With an established real estate portfolio of his own, Chris is the owner of over 100 investment properties and manages many more. Chris’ background as a high school English teacher and wrestling coach, as well as service in the United States Marine Corps Reserve, has given him a strong foundation in education. He holds a BA with Teacher Certification from Eastern IL University. He has purchased over 200 properties on a teacher’s salary, and used multiple, creative strategies in doing so.
You will be inspired by these creative techniques and strategies for acquiring and gaining control of investment properties. Basic investment skills, control terminology and understanding potential seller motivations, will provide a solid foundation for purchasing properties once they are found. Strategies include equity sharing, options, contracts for deed, seller financing, mortgages, and more. Using case studies, learners gain an understanding of step-by-step techniques for buying and controlling properties without having to qualify for bank financing. You will leave this class with a knowledge of which investments would be best funded through retirement accounts, cash accounts, stock accounts, life insurance plans, margin accounts, and others. We will also train investors how to best utilize financial and social resources, as well as time, imagination, networking, and non-traditional assets to successfully acquire investment properties.
