News Alert from By Lori Peebles Lady Landlords of SD from left to right: Club directors Jasmine Willois, guest speaker Sean Carpenter, and club director Jason Kennedy B ack for a progress report, Lady Landlords of San Diego owners Jasmine Willois and Jason Kennedy were originally interviewed in the October 2012 Issue of Realty411, we are excited to find out what they have been up to since. With the clubs main focus on buying and holding rental properties, they find themselves preaching a more conservative message then most investment clubs in the same industry. LLoSD, is located in sunny San Diego, CA and was founded in 2010 by Jasmine Willois to create a platform and arena where ladies and gentlemen of the craft (turn-key investing), could share experiences, networks, and partner to acquire real estate for long- term cash flow. A process that the club owners themselves take part in, as their overlying message is that true wealth is built by holding assets long-term. The club has been well received by all, currently over 55% of their members are men, and 65% of their online community is from outside of the state of California. When Realty411 caught up with Jason and Jasmine, their real estate investment club, which caters to women and cash flow investments had just opened it’s doors two years ago and they were determined to carve a spot out for the club and its members in this competitive world. And that they have done! In what seems like no time at all, the club and its owners have secured rela- tionships with Christian based AM radio station KPRZ and ESPN sports radio to discuss what’s working and what’s not working in real estate. You can catch the two of them on Jasons new show, “Fliping out with JK” on KPRZ every Saturday from 7pm – 8 pm PST Realty411Guide.com and Jason on ESPN 1700 AM with “the Bro Show” every Wednesday from 2pm – 3pm PST. Of course these two never forget about those investors out of state, so each of these programs can be heard with the corresponding app anywhere. This dynamic duo has also put together out-of-state buying tours, in response to the many inquires about how to success- fully invest out-of-state. LLoSD now offers inexpensive 2 day buying tours to it’s members and fan base. This tour allows investors of all experience levels to get their boots on the ground in the investment areas that are most intriguing to them. They will be hosting a buying tour this February 23rd in Indianapolis one of Jason and Jasmine’s favorite buy and hold towns. We are proud to offer hands-on; in the trenches tours that de- liver what investors really need. Jasmine points out, not everyone can afford to pay $45,000 for an education in real estate investing and not walk away with an asset. Jason reflects on how the times have changed by pointing out, “the flipping frenzy has calmed down a bit, and we are beginning to stand out as a club that has its head in the right place.” The clubs growth has been steady and loyal, Jason explains that, “many of the clubs members travel well over 60 miles” to get their fix of this tag team in action, so the real estate investment club is expanding to Orange County CA and will be called LLoOC! The first meeting was held November 19th, 2013 and will be held the 3rd Tuesday of every month at the DoubleTree, Dohney Beach in San Clemente. The clubs theme in addition to being about conservative real estate investing, will for fun be called THE REAL Lady Landlords of Orange County, as a play off of the canceled realty TV show. These two love what they do, and it shows!! Meeting the third Tuesday of every month, the club boasts local and national educational speakers, complimentary refreshments, PAGE 93 • 2014 networking sessions, role-playing games, a haves and wants section, and a sea of femininity. Residents of Southern California, Jason and Jasmine have been investing out of state for over 23 combined years. The two of them and have successfully held rental properties in Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, Mississippi, Florida, Chicago, North Carolina, Georgia, New Jersey, California, and now hold most of their assets in Indianapolis, IN through their real estate investment firm Wealth By Real Estate Management, LLC. Jason Kennedy, a real estate investing mentor by trade, was the perfect fit for the club, Ms. Willois states, as she describes Jason as a “true gentleman” who loves to promote and encourage women’s involvement in all that he does. “Some men are intimated by the presence of women, and some are very open to the idea of working with them. This is a place for the latter man.” Jasmine Willois is an investor analyst by trade and contributes her Wall Street experience to the club world by bringing what she calls her “bond-like” strategies to the real estate investment world. Jason describes Jasmine as “a feisty woman with direction and focus,” who loves to earn her keep. He laughs at how she is a perfect partner for the east coast business dealings they often find themselves involved with. “Our mission is to create an environment in which our members can build camaraderie, share tested investment techniques, and promote responsible investing through networking, and referral-based partnerships,” Jasmine says. The price of admission to their live club is $25, however investors can begin saving money by pre-registering at Meetup.com or on their website, and they will receive a $5 discount. It’s 2014, step into the pink domain of LLoSD and LLoOC. For info, visit: www.ladylandlords.com reWEALTHmag.com
