With the current financial crisis and the growing interest in real estate investing, seasoned veterans looking for fresh ideas and beginning investors searching for guidance are finding one common obstacle: Lack of financing. Investor loans are scarce and limited, even though opportunities for financial gain in real estate investments abound. "It's a bit like chaining a starving dog to an all you can eat buffet" says Chris Yates, President and Founder of CM Yates Capital, a Denver based real estate investment firm. "Both beginning and experienced investors alike are having the same problem in locating adequate financing for the bargains they're finding. What they don't realize, however, is that the solution is right under their noses." Yates has had ample success with a strategy that takes advantage of the "silver lining" in our current financial crisis. As investors search for a safer way to regain their lost investment dollars, Yates says that secured real estate investments offer the ideal solution as they provide collateral, insurance protection, and a fixed rate of return, plus a possible dividend yield to boot. "Most real estate investors simply don't know how to properly access these funds" says Yates.

Yates has been praised by the media, and is often featured in lead stories by industry experts. His innovative financial strategies have been called "elegant and simple." In the Sept/Oct '09 Issue of Personal Real Estate Investor magazine, publisher Andrew Waite again spotlights Yates in an article titled "Revenue Revolution", stating "Chris Yates is showing every other real estate investor how to do it."

To aid in the proper education of his fellow investors, Yates is teaming with PREI's most recent Master Investor, Than Merrill of FortuneBuilders, to produce a 3-day bootcamp event in Denver on October 23rd-25th, 2009. Yates will be covering the in's and out's of how to find private lenders for real estate investments, how to properly structure transactions, and will even be flying in his securities attorney to answer questions from attendees.
