Having Jason Jones as my mentor and participating in Prosper, the Las Vegas Investment Group that Jason and his wife, Debbie, formed, has provided me with the confidence and practical know-how to go out on my own and acquire new properties. By the end of 2006, I expect I will have bought and/or sold properties in eight states, usually rolling over the equity and profit through a 1031 Exchange to avoid taxes. There is no fear, no reservation, and no hesitation now when I learn about new investment opportunities and strategies through Jason and his investment club. And though "retired," I'm not finished. I haven't learned so much since graduate school, and I continue to be rewarded in many ways.

I bought the Houston duplex through the Prosper Team. This investment is my first in Real Estate and I am happy to have a good start in my Real Estate Investing.
This duplex has a good cap rate and with both the units rented, it is a positive cash flow investment. This property, near the Houston Medical District area, along with the increased rental demand in Houston created by Hurricane Katrina helps very much with this investment.
The property manager was already put in place and that took the weight off from my shoulders in having to find one. They had referrals readily available for financing needs and provided the referrals for the other areas like inspections and appriasals as well.
The decision to buy this property was definitely made easier of the Prosper Team, specifically Debbie, Jason and Sarah. Jason and Debbie run the investment club meetings in Los Angeles and Jason's knowledge and experience in the RE Investment Arena is huge and any questions in this regard, Jason was ready to help.
This Prosper team was very approachable and helpful and provided alternatives when required and I am quite pleased with their help in successfully closing my first Real Estate Investment transaction.

I have been a member of Prosper Real Estate Investors Association for 2 years. Prosper has the most knowledgeable and informative speakers. Jason and Debbie consistently go the extra mile to help the members be successful in real estate investing using the knowledge they have gained from investing. I find the networking before and after every meeting extremely valuable. I have been playing the Cash Flow Game for over a year. Just recently I started to understand investing more and it has enabled me to start taking more risks, which I have started carrying over into other areas of my life. It is a wonderful game that really teaches investing principles.

I have been attending Prosper since it first started. The speakers have been really outstanding and I have learned a lot from them. They're very enlightening. I also really enjoy the networking opportunities with the others who attend. Debbie and Jason are really committed to seeing people succeed and be prosperous.

I joined Prosper Real Estate Investors Association in July 2007. Meeting other members has been greatly beneficial for me. I come for the seminars but I stay for the networking. Everyone including the Prosper staff is so friendly! I've met new friends here and we all have the same interest... Real Estate!

I have been a member of Prosper now for approximately one year, and I truly feel that the membership fee is one of the best investments I have made in my short Real Estate Investing career. The smaller-size group offers a hands on approach with the speakers that you just can't get at some of the larger REIAs in the area. I have to say without a doubt that's what sets Prosper apart from other REIAs that I have attended. Jason and Debbie really care about each of the members. They truly take an interest in your investing and will do anytyhing that they can to offer a helping hand. I would recommend Prosper to anyone who is new to investing, or anyone who is looking for a more hands-on REIA.

I love playing the Cash Flow Game with Prosper on Saturdays! It's a lot of fun and I have seen my understanding and strategies change over time. I've learned a lot and I would recommend it as a great learning tool!
Jane - Investor; Las Vegas, NV
When I decided to become a real estate investor, I knew I needed to find other experienced investors to learn from. Then, I met Jason and Debbie and they told me about Prosper REIA. I joined at my first meeting. It was a very wise decision because Prosper has helped me get started by providing access to great educational programs and seminars. From attending the monthly meetings, I have met a lot of great people and made strategic contacts to help build my real estate investing team. My financial IQ has increased by playing the Cash Flow Games that Prosper arranges each month. Thanks Jason and Debbie!
