally raise over $1 million a year in private money, so you never have to walk away from a great deal again</li>

header=[Saturday: “Advanced Rental Management and Partnership Strategies” with Missy McCall-Hammonds] body=[Missy McCall-Hammonds is one of those real estate success stories that simultaneously makes you feel hyper-motivated and like an under-achiever. In just 11 years in the real estate business, she’s bought and rehabbed over 500 houses; she currently owns 150 rentals and lease/options and manages 200 more for partners and investors.<br />
Needless to say, she hasn’t done all this without great systems and staff. Missy will go beyond the usual “tricks” that “mom and pop” landords use to manage the hard way, and show you how to build a real rental BUSINESS that runs with or without you. She’ll share some of her best systems, including:<br />

<ul>
<li>The property analysis system, so you can choose properties that work for you AND your tenants</li>
<li>The financing system, so you can have everything the bank (or your private lender) wants to see before they even ask</li>
<li>The “rent ready” system that makes your unit irresistible to tenants</li>
<li>The marketing system that brings ton of potential tenant into your funnel, so you can rent your vacancies fast</li>
<li>The lockbox showing system, so you never have to waste another minute showing units</li>
<li>The application system, so you can separate the mere liars from the out-and-out criminals—and find the good prospects in the mix</li>
<li>The lease signing system, so you won’t forget any of the 15 crucial things that you need to present to your tenants</li>
<li>The filing system—yep, it’s a system too!—that guarantees you’ll never have to hunt around for another piece of information</li>
<li>The billing system that will accelerate your rent collection instantly</li>
<li>The eviction and collection systems that will get rid of the bad guys fast and easily and let you collect lost rents you never thought you’d see</li>
</ul>
<br />
And—pay attention here, because this is really big—Missy will also be sharing, for the first time EVER, the details of her “Share the Wealth” program. This unique program allows her to sell her rental properties for FULL PRICE to passive investors, then continue to get cash flow and appreciation from them. Many, many people have tried to figure out and copy this system, but no one has really seen the details until now. If you’re trying to figure out how to refinance properties to get cash out in this practically credit-less market, Share the Wealth is your answer, and you’ll only learn about it in her workshop!<br /><br />
Missy McCall-Hammonds is the past president of the Investment Property Owner’s Association of Butler County, and owner of Bed and Breakfast Properties, which buys an average of 40 properties per year of resale and rental.

The Best Opportunity” with Eddie Speed] body=[When you know what Eddie Speed knows, the subprime crisis, mortgage meltdown, and record foreclosures have a profitable silver lining. It has to do with the growing market of seller financing, where sellers are forced to take back mortgages and land contracts just to sell their houses in a slow market…and how you can make a mint by buying or flipping the millions of notes that will be created in the next 5-10 years. <br />
Eddie’s lively presentation reveals how the savvy real estate investor can actually thrive off of the mortgage implosion. You can shift gears into a new career or supplement your current business with the high returns from seller financing. In his OREIA debut, Eddie will show you:<br />

<ul>
<li>How to create, invest in, or simply broker seller-held notes to make big money with minimal expense.</li>
<li>How investing in notes is the ultimate home-based business: you set your own hours, work from your house, and decide how much income you want</li>
<li>Why what you already know about real estate makes you ready to invest in notes now, with very little additional knowledge. </li>
<li>How you can earn 10% of the value of a seller-financed note without spending a dime of your own money </li>

That’s why we’ve brought Scott Meyers, the nation’s leading educator in self-storage investing, to introduce you to this lucrative and low-hassle investment. <br />

<ul>
<li>Why self-storage has out-performed every other sector of the real estate market in the past 30 years</li>

header=[Saturday: “Advanced Rental Management and Partnership Strategies” with Missy McCall-Hammonds] body=[Missy McCall-Hammonds is one of those real estate success stories that simultaneously makes you feel hyper-motivated and like an under-achiever. In just 11 years in the real estate business, she’s bought and rehabbed over 500 houses; she currently owns 150 rentals and lease/options and manages 200 more for partners and investors.<br />
Needless to say, she hasn’t done all this without great systems and staff. Missy will go beyond the usual “tricks” that “mom and pop” landords use to manage the hard way, and show you how to build a real rental BUSINESS that runs with or without you. She’ll share some of her best systems, including:<br />

