GREG SLAUGHTER

ARE TENANTS AND TOILETS DRIVING YOU CRAZY?

Most People Fail With Rentals Because They Can’t Get Them Managed Properly. At our upcoming Convention, Greg Slaughter will teach about how to CREATE perfect tenants. This will help you eliminate headaches and maximize profits.

He will share with you how to start take back control of your rentals! Greg was a tired landlord beyond frustrated, and just about to give up! He had gone through a couple of property management companies in less than a year. He then started managing his rentals himself and did what the industry and others had taught him to do. However, it wasn’t fun. He dreaded every time the phone rang and what he was going to have to deal with. It was taking away from his family and his spirits. He was ready to quit and just sell them all!

But he decided he wasn’t going to allow tenants to take away his and his family’s financial freedom. He had gotten rental properties so he could have the profits and freedom to enjoy life and he was not going to have bad tenants take that away from him.

“It wasn’t right and it wasn’t fair and I decided I had to find a better way then what I was taught and saw by other landlords and the industry. I was determined, went to work, and found that better way!

“The first thing I discovered was that every landlord I spoke with was just as frustrated as I was. We were all getting the same results cause we were all following the same teachings that the industry taught. 

“At first I was relieved by this because I now understood I wasn’t the problem- the industry was! Every book, every video, every so called ‘Guru’ taught the same thing (and still do today). 

“If we want different results then we must do something different. That is what we did. We stopped focusing on just trying to find and hope for a Perfect Tenant but instead on how to create the Perfect Tenant. Once we did that, the results immediately changed! 

“We found that by doing different things not taught in this industry but borrowing the concepts from other industries we were able to create Perfect Tenants from the pool of tenants we already had. 

“I started the mindset of creating Perfect Tenants and incorporated it into our rental business. I went to work creating, testing, honing and tweaking systems on every aspect of owning a rental home.

“Now 20+ years later these systems have been tested, changed as needed, and proven to work for us in our business. We were able to create Perfect Tenants and eliminate almost all of our headaches while drastically increasing our profits. Today I self-manage all of our rentals and enjoy the freedom that I originally set out to acquire.”

At our upcoming Convention, he will share ideas from his powerful systems on how to CREATE the perfect tenant with you!

For this upcoming event, I have asked Brad to reveal at least 5 to 10 of his most non-traditional landlording strategies which generate for him the greatest cash flow especially during the pre-screening and leasing process. And to truly break it down step by step so that those in attendance will be able to also implement the same strategies. So at this year’s Convention, he will share some of his most Do-Less-Make-More ideas that enable he and his wife to make more income and have more FREEDOM year after year!

MIKE BUTLER

Mike Butler began his real estate investing career while working his full-time job as an undercover police detective in Louisville, Ky investigating murder for hire, contract killings and organized crime. Mike started buying fixer uppers and renting them to make extra money vs. working “off duty” part-time moon light jobs like many of his fellow police officers. Mike discovered very quickly how powerful investing in real estate could be for his family and he exploded his real estate business by buying an average of 2 rental properties every week while working his full-time job! He did this for several years. To this day, Mike Butler has never gone to a bank to get a loan to buy an investment property and he started with less than $1,000 in his Police Credit Union savings account.

“I love Landlords! Why? Because you guys are the sharpest investors in the country! You get it!

ANDY SOMMER

Some real estate investors significantly improve their communities and family legacies, while others feel they are just on an endless treadmill of clogged toilets and trashed houses.   Andy and Sara Sommer fully understand both scenarios.  Andy used to own a HVAC business, and after work and on weekends he would do almost all the repairs and maintenance work on his rental properties. With a handful of rentals, he thought he was saving money doing all the work on the properties. However, it was not until he STOPPED doing the maintenance work himself that his rental portfolio, cash flow and time freedom began to dramatically increase. 

NOW is the time to start working on your business instead of in it.  Learn several practical suggestions of how to put the tools down, hire others and use forms, funnels, and procedures that automate and streamline the maintenance side your rental business.  The result is a real estate business in which produces truly passive income, generational wealth, and changes your family’s destiny.  NOW is the time to stop doing everything yourself and let your team handle everyday challenges. 

SAUNDRA DE MONTAÑO

Saundra has a passion for real estate. A graduate of Stanford University with a degree in mathematics, de Montaño worked first as an actuary and then moved onto writing technical manuals for software and computer programming, but eventually gravitated to real estate as her one true passion.   

