E very gathering of real estate inves- tors is a highly concentrated area of opportunity. Perhaps the most popular venue of all is the real estate investing conference or expo event, wherein educators, vendors, and hundreds of investors converge in one location to learn, connect, influence, and, hopeful- ly, do some deals. Doesn’t it seem that some investors get a lot more out of these events than others? If you feel like you just shake hands while other attendees get their deals funded, their ca- not maximizing your attendance. Good news: That’s easy to fix! In today’s highly connected world there are many, many ways to leverage event at- tendance like a pro both on- line and in person. Below are Think Realty’s top three pro tips for getting the most out of a real estate expo. 1. SIGN YOUR NAME ON EVERY LINE If you attend a real estate conference in person, you’ll be provided with am- ple opportunities to give the hosts, the exhibitors, the educators, and other in- vestors your contact information. Hand reers launched, and their portfolios padded, take a minute to review these tips. Odds, are, you simply are
it over! Check out all of the available conference materials from exhibitors and speakers online. Most will provide you with a way to sign up for more ed- ucational materials online or otherwise contact them. Attend every session that you pos- sibly can and actively engage with the speaker. Keep an ear out for real estate investing strategies that you can incorporate into your own investing toolbox. Take the time to speak personally to each presenter. You 2. ACTIVELY ATTEND AS MANY SESSIONS AS POSSIBLE
Just a note: Many conferences allow attendees to access one or more custom apps that provide additional network- ing opportunities as well as advance information about the conference. 3. LOOK AND BE PROFESSIONAL When attending a real estate confer- ence, you’re going to want to look your best. While you might forgo a suit and tie, the odds are good that you’ll wear a clean shirt, comb your hair, and make sure your breath and your business cards are fresh. This way, you feel con- fident and are more likely to network effectively and prolifically at the event. Freshen up your online presence as well. Every social media profile should feature a nice, professional picture in place for the duration of the event. Cut- ting-edge events usually stream high- lights on Facebook Live, so you may get to interact with other investors possibly the presenter. The image they see when you are visible online should be clean cut and professional, not that Throwback Thursday picture of you doing keg stands on Spring Break in college. Once you have mastered the art of truly maximizing real estate conference attendance, you will find that these events no longer feel like work and are really fun. •

Our focus is on creating multi-generational wealth for both our clients and our investors through our Cash NOW, Cash FLOW and Cash LATER system. FROM THE BLACKMARKET TO THE FREEMARKET There is going to be a vacuum in this emerging sector come 2018. With statewide legalization, the money is al- ready starting to come in. Based off our research, California is projected to do $31 Billion in adult-use cannabis sales in 2018! The opportunity is coming hard and fast.

We intend to accomplish this through the acquisition and develop- ment of commercial real estate proper-
ties that we will sell or lease back to qual- ified tenants who are already established in the cannabis industry. “We’re using Commercial Real Estate to get into the Cannabis BOOM without getting INTO the Cannabis Business and build generational wealth before it’s too late!” – Pete Asmus We also realize that strength lies in who you surround yourself with.

never know when that meeting will expand into some- thing much more. Don’t restrict
yourself to just face- to-face interactions, either. Follow the conference’s host organi- zation, the conference itself,
and as many speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors as possible on social media. Be aware of and track relevant hashtags. Check out the event’s press kit. Between officially sanctioned live streaming, real-time reporting, next-day confer- ence coverage, and all the tweeting and Facebooking that goes on organically at these events, you’ll feel like you sat in the front-row seat all day.
