entire life. i love this aspect of real estate because you can make even bigger profits, while, at the same time, you're improving neighborhoods. however, it's not as easy as it looks on tv. that's why you have to learn how to do it the right way. you see, a lot people who end up fixing up properties without a system -- they end up spending way too much time working on the houses themselves. at the event, we teach you our hands-off system for rehabbing properties and how to get these properties fixed up without you ever having to pick up a single paintbrush. >> as soon as i found out about this opportunity, i immediately called my dad, because i knew this was gonna be our way out. i'd been looking for a way to retire him, 'cause i know he's been the hardest worker i've ever been around. >> and at the time, i was saying i was a little too busy to come. so he called me a week later and said, "no, dad, you have to come to this." and then when he said to me, "i don't want you swinging a hammer
3:01 am
anymore," i decided that i would come and see what it was about. got to tell you, i was skeptical about it when i went to that meeting. but afterwards, i was amazed at the information, the knowledge, the systems. that's what i really liked about it. that's the things i was lacking when i was building and selling real estate years earlier. >> we educate you on the process so you know the steps, who you have doing what, and in what time line. we also teach you exactly how to get the money for these types of projects. in fact, one source we show you is an absolute gold mine. our students have used this source to get millions of dollars for deals they've rehabbed. just listen to some of these stories. >> i've been in construction as a residential home builder and side contractor for over 40 years. i even sit on the board of directors for the national association of home builders. i'm here to tell you that the systems that than, paul, and
3:02 am
j.d. have put together are the most extensive and conclusive systems that exist anywhere. they make it so easy to flip houses and make money. >> i thought i knew what i was doing. i've been investing in real estate for 30 years. it's so refreshing to learn from someone that's doing the business at such a high level in today's market. >> i bought five properties. i've wholesaled three of those properties. i've just finished my last -- my first flip, and i'm holding onto one piece of property as a long-term strategy. go ahead. take this step. it's a leap of faith, and you will not look back. it will change your life forever. >> announcer: if you're looking to make more money and take control of your personal and financial future, then get ready, because than merrill, the star of a&e's hit tv show "flip this house," one of the most successful real-estate investors in the country and america's number-one real-estate-investing expert, has one heck of an opportunity for you. than is hosting a one-of-a-kind free two-hour real-estate wealth-building workshop where
3:03 am
you will learn his three-step system for getting started flipping homes and buying and holding income properties. at this event, you will learn exactly how you can do this without needing money, credit, or any prior experience. than's system has created thousands of success stories around the country and helped numerous people make money and change their financial futures forever. when you attend this live event, you will discover five untapped and consistent sources of properties than and his students have been buying for significantly under-market value that the general public doesn't know about. you'll also learn about a nationwide source of wealthy cash buyers than and his students flip these properties to. when you register and attend, you'll also get than merrill's "money resource guide" that shows you the seven best sources of money you can utilize to flip real estate using little or none of your own money or credit. this resource guide addresses the number-one problem most people have, which is how to get the money for your deals, and it's yours, free, when you attend. plus, you'll also get than's
3:04 am
vip success package for free, which details out how than finds his deals and buyers and is full of other valuable resources that every real-estate investor needs to be successful. don't let this opportunity for you and a guest to attend this powerful live training event in your backyard pass you by. seating is extremely limited, so you must call the number at the bottom of your screen or go online right now to reserve your free tickets. make your guaranteed reservations right now, before it's too late. >> we'd been investing in real estate. we'd had some income properties, and we were tired of the rat race, the grind, so we decided that, "yeah, let's go take a look at this." we went to the one night. it intrigued us. the things that they were telling us -- they're already things that we had in our mind. we were like, "yes, yes, yes," and so we wanted more. it's been a godsend ever since. >> it's important for you to know that, when you attend one of my live training events, you're gonna be learning from someone who is successfully
3:05 am
doing this right now in today's market. over the years, i've flipped hundreds of properties. i built a sizeable rental portfolio, and i have 31 deals going on right now, like the one behind me. i also have a track record for teaching other regular, everyday people how to be successful in real estate. in fact, i have some of the most successful students in the country, who have done thousands of documented deals using my system. i've literally created a road map for you to achieve your financial goals. this event -- it's gonna be a turning point for many of you watching this show right now. but you have to pick up the phone in order to make that change. all you need to do is call the number at the bottom of the screen or go online right now to reserve your two free tickets to my upcoming two-hour educational event. >> i've been a stay-at-home mom for a few years now. >> i used to be in the air force. i still am in the air force. i'll be retiring in a few months. >> i've always wanted to rehab,
