Jason Kennedy, visiting from California!

Going From Broke with a Master’s Degree to Making Money in Real Estate

After achieving a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology, Jason (“Jay K” to his friends) got laid off from his job. This made him realize that he needed to take control of his financial destiny, and he invested in a Real Estate Training Seminar to learn how to become a successful Real Estate Investor.

That was 13 years ago, and he has never looked back. He not only invests full time, but has served as a trainer, mentor, and coach for aspiring real estate investors for over 10 years. He also added his license as a Realtor in California so he could provide more opportunities to help and mentor his clients to achieve success through Real Estate.

Jay K is also the founder and creator of the cutting edge training system, “3 Days to Real Estate Riches! Get a Deal in 3 Days!” This is the system that Jay K, as well as his students use to open up any market, build their real estate business in that market, and have deals in the pipeline in just 3 days! Whether you’re a new investor looking to get started, or a seasoned vet looking to open up multiple markets, this system is for you!

Jay K is looking forward to training at a city near you!

His specialties include wholesaling, fix and flips, buy and holds, and multifamily investing.

Reggie Brooks has achieved what many people consider to be impossible. He went from making $36,000 per year at the local telephone company, to making over $40,000 per month in his real estate business. Starting out with very little money, Reggie began his investment career in 1986. After taking several real estate investment courses he began investing in rental properties in Los Angeles. By educating himself about hidden opportunities in real estate and making well placed investments, he has become a multi-millionaire.

Reggie is an international speaker/lecturer, an author, and an active real estate investor. Reggie has spoken on programs with such notables as Donald Trump, Magic Johnson, Suze Orman, Anthony Robbins, George Foreman, Rudy Giuliani, Dr. Albert Lowry, Alan Greenspan, David Bach and Russell Simmons, to name a few. “It’s very simple when you take the time to learn how”, Reggie says. Over the years, Reggie has developed his Success Systems that consistently turn marginal $15,000 to $20,000 real estate deals into $50,000 to $75,000 deals. Reggie teaches his Success Systems all over America. His students say that the combination of his insightful knowledge with a sheer joy for teaching makes the learning process pleasurable.

Reggie has earned the respect of the real estate investment community as well as the seminar community because of his many investment accomplishments and his ability to teach them in a seminar or classroom setting. Of his many successful students Reggie is most proud of his two kids, Keith and Arlett. Through his mentoring they have both become successful, full time millionaire real estate investors.

ARMANDO MONTELONGO, THE FORMER STAR OF A&E’S “FLIP THIS HOUSE” IN PERSON!

Armando Montelongo, Star of “Flipping Nightmares” and former star of A&E’s “Flip This House”

Armando is the ORIGINAL real estate reality star, and is consistently ranked as one of the most successful Hispanics in business. He is visiting us from San Antonio, Texas!

Don’t miss the very rare opportunity to learn directly from the founder of a company who has invested over one billion dollars. Armando has been doing this business longer than most people in the industry. This his passion and it shows.

Starting off with no credit, experience, or knowledge, Armando is now known as one of the top real estate investors in the country. How did he go from living in his family-in-law’s garage to owning a multi-million dollar company? Find Out Here!

FLIPPING HOUSES
After deciding to leave California to move back to his hometown in Texas, Armando made his very first deal. His first wholesale introduced him to a whole new world – and it was only the beginning.

As Armando continued buying, rehabbing, and selling more and more properties, he kept in mind what worked and what didn’t work. The more houses he flipped, the more he noticed a pattern. He wrote the pattern out and realized that he had come up with an excellent formula to successfully flip houses. The best part was that he didn’t even have to use his own money!

SHARING THE KNOWLEDGE
In his first 3 years of investing, Armando was able to bring in a net profit of $3 million. As his expertise was increasingly being sought after, Armando has created a multi-million dollar real estate education program that has helped aspirant house flippers. For instance, Armando’s Flip and Grow Rich System teaches you how to find, fund, fix, and flip properties in the most efficient ways.

Residential real estate and in particular, flipping houses, is the most popular way to get started for anyone looking to get into the property game. Armando got his start in real estate by flipping houses and creating his system to gain the highest profit possible. Even though he has branched into other business ventures, Armando is still very active in residential and commercial real estate.

Investing in Cash Flow – Doing Well by Doing Good

TopstoneInvestment, LLC (“Topstone”) started in 2013 with two clear objectives – Do Well by Doing Good. At the core of our operations are the values associated with “social investing’. To us, it is more than simply ROI, it is a holistic approach to solving and tackling issues often encountered in the inner city.

The company’s founders found a niche in buying, rehabbing and renting out Section 8 Properties in the Midwest (Kansas City, MO and Saint Louis, MO) markets. Since 2013 the company has acquired over 310 single family residences and rehabbed many to provide the residents with a clean, safe, upgraded home that they can live in. Topstone has acquired a large volume of homes such that certain neighborhoods have improved significantly. Residents are thrilled to be living in a ‘new, fixed up home’ where the property management team actually listens to them.

We work closely with the local Section 8 Housing Authorities to provide families with homes in which the residents can safely raise their families. In return, we have had very low turn over compared to other Section 8 operators and that in turn results in greater cash flow for our company and our investors.

Since 2013, Topstone has expanded into several new markets and has built a ‘local team’ in each of the new markets. We currently offer investment opportunities to investors that are looking for solid passive returns on their funds.

Here is more information about FOREX from Investopedia:

What Is Forex?

The foreign exchange market is the “place” where currencies are traded. Currencies are important to most people around the world, whether they realize it or not, because currencies need to be exchanged in order to conduct foreign trade and business. If you are living in the U.S. and want to buy cheese from France, either you or the company that you buy the cheese from has to pay the French for the cheese in euros (EUR). This means that the U.S. importer would have to exchange the equivalent value of U.S. dollars (USD) into euros. The same goes for traveling. A French tourist in Egypt can’t pay in euros to see the pyramids because it’s not the locally accepted currency. As such, the tourist has to exchange the euros for the local currency, in this case the Egyptian pound, at the current exchange rate.

The need to exchange currencies is the primary reason why the forex market is the largest, most liquid financial market in the world. It dwarfs other markets in size, even the stock market, with an average traded value of around U.S. $2,000 billion per day. (The total volume changes all the time, but as of August 2012, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) reported that the forex market traded in excess of U.S. $4.9 trillion per day.)

One unique aspect of this international market is that there is no central marketplace for foreign exchange. Rather, currency trading is conducted electronically over-the-counter (OTC), which means that all transactions occur via computer networks between traders around the world, rather than on one centralized exchange. The market is open 24 hours a day, five and a half days a week, and currencies are traded worldwide in the major financial centers of London, New York, Tokyo, Zurich, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Singapore, Paris and Sydney – across almost every time zone. This means that when the trading day in the U.S. ends, the forex market begins anew in Tokyo and Hong Kong. As such, the forex market can be extremely active any time of the day, with price quotes changing constantly.
