TWO-DAY ONLINE Real Estate Investor Basic Training: The No-BS Guide to What You Need to Know Before You Do Your First Deal

with... Vena Jones-Cox

Serious about making real estate investing or flipping a significant source of income? Skip the hype. Learn to find off-market deals, value, fund and negotiate them, and avoid costly mistakes. Start with the skills you need to do real deals right.

Real estate investing didn’t start with TikTok, YouTube, or the last crazy-hot housing market.

For decades, ordinary people have built income and wealth by buying, selling, renting, financing, and creatively controlling real estate—in high-interest-rate markets and low ones, booms and recessions, buyers’ markets and sellers’ markets.

The market changes. The fundamentals of doing a successful deal don’t.

And if you’re serious about making real estate investing or flipping a significant source of income, those fundamentals are what you need to learn FIRST.

Not hype. Not the latest “secret strategy.” Not how somebody on social media supposedly bought 37 houses with no money, no credit, and no experience.

You need to know how real investors recognize, evaluate, finance, negotiate, and profit from good deals. That’s what this two-day Basic Training is about.

Your Instructor

Vena Jones-Cox has been investing for 35 years and has completed more than 2,000 flips, rentals, lease/options, seller-financed deals, private loans, creative acquisitions, and off-market deals through multiple real estate cycles. She knows from experience that successful investors don’t depend on the market to make them successful—they depend on knowing how to do good deals.

Over these two days, you’ll learn:
What a “successful deal” really means—because buying a property isn’t the goal. Buying one that produces the income or profit you intended is.
The 5 basic exit strategies—wholesale, retail, rental, rent-to-own, and sell with financing—and how to recognize which makes sense for you and the property.
How real investors find off-market deals where there’s an opportunity to get a better price, better terms, or both.
How to determine what a property is actually worth BEFORE you make an offer, so you know whether you really have a deal.
How to finance deals when you have money and credit, including hard money, DSCR loans, and conventional financing.
How to finance and control properties WITHOUT your own cash and credit, using subject-to, owner financing, and master leases.
How to negotiate more effectively and uncover what a seller really needs.
How to avoid the costly mistakes new investors make over and over again.
How to get the help you need to do your first deals without paying a fortune for it.

The goal isn’t to bury you in 100 clever techniques. It’s to give you a foundation: how to look at a property, ask the right questions, figure out the numbers, choose the right strategy, find the financing—and recognize when something that looks like a “deal” really ISN’T one.

Those are the skills successful investors use in every market.