3:06 am
and i didn't realize how much i didn't know. >> to put it into a whole system that creates a business for you, i know the value of that, being in a military environment. they don't just tell you what to do, they tell you how to do it and how to build your business. and for me, that's what set them apart for every other real-estate investment company out there. >> we have a lot of students who had zero real-estate experience who are now flipping multiple properties a month. however, learning how to flip is only part of what we teach you at the event. the second important step we teach you is how to build long-term wealth with real estate. you see, the key to building true lifelong wealth is to learn how to acquire income-producing properties, like this one right here, that produce monthly checks for you whether you work or not. and if you think about it, no matter what you do for work right now, chances are you wake up, you leave your house, you
3:07 am
leave your family, and you trade your time for money. however, there's only so many hours in a day that you can work. so, your ability to produce income is capped. just imagine owning real estate that produces money for you every single month, regardless of whether you're at work, on vacation, or asleep in your bed. this newfound financial freedom is gonna give you peace of mind, it's gonna give you more free time, and it's gonna allow you to give back to those that you care about the most. >> after having two masters degrees and a doctorate, i was being laid off, and i was going to be looking for a job, and the same thing was likely to happen again in my life. i had actually maximized my earning potential with that education. and so i made the decision at that point that i was not gonna work for anybody else again. i never really thought about
3:08 am
passive income before and what that meant. having some money coming in whether i'm actively renovating a property or not is now my main goal in life. >> now, i know some of you watching at home may have been to other trainings, or you're financially comfortable right now, or you're already in real estate in some shape or fashion. you might be wondering how i can help you. well, over the years, i've helped so many people grow and literally automate what they do by learning our system. >> the fact that they've taught me to build systems so i can run it like a business -- before, i was not running it like a business. i was just going for it. i was making money, but now i'm gonna make big-boy money. >> i've even had students who have attended our training events, who started using our systems, and are now so successful that other people started taking notice, and they now have their own tv shows and have been featured on shows like "flipping san diego" on a&e and "property wars" on discovery and "house hunters" on hgtv.
3:09 am
in fact, here is one of those students. >> than, your system and what you teach is amazing. as you know, i was a realtor before becoming an investor, and i went to your seminar, and it all clicked. i started rehabbing properties and using your systems, and my business took off like wildfire. and as you know, the discovery channel started calling me when they found out what i was doing, and now i'm featured on "property wars." going to your seminar was the best decision i ever made. >> curt is a great guy who's become very successful using our three-step system. and what really blows me away is not only how well curt and our thousands of other students are doing financially, but, more importantly, how proud their spouses and families are of what they've done and what they've accomplished and just how happy they are now. >> i have a business that my wife and children are proud of. we're going into neighborhoods and being paid to fix up properties. i'm building a legacy for my wife, my children, and my grandchildren, and i'm doing something that i absolutely
3:10 am
love. >> we introduced you to three powerful and little-known strategies for investing in real estate passively and earning high rates of return. in fact, one of those strategies you're gonna be introduced to, you can earn up to 16% to 18% interest on your money, supported by united states state law and backed by real estate. this is a little-known passive real-estate-investment vehicle that's been around for over 100 years. we're also gonna show you how to use this strategy and other strategies to flip properties 100% tax-free. these are killer ways to invest in real estate and possibly build a retirement account for you and your family, because your money's gonna be growing so much faster in a tax-free or a tax-deferred environment. you see, working a job and just saving money alone may not get you to your long-term financial and retirement goals, and that's
3:11 am
why it's so critical for you to learn these powerful, long-term wealth-building strategies. >> than's event gave me the confidence that i needed to succeed. since then, i have completed 15 real-estate deals, and i'm in the current process of completing two more. >> it completely turned my life around from "a" to "z." that is, by far, the best thing that could have happened to me. >> this house behind me -- i got it under contract. and using the strategies that you taught me at your event, i was able to sell that contract, and i made over $9,000. >> as you're watching at home -- we only have a few seconds left, so pick up the phone and call the number right now to make your guaranteed reservation. this event is an opportunity many people will jump on in this area and change their lives forever. i really hope that you're one of them. if you want a better year this year, compared to last year, you
3:12 am
have to do and learn something different. regardless of your financial situation or your background, you can do this successfully. real estate has changed my life, and i know it can change yours. i hope today is a day that you mark on your calendar, one where you can put a mark of an event where you and your financial future and your life took a giant leap forward. thanks for watching. i look forward to having you at the event.

