They represent a variety of top rated localand national carriers and will find the best fit for your lifestyle and budget.Tom and Wendy enjoyed raising their children in the Katy area (Go Spartans!)\, and they often takeTexas road trips to explore this great state of ours. They frequently ask clients and business partners\,“What can we do to protect the things that matter the most to you?”Many clients are retail buyers who plan to occupy the property\, and more still are investors\, secondaryhome or vacation home owners\, and rental property managers. The network of contractors and serviceproviders to manage the maintenance of a residence is voluminous\, whether the occupant is an owner\,tenant\, or short term occupant. Each brings a unique set of circumstances that the insurance businessin general has failed to educate. We intend to fix that.Tom and Wendy have owned a TREC approved Continuing Education Provider for 6 years\, and theyregularly educate Real Estate Professionals and they myriad of industries surrounding them onHomeowners\, Secondary/Vacation homes\, Rental Properties or Landlords\, and Flood Insurance policies. \n________________________________ \nDemeris BBQ (Map below)1702 W Loop N Fwy Ste AHouston\, TX 77008 \nJune 28\, 20226:00 PM – 8:00 PM \nMEMBERS: FREENON-MEMBERS: $20.00 (Wait!

Popular questions that come up are what repairs am I responsible for as a landlord? Who pays for the repairs? What if the tenant causes the damage? etc… And if things are not done properly\, you could find yourself holding the bag. \n\n\n\nSo\, make sure you (ladies only) join us at our next WIRE meeting where Mr. Ernie Garcia will address how to handle repair requests. \n\n\n\n________________________________ \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSorry gentlemen\, this is for the ladies only.\n\n\n\nDemeris BBQ \n\n\n\n1702 W Loop N Houston\, TX 77008 \n\n\n\nJuly 20\, 20226:00 PM – 8:30 PM \n\n\n\nMEMBERS: FREENON-MEMBERS: $20.00 (Wait!

Are you using the 7-day rule? Knowing what the 7 day rule is and how to effectively use it is imperative to your success as a landlord \n\n\n\nIn this Focus Group\, we center our discussion about how to run\, manage\, and scale your rental properties. \n\n\n\nWe will answer questions like: \n\n\n\nWhat saves you time?What is a sinkhole for money?How do you screen tenants correctly?What systems do you need in place?Who should you have on your team?\n\n\n\nIf you’re a wholesaler\, flipper\, or brand new investor\, then this meeting is for you as well. You can sell your deals\, ask for others’ thoughts on the best ROI for your money\, and you can learn the ins and out’s of renting out a property or two. \n\n\n\nIf you are a new investor\, or a seasoned one\, and plan to make it in real estate for the long term\, and build Massive Passive Wealth\, this is one of the cornerstones of your real estate business you should become familiar with.

Then she worked at a financial firm while investing in real estate and business. Her first taste of entrepreneurship was an online retail business which she sold for triple her profit. \n\n\n\nAlthough she was successful in her career\, she realized the legal challenges that real estate and business owners continuously face. \n\n\n\nMs. Walter graduated from South Texas College of Law Houston and is a licensed Texas attorney.  \n\n\n\nLegal Practice \n\n\n\n“My goal is to protect my clients from legal liability\, and assist them along their real estate and business journey. I believe effective legal counsel requires prompt service\, knowledgeable staff\, and preparation. I focus on real estate transactions\, real estate litigation\, business disputes\, asset protection\, business consulting\, and business restructuring. I also practice estate planning.

No matter the competition\, condition of the market\, fears you have\, or anything else holding you back – you need to understand that real estate investors are successful no matter what the competition or market looks like. \n\n\n\nYour next (or first) deal is right in front of you\, you just have to know where and how to find it! Without leads\, you don’t have deals\, without deals you are not reaching the level of success & freedom you deserve! \n\n\n\nOne of the most important things you can do for yourself as a real estate investor is to learn and become an expert at generating leads & converting leads into deals.

You can sell your deals\, ask for others’ thoughts on the best ROI for your money\, and you can learn the ins and out’s of renting out a property or two. \n\n\n\nIf you are a new investor\, or a seasoned one\, and plan to make it in real estate for the long term\, and build Massive Passive Wealth\, this is one of the cornerstones of your real estate business you should become familiar with. This focus group is an opportunity to network with other investors and share experiences and advice. \n\n\n\nLet’s network\, socialize\, and learn how to make money together! \n\n\n\nBring your deals!

See below for more info \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for Monthly Main Meeting\n\n\n\n\nMany factors come into play when we are RE investors that help determine why we do what we do at any particular time.  Different factors may cause us to pivot into a different direction\, use a different niche one time or many times over a period of time as “life happens”. \n\n\n\nSuch factors may include: \n\n\n\nhaving no extra money\, so you started wholesaling as an entry point into investing. having a full time job and limited spare timehaving little knowledge of various niches (landlording\, rehabbing\, flipping\, etc)having no skills or time to do your own rehabs or maintenance\, but not enough money to pay someone elsehaving analysis paralysishaving no experience and afraid to ask for helphaving money but don’t know how to use it in the most effective waybeen there\, done that” mode—-tired of rehabbing\, want to do something passiveage\, physical changes that cause you to “rethink” your plan for the futurehaving enough investment assets to live on\, quit your job\, now what?\n\n\n\nBeing around a group of successful and supportive RE investors makes all the difference in the world.

