 Finding Funds for Real Estate Investing

with
Joedy Patrick
of
Entrust Great Lakes, LLC

 August 12, 2010 

With the tightening of the credit markets, every investor is experiencing challenges in finding capital for their real estate investing.  It's currently the number one roadblock for most.  Despite this, there are several local real estate investors on Facebook that share their successes in flipping houses and more you may never hear about.

How are they doing it without loans from banks?

They've overcome their fears and are using other people's money!

To assist you in following a similar path, this month our speaker will be Joedy Patrick with Entrust Great Lakes, LLC.  Entrust administers over 1,000 self-directed IRA's, one of the best & easiest ways of using other people's money.  Joedy is also a real estate broker, real estate school owner and a 25 year real estate investor.  He currently owns 11 properties financed through retirement accounts.  So he "walks the walk" and practices what he preaches.  Joedy will offer practical information on how to increase your real estate investing using retirement accounts.

Join us to take the next step in your real estate investing career!
