Thank you for connecting
with Realty411 magazine
once again.
Since 2007, Realty411 has been
hosting events and publishing
important resources for the masses to
learn real estate investing. I've
probably met thousands of people
personally by now all over the
country, investors of all experience
levels — from the newcomer to the
advanced rehabber.
I've spoken with inventors just
getting started, as well as national
landlords of multimillion dollar
portfolios. What a thrill to know
they read our publication, visit our
website, and follow us online!
Hopefully, we'll have a chance to
meet you in person soon too. You
see, networking really is the key to
success in this business. As a matter
of fact, I'd like to share a success
story about one of our expo guests
who recently engaged in a joint
partnership with one of our
educators, Alton Jones. This
amazing business relationship and
friendship began at our Realty411
networking event.
Alton, a former LAPD officer, is
an investor and mentor. He spoke at
one of our real estate investing expos
in Southern California last year where
he met a Realty411 reader. That
individual signed up to become one of
Alton's students, and they began a joint
venture (JV) business relationship.
Fast forward over one year later,
now Alton and our Realty411 reader
are closing a real estate transaction in
one week for over $1.375M. Plus,
the partnership worked out so well,
they've decided to continue working
on two more transactions.
In fact, our Realty411 reader and
Alton will be generating $500K in
gross revenues from multiple deals
together! When I heard this, I
jumped out of my chair and cheered
— you'd think I was the one cashing
that big, fat check. Honestly, it just
feels amazing knowing that Realty411
brought two wonderful people together
who TOOK ACTION and made it
happen!
For me, as the founder and publisher,
knowing we are positively impacting
people's lives is the most rewarding
aspect of my professional life.
This is not the only successful
Realty411 true story, I have so many
others to share, and I will be doing so
in future editions. Folks, Realty411 is
truly assisting investors in building
wealth and igniting a passion of real
estate in many people. Our publications
