This month we are excited to have Richard McCool joining us from Florida. Richard has a long list of certifications (MPH CFP® ChFC® CLU® AEP® CLTC® CExPTM RICP®) He will be bringing decades of wealth management experience to show us strategies that institutional investors use to invest, and how we can use those same techniques to grow our real estate portfolios and wealth.
Richard’s bio:
Richard McCool began building the foundation of The Blackwood Financial Group in 2002 with a vision of creating a practice devoted to developing individualized, time-tested strategies. These strategies aim to offer clients greater confidence in their future, more predictable and improved outcomes, and reduced risks.
One of the great hallmarks of the firm is its ability to communicate complex concepts clearly and simply.
Unlike traditional financial advisors, The Blackwood Financial Group strives to incorporate every financial tool and strategy that aligns with a client's mission and vision—not just managing stock portfolios and insurance contracts.
Our experience has shown that our entrepreneurial clients who have created significant wealth have done so through a combination of three key methods:
- Business Ownership
- Real Estate
- Private Equity (becoming the banker)
For those focused on real estate as an asset class, all three often apply and work together.
One of the firm's core beliefs is:
- Build for the best,
- Prepare for the worst,
- Create the ability to pivot when things change... because they will.
A second core belief is:
- Clients should play by the rules the institutions play by, not the rules the institutions teach the public to play by.
For the presentation this evening, Richard will provide a list of subjects that are often the most important and valuable to business owners with a passion for real estate.
However, this time together will be most valuable if we address your specific questions and concerns. So, please come prepared with your thoughts and questions to make this a fast-paced, interactive, and valuable experience.
