Where are the deals in 2026?

Maybe in the mailbox. Maybe in foreclosure. Maybe inside a defaulted note. Maybe through a smarter online funnel.

On September 21, Kathy Kennebrook, David Randolph, Sri Gan, and Damon Remy will compare four very different ways active investors are finding opportunities right now.

The goal isn’t to convince you there’s one “best” source. It’s to help you see where you may not be looking—and decide where your next marketing dollar and hour should go.

Join The Best Ways to Find Deals in the Strangled 2026 Market, online and free at 7:30 p.m. Eastern.

Register here, even if you can’t come, because if you’re registered, you’ll get the recording on Tuesday!

2-Day Online Real Estate Investor Basic Training: The No-BS Guide to What You Need to Know Before You Do Your First Deal

Saturday & Sunday, September 26-27
9:00 AM-4:00 PM Eastern
ONLINE
With Vena Jones-Cox

Want to get into real estate investing?

Then there's something you need to know:
The expensive part isn't learning how to do it.

The expensive part is doing your first deal WITHOUT knowing what you're doing.
Especially in 2026.

Prices are high. Interest rates are high. Financing has changed. And a deal that looks great to an inexperienced investor can turn into an expensive lesson very quickly.

That's why we're spending TWO FULL DAYS covering the real-world fundamentals you need BEFORE you do your first deal.

No hype.
No "get rich quick."
No pretending every property is a deal or that every strategy works for everyone.

You'll learn:

What a successful deal actually looks like in today's market
The 5 basic exit strategies and how to choose the right one
How real investors find off-market deals
How to determine the ACTUAL value of a property before making an offer
Hard money, DSCR loans, and conventional financing
Subject-to, owner financing, and master leases
Negotiation strategies that help create better deals
The common mistakes new investors make—and how to avoid them
How to get the help you need without paying a fortune for it
Your instructor, Vena Jones-Cox, has spent 35 years doing more than 2,000 real estate deals, including flips, rentals, lease/options, seller-financed deals, private loans, creative acquisitions, and off-market deals.

She's also been featured in Money Magazine, USA Today, Reader's Digest, and Gary Keller's bestseller The Millionaire Real Estate Investor.

This is your chance to spend two days building the knowledge base you need to evaluate opportunities with a lot more confidence—and avoid the mistakes that wipe out so many new investors.

The workshop will be recorded, and all registrants receive the recording.

Registration is just $47 for members AND non-members through September 24.
After September 24, it's $67.
And it's backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee or your money back.

ONLINE MASTERCLASS: How to Die Right as a Real Estate Investor with... Robert Mohon

Investors spend years building wealth but have a vague plan for what happens if they die or become unable to run the business. Learn how to create a death-or-disability investor operating system your heirs can follow, and leave a blessing, not a mess

Saturday, September 12, 2026
6:00 AM - 11:00 AM

How to Die Right as a Real Estate Investor
(And What to Do if You Don’t Die, But Can’t Run the Business)

With Robert Mohon

You’ve spent years building your portfolio.

Maybe decades.

You’ve acquired rentals. LLCs. Partnerships. Notes. Seller-financed deals. Options. Contracts. Relationships. Systems.

Now ask yourself a simple question:

If something happened to you tonight, who would know what to do with all of it tomorrow morning?

Most investors assume a will or trust solves the problem.

It doesn’t.

If you’re alive but unable to make decisions, who can collect rents? Pay bills? Handle lenders? Sign contracts? Manage rehabs? Deal with partners? Protect your income?

And if you’re gone, will your family know what you own, where the documents are, what deadlines matter, who needs to be called, or what should be kept versus sold?

For many investors, the answer is a hard no.

And that’s how wealth meant to be “generational” and built over decades can be damaged, delayed, or lost in a matter of months.

In this practical workshop, Robert Mohon will help you build more than an estate plan.

You’ll begin creating a real-world operating system for your financial life.

You’ll discover how to:

Identify what happens to your assets if you die or become incapacitated.

Determine who has authority to act in each situation
Inventory your real estate, entities, debts, contracts, and unusual assets.

Identify financial and contractual “time bombs” that require immediate attention.

Spot weaknesses in wills, trusts, powers of attorney, beneficiary designations, and entity documents.

Choose the right people to make legal, financial, and real-estate decisions.

Create an “If Something Happens to Me” operating file
Build a practical action plan to protect your family and your legacy
If your goal is true generational wealth, this workshop is essential.

Because wealth isn’t just what you leave behind: it’s whether the people you leave it to can successfully manage it.

Your investment is only $47 by September 10th if you’re a member, $97 by September 10th if you’re not (but since it only costs $30 a month to join, it’s smarter to do that, and get access to our other 20 monthly meetings, and save $50). After September 10, the investment is $67 for members and $127 for nonmembers.

Express Success Members are FREE (but you do have to register).

Yes, this workshop will be recorded and all registrants will receive the recording, so register even if you can’t attend live.

100% satisfaction guaranteed or your money back.

🏠 **LAREIA Monthly Meeting — Special Guest Bill Cook!**

Join us **Wednesday, August 12** for a special LAREIA monthly meeting featuring nationally known creative real estate investor and deal structurer **Bill Cook**.

Bill and his wife, Kim, have been full-time real estate investors since 1998, and Bill has more than **33 years of face-to-face dealmaking experience**.

His philosophy is simple:

**Real estate investing isn’t about buying, selling, or renting houses. It’s about helping people solve their real estate problems.**

Bill is widely known for his expertise in **advanced creative deal structuring**, particularly a strategy he calls **Structure Stacking**—combining multiple creative techniques within a single transaction to turn deals that may look impossible into deals that actually work.

He’s also one of the few investors with decades of hands-on experience using **Pure Options**, a powerful but little-known real estate investing strategy.

Whether you’re trying to figure out how to creatively **buy, fund, hold, or sell** a property, this is an opportunity to learn from someone who has spent decades sitting across the table from homeowners and structuring real-world deals.

Bill and Kim also operate **CashFlowDepot.com**, home to the legendary teachings of Jack Miller, and previously founded and ran North Georgia REIA, which grew to more than 2,400 members.

🔥 **If you’re serious about becoming a better dealmaker, don’t miss this meeting.**

📅 Wednesday, August 12
⏰ 5:30 PM Pacific Time
📍 Zoom

✅ How different trusts can be used to creatively sell real estate or businesses
✅ How installment sales to trusts can defer taxes on profits
✅ Strategies to keep your equity working for YOU
✅ Flexible alternatives to traditional 1031 exchanges
