We want to help our Referral Partners in Mortgage\, Finance\, and Real Estate\, and their buyersnavigate through the important decisions relating to acquiring property and choosing the rightinsurance protection for their situation. We can help educate clients\, resolve concerns\, evaluate optionsand provide a unique and exceptional customer experience.”Tom is a native Texan who has lived in the Katy area for over 30 years\, including graduating fromTaylor High School (Go Mustangs!).

Tom\, Wendy\, and the team are very excited toprovide customers with a true choice for insurance\, finally! 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!

SUMMARY:W.I.R.E. (Women Only) July
DESCRIPTION:RSVP for Monthly Main Meeting\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome! \n\n\n\nWe are a women’s only group helping each other achieve success through real estate investing. By having open discussions on how to start\, improve\, and expand our businesses. We learn from local experts and each other by sharing ideas on marketing\, deals\, and our experiences. We have fun events at our meetings and believe in helping our community by leading a majority of the charity drives. \n\n\n\nAnd as always\, we get to know one another better and help each other grow our businesses by doing what we do best\, networking! \n\n\n\n________________________________ \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis month’s speaker is Ernie Garcia – Landlord Attorney \n\n\n\nTopic: Repair Requests \n\n\n\nAs a landlord\, it is imperative to know how to handle repair requests. You don’t want to find yourself in a situation that will cost you thousands of dollars (eliminating any kind of cash flow you might have)\, or even putting you out of business. 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!

She was born in California and lived there throughout her childhood and adolescent years. Her first glimpse of entrepreneurship came from her parents who owned several successful and failed businesses. Through observation\, she witnessed business transactions\, negotiations\, an array of useful business matters\, legal triumphs that would later serve her well in her own endeavors.  \n\n\n\nAfter high school\, she attended college in Hawaii at Hawaii Pacific University. 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.

SUMMARY:Walk Through
DESCRIPTION:RSVP for Monthly Main Meeting\n\n\n\n\nFREE Investor Rehab Property Walk-through & Workshop with Seasoned Investor & Rehabber: Ray Sasser\n\n\n\nRehabbing houses can make you lots of money\, but if not done right a rehab can put you out of business. Through the years\, we have seen too many times someone buys a property to flip\, and never make it to their 2nd deal. Do not let this happen to you. \n\n\n\nThose TV shows about flipping houses we all love to watch just make it look soooooo easy to rehab and flip a house. But they leave a lot of crap out. Well\, we are going to show you the right way to do rehabs and include the crap that those shows leave out. When rehabbing a house\, there are a million things that can go wrong\, causing the job to get derailed. This can cost you tons of money\, and even put you out of business. \n\n\n\nCome spend a few hours with us as we walk through a real property and look at the rehab process: \n\n\n\nWe will walk a real rehab deal and go over the rehabDoing the RIGHT rehab – Not over/under rehabbing the property.Staying on budget – managing and minimizing going over budgetCosmetics – flooring\, painting\, etcMechanical – HVAC\, Plumbing\,Permits – When do you pull permits? Who is responsible for pulling permits? How are permits pulled? What is required for pulling permits?When to hire a general contractor – is a General Contractor necessary for EVERY rehab?How To hire a general contractorHow to hire the RIGHT contractor(s) – Questions to ask contractors to qualify them (and the answers you should expect)Contractor agreement – How to fill out the contractor agreement & what should be in the agreementEstimating Repair Costs\n\n\n\n\nRSVP for Monthly Main Meeting\n\n\n\n\nLocation will be announced soon \n\n\n\nClick HERE or on the image below to join the Greater Houston REIA!

The presenters/speakers at  these workshops are the best of the best in the topic they are speaking on. Often times they are highly recommended\, and even when recommended they still have to be interviewed & approved.
