The Deeds team heads to FinCon 2023 in New Orleans this week to learn how to create a solid financial foundation from Tiffany Grant (Money Talks w/ Tiff). She shares ideas on structuring your loans, building an emergency fund, having the right amount of insurance, finding the right people to help, and more. It's an important episode for all of our Deeders in the community hoping to build their empire correctly from the beginning. This episode MIGHT slow down your investment approach, but it'll save you plenty of hassles later when you're on solid ground and other investors who cut corners are having to tear apart their hard-earned portfolio of properties. Before that we dive into the ugly world of real estate seminars, after a member of the popular Breakfast Club podcast is accused of potentially recommending a person who ended up stealing from seminar attendees. We'll share details about what happened and some news from the Federal Trade Commission that can help you avoid some painful problems down the road. And finally, we answer a question from a Deeder who wonders if she should invest in a property or put money into a real estate investment trust. We'll explain the difference and tell her which we think is the best strategy…along with sharing ideas of our favorite resources (besides ours) for real estate investing advice. All of that and more on today's show. Hope you can join us! Enjoy!
