than and his team are currently looking for a small group of motivated individuals who want to work directly with his team and learn the exact step-by-step system he's used to flip hundreds of properties over the past decade. at this event, you will learn exactly how you can do this without needing money, credit, or any prior experience. so if you've always had the desire to get into real estate or you're already in real estate, this event is the perfect opportunity for you to learn than's system. than's system has created thousands of success stories around the country and helped numerous people make money and change their financial futures forever. >> just a few months ago, i attended one of than merrill's training events. since then, i've sold two properties, i have six houses under construction, and i have three houses under contract. in fact, the house behind me i just sold and made $38,000. i'm providing a better life for my daughter, and i'm absolutely loving life. now i'd like to introduce you to the man who changed my life, my

mentor and friend, than merrill. >> if you're looking to increase your income, become less dependent on a job, spend more time with your friends and family, and ultimately have more fun and freedom in your life, then stick with me, because i'm gonna show you how you can have all of those things and more by learning my proven three-step system for investing in real estate. i'm than merrill, star of a&e's hit tv show "flip this house." over the past 10 years, i've become a self-made multi-millionaire buying and selling hundreds of properties just like the one behind me that are probably right in your neighborhood. over the course of this program, i'm also gonna show you properties i've made money on in the past few months and take you to properties that i'm currently flipping right now, like this one. and i'm gonna show you how different your life could be using my system to invest in real estate. real estate has completely changed my life, and for the past few years, i've been able to share that passion through

our live training events, and nothing has been more rewarding to me. these events have helped thousands of regular, everyday people get started investing in real estate the right way, which has ultimately and dramatically changed their lives. >> learning how to invest in real estate using this system has brought us closer together and put us on the path to financial freedom. >> now, you might be sitting there thinking, "than, why real estate, and why right now?" well, what's currently going on in this country is really scary. the middle class is literally disappearing. i'm talking about people, maybe like you, who earn between $40,000 to $200,000 a year, who are losing ground. here's what's happening. over the last decade, middle-class families have lost 1/3 of their net worth because wages are falling and inflation is rising. you know, the old idea that if you work hard and you pay your dues that you'll get ahead might be giving you false hope, and

sadly, for the first time in history, a lot of people are not gonna be better off than their parents. you see, the reality is if you're relying on someone else -- the government or a job -- you might be putting yourself and your family at risk. and it only takes something as common as a job loss or a divorce or an unexpected family health problem, and you could go from a normal, middle-class family to newly poor practically overnight. realize this could happen to you, and that's why it's so important for you to get a financial education and take the proper steps to take care of your family. and the best way to do this is through real-estate investing. statistics show that real-estate investing is the most likely way to achieve financial independence, and more average, everyday people have become millionaires through real-estate investing than anything else. in fact, the irs reported that over the past 50 years, of all the americans who declared more than $1 million on their income

tax returns, 71% of them were in real estate. you see, in high school and college, they teach us how to get a job, but at my live events, i take pride in teaching you how not to be dependent on a job and how to take control of your own destiny. >> i always had a desire about real estate, but didn't know how to make it work. for me, i worked in corporate america -- 50 to 60 hours a week. no matter how much time and effort i put in, i still got paid the same pay. so i didn't get a chance to be rewarded for my efforts, and i was really frustrated working in that capacity. i can't express enough the value of the education that you get. there is no environment compared to this. >> and they take it to another level. >> throughout this show, you're gonna see and hear from successful students of mine from a wide variety of different backgrounds, from teachers to truckers, to realtors and contractors, to attorneys, to stay-at-home moms and dads. many of my students started with little to no money and on a part-time basis. one of the reasons i have so

many successful students is because one of the first things that we teach you at the event is how to find killer real-estate deals you can flip and how to find the best deals that you can hold on that create monthly cash flow. in fact, this property right behind me was a pre-foreclosure that i got at a rock-bottom price using one of my strategies that you're gonna learn at the event. this isn't just something i talk about. this is what i do every day, and this is what my students are out there doing every day. and this is something that can change your life forever. >> because of the training, i've acquired a few income properties, set up passive monthly income streams, and in the next few months, i will be able to quit my job, all from what i learned. >> now, i know what you might be thinking -- "than, don't you need money to be successful in real estate?" you see, that's one of the biggest misconceptions. in fact, take this house behind me. this is a house i flipped with none of my own money, and i made $38,000 on using a private lender. and one of the things we're