(Women Only) September DESCRIPTION:RSVP for Monthly Main Meeting\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNO More Wholesaling! Instead\, get the deed! Get the deal! Get Paid!  \n\n\n\nWhich sounds better? \n\n\n\nSpending thousands of dollars\, and countless hours of time hunting down sellers\, trying to convince them to sell to you way below market value\, for them to just reject your offer or sell to a higher bidder. And if you are lucky enough to get the contract\, now you have to find a buyer. Or you buy the property and go through the rehab process and put it on the market and wait several months to get paid.  \n\n\n\nOR \n\n\n\nTalking to the RIGHT sellers\, solving their problem\, and buying properties Subject-to and generating cashflow from the beginning while building true wealth? \n\n\n\nImagine what your life would look like if you could buy real estate with:  \n\n\n\nZero qualifyingLittle or no money downLong-term\, fixed rate financing that gives you the chance to hold properties for rental\, or lease/option them\, or otherwise build long-term wealth and income?\n\n\n\nWhen done RIGHT\, and buying the right properties (from the right sellers)\, buying properties “Subject to the Existing Financing” lets you do exactly that! \n\n\n\nJust like with any other strategy of buying houses\, there is a RIGHT way and a wrong way to buy houses Subject-to. In fact\, some common mistakes we see investors make include: \n\n\n\nBuying the wrong deal to start with. Analyzing subject to deals means being able to forecast ALL the income and expenses\, and that means being able to analyze the mortgage you’re taking over. Is it fixed rate? Has it been modified? Is there a balloon? Get the wrong one\, and you could find yourself LOSING money every month.Buying from the wrong seller. For the RIGHT seller\, your subject to purchase is a blessing. For the WRONG one\, it’s a deal that keeps them from buying their next house\, or that blows up in YOUR face months or years laterNot disclosing EVERYTHING to the seller. Not just verbally\, but in writing. 90% of the issues\, lawsuits\, and other problems with a subject to deal come from the seller\, because YOU didn’t fully document the dealBeing so afraid of the “due on sale clause” that you don’t do subject to deals at all. When you understand how banking works today\, and how to take the right precautions\, and why having the loan ‘called due’ isn’t that disastrous after all\, you won’t worry about this anymore\n\n\n\nMaking these common mistakes can cause subject-to deals to come back and bite you later.  \n\n\n\nCamille Davis\n\n\n\nThat is why Camille Davis\, who has built her portfolio using the Subject-to strategy\, will be speaking at this month’s WIRE group meeting. Camille’s first deals were Subject-to and she has been doing them ever since. In a short amount of time\, she (and her husband) have built their portfolio\, created their wealth & financial freedom\, and are building their legacy for their kids and future generations! \n\n\n\nCamille will be sharing how she does her deals\, and reveal how YOU can do this too!  \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for Monthly Main Meeting\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nIf you’re a wholesaler\, flipper\, or brand new investor\, then this meeting is for you as well.

Dwan’s “Short sale checklist” that outlines exactly what you need to gather for your (very important) short sale package for lenders    2.

