In fact, Lou has collected over $100,000 this year from this “limited time” opportunity, and is now ready to show you how to do the same. You’ll find out:

“How to Collect 105% of Your Rents” with Mike Butler

How much of your scheduled rental income do you REALLY collect? Do you even know? Would you like to collect MORE than your official “gross income”?

Mike Butler does. When he was a full-time cop buying an average of 2 properties per week and managing over 75 rentals, he didn’t have time to fool with uncollected rents, unpaid late fees, and tenants who moved out without making the last month’s payments—so he developed a system for tracking and collecting what every resident owed. Now a full-time investor, his annual rent collections are more than $1 million gross, and he’s finally ready to share his secrets for collecting MORE than your scheduled income with OREIA. He’ll share:

Mike Butler hails from Louisville, Ky., where he made his first million in real estate while working a full-time job as an undercover cop.

“Short Sales Made Smart and Simple” with Shaun McCloskey

No question about it, short sales are the wave of the present—and the future. With nearly 2 million U.S. homes expected to go into foreclosure in 2009 alone, there are endless desperate sellers right in your own back yard who would LOVE to have you fix their problem by negotiating a pennies-on-the-dollar payoff with their banks—and don’t care one bit that you’ll make tens of thousands of dollars in the process.

The problem is, most short sale education makes it sound like every deal you do will be quick, easy, painless, and successful—and according to Shaun McCloskey (and about a billion real-life short sale investors we know), that’s just not the truth. Shaun is one of the few short sale experts you’ll ever meet who’s honest about the pros and cons—and tells you how to meet the challenges of this strategy head-on. It’s Shaun’s first time at OREIA, and he’ll explain:
