We've slowly been stepping outside of our normal classes on ActiveRain University and inviting folks to join us who are experts (I consider anyone smarter than me to be an expert and these folks certainly qualify there) in something or other. So far it's been mostly internet marketing type stuff, Facebook, Youtube, Advanced Blogging.......and Chris, Katerina and Rich have done a great job of providing excellent content.

The last couple of weeks we had Melissa Zavala join us for a series of classes about short sales (stepping even further outside the comfort zone.....this is hard for me, believe me. Not because the content isn't great, but because I'm a creature of habit)

This week we've walked off the plank. We are completely outside the wheelhouse of what you would expect to find at ActiveRain University. Or at least what you would have expected to find in the past.

On Thursday, December 15th at 9am Pacific Time (That's Noon Eastern Time for the time challenged amongst us) I am going to have Edwin Kelly, the Director of Education for Equity Trust Company joining me at ActiveRain University. Edwin is going to be discussing how you can generate consistent commissions with real estate IRA's.

If you are anything like me, you might be thinking......say what? (I told you already, I make sure the presenters are smarter than I am)

I'll let the guys at Equity Trust explain:

Discover proven strategy to uncover new clients that are repeat purchasers and tap into unlimited funding sources to close stalled deals (Hint: It has NOTHING to do with Banks)

A new, steady stream of commissions could be coming your way thanks to the little-known and often mis-understood strategy of Real Estate IRAs. Discover the power Real Estate IRAs could have on your earning potential from the leaders of the self-directed IRA industry, Equity Trust Company.

Join Edwin Kelly, Director of Education of Equity Trust Company, as he reveals how using RealEstate IRAs could open up a whole new source of potential clients, real estate investors, that transact multiple times a year – even multiple times a month. You’ll also learn how to close deals that get stalled by funding concerns by steering buyers to IRAs/401(k)s.

During this special event, Edwin details real estate IRA benefits, the simple ways to get started, the rules behind them, while dispelling any myths. In business since 1974, Equity Trust has more than 130,000 clients and $10 Billion in assets under custody.

Don’t miss your chance to learn how to earn more commissions with this growing strategy.


Many of your clients need this information. There are investors out there that would die to be aligned with a real estate agent that can help them open up a whole new source of funding for their real estate investments. You owe it to yourself. You owe it to your clients (and your potential clients) to get educated about some of the opportunities available in the market.

It's a FREE one hour class. I promise this won't be an hour long sales pitch. These guys don't do business unless you are doing business. There is no course to sign up for and no $99 book to buy. Edwin is going to educate you on a strategy that could differentiate you in your market. With 2012 on the horizon, differentiation is the key to a successful year.

How are you going to provide more value for your clients in 2012?

Hmmmm. You can't always duplicate a great seminar/webinar. But, it's good that you'll be hosting it again at a more convenient time for the majority of us. Thanks. We'll all be looking for the announcement...

I did my first self directed IRA deal about 20 years ago. I was a builder and the client pulled money out which we build a spec house from. Missed the class but the concept works fairly easy with the right team which may include you, the title co. attorney, and/or accountant.
