Double-Dip Investing:
Real Estate Meets Retirement Wealth

We have some incredibly powerful examples of how our Great Lake members are socking retirement funds at a truly amazing magnitude
You’ve heard of IRAs and Roth IRAs.
But what if you could use that same money to fund real estate deals, earn amazing returns, and do it all tax-free or tax-deferred?
That’s exactly what Self-Directed IRAs are designed for—and why we’re bringing in the pros from CamaPlan, one of National REIA’s trusted sponsors.
Join Owen Lynn and Joe Fulvio for an eye-opening presentation on:
๐น How self-directed IRAs & Roth IRAs actually work (and what makes them different from the “regular” ones your broker sells)
๐น The kinds of real estate deals and alternative investments you can do with them (and the things you absolutely cannot)
๐น How to keep your investments compliant while still making them creative and profitable
๐น Common myths and mistakes that trip people up—and how to avoid them
๐น Real-world examples of investors growing their wealth with these tools
You’ll walk away knowing exactly how to tap into retirement funds you already have, structure deals the right way from the start, and avoid the costly mistakes that can derail your returns—whether you’re funding your own projects or partnering with others.
Come ready to ask your own questions and get answers that are grounded in real-world experience.
๐ถFirst time? You’re in luck. Your first meeting is free—just claim your free guest pass when you register.
๐ถBring a friend. For every new guest you bring, you’ll get an entry into our quarterly drawing for some seriously good prizes. And if you’re the top bringer of the year, there’s an even bigger reward waiting.
Don’t miss this opportunity to get inspired, get informed, and connect with other investors who are moving their businesses forward.
Because no GLREIA meeting is ever just a meeting…
Ready to grow your investing business, expand your network, and learn something new—no matter where you are on the journey?
Our Main Monthly Meetings are the cornerstone of what we do here at GLREIA. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or still figuring out your first steps, you’ll find value, connections, and maybe even your next deal.
What can you expect?
- Real World Education – Every month we bring in experienced voices to share insights on everything from deal structuring to market trends.
- Strong Connections – Meet local investors, lenders, and vendors who get what you do—and who can help you do it better.
- Free Appetizers – Yummy buffet-style bites to keep you going while you network and learn.
- After Hours – When the formal program wraps, stick around for more casual conversations and connection.
๐ Space is limited and we don’t want to run out of food, so click the blue button below to register and claim your seat. Free guest passes are available if you’re new—just don’t wait ‘til the last minute!
Whether you’re just getting started or you’re scaling fast, you need this information before you need it. Because “I’ll deal with it when it happens” is not a business strategy—it’s an accident waiting to happen.
