Self-Directed Real Estate
Deals: It’s About Who You
Know
Education is just one component of success-
ful self-directed investing; the other is get-
ting in front of the right people. Getting to
know those you might do business with and
learning from the experience of seasoned
investors is paramount.
The Equity University Wealth Building
Summit draws more than 500 investors from
across the country; some of them experi-
enced veterans, others relatively new to
the concept. Many of these investors either
have an investment in mind and are short on
capital, or have capital but are not yet sure
where to invest it.
The Summit offers a place for both types
of investors to connect. Throughout the
course of the weekend, there are several
opportunities to connect with as many
investors as possible. A popular conference
mainstay, Speed Networking offers a speed
dating-like setting, giving attendees the
opportunity to meet dozens of new contacts
in one sitting. The potential for new connec-
tions is multiplied, as this session is offered
a few times throughout the weekend. The
event also offers breaks in between educa-
tion sessions and designated vendor display
times to allow attendees to meet more
investors and service providers to help them
discover new opportunities and solutions for
their investment needs.
Summit Wows Bestselling

Attendees have expressed that there is
also a less tangible benefit of attending
the conference. Once they leave the event,
they’re motivated like never before to take
the vast amount of knowledge and take-
home strategies that they gained and actually
apply them.
The conference’s 2013 keynote speaker
echoes the attendees’ sentiment.
“Last year I had the absolute pleasure
of working with Equity Trust to deliver a
keynote presentation to their 500-plus at-
tendees,” says financial expert and nine-time
New York Times bestselling author David
Bach. “The energy and enthusiasm of those
that attended was simply incredible. You
could really feel the sense of community at
this event that Equity Trust has built over the
years.”