But how do you get to know them?  \n\n\n\nThis process is called Screening your tenants. Screening your tenants & and making sure you put the right tenants in your properties is key to minimizing your turnover/vacancies (your biggest expense as a landlord)  But\, what is the BEST way to do this…. \n\n\n\nDo you personally do the screening? Or Do you hire a 3rd party?What questions do you ask?What should my requirements be?How do I disqualify a tenant without breaking the law?What are the best practices when it comes to screening tenants\n\n\n\nBenita will share her experiences in managing properties (since 2005). She has learned some tough lessons the hard way\, that you don’t have to.  \n\n\n\nA lot of private landlords think they have it figured out\, or “this can’t be too hard”…..until they find themselves in a situation that teaches them a hard lesson.  \n\n\n\nWhether you are a new landlord\, or seasoned\, come hear Benita’s lessons so you can be up to date on current requirements. We are in a different world than we were just a few years ago. Or if you plan on becoming a landlord\, this will also be good for you to help you set yourself (and your tenants) up for success…. \n\n\n\nWholesalers……the landlords attending these meetings are your buyers for your deals. So\, you are welcome to join us too. And if you have deals\, bring them with you! \n\n\n\nNetworking from 6pm-6:30 (but try to get there a little earlier and grab a meal – support the restaurant –  \n\n\n\nThe meeting will start between 6:30 & 7. We will wrap up around 8pm and you can network for a little bit afterwards. So\, bring your business cards and build relationships! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBenita Stanford has been investing in real estate since 2005 and learned about managing tenants the hard way.  She thought like most people\, “I can do this – it can’t be that hard.”  After numerous trips to eviction court and repairing her own damaged properties\, she decided to make some changes.  Property management companies failed to convince her they could do better and too many real estate investor friends told her similar stories.  She knew there had to be a better way to manage single family rental property! \n\n\n\nFirst\, she improved her property management results by implementing different methods to incentivize occupant tenants to perform as agreed to in their lease. This is done with discounts and bonuses in addition to penalties.  Next\, she changed the framework of the lease itself and master leasing (also known as Sandwich leasing) provided the ideal lease.  Master leasing is very common in commercial real estate but rare in the residential leasing market.  Since then\, Benita has master leased from others with great success.  Good tenants are deemed the single most important link in this system and they are highly screened as an employee whom she ‘hires’ to oversee the asset (or the house). \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome! \n\n\n\nIn this Focus Group\, we center our discussion about how to run\, manage\, and scale your rental properties. \n\n\n\nWe will answer questions like: \n\n\n\nWhat saves you time?What is a sinkhole for money?How do you screen tenants correctly?What systems do you need in place?Who should you have on your team?\n\n\n\nIf you’re a wholesaler\, flipper\, or brand new investor\, then this meeting is for you as well. You can sell your deals\, ask for others’ thoughts on the best ROI for your money\, and you can learn the ins and out’s of renting out a property or two. \n\n\n\nIf you are a new investor\, or a seasoned one\, and plan to make it in real estate for the long term\, and build Massive Passive Wealth\, this is one of the cornerstones of your real estate business you should become familiar with. This focus group is an opportunity to network with other investors and share experiences and advice. \n\n\n\nLet’s network\, socialize\, and learn how to make money together! \n\n\n\nBring your deals! You never know who will be there to buy and sell! \n\n\n\nAs a group\, we have many very experienced investors that will brainstorm and make the best out of all situations. Don’t be surprised if\, at any given time\, we have several hundred years of experience in the room. Many of us are out there every day\, proving this stuff really works. \n\n\n\nIf you come\, don’t just be a taker. We find those who get the most out of our group are givers too. So bring your problems and questions. The more we grow\, the more you grow! \n\n\n\nSee you there! \n\n\n\n________________________________ \n\n\n\nDemeris BBQ (Map below)1702 W Loop N Fwy Ste AHouston\, TX 77008 \n\n\n\nSeptember 27\, 20226:00 PM – 8:00 PM \n\n\n\nMEMBERS: FREENON-MEMBERS: $20.00 (Wait!

(Offers that get accepted) \n\n\n\nImagine making an offer to a seller\, they reject your offer\, and then you find out that the seller\, actually sold the property to another investor……and…..FOR LESS. What if there was a way you could minimize the times that happens? \n\n\n\nOne of the things that hold many people back is the fear of making a mistake because they may have missed something or that they think they don’t know all the details that the experienced investors do: \n\n\n\nNegotiating\, and making offers that get acceptedBeing able to quickly and accurately estimate repairsHow to get solid comps in a timely manner\, even without MLS access\n\n\n\nTime is of the essence. Time is money! The national average of deals to offer ratio is around 20 offers made to buy 1 property. That’s just insane! \n\n\n\nWouldn’t you like to know how you could get your offer to deal ratio to an average of only making 3 offers to buy a property? \n\n\n\nOn Saturday October 8\, Greater Houston REIA Welcomes Mike Jacka as our guest speaker\, where he will show you: \n\n\n\nHow to Quickly and Accurately Estimate Repairs in 10-15 minutesHow to Find Comps (Comparable Sold Properties) even without access to the MLSHow to use a Seller Net Sheet as a Negotiating ToolHow to Analyze every Property QuicklyHow to Construct Offers that Sellers are more likely to Accept.How to Present your Offers Professionally\n\n\n\nAnd\, Mike will also walk you step by step through his process of looking at an making an initial repair estimate on a potential deal\, and show you how he does this in 10-15 minutes so you can quickly calculate your MAO (Maximum Allowable Offer) for cash deals. \n\n\n\nOver the years Mike Jacka has developed systems and checklists to help his staff and agents collect the required information and how to read/analyze the information so that it all makes sense. The next step is how to use all that information to make an offer that the seller is more likely to accept and how to make money from the deal once the seller accepts your offer. Most people that follow my system have reduced that number down to buying 1 out of every 3 offers they make. \n\n\n\nHe set out to create a simple yet effective system so that I could get anyone trained within a few days to go out and find deals for me with little to no experience. It took several years of trial and error to find the right process\, but it was worth it because now he can hire someone new\, with no experience and have them finding deals and presenting offers while I am traveling around the country doing what I love; helping others find their own success. \n\n\n\nWhy does this system work? \n\n\n\nBecause it looks at the most important numbers and presents you with a few different ways to buy a property and more importantly\, it also shows you the appropriate exit strategy for each offer and what your potential profit centers are in each deal based on the unique circumstances of your deal\, not just hypotheticals that do not relate to the deal you are looking at. \n\n\n\nGet Pre-registered now and come to the meeting with your questions at hand. I want you to be as successful as you possible can be and that starts with showing up. See you at the meeting\, Mike \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for Monthly Main Meeting\n\n\n\n\nAbout Mike Jacka \n\n\n\n\nMike Jacka has been investing and working in the real estate industry for more than 25 years and has experience in all aspects of single family residential real estate.
