SALEM, Ore., Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Recent American Dental Association figures indicate that only 6 percent of dentists nationwide retire comfortably at age 60. To help the other 94 percent achieve their retirement goals, investment expert Jerry Jones is running a real estate boot camp Feb. 16-18 in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Many dentists incorrectly believe, according to Jones, that the big money in retiring from dentistry is in the sale of their solo practices. He adds that the number of practices being purchased has dropped 10 percent in the past few years. And the odds of a dentist having a buyer for his or her practice are getting worse: 25 percent of new dentists are buying 75 percent of the start-up practices. In other words, three of four new dentists are starting from-scratch practices.
The Extreme Income Explosion II Real Estate Boot Camp for Dentists will feature:
-- The nation's top trainers and "in-the-trenches" real estate
millionaire/experts, including Jones, Ron LeGrand(R) and Ted Thomas(TM)
-- Successful dentist/participants from last year's event - which
attracted more than 170 attendees - sharing their experiences
-- Q&A with panel of expert real estate investor dentists on how to
balance the businesses of dentistry and real estate investing
-- In-depth case studies of actual deals - both current and completed -
rehabbing houses, bare land and condo/marina developments,
subdivisions, industrial properties
-- How to invest in housing foreclosures and tax certificates, plus Roth
IRA and Roth 401(k) real estate investing strategies
Tuition is $2,995 through Jan. 31 and $3,995 thereafter. Each participant will receive a comprehensive event manual. Jones is so confident of the boot camp's value that he extends a guarantee of satisfaction to attendees. More details are available at http://www.realestateforbusydentists.com/.
Jones also has an information-packed blog on the subject at http://www.realestateforbusydentists.blogspot.com/. Visitors can sign up for a free e-newsletter on real estate wealth-building tips and learn about everything from due diligence to how to create a subdivision.
