How to Build a 6-Figure Real Estate Business Helping Sellers in Foreclosure

**[Note: Registering here on Meetup does NOT reserve your seat. To reserve your seat, please register on our website, [HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=IN-COLUMBUS-How-to-Build-a-6-Figure-Real-Estate-Business-Helping-Sellers-in-Foreclosure-14-8-15-2026).]** Most investors think foreclosure opportunities begin at the auction. The truth is, by then, many of the best opportunities have already passed. The real opportunity is in **pre-foreclosure**, when homeowners still have options, investors can actually see the property before buying it, and everyone has a chance to create a solution that benefits both the seller and the investor. And that’s becoming more important than ever. As more homeowners struggle with rising housing costs and financial pressure, investors who understand pre-foreclosures will have opportunities that simply aren’t available once a property reaches the auction or becomes bank-owned. But succeeding in pre-foreclosures takes more than sending postcards or making offers. You need to understand what homeowners are experiencing, how to communicate with them, and how to structure deals that truly solve their problems. That’s exactly what Dwan & Bill Twyford will teach during this intensive two-day workshop. With more than **80 years of combined real estate investing experience**, they’ve built successful businesses by helping homeowners in pre-foreclosure while creating profitable deals through subject-to investing, short sales, creative financing, and other proven strategies. **During this two-day workshop, you’ll learn:** • How to successfully market to homeowners in pre-foreclosure • What to say when you first talk with sellers—including real-world conversation scripts • Strategies for working with sellers who have substantial equity • How to negotiate profitable short sales when little or no equity exists • Subject-To investing and other creative financing techniques • Multiple exit strategies for pre-foreclosure deals • How to build a business that consistently generates leads instead of constantly chasing them Whether you’re buying your first investment property or building a full-time investing business, you’ll leave with practical systems and strategies you can begin using immediately. 📅 **August 15–16, 2026** 📍**Attend in person in Columbus, Ohio** — Register **[HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=IN-COLUMBUS-How-to-Build-a-6-Figure-Real-Estate-Business-Helping-Sellers-in-Foreclosure-14-8-15-2026)** 💻 **Attend virtually from anywhere** — Register **[HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=Online-Meeting-How-to-Build-a-6-Figure-Real-Estate-Business-Helping-Sellers-in-Foreclosure-14-8-15-2026)** One of the biggest benefits of attending in person isn’t just the education—it’s the people you’ll meet.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Voice Agents and AI

**“I’m Sorry, Can You Repeat That?”** **\- When and Why Voice Agents Fail** Every contact center leader has heard it: a caller repeating their name three times, getting more frustrated with each attempt. The dashboards look clean. Containment is up, confidence scores look fine. The system looks like it’s working, but your customer just had their worst interaction of the week, and none of your metrics caught it. Analyzing voice-driven customer experience today means chasing answers across a dozen scattered signals, transcripts, sentiment scores, handle times, escalation rates, without a comprehensive map of the thing you’re actually measuring: a conversation. That map exists, and it’s called linguistics. With it, the scattered signals fall into their right spots and order, and you stop patching symptoms and start diagnosing the experience. The map starts with a simple model. Every conversation runs on two channels: the form (sounds, words, timing, turns) and the meaning (the task, the situation, the feeling). Customers keep both channels aligned, with each other and with their partner’s, continuously and without thinking. A voice agent that serves them well has to do the same: keeping its form and meaning channels aligned, with each other, and with the customer’s, constantly and seamlessly. The map survives every technology shift, because it describes the conversation, not the implementation. From it, you get both halves of the job: design questions for building better customer experiences, and a matrix that turns “the customer was frustrated” or “the bot just didn’t get it” into concrete, measurable, fixable failure modes, the missing rows in your voice-of-customer analysis. Who this is for: CX and customer service leaders, analysts working with call and chat data, voice AI practitioners, and anyone who’s watched clean dashboards while their customers quietly suffered. **About our Speaker:** [Midam Kim](https://www.linkedin.com/in/midamkim/) is an ML Engineer at [ServiceNow](https://www.servicenow.com/), where she builds and evaluates a multilingual voice AI platform spanning a dozen languages.