In 1996 she, along with her husband, purchased a tri-plex in San Mateo, California, then later, a six-plex in San Francisco.Recognizing the inherent value of real estate, the two-income couple lived off one salary and saved the other for buying more properties.  This tactic allowed them to purchase with cash and no bank financing, a ten-unit complex in San Francisco. They continued buying homes in Las Vegas, Texas and Atlanta and ultimately amassing 34 homes in four states.  To say that Saundra understands the intricacies and challenges of property management is an understatement. 

In 2014, Saundra opened her own real estate brokerage firm  in Las Vegas. In 2017 as the short-term housing rental market flourished, Saundra recognized the value and benefits of managed corporate housing – both from a property owners’ and resident’s perspective. Guaranteed high quality homes, carefully screened residents and strong ROI for owners was a winning combination. In 2017, after being inspired at a Mr Landlord Convention, Saundra purchased the Las Vegas franchise of AvenueWest, a national leader in managed corporate housing. Saundra will share how you can create a whole new level of rental income by targeting a different resident profile for one or more of your rentals.

RANDY HUGHES, Mr. Land Trust®

Randy is a national expert on financial privacy and asset protection, known as Mr. Land Trust®.  He has agreed to deliver a presentation at our Convention which he is going to explain how estate planning and protecting your assets is now more vital than ever as we’ve seen during the pandemic that the rules related to rental property can be turned upside down. NOW is the time to better protect your assets.

Mr. Land Trust® will explain to you how you can:

* Eliminate confrontations with tenants by being a property manager of assets not in your name!

* Obtain privacy of ownership and avoid frivolous lawsuits. Don’t let deadbeats and their attorneys steal your hard earned assets!

* Eliminate the risk of selling on an installment contract or lease-optioning to your residents.

* Combine trusts with LLC’s for dy-no-mite asset protection. Most attorneys won’t know how to employ this concept to your best advantage.

* Discover the secrets to keeping more of your own cash when you do sell by eliminating most closing costs!

* Better prepare your estate planning. Avoid due-on-sale, transfer taxes, re-assessment upon sale and seasoning issues. And avoid probate! Let your heirs take control of your assets immediately!!

Did you know that as real estate investors we can create financial privacy and asset protection at NO COST to us! That’s right, it costs NOTHING for you and your family to be more secure. Mr. Land Trust®, Randy Hughes, has been investing for more than 5 decades. Randy specializes in the single-family house business and utilizing land trusts to protect assets in all sorts of ways. Randy has trained thousands of real estate investors. NO ONE knows more about protecting your assets than Mr. Land Trust®.

JENNIFER DONLEY

It’s often said the 90% of all your resident headaches are the result of poor tenant screening. And now more than ever, as landlords move forward from covid, careful tenant screening has become even more vital. Since screening is vital to your success, our landlord convention would not be complete without having an instructor who can address this topic head on. We have invited Jennifer Donley, the “Queen of Section 8”, who regularly teaches a “Master Class” on Tenant Screening, to teach us screening tips that she has needed to survive with both section 8 and market residents.

Jennifer firmly believes that many landlords get themselves in trouble when screening and managing rental properties with Section 8 or Market renters because they don’t build or follow systems and processes and they skimp on screening, repairs and maintenance. Eventually, they end up with crummy tenants, beat up properties and then they want to put the blame on the type of residents they have, instead of the blame on themselves. Jennifer currently has 38 rentals units and now her big focus is on growing her portfolio through Section 8 rental properties. Why Section 8? Because she loves to look for efficiency and to create repeatable systems. The beauty of working with a government-type agency is that the whole system is built on repeatable processes. Yes, that sometimes means that you have more red tape to wade through, but once you figure that red tape out, you can follow those processes over and over and over again.

Jennifer lives in the St. Louis area with her husband and their three daughters. In addition to their rental portfolio, she owns a commercial cleaning business with her husband. She loves real estate investing and she looks forward to sharing her passion about screening at our Convention. She will also share how she makes the Section 8 niche work for her and why now is the time for more landlords to consider Section 8 renters, which she believes if done right and with the right screening, is one of the most stable and profitable rental niches out there. With ANY resident, SCREENING is one of your keys to success!

JOSH KAHANE

Josh is a “Bet the Company” trial attorney who has successfully litigated on behalf of landlords, property management firms and operators in a broad range of complex commercial disputes in courts throughout the United States. As a lawyer, Josh’s commitment and skill in the courtroom has garnered him too many accolades to list—among them, Best of the Bar, Best Lawyer in America, Super Lawyer, Top 100 Trial Lawyer, and Top 100 High Stakes Litigator, in just 2020 alone!  He has been featured in Forbes, Fortune, Money, and Bloomberg Business Week, as well as legal publications published by the bars of no fewer than eight states.

