Opening My Black Book
Opening My Black Book: The Most Powerful ICOR Benefit Ever Created
After 18 years of building relationships across Colorado and the nation, I’m about to do something I’ve never done before: open my entire network to ICOR members through our new ICOR Expert Office Hours program.
Let me tell you what prompted this decision.
Last month, I was riding along with a multi-millionaire investor when he hit a critical problem that could have cost him his entire portfolio. Within 15 minutes, I had the right expert on the phone who not only understood the exact issue but solved it immediately. As we drove away, he looked at me and said, “That man owes you a bottle of outstanding wine, because you just handed him $50,000 of new business annually and saved my butt in the process!”
That’s when it hit me. I’ve spent nearly two decades becoming what people call a “serial connector.” When top investors across the country run into problems, they call me asking, “Do you know someone who can help with…” The answer is almost always yes.
Your Problems Need Solutions, Not Seminars
Here’s what I’ve learned: when you’re in the trenches of real estate investing, you don’t need another “how-to” session. You need immediate access to people who have already solved the exact problem you’re facing.
That contractor who disappeared with your deposit? I know attorneys who specialize in construction disputes and can get results fast.
That syndication structure that’s keeping you up at night? I have direct access to securities attorneys who wrote the playbook on this stuff.
That tax strategy you’re unsure about? I know CPAs who have saved investors millions and can review your specific situation.
The IRS notice that just arrived? I can connect you with tax attorneys who eat these problems for breakfast.
The Network You’ve Never Had Access To
My “black book” includes:
- The most successful investors from Colorado and over 120 markets across the US
- Real estate attorneys who handle everything from basic contracts to complex partnerships and joint ventures
- Landlord-tenant attorneys who can navigate Colorado’s trickiest eviction situations
- Syndication attorneys who structure deals for the biggest players in the country
- Tax attorneys who fight the IRS and win
- CPAs who specialize in real estate tax optimization
These aren’t just names in a directory. These are personal relationships built over 18 years of mutual respect and shared success. When I call, they answer. When ICOR members call through this program, they’ll get the same treatment.
How ICOR Expert Office Hours Works:
Every 2nd and 4th Tuesday at 11 AM (starting in August), we’re bringing these experts directly to you via Zoom in a format designed for real-world problem solving:
11:00-11:45 AM: Expert in the hot seat for brief updates on current market conditions, recent legal changes, or new strategies, followed by open Q&A where you bring your actual situations and get real solutions.
11:45 AM-12:15 PM: “Haves & Wants” networking session where members connect with each other for deals, resources, and partnerships.
The beauty of Zoom:
- Participate from your desk
- Listen while driving between properties
- Or dial in from a job site. Perfect for busy investors who need flexibility without sacrificing access to critical expertise.
Hot Seat Guests will be announced:
- During each session, the next session’s guest and hotseat expert will be announced
- Look for the next session’s guest and hotseat expert in Saturday’s e-newsletter
Register at www.ICORockies.com/Events, and a Zoom link will be emailed to you. You’ll also receive the link again approximately one hour before each session.
This isn’t education for the sake of education. This involves crisis prevention and rapid problem-solving with individuals who have encountered every imaginable scenario.
Why This Changes Everything
We’re living in uncertain times. Interest rates are shifting. Tax laws are changing. Market conditions are evolving daily. The investors who thrive aren’t the ones with the most knowledge; they’re the ones with the best connections.
You can spend weeks researching a problem online, or you can get on a call with someone who solved the same issue last month for another investor. Instead of wrestling with problems alone, you’ll connect with seasoned investors and experts who’ve already navigated these exact challenges. These aren’t just service providers—they’re successful real estate entrepreneurs who understand the isolation that comes with building wealth.
My Social Equity Is Your Strategic Advantage
I’ve never talked much about my network because it felt like bragging. But watching successful investors struggle with problems I could solve with one phone call made me realize I was doing ICOR members a disservice by keeping these connections to myself.
My social equity is worth millions. Not in dollars, but in access, speed, and solutions. Starting this August, that equity becomes your strategic advantage.
Don’t Sleep on This One
I’ll be honest: we create incredible programs that sometimes get overlooked. Members focus on the monthly meetings or the big events, but miss the quiet, powerful resources that could transform their investing.
This is different. This isn’t just another meeting. This is direct access to the network that I spent 18 years building, delivered in a format designed for busy investors who need solutions, not seminars.
Mark your calendars: Second and fourth Tuesdays at 11 AM, starting August 13th.
When problems arise (and they will), you’ll know exactly where to go.
After 18 years of connecting others, it’s time to connect with you!
