10:30am – 11:45am | Grapevine D - Convention Center - Level 3

Who this session is for: If you have $200k in income (or $300k with your spouse) or $1M in net assets not including your primary residence (or if you expect to have these in the next year), this session is for you.

Why should you attend: Do you want to be a real estate investor? Do you dream of putting your capital to work, hedging your investments against inflation, and making money while you sleep? Do you want to buy investment property, but the idea of managing tenants and toilets turns you away?

In Real Property Management’s seminar on real estate investing, learn how real estate can help you realize the dream of financial freedom.

Topics covered in this session will include:

• Real estate investing basics - simplifying the complex.
• What to look for in an investment.
• How to know what to believe.
• Current real estate market conditions and market forecast.

Don’t buy a job… Buy an investment! Let Real Property Management take the headaches and make your investing easy and profitable.