<ul>
<li>The property analysis system, so you can choose properties that work for you AND your tenants</li>
<li>The financing system, so you can have everything the bank (or your private lender) wants to see before they even ask</li>
<li>The “rent ready” system that makes your unit irresistible to tenants</li>
<li>The marketing system that brings ton of potential tenant into your funnel, so you can rent your vacancies fast</li>
<li>The lockbox showing system, so you never have to waste another minute showing units</li>
<li>The application system, so you can separate the mere liars from the out-and-out criminals—and find the good prospects in the mix</li>
<li>The lease signing system, so you won’t forget any of the 15 crucial things that you need to present to your tenants</li>
<li>The filing system—yep, it’s a system too!—that guarantees you’ll never have to hunt around for another piece of information</li>
<li>The billing system that will accelerate your rent collection instantly</li>
<li>The eviction and collection systems that will get rid of the bad guys fast and easily and let you collect lost rents you never thought you’d see</li>
</ul>
<br />
And—pay attention here, because this is really big—Missy will also be sharing, for the first time EVER, the details of her “Share the Wealth” program. This unique program allows her to sell her rental properties for FULL PRICE to passive investors, then continue to get cash flow and appreciation from them. Many, many people have tried to figure out and copy this system, but no one has really seen the details until now. If you’re trying to figure out how to refinance properties to get cash out in this practically credit-less market, Share the Wealth is your answer, and you’ll only learn about it in her workshop!<br /><br />
Missy McCall-Hammonds is the past president of the Investment Property Owner’s Association of Butler County, and owner of Bed and Breakfast Properties, which buys an average of 40 properties per year of resale and rental.

header=[“Short Sales Made Smart and Simple” with Shaun McCloskey] body=[No question about it, short sales are the wave of the present—and the future. With nearly 2 million U.S. homes expected to go into foreclosure in 2009 alone, there are endless desperate sellers right in your own back yard who would LOVE to have you fix their problem by negotiating a pennies-on-the-dollar payoff with their banks—and don’t care one bit that you’ll make tens of thousands of dollars in the process.<br /><br />

The problem is, most short sale education makes it sound like every deal you do will be quick, easy, painless, and successful—and according to Shaun McCloskey (and about a billion real-life short sale investors we know), that’s just not the truth. Shaun is one of the few short sale experts you’ll ever meet who’s honest about the pros and cons—and tells you how to meet the challenges of this strategy head-on. It’s Shaun’s first time at OREIA, and he’ll explain:
<br />

<ul>
<li>Why some short sale deals are no-brainer money-makers and some are a complete waste of your time—and how to tell the difference BEFORE you spend a bunch of time “negotiating” deals that should be left for dead</li>
<li>Why good systems are key to working multiple short sales at once—and why working multiple deals at once is more profitable and easier than doing one at a time</li>
<li>How to identify the right sellers, properties, and lenders to work with, so you can make a 6-figure income negotiating short sales this </li>
</ul>

header=[“No Tenants or Toilets! $10,000 a Month in Self Storage Facilities” with Scott Meyers] body=[During a recession, lots of people are forced to downsize. When they do, guess what happens to all their ‘stuff’? It goes into self-storage facilities—and people who own them make a fortune. That’s why we’ve brought Scott Meyers, the nation’s leading educator in self-storage investing, to introduce you to this lucrative and low-hassle investment. <br />
Like many of us, Scott began his investing career in residential properties. Also, like many of us, he quickly got sick of the needy tenants, expensive evictions, and constant maintenance. That’s when he discovered self-storage investing, a highly-profitable and largely hands-off strategy that has made him rich. During Scott’s first-ever “main stage” OREIA session, he’ll show you:<br />

<ul>
<li>Why self-storage has out-performed every other sector of the real estate market in the past 30 years</li>
<li>How to identify the “ugly stepsister”, buy them with no money down, and turn them into seriously profitable “belles of the ball”. </li>
<li>How you can buy self-storage facilities anywhere in the US and run them remotely for the ultimate hands-off investment for you!</li>
</ul>
<br />
Scott Meyers has been investing in real estate since 1993. He’s owned over 400 houses and apartment units before switching his entire portfolio to self-storage units. He is the owner of Alcatraz Self-Storage, based in Indianapolis.

header=[Sunday: “How to Run Your Business Like a Business” with Elmer Diaz] body=[There are 2 levels of success for real estate investors—the one where you’re buying and selling a ton a deals, and the one where other people are doing it for you while you collect the checks. <br />
Elmer Diaz has reached this second level using “E-Myth” Principals. After moving from Puerto Rico to Texas in the 1980s, he took the Houston real estate market by storm, and by 1996 owned over 600 units with equity of $5.5 million, and was generating $3 million a year in flip income. In 1997, he took a 2-year vacation with his family, then returned to teach others what he’s learned about building a super-successful real estate business. <br /><br />

