I'm sitting here in Montauk, NY with 4 beautiful ladies! (My fiance and 3 nieces).
The DM and his ladies
We're winding down after a WILD and EXCITING past couple of days. I’m exhausted exhilarated at the same time. I literally invested nearly six figures to throw an event. Most people would think I’m crazy for dropping that much money.
Was it worth it? Read on to decide...
Motivated Seller Leads Delivered To Motivated Investors
It all started a week and a half ago – on Wednesday, June 17. A small group of 15 investors came into my hometown (Columbus Ohio) to learn the business from me personally.
I know a lot of the “real estate investing gurus” out there hold big events and make their money (in fact, a lot of them don’t even bother investing anymore). But that’s not how I roll. This was a two-day total immersion and total-implementation event. It’s incredibly hands-on.
Each were handed 100+ HOT leads ready for them to call and make money on with me right by their side. It was a powerful day of massive action as each one started doing deals almost right away.
Deal-A-Thon Action-Takers
Thursday was just as powerful – each one implementing what they learned as they I took them by the hand and guided them.
Thursday was also my 36th birthday, I took them all out to dinner at a steakhouse Hyde Park and rented out the entire room for us with black car service. I wanted to treat them for a nice dinner after a day of being immersed in the business. It's always good to wind down :)
Supper at Hyde Park – Wish YOU were here!
Why Am I Sharing This With You?
Simple... I would love to have you attend one a Deal-A-Thon next time.
It’s a small group, it’s insanely hands-on, and you get a ton of motivated seller leads so you can’t help to jumpstart your business immediately.
But there is a cost. It isn't "chump change"... but I'm not here to try and give you a bargain or "charge the least". My goal is to charge the most and give the most in return. It's $5K per person.
Now I realize that $5K might be expensive to some people but that’s exactly why I charge it. I want you to have some “skin in the game” when you show up. I’ve learned from experience that the people who actually plunk down a lot of money – money that you have to “scrimp and save” to get your hands on – will more likely motivate you to take massive action with the highly values HOT motivated seller leads I give you.
Believe it or not, that was only the first two days. I’m only half done :) ...
Here’s Where It Gets Insane...
After getting home from my amazing Hyde Park steak dinner and birthday party at 11PM, I was up at 5AM Friday morning ready to roll to the largest house giveaway event I've ever done.
(We had over 150 people from all over the world come in to Columbus, OH for this!)
Friday was all day training... we went from 8AM to 7PM. We met some really cool people during the event and in between, there was a VIP lunch, and event an “Ask-Me-Anything” question and answer session where I answered a barrage of questions from action-taking investors. (If you weren’t there, ask someone who was – there were a ton of questions and I answered them all).
Afterward we all went to the bar area for a few hours to talk with the group and buy drinks and share how to accomplish TRUE financial freedom.
Saturday morning I was at the hotel at 7:30AM... with 3 busses waiting to take the attendees on a house tour around town.
Loading up one of the 3 busses
I wanted to show them what types of homes we were buying ... what to look for... and how we buy these homes from afar. The crazy part is... this was the first time I've seen some of the homes I own myself!!!
It was an awesome time ... that went from 8-12 and then back to the hotel to clean up and get ready for the Home Giveaway.
I Literally Gave Away A House – For Free
We arrived at the house as renovations and decorations were winding up. Imagine what the neighbors thought when 3 busses and the TV news trucks pulled up and descended on the quiet street! I had to hire a couple of police officers just to help direct all the cars and people!
The House Giveaway Ribbon Cutting
It was such a touching ceremony -- quick but touching -- as the lady who was the recipient (her name is Vernice) saw her son Eryk for the first time in 5 months. This went down at 2PM with The Ohio State Buckeye legend Maurice Clarett.
Me, Vernice, and Maurice – It was amazing to give this woman and her son a hand-up
The Fun’s Not Over Yet!
Afterward we got back on the buses and headed back to the hotel for the big Birthday Bash! We got our nice attire on and I rented an entire bar/club downtown Columbus out for us with food and drinks.
Now this isn't about me... it's actually the opposite... it's about the clients and investors and aspiring deal-makers who came to Ohio and showed up ready to learn and grow.
It Was My Birthday But I Gave Everything Away
When you love what you do, and you do it right (meaning you don't focus on what you're spending as a cost... but rather you think of it as an investment) you'll be in a different league.
I can 100% tell you this and know that I left nothing out for them. I gave it my all – and even my team, as I flew them out to help. I answered every question I was asked, I delivered thousands of motivated seller leads, I showed exactly how to find cash buyers. I know I changed people’s lives (they told me) – and that makes every penny I spent on the event worthwhile.
But don’t take my word for it. I got TONS of testimonials back from investors who attended the event, learned a lot, loved every minute of it, and wrote back to me to tell me. Here are three of those testimonials:
It was an awesome 2 days in Columbus, Mark showed us how real this business is. One of the best things was watching Mark make live calls to prospects that had responded to a postcard marketing campaign. It was exciting to hear him feel the guy out, negotiate and make a deal and then send a contract out to the seller. It was also very educational to go to the homes that were in different stages of the process. Being at the home give away was also a great experience and motivator. Now last but not least. The party was over the top. Thank you Mark, Peter and the rest of the team. You all are the real deal. Can't wait to start working with you and I am looking forward to attending next year's Dealmaker Experience. It was great! -Robert McKee
Mark Evans and his team was amazing. The weekend was filled with content from beginning to end. There was no selling involved. Mark and his team truly wants to see you succeed. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and we had a good time. I learned so much just from that weekend alone. He and his team showed all of us that this could be done. It's not a pipe dream it is real. All you have to do is take action. -Clyde W. Boyd III
I attended Mark Evans' weekend in Columbus, Ohio on June 20-21, 2014. This weekend will CHANGE MY LIFE. Mark presented a method of making real estate deals, without using your money or credit. It actually will work. In fact, once upon a time, I did a deal similar to the deals Mark describes and made money even though I had very little idea of how to do it. Now, using Mark's information, I can confidently go ahead and do these deals and make more in a month or two than I am now making in a year. Mark made all the information very clear. He gave exact steps to follow and called on other participants in the room to validate that they had already done deals using his exact steps and that they had made money without using either their own money or their credit. The seminar itself was interesting every minute. Never a down time. We had breaks and ate lunch together and got to know the other participants. Never was I tired, bored, hungry or up tight about anything. Mark and his staff had put together a seminar that made it easy to absorb the information and made me want to get out there and do it. The live, impromptu phone calls he made to sellers and the way he talked to the sellers gave me confidence that I can talk to people and get them to give me the information I need to make a deal and make that seller confident that I can and will make the deal I propose. It was such a valuable way to present. He didn't talk about things. He showed you. I look forward to my first deal and many deals to come. Also, I look forward to going to Mark's future events and widening my point of view so I can increase my business year by year. It stretched my horizons so now I know I can help both buyers and sellers get what they want while helping myself get what I want. If you are on the fence and thinking maybe you should go to one of Mark's events, please, jump down off the fence on Mark's side and go, go, go. -June Rosenberry
It was an event that I will remember always because there were several different pieces and each one was so powerful and so life-changing. And the folks who showed up will remember it to – especially when they take what they saw and learned and use it as a launching point to become real estate investing entrepreneurs.
Your exhausted and exhilarated friend,