In a time of unparalleled challenges facing the country, and as government regulation threatens a collapse of the residential real estate market, Josh took on the U.S. Government in a landmark case to vindicate the rights of the real estate industry infringed upon by the CDC’s Halt Order on residential evictions.  He did so with the kind of intellect, determination, and passion befitting a man who has moved unmovable mountains.

More than anything, Josh is a man whose deep-seated sense of ethics, fairness, and unwavering dedication to his clients no longer allowed him to stand as a silent witness to what he deems as an unconstitutional and dangerous precedent threatening the livelihood of an industry beset by the rage of COVID-19. And when I invited Josh to our Convention to share with landlords what he has been able to do, he did not hesitate. And most importantly he will also share what we can do in our towns across the US to fight for our property rights.

DAVID TILNEY

David is one of the absolute top landlording instructors in the country. This is indeed one of those unique opportunities to learn from one who of the all-time bests.  He started buying houses in 1978. David fully understands that the key to long term success was, and still is, good management. David has spent nearly 40 years learning property management from the most knowledgeable managers he could find. David will share his secrets of success for the mom and pop single-family investor and will help you implement them yourself.

He will give Convention attendees specific training to make your operation more efficient. He will teach: 

• What factors are now most important when screening rental applicants
• Dealing with both applicants and residents (and vendors) virtually
• Master leasing as a way to increase cash flow and acquire real estate 

David’s training will enable you to reduce stress, increase cash flow and find more time for other pursuits. His  management philosophy has always been to treat his residents the way they would like to be treated, while maintaining strong controls to assure maximum profitability with a minimum of hassles. He continues to manage our own rental portfolio, as well as “master lease” single family homes of other owners and investors.

He collects ALL his rents prior to the first of each month and he has experienced only one eviction in his entire management history. Most of his residents rent for multiple years, including as long as 18 years and 25 years.  Using a hassle free  system, he has properties in two states and he is able to manage his Colorado properties “long distance” from Florida or wherever he happens to be.  His management procedures will enable you to streamline day-to-day operations to maximize the bottom line.

DONNA BAUER

Donna Bauer, nationally known as The Original NoteBuyer, is one of the country’s most recognized authorities on Discounted Notes, Seller Financing, and Foreclosures. For over two decades, she has shared her exclusive wealth-building strategies and helped thousands of individuals to create, build, and maintain financial freedom. Donna started out as a typical soccer mom, babysitting 5 kids for a dollar an hour each. Determined to find financial independence for her family while being a stay-at-home mom, she soon found the perfect vehicle—investing in discounted mortgages. Besides her own real estate and paper investments, Donna’s resume is quite extensive, including all areas of real estate investing, such as owning a title company, managing a commercial office park, a downtown high-rise, and several large apartment complexes.

Donna Bauer encourages all landlords to have notes as part of their investment portfolio. She actually prefers buying notes over buying rental property. The reason for this is that she never actually owns the property. She owns the note. And for many investors who do not want to deal with or master the landlording challenges, buying notes offers you cash flow without the traditional landlording headaches. Since you don’t own the property, you don’t have to deal with tenants, trash, toilets, or termites. You also don’t have to deal with repairs, rehabs, contractors, or even liability claims. You don’t even have to worry about carrying costs such as taxes, insurance, utility bills, or HOA fees. In other words, you’ll have no negative cash flows, unexpected expenses, or headaches when you’re dealing with the note instead of the real property. I guess you can see why Donna loves notes. She enjoys all the security of a real estate investment without the hassles!

One of the most common questions she gets asked when she talks about the security of notes is, “What happens when the borrower doesn’t pay?” She responds by saying: “You might come to an agreement with the borrower to accept the deed to the property in lieu of foreclosing and jeopardizing their credit. Otherwise, you’ll simply go ahead and foreclose, where one of two things will happen: either you’ll be paid off at the foreclosure sale, or you’ll wind up owning the property. At that point, you will have to deal with the property, but, you can often sell it for extra profit, keep it for residual rental income, or even move into it if you want. Donna will share at the upcoming Landlord National Convention, several ideas and clear strategies on how you can buy and profit from buying notes with very minimum risk.

blank line

Personal Note from Al: “The landlord profession is overdue for a revolution. The business model of generating rental income to cover your underlying payments by only charging rent is just…. not sufficient. My mission is to construct and share an additional business model that would allow landlords to create enough non-traditional rental income to cover your payments, and allow the traditional rent to be mere icing on the cake. Never again will you be able to say you do not have enough cash flow!”
