May Night Meeting – 5/20/2021 Featuring Jeff & Lynn Marchant + Roger Jacobsen
May 13, 2021 by
TOPICS:
KEYNOTE: ““Loving, Learning, Leverage, Land Lording and Lifestyle Legacy”
“Would you rather Fix and Flip 10 homes earning $200k or 1 Flip earning $200k”
Jeff and Lynn met in 1989, married in 1990 and their 1st baby came in 1991. Even though their total combined income their first year together was only $8,000, they were still able to pick up their 1st rental property using seller financing.
Over the next several years, while owning and operating a successful landscape company and investing on the side, they built their real estate portfolio to it’s peak of 60 properties in 2005.
Although their main objective was buy-and-hold for passive cashflow, they have also done extensive fix-and-flips, lease-options, and seller-finance deals.
Jeff became a licensed Realtor in 2009 and focused his efforts on two types of people.
One was the families and individuals who were facing foreclosure and had no equity. The first objective was to help them get a loan modification so they could keep their home, and secondary was to short-sale the home.
The other was the buyers/investors looking to build a portfolio of real estate for retirement as he and Lynn had done.
Lynn waited until their youngest child was out of high school before getting her real estate license in 2014.
Today, they are consistently in the Top 500 Realtors in the Salt lake Board and self manage their portfolio that currently sits at 42 properties consisting of 3 commercial buildings, 5 multi-units, and the rest being single-family homes.
They are also very proud that their 3 children, Ashley, Sydney and Chase, are all licensed Realtors and work together with them as the Marchant Real Estate Group, brokered by eXp Realty.
Roger bought his first flip at age 22. As a carpet cleaner he realized that the cost to pay contractors to do all the work on his house would cost too much, so he decided to get “into” construction. Roger became a Concrete mason, then moved into Ironworking, Finish Carpentry, Cabinet Install, Cabinet Building, Framing, Wood Siding, and finally became a contractor in 2001. He has specialized in high-end Finish Carpentry and Remodeling since. He has worked on The McCune Mansion, Jon Huntman Jr’s house, the Largest and Longest Houseboat in Utah and many other awesome projects. Roger bought his first Buy-and-Hold in 2011 and still owns it and 2 others. Roger became a RE Agent in 2016 and works under Randall Wall at Equity Real Estate. Roger is becoming a Wholesaler and is Loving that more than any of his other “jobs.” Roger is a member of UtahREIA, UVREIA and SLREIA. Roger loves helping people with ALL their questions and needs.

April Luncheon – 4/8/2021 Featuring Jason Roberts and Rachel Schneider
March 18, 2021 by
TOPIC: 3 Under-utilized Marketing Strategies to Succeed in 2021
THURS. 4/8/2021 NOON – 1:00PM MST – Virtual Over Zoom
In 2001, while still in their early 20’s, Jason Roberts and Rachel Schneider decided that working for someone else at a “regular job” was not a good long-term plan.
They decided to make a big change…and take charge of their own destiny by opening a mortgage company. They eventually built that business into a multimillion-dollar company, where they closed over 3,000 real estate transactions.
Then the market crashed and they had to find a new way to use their real estate talents. That’s when they went into real estate investing and started down a new path. Implementing the real estate strategies, they honed over time, they have since closed well over 400 real estate transactions, including pre-foreclosures, short sales, wholesales, probates, and all other types of deals.
They then decided to make another big change and start sharing their knowledge with other investors. They now run a top coaching program with the nation’s leading investors, own a profitable hard money lending company with over 2 million dollars in loans out to their coaching students at any given time, and continue to be co-owners of their local REIA…all while continuing to flip houses using the exact systems they teach!
March Night Meeting – 03/18/2021: Featuring Aaron Marshall & John Maxim
March 4, 2021 by
KEYNOTE SPEAKER: AARON MARSHALL “Cancer Surviving Cash-Flow King!”
With 18+ years of experience successfully selling and managing real estate properties, my approach is simple: building great relationships is primary and the foundation to success. As a hands-on CEO and committed franchise leader, I love that I get to help others succeed in the real estate market and build their own business.
I know real estate and property management inside and out. In just over a 10-year period, I sold more than 1500 homes, and throughout my career I’ve been blessed to receive recognition and awards for my real estate expertise, including being ranked #98 in the Wall Street Journal’s Top 400 Sales Professionals Nationwide and Realtor of the Year (2008), plus consistently being part of the top 50 of Keller Williams’s teams (2008-2010). I can attest that real estate is truly the best investment – people will always need a place to live, no matter what the economy.
As CEO, co-owner, and co-founder of Keyrenter, every day I get to work with passionate franchisees and help them achieve their dream of owning a successful property management business. A steadfast believer in the golden rule, I strive to lead by example and manage every property as if it were my own. And I also enjoy talking with folks who are thinking about becoming a franchisee – it’s always a joy to be able to answer burning questions and provide real, in the trenches examples from my own experience.
Whether for business or pleasure, I love to travel and, since business is what drives me, I’ve always got a great business book I’m reading. I also love the sand dunes, riding my motorcycle, and spending time with my wonderful family.

SPEAKER: JOHN MAXIM “High Volume vs Profitable Flipping in 2021”
At an early age in Portland Oregon John learned how easy it was to win at Monopoly if you could play as the banker and cheat. This might have had something to do with how John ended up being a Real Estate Investor, but probably not since even after he bought his first house and rented it to all his friends he still thought he wanted to be an entomologist when he grew up.
Now a days, when you spend time with John you will mostly get to hear him complain about what monsters his 4 kids are… why his wife made him sleep on the couch the night before… and how he can’t find his keys. Be careful, he still cheats at Monopoly.
John has had and continues to have many great adventures in real estate. It started buying his first house when he was 21 and renting it to 9 other bachelors so he could live off the rent and not have a job (unless you consider donating plasma a job). Since, John has fumbled through a lot of investor type stuff, his resume reads something like this— closed hundreds of retail real estate transactions as agent, originated 50ish loans as a loan officer, built a few dozen spec homes, flipped a few houses, shook in the fetal position during the “great recession”, got something like 19 foreclosures on his credit, lit a car on fire, negotiated hundreds of loan modifications post crash, picked up some rental property along the way, obtained a broker’s license and started his own brokerage, Tree Fort Realty, flipped and wholesaled hundreds of houses, started a property management company, Rhino Property Management that manages nearly 400 doors, and in 2021 currently maintains a flip inventory of between 30 and 50 homes at once.

He heard this quote when he first got into real estate, and it has stuck with him throughout his entire career. In fact, it’s essentially one of the core values Steve lives by.