york city, i'm elaine quijano. this is the "cbs overnight news." welcome to the overnight news. i'm elaine quijano. the pentagon is investigating the apparent murders of three u.s. soldiers this weekend in eastern afghanistan. the afghan army says one of its troops turned his fun gun on th americans before he was shot dead. the taliban claims this was the gunman and that he was one of their own, an army infiltrator. the attack comes as america's longest war is at another crossroads. the pentagon wants to add thousands of troops to the 8,000-plus already in afghanistan. they're helping in the fight against the taliban, al qaeda and isis, but some in congress want to cut off funding for the 16-year war, saying the u.s. has
3:31 am
sacrificed enough blood and treasure. here's tony dokoupil. >> reporter: when an afghan soldier opened fire saturday, killing three americans, who were supposed to be his allies, vice president mike pence offered solace at a speech in milwaukee. >> suffice it to say, when heroes fall, americans grieve. and our thoughts and prayers are with the families of these american heroes. >> reporter: after nearly 16 years, more than 2200 casualties and an estimated cost topping $800 billion, the u.s. is deadlocked in its fight with the taliban. the islamic militia that rules much of the countryside and took credit for saturday's murders. lieutenant general john nicholson is asking for as many as 5,000 additional soldiers to break what he calls a stalemate. but congress is showing signs of war fatigue. >> we have allowed the executive branch to take over our foreign

didn't discuss afghanistan much on the campaign trail, but an increase in troops in afghanistan would contradict his america first promise to avoid prolonged, overseas military operations. elaine? tony, thanks. this weekend, the u.s. embassy in the philippines confirmed u.s. special forces are providing technical support and surveillance for local troops battling isis-linked militants. dozens of civilians and troops, including 13 philippine marines have been killed in the three-week battle to drive islamic militants from the city. today the u.s. military unleashed a drone strike on al shabab militants in somalia. it destroyed a command center used by the al qaeda-led group. as many as ten militants were killed. u.s.-backed forces in syria and iraq continue to gain ground against isis in raqqah and mosul. >> reporter: raqqah has long been considered the islamic
3:34 am
state capital in syria. and now at least part of it's been ripped from the terror group's hands. although the area in question is small, this is a symbolic defeat, a milestone that comes after two days of intense fighting by u.s.-backed forces. the team of kurdish-led fighters recaptured the neighbor this morning. 12 isis were killed including a commander. the observatory for human rights who has been monitoring the war says u.s. backed forces now control two neighborhoods in the city and have just entered a third. the battle is however likely to be long and difficult, as the extremist group fiercely defends its self-declared capital. fighting also ramped up this weekend in mosul, isis's last remaining stronghold in iraq. u.s.-backed forces began their counter offense eight months ago and nearly all has been captured except for an enclave near the
3:35 am
western bank, but it hasn't stopped the isis forces from firing back. and it's usually civilians caught in the crossfire. nearly 500,000 are displaced. they have begun an operation between mosul and baghdad and they continue to say victory is imminent, however militants control swaths of territory near the border with syria. president trump is back at the white house after spending another weekend at his golf course in new jersey. this week is expected to be another political rollercoaster in washington with the congress at testimony of attorney general jeff sessions. the topic of course, russia's efforts to influence the presidential election. john dickerson of "face the nation" spoke to two members of the senate judiciary community, lindsey graham and chuck schumer. >> he doesn't believe he did anything wrong with the russians, and i tend to believe him. he can't collude with his own
3:36 am
government, why do you think he's colluding with the russians. mr. president, don't make a circus out of your presidency. if you want to come to the judiciary committee and testify under oath, we'll put comey right by you. it will be the highest-rated tv show in the world but it's not good for the democracy. >> in tsn't the challenge not t collusion question. >> i think the president believes if we pursue how russia interfered with the election we're suggesting he did not win fairly. i see no evidence of the president's campaign colluding with the russian. i see all kinds of evidence of the russians trying to destroy our democracy. there will be a bill coming this week to punish russia f for interfering into our elections. they colluded with assad so he could keep his chemical weapons, and i think they were complicit in the attack by assad on children in syria.