In this advanced workshop, Elmer will show you how to short cut the systemizing of your business, and get on to process and get there as fast as possible. Listen in as he shares:

<ul>
<li>How to protect your business (and your assets) with the right legal entities</li>
<li>Why it’s crucial to create systems that allow you to run your business more effectively—and let you easily hire others to run it for you</li>
<li>How to develop a blueprint for your own success, and a business model that will make you financially free, fast</li>
<li>How to stop working IN your real estate business and start working ON it</li>
</ul>
<br />
This intensive study of what it takes to run a real estate investing BUSINESS, as opposed to just investing in real estate, is the “missing piece” for most intermediate and advanced investors. You’ll find out how to do more deals with less effort by focusing on your business instead of the “flavor of the month” strategy. It’s a must-know topic for serious investors, and you’ll only see it here at OREIA.<br /><br />
Elmer Diaz is the president of the National Real Estate Investors Association (NaREIA) and invests in real estate in Texas, Florida, and Montana.

header=[“Sell-Financed Notes: The Right Time. The Best Opportunity” with Eddie Speed] body=[When you know what Eddie Speed knows, the subprime crisis, mortgage meltdown, and record foreclosures have a profitable silver lining. It has to do with the growing market of seller financing, where sellers are forced to take back mortgages and land contracts just to sell their houses in a slow market…and how you can make a mint by buying or flipping the millions of notes that will be created in the next 5-10 years. <br />
Eddie’s lively presentation reveals how the savvy real estate investor can actually thrive off of the mortgage implosion. You can shift gears into a new career or supplement your current business with the high returns from seller financing. In his OREIA debut, Eddie will show you:<br />

<ul>
<li>How to create, invest in, or simply broker seller-held notes to make big money with minimal expense.</li>
<li>How investing in notes is the ultimate home-based business: you set your own hours, work from your house, and decide how much income you want</li>
<li>Why what you already know about real estate makes you ready to invest in notes now, with very little additional knowledge. </li>
<li>How you can earn 10% of the value of a seller-financed note without spending a dime of your own money </li>
</ul>
<br />
Eddie Speed has been buying and brokering profitable seller-financed notes since 1980. His Dallas-area company has closed more than half a BILLION dollars in transactions.

header=[“How to Collect 105% of Your Rents” with Mike Butler] body=[How much of your scheduled rental income do you REALLY collect? Do you even know? Would you like to collect MORE than your official “gross income”? <br />
Mike Butler does. When he was a full-time cop buying an average of 2 properties per week and managing over 75 rentals, he didn’t have time to fool with uncollected rents, unpaid late fees, and tenants who moved out without making the last month’s payments—so he developed a system for tracking and collecting what every resident owed. Now a full-time investor, his annual rent collections are more than $1 million gross, and he’s finally ready to share his secrets for collecting MORE than your scheduled income with OREIA. He’ll share: <br />

<ul>
<li>The 7 systems that will allow you to get more than 100% of your rents, keep your good tenants longer and reduce your tenant turnover saving time, money, and increasing your cash flow</li>
<li>How he successfully collects unpaid rent from tenants even after they’ve moved</li>
<li>His push button program that lets you track the performance and cash flow of any kind of deal, whether it be retail, wholesale, rental, or lease option</li>
</ul>
<br />
Mike Butler hails from Louisville, Ky., where he made his first million in real estate while working a full-time job as an undercover cop.

header=[“How to Fund All the Property you Want Without Banks, Brokers, or Credit Checks” with Matt Scott] body=[We all know that in today’s market, the challenge isn’t finding the bargain properties—it’s getting the money to BUY the bargain properties. You've probably left a deal or 2 on the table in the last few years because you couldn't get the cash to buy…but those days are over for you know. Imagine having the financing for all of your real estate ventures without ridiculous fees, penalties or payment schedules. It's possible and it's easier than think.<br />
Matt Scott is #1 expert you’ve never heard of on raising money to buy real estate of every description using OPM (Other People's Money). He’s raised millions of dollars in private loans and funding for projects ranging from the purchase and rehab of single family homes to commercial developments. And Matt’s REALLY different—he doesn’t believe in the “one size fits all” approach to private borrowing. Instead, he controls the terms for each and every loan, creating deals that work for him AND his lenders. In this, his first-ever OREIA appearance, he’ll reveal”<br />

<ul>
<li>How to easily and legally raise over $1 million a year in private money, so you never have to walk away from a great deal again</li>
<li>How to structure your loans to get maximum profits with minimum risk</li>
<li>What you need to know about federal laws and regulations that govern how you can advertise, who you can borrow from, and more—you NEED to know these to raise big money and avoid big trouble!</li>
</ul>
