INVESTOR TAKES MEETUP TO A NEW LEVEL STEPHANIE B. MOJICA
“We are working with people right now
to buy in Seattle,” Pantak said. “Why?
To me, houses are a short term solution to get
into apartments
Because a starter home in Texas is
$100,000 to $150,000 while the same
basic house in Seattle is $200,000 to
$300,000. Just double the numbers —
for the same amount of time and effort,
one can make twice as much in Seattle
as in Texas.”
On the other hand, a similar house would cost anywhere from $400,000 to $600,000 in the San Francisco Bay
Area, according to Pantak. Thus finding deals and cash flow for single-family houses in that part of the country
is virtually impossible, especially for inexperienced investors.
“One thing that people will always need is safe, affordable housing,” Pantak said. “So start by buying what you
can — which we call wholesaling. Start in the area you can buy, like the Baltic Avenue, in the Monopoly game.
You then take that money and move up to St. Charles Place, and you buy one green house and then another.
Eventually you trade in your four green houses for a red hotel, or in our case, an apartment complex. You do not
start at Boardwalk, but you can end up there as many people have.”
Joining a local Meetup group geared toward real estate entrepreneurs or attending meetings of professional
chapters of organizations such as the Real Estate Investors Association (REIA) is an easy and free way to get
started. Pantak and his associates also offer a number of free teleseminars and webinars each month; this type
of “virtual” education enables people from any part of the United States, or even the world, to gain Pantak’s 30
years of expertise without paying any fees whatsoever.
“We also have very experienced and successful investors speak and share their wisdom, both at live meetings
and through all of the technology of webinars and conference calls,” Pantak added. “There are really no good
excuses if you are serious about making better choices for your future.”

Kansas City, or markets with "Cash Flow", you might want to learn more about what Mark is doing at Equity
