Tony Youngs is coming to town!

And if you’ve ever wondered how experienced investors find deals before everyone else even knows they exist, this is a meeting you do not want to miss.

This month, we’re welcoming nationally known real estate investor, educator, and creator of the “Hidden Market” system, Tony Youngs, for a practical training on finding off-market opportunities, working with motivated sellers, and uncovering deals hiding in plain sight.

One major focus will be pre-foreclosures — a category of motivated sellers where investors can often create a true win-win scenario. Done correctly, these deals can help homeowners avoid a worse financial outcome while giving investors access to opportunities that never make it to the MLS.

But of course, that raises a lot of questions:

  • How do you find them?
  • How do you approach the owners?
  • How can you actually help them?
  • How do you navigate the technicalities with the banks?
  • How do you make offers that protect you while still helping the seller?
  • And how do you do all of this legally, ethically, and effectively?

That’s exactly why you need to be at this month’s main meeting.

Tony has been investing since 1986 and has been involved in more than a thousand successful real estate transactions. He built his career around finding distressed, unlisted single-family properties — the kind with no for-sale signs, no public advertising, and far less competition.

He’ll be sharing practical, real-world strategies for finding hidden-market opportunities, creating your own lists of probate, absentee-owner, vacant, and distressed property leads, building rapport with sellers, understanding foreclosure opportunities, and getting better at making offers.

And here’s the thing: Tony isn’t just worth learning from because of what he knows — although the expertise in his noggin is plenty of reason on its own.

He’s also the kind of stand-up, salt-of-the-earth, good-hearted person you actually want to learn from. He knows this business, he knows how to teach it, and he understands that good investing should create better outcomes for everyone involved.

Whether you’re brand new and still trying to understand where real deals actually come from, or you’ve been investing for years and want a sharper edge in today’s competitive market, this meeting will give you a fresh look at how to uncover opportunities others are missing.

And we’re so confident you’ll want to keep learning from Tony that he’ll be coming back for additional, more in-depth workshops where we’ll dive even deeper into these topics.

So you mayyyy want to keep your calendar open on May 30th and June 20–22nd. 😉

Because as Tony says:

If you’re not making offers, you’re not making money.
