How to Invest and Grow Your Wealth in Real Estate

 

Some of you know me as a Principal; more recently, I've become known as both a Realtor and an Educator. I’m excited to bring those two roles together for a dynamic, four-part series:

 

I’ll be presenting this series at the Castro Valley Adult & Career Education Center, with a fantastic lineup of guest presenters who are experts in their fields.

Whether you're just beginning to explore real estate investing or already own property and want to learn more, this series is designed to help you better understand the opportunities, strategies, and potential pitfalls of real estate investing.

Each class features a special guest presenter with real-world experience in a different area of real estate investing. You'll hear directly from professionals who can take complicated concepts and explain them in straightforward, easy-to-understand terms.

Explore financing strategies, short sales, REOs, foreclosures, and other opportunities that can arise in changing markets.

Learn what it really takes to own and operate rental property—including tenant relations, maintenance, rent collection, expenses, and protecting your investment.

Learn about strategies that may allow investors to defer taxes when exchanging investment property, along with opportunities for more passive real estate investing.

Understand how investors think about cash flow, appreciation, equity, leverage, diversification, and the role real estate can play in a broader wealth-building strategy.

✔ Learn from professionals—not just textbooks
✔ Understand the language of real estate investing
✔ Discover different investment strategies
✔ Learn how investors evaluate opportunities
✔ Better understand financing and investment risk
✔ Ask questions and get answers from experienced professionals
✔ Meet others interested in building wealth through real estate

It's about understanding how the numbers work, how to manage risk, and how to recognize opportunities.

My goal is to make this an informative, practical, and engaging experience—whether you're considering your first investment, looking to expand your portfolio, or simply want to understand how successful real estate investors think.
