Inside the Investor Files "Show & Tell"
It is rare for most real estate investors or instructors to open up their private financial files to show "outsiders". We will be bringing actual paperwork and files into this workshop for inspection. Inside these files, we will share with the three files we keep on every investment property: a Tenant file, an Administrative file, and an Acquisitions file.
Within our Tenant files you will see actual signed agreements/contracts, applications, payment history, check/money order copies, background checks, eviction filings, etc.
Within our Administrative files, you will see actual copies of insurance policies, the declaration pages, and how policies are named, addressed, and structured. We will also show actual copies of mortgage statements from various mortgage companies that show the different formats they use and information provided.
Within our Acquisitions file, you will see closing and settlement paperwork relating to the initial acquisition of our properties. They include actual appraisals, surveys, title checks, warranty deeds, and HUD-1 Settlement statement.
We will also show our corporate checking account statement which shows how we use Internet banking in our operation.
BONUS: We will be showing you how our highly-Google-ranked OwnerFinanceHomes.com website is operated and managed "behind the scenes".

will be a unique experience!
Great Reasons to Attend the 2008 Portfolio-Building Workshop!
Unlike other seminar you may have attended, this intensive workshop has been specially designed to not only

before the Event to the Bonus Evening Session after the Event! Each and every day of the event, there will be an evening
event. You will have a total of four educational sessions in the evening

into Columbus, GA (CSG) Airport is the most efficient. However, it is generally more economical to fly into the Atlanta (ATL) Airport and then buy a round-trip ticket from Groome Transportation for a for a 90-minute shuttle ride into Columbus, GA.
I am big believer that the best learning comes when you are working and in a comfortable setting.

Take a look at this magnificent lobby and atrium. During your breaks, you will enjoy this spacious view as you go and explore the 3 sitting areas in the lobby and atrium areas.
