Round Table Discussions
Four Great Speakers. Four Focused Conversations.

Join us for one of our favorite meetings of the year--an interactive forum where experienced professionals lead in-depth discussions on the strategies and realities shaping today’s real estate market. Participants rotate between tables, gaining exposure to all four topics and the opportunity to engage directly with each speaker. Rather than a traditional lecture format, this experience is structured to encourage participation, deeper exploration, and candid exchange.

Come prepared to ask meaningful questions in a small-group setting, learn along your peers, and leave with practical insight you can apply in your business.

Online Masterclass: Mastering Creative Finance Negotiation with Vena Jones-Cox

Event Details:
Date: Thursday, March 14, 2026
Time: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Host: Vena Jones-Cox

Seller financing isn’t a “backup strategy.”
In this market, it’s how the best deals actually get done.

We’re seeing more motivated sellers—but many of them still want prices that don’t work with cash or
traditional financing. Creative finance often solves that problem, but only if you know how to negotiate
it.

This workshop is for investors who want to do subject to, seller financing, and lease/option deals but
aren’t sure how to talk to sellers, ask the right questions, and make offers that get accepted.

You’ll learn:

• Which sellers are most open to creative deals
• How to uncover the real reasons they’re selling
• How to overcome objections
• When and how to present offers
• How to use multiple offers to increase your odds

The workshop will be recorded and all registrants will receive the recording, so register even if you
can’t attend live—plus, it has a 100% satisfaction guarantee (and a very cheap entry fee!)

Remember, to actually reserve your seat, you have to go HERE and register on our website!