gonna teach you at the event is how to find private lenders in your area who are willing to loan you money on real-estate deals that you find. >> after attending this training event, i can tell you i now know exactly where i'm gonna get more money to do more deals. >> 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 you will learn his three-step system for getting started flipping homes and buying and holding income properties. >> the system can work for you even if you don't have any money or experience. now, if you have money and you're comfortable right now, in my opinion, there is no better place to invest than in real estate, and at the event, you're gonna be introduced to a couple strategies you can use to build

monthly passive income, including one strategy where you can earn up to 16% to 18% interest on your money, supported by united states law and backed by real estate. it's a killer strategy. >> nothing even comes close to the events that than and his team put on. they are information-packed and have helped me so much. >> over the course of this show, you're gonna see examples of the 31 real-estate deals that i have going on right now, like the one behind me that i'll be selling in just a few days. at my events, you're also gonna see examples of people who are making money in your backyard using my system. and that's why these live events are so valuable, because you're gonna be learning what is working right now in today's market, as opposed to outdated information from a book written three years ago. however, if you sit around and wait, you're gonna miss the absolute best window of opportunity to make money. right now, i'd like to give you

the opportunity to get two tickets to the upcoming two-hour training event for free before they're gone. >> 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 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 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. >> one of the reasons i've consistently made money in real estate and why i've been able to

build a sizeable rental portfolio and why i have 31 deals going on right now, like this house behind me, is because i discovered five untapped and very consistent sources for properties that you can pick up significantly below market value. these five sources for deals produce the profits that you're seeing right now that i've flipped in two months alone. this is also one of the reasons why we have so many successful students around the country who have done thousands of deals. at the event, we're gonna introduce you to what these five sources are and how you can use them to find a deal for yourself very quickly. we're then gonna teach you a strategy of how to put a property under contract and then how to flip or sell that contract to another person. this is a perfect strategy if you just want to dip your toe in the market on a part-time basis and if you don't have a lot of money. >> my name is jonathan "legacy" perez. i'm a professional dancer. i'm a b-boy.

i was on "so you think you can dance" season six as a finalist. never in my life have i ever envisioned myself as successful as i am now in real estate, because i never felt that i had the capacity, and i'm happy that they saw what a gem i had inside of me in order to succeed in my real-estate career. >> another technique you're gonna be introduced to at my event is how to find wealthy cash buyers who are currently buying properties in your area. these are wealthy people who are paying cash for properties right in your area and around the country, and many of my students have tapped into this source of buyers and has made it so much easier for them to get started and have success. >> as a practicing attorney, i was definitely somewhat skeptical at first. however, after having a chance to meet all the guys, i can tell you that they're really a down-to-earth group, unbelievably successful, and it is very refreshing to be

learning from guys who are operating at this kind of a level -- at such a high level -- in today's market. >> we actually were able to make $19,000 in profit when all was said and done in our first wholesale deal. >> and the system that you guys are delivering to us? oh, my gosh. it is priceless. >> as a single woman, i was somewhat intimidated by investing in real estate. however, than's event gave me so much confidence to succeed. i now have made $30,000 on my first deal, and i have five other deals in the works. >> right now, the middle class is shrinking in this country at an alarming rate, and there's a huge transfer of wealth taking place between those people who understand the laws of money and how to invest in real estate and those who don't. a job does not mean you have security. you need to know that, no matter what happens to your job or the economy, that you have the knowledge in place to make money forever in real estate. and nobody can ever take that away from you.

just imagine having more time for you, for your family, and having complete control of your financial destiny. that's the gift that i want to give to you. >> i'm so excited. i left my job a few months ago, so i've been pursuing this full-time, and it's awesome. and this event couldn't have come at a more perfect time. >> folks, it's scary right now. less than 5% of people who reach age 65 have enough money to retire on or are financially secure. and this is according to the u.s. census bureau. so, if you've ever worried about money, or you're not where you want to be financially right now, then you have to make a change. you have to step outside of your comfort zone, learn something new that can help you get to your financial goals and help you live a life you've always dreamed of. the reality is, if you keep doing what you're doing right now, you're gonna have another year next year like you had this

year. if you want a different year, a better year, more time for your family, more time for yourself, just a better life overall, then you need a specific plan and system to get you there. that's why you have to pick up the phone. make your guaranteed reservation for this educational event and attend so you can better understand this opportunity. put the power in your hands and start taking control of your own life financially. >> if you really want to have a game changer and do something different and you want to have a financial freedom in your life and be able to provide for your family and for yourself and do things differently than what you've been able to do before, take this vehicle and ride it all the way. >> at the event, we will also teach you the second way i flip properties. and that's by fixing the property up and then selling it, like we do on our tv show.

