ONLINE MASTERCLASS:

THE 2026 NOTE BUYER'S THRIVAL GUIDE
WITH DONNA BAUER
Saturday, 5/9/2026

Online%20Masterclass%2005092026

The market has changed.

Easy flips are harder.

Cash flow is tighter.

Many rental owners are tired of repairs, turnover, slow-paying tenants, and underperforming properties.

     At the same time, rising interest rates and slower sales have created opportunity in notes, seller financing, and discounted paper.

     That’s why this Saturday Masterclass, with 40-year veteran of the note buying business Donna Bauer, matters so much now.

     If you’re someone who wants to spend the next year profiting from the market as it is now, instead of complaining that it’s not like it was before, be here—because buying, selling, and creating notes is a strategy that gets hotter when the real estate market slows down.

     You’ll learn SO MUCH about the note business in this class, like:

  • How the slower real estate market has changed the note business
  • Why seller-held notes are the easiest, lowest-competition way into note investing today
  • How rising rates have created discounted buying opportunities
  • How to evaluate notes now that prices are no longer flying upward
  • How to structure safer note deals in a shifting economy
  • How to work with capital partners or flip notes for quick cash
  • How to find motivated note sellers who want cash now
  • How to create your own notes when selling property—and then sell those notes
  • How landlords can sell pain-in-the-neck or underperforming rentals using notes and trade management headaches for income
  • Win-win solutions for when the worst happens: you have a note, and the borrower can’t pay

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

     Also, members and non-members at every experience level are welcome…but yeah, members get a better deal ( $47 through May 7th / $67 after) than non-members ($97 through May 7th / $127 after, so it’s smarter to join for a month HERE for just $30 and save the $50 AND get to take advantage of all of our other members benefits for 30 days)

As always, Express Success Members are FREE (but you do have to register)

And as always, you’ll be 100% satisfied that your investment of time and money will MAKE you money, or we’ll refund your registration fee.

     Register below to get your zoom link and get ready to learn about the profitable world of buying and flipping seller-held notes!!

FOCUS GROUP: REHABBING PROPERTIES FOR FUN & PROFIT - WORKING WITH CONTRACTORS

Thursday, 5/14/2026

Fg Rehabbing%2005142026

Building Your Contractor Team the Right Way
Practical Strategies for Hiring, Managing, and Retaining Reliable Contractors

A great contractor can help make your deal profitable. The wrong one can derail timelines, inflate costs, and create unnecessary stress.

Join us for a practical discussion with Andrea Lane, MREIA's VP, on how real estate investors can confidently find, vet, hire, and manage quality contractors. We’ll cover the real-world challenges investors face during rehabs and renovations, along with proven strategies for avoiding costly mistakes and keeping projects running smoothly.

You’ll learn:

  • How to identify dependable contractors
  • What to evaluate when comparing bids
  • Common red flags and warning signs
  • How to establish clear communication and expectations
  • Ways to keep projects on schedule and contractors accountable
  • The follow-up systems successful investors use after hiring

Whether you’re tackling your first rehab or managing multiple projects, this session will help you strengthen your contractor selection process, reduce costly setbacks, and improve project performance.

We look forward to seeing you on the Zoom call! Please pre-register HERE.

For MREIA Members only. Not a member? Join us!

Quotation Mark

I sincerely hope you like what you do, as well as like the people you work with. After all a good part of your life is spent working so you might as well enjoy it. But if you are one of those 5/7ths people, who live for the weekend, and yearn for something better, something you enjoy and can start doing part time, real estate investing may be for you.

There is no business quite like real estate investing. You can control large amounts of property with small amounts of cash and safely leverage your way to real wealth and prosperity.

But you need to do it the right way. Educating yourself as to the proper way to structure deals that benefit you and the other parties involved is of vital importance. Also learning how to manage and renovate properties is also of the utmost importance.

Dave Corsi, MREIA President
From The Metro: "Are you a 5/7 person?"
