“It was fantastic! I was a beginning investor with only one property struggling to find the financing for my second deal. I’ve since closed four more deals that I wouldn’t have been able to do without Pine Financial. Also, the networking opportunities have been great. Being able to discuss deals with other investors, find contractors and property managers has been crucial in allowing us to grow our investment portfolio.” – Scott Eskridge, Investor/Lender
“The Investor Success Summit was a powerful networking event for me and my company. The educational value from the speakers was great and really opened my eyes to how I can improve and expand my business. It was also the best networking event that I have been to in years. Every person I spoke to, including vendors, added value to my business and I was seen as a value to theirs. As a wholesaler, I could not have asked for a better event.” – John Brokken, Investor