for example, this is one of the 31 properties i'm working on right now. here are the profits i made in two months alone just on properties i've rehabbed. [ cash register dings ] [ cash register dings ] [ cash register dings ] just imagine how doing just one deal like this would impact your 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 anymore," i decided that i would come and see what it was about. got to tell ya, 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 educucatyou 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 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 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 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 tha when you attend one of my live training events, you're gonna be learning from someone who is successfully 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, 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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.

especially rear-end collisions. carter evans, cbs news, los angeles. i don't use super poligrip for hold, because my dentures fit well. before those little pieces would get in between my dentures and my gum and it was uncomfortable. even well fitting dentures let in food particles. just a few dabs of super poligrip free is clinically proven to seal out more food particles so you're more comfortable and confident while you eat. so it's not about keeping my dentures in, it's about keeping the food particles out. try super poligrip free.

first you start with this. these guys. a place like shhh! no. found it! and definitely lipton ice tea. lots of it. a lipton meal is what you bring to it. and the refreshing taste of lipton iced tea. ♪ su♪ a cold, a bug, a flu ♪ when school was back in session ♪ ♪ those germs were shared with you ♪ back to school means back to germs. and every year kids miss 22 million school days due to illness. but lysol spray and wipes kill 99.9% of germs... including common cold and flu viruses... to help protect your home and family. and now that lysol is the only disinfectant with box tops, you earn cash for your school,

every time you lysol that. with the nominating conventions out of the way the presidential campaign is in full swing. our tracker of 11 key states. shows hillary clinton got a two point bounce in the polls after her convention. show leads 43% to 41%. trump faces criticism over his dispairaging remarks over one of the speakers at the caratic convention. khan, a muslim whose son, an army captain was killed in iraq. john dickerson asked paul manafort about this. i want to start with kaiser khan talked about sacrifice. said donald trump had not sacrificed anything. what's the final response from the trump campaign to that?

>> look, i mean this is not, mr. khan, mr. trump and all of us, give him our sympathy and loss of his son. that was a real tragedy. the issue is not mr. khan and donald trump. the issue really its -- you know, radical islamic jihad, and the risk to the american homeland. that's the issue. all of the lives lost in the war over there are tragedy and we all are sorry for it. but what mr. trump has talked about. what really should be the discussion here today is how do we protect our homeland from refugees coming in from areas that are unsafe. and mr. trumpppp has made it very clear for months he believes there need to be a temporary suspension from the areas until we can have a system that can process it. that's the issue. and the second part, is to remember all the lives lost needlessly were lost because of a war that didn't have to be. the iraq situation, when president obama and secretary

clinton took office in january of 2009 was totally different world than today. because of their failed leadership and mistakes they made including sequester terry clinton, secretary of state, you know, isis arose, middle east destablized. war in syria. all this is what we should be talking about. mr. khan went through an enormous loss. he isn't the issue. the issue is the american people are focusing on, the media need to be focused on is to focus on homeland security and how to prosecute the war against isis. >> i hear what you are saying now. when mr. trump was asked about this, the second thing he brought up was that -- mr. khan's wife didn't say anything. why did he think that was important to bring up right away? >> look again these are clinton talking points. >> paul here, brought that up,

right away, that was mr. trump's answer? >> but the, focus was not on where it needed to be. on the part of the question. what needed, what need to be focused on is why are we at risk? what is the war all about? i could get into all of issues mr. khan as mr. trump can. he is not the issue. we feel sorry for what he went through. we have to stop the risk of rd radical jihad. in their accept speech, mrs. clinton her policy to do that was regurgitating the policy of the obama administration. nothing different there. nothing new is going to happen. mr. trump said we will do it differently. that's what we should be talking about, not mr. khan and his tragedy. for example if you want to get into the narrative. why aren't we talking about the victims who spoke at the republican convention who lost their loved ones to, to illegal immigrant criminals, that shouldn't have been here. we're not talking about that. >> it is a good point. but, lost a son in benghazi. the distinction people would say.

hillary clinton didn't talk about patricia smith or in the way mr. trump talked about mrs. khan. that would be the distinction. mr. trump was asked about mr. khan. he didn't raise mr. khan. the point mr. trump continues to focus on is, we need to focus on protecting our homeland security. that's the issue. not the tragedy of the khan family. >> parents who lose children, serving in the military, are referred to as gold star parents. we'll take a deeper look when we return. you are watching the "cbs overnight news." squuuuack, let's feed him let's feto the sharks!sharks! yay! and take all of his gold! and take all of his gold! ya! and hide it from the crew! ya...? squuuuack, they're all morons anyway! i never said that. they all smell bad too. no! you all smell wonderful! i smell bad! if you're a parrot, you repeat things. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. squuuuack, it's what you do.
