Due to the pandemic, SHARK TANK is meeting ONLINE this month.

Atlanta REIA, Tampa REIA, Savannah REIA & Chattanooga REIA Members can attend at no-charge. Non-members pay $10. Register at AREIA.us/STO.

Since we’re meeting online, you must submit your deals for the Sharks to review in advance of the webinar.

Just so you know, during this pandemic, the Sharks are looking for “Steals”, not marginal pre-pandemic “Deals” from a month ago. Regardless, as time permits, the Sharks will quickly review your deals and give you their honest, unvarnished opinions. The more information you provide to the Sharks, the better.

If the Sharks like your deal, one of them may buy your deal immediately. If not, you will get three honest opionions of why they don’t like it and what you can do to make it a better deal for yourself and your potential, future buyers. Follow the instructions below to submit your deals.

Don DeRosa	David Minor	Scott Sekulow

Join Don DeRosa at 6PM SHARP at our Meeting-Before-the-Meeting Online that we like to call the High Tech Home Buying Creative Deal Structuring Subgroup one hour BEFORE the Tampa REIA Main Monthly Event.

This month… the big question on everyone’s mind right now is WTF?!?! No, not “Wow That’s Fantastic!” What does all of this quarantine stuff really mean and how is it going to affect the real estate market going forward? Who will be able to buy? What will we be able to buy? When will we be able to buy? Where will we be able to buy and most importantly, HOW?

Well I can answer that in two words… OWNER FINANCE. Owner finance will be the go to buying method in my opinion in the foreseeable future. If you want to thrive in the coming market instead of just limping by then you will undoubtedly need to learn how to buy Real Estate creatively through techniques such as Subject To, Wrap Around Mortgages and Leasing with Options to buy. These will be the most important techniques that you can learn going forward.

At the Meeting-Before-the-Meeting I will discuss the WHO, WHAT, WHEN and HOW we will need to be buying in the coming months.

We will discuss how to buy and how to sell creatively to open up the opportunities without having tons of cash to do it.. We will discuss how to buy using other peoples money and them how to turn around and sell it without traditional financing and how you can make even more money than you thought possible. Join me as we talk about SUBJECT TO, WRAP AROUND MORTGAGES and LEASE OPTIONS. Don’t miss it.

Join us at the Meeting-Before-the-Meeting Online where Don will teach you about different real estate investing purchase and sale strategies to put more money in your pocket as as well as state-of-the-art tools and techniques you’ll use to evaluate deals and figure out how to make them work.

Are you one of those investors who has a target the size of Florida on your back because you own properties in your own name? Do you want to be a target for every trip and fall person that’s looking to sue you for your hard-earned money?

When you own property in your own name, anyone can go to the courthouse and easily find every single property you own. They can even figure out how much equity you have. Many of these lawsuits are what are known as nuisance suits.

One thing you quickly need to learn is how the Land Trust works and how this one simple document can help protect the properties you have acquired or plan to acquire, with ease and without great expense to you.

The Land Trust will keep your name out of the public eye. On Thursday, January 9th at your next Tampa REIA Meeting at the Doubletree Suites Tampa Bay located at 3050 North Rocky Point Dr. West in Tampa, FL, I will show you how easy it is to protect yourself from lawsuit happy people. Here is some of what you will learn…

• What Is a Land Trust and What It Does to Help Make You Invisible and Protect You?
• How the Land Trust Keeps What You Own Out of the Public View and Private.
• How the Land Trust Can Allow You to Own an Unlimited Number of Properties without Anyone Having a Clue Who the Owner Is.
• How to Remove the Target from Your Back to Foil Those Looking for Easy Money They Don’t Deserve.
• How to Keep Anyone Trying to Sue You Paying Their Attorney for Many Months Running into Dead-Ends That Force Them to Quickly Decide If It Is Worth the Cost and Rethink Their Strategies!
• Why Owning a Property in a Land Trust May Be Better Than Owning It In a Corporation or Limited Liability Company?
• How to Use the Land Trust to Sell Real Estate So You Will Never Have to Foreclose If the Buyer Defaults.

You may have noticed that no matter where you go, no matter what newspaper or news source you use, all you hear about today is how more and more people are being sued and are being awarded huge sums of money from jury’s of their peers because some ridiculous thing happened that upset or hurt them.

Have you also noticed all of the court shows on television today are all sending a clear message that if someone makes you unhappy, sue them! They encourage undeserving people to take away from a person that made you unhappy, someone who worked hard to acquire a better lifestyle so they can have a better and more prosperous lifestyle without working for what they get.

Suing people has become the new income generating tool many lazy and impatient people are using today to create their wealth instead of working for the money like you and I do.

The old saying… “don’t wait to buy real estate, buy real estate and wait” is a wise statement. But owning real estate in your own name is not a wise thing to do and can be devastating and a potential problem for you and your family if not done correctly.

If you don’t already have the real estate you own in separate Land Trusts, or if you are planning to buy real estate, the Land Trust is the tool you need. The time to protect the real estate assets you have is NOW!

Be sure RSVP NOW and join me at next Tampa REIA on Thursday, January 9th at Tampa REIA from 5PM to 9PM at the Doubletree Suites Tampa Bay located at 3050 North Rocky Point Dr. West in Tampa, FL where I will show you how easy it is to protect yourself from this happening to you. I hope to see you all there!

As always, Tampa REIA Members can attend our Tampa REIA Main Meeting event at no charge and Non-Members can Register Online for $15 or pay $20 at the door.

Have you ever felt that you are unorganized? Unfocused? Easily distracted? Did you realize that the average person wastes, on average, 55 minutes every day looking for misplaced or lost
STUFF?

As a nation, Americans waste nine million hours per day by being unorganized and losing stuff. Here is a simple question. What does your desk look like? Do you have papers stacked high and scattered? Are you afraid to actually file something important away for fear you might never see it again? Do you start your day or year for that matter with the best intentions of accomplishing your goals only to have life de-rail you and then look back at the end of the year disappointed that you didn’t reach your goals AGAIN.

My name is Don DeRosa and on December 12th, I’m going to show you how to fix all of that and get organized, get focused and prioritized like a Pro. In this presentation I am going to introduce you the three reasons businesses fail and how to avoid them.

We will discuss how to set goals, when and how you can control the things going on around you and when it is time to move on. Why it is so important to set SMART goals and then how to prioritize them into actionable items.

We will also discuss what I call unifying principals (virtues) and how that plays a significant role in how you act and ultimately who you are. If you have never been to a time management seminar before this might just be the best seminar you attend all year. Here are a few things you will learn:

• Three reasons businesses fail
• Why it’s important to take action and stay focused
• How to avoid being a dog chasing six rabbits and never catching anything
• What are the five conditions of controlling events
• 10 common characteristics of highly successful people
• What is Congruity and why is it so important for your success
• How to set priorities
• How to organize your self using simple tools
• Old school (paper and pen vs electronic)
• Eight questions to help PRIORITIZE your daily actions
• Why it’s CRITICAL to have SMART goals and not just a daily checklist

These are just a few of the thing you will learn at this exciting one of kind event. If you fall prey to any of these dream crushers then you owe it to yourself to attend. This event very well could change your whole life.

RSVP NOW and join us at Tampa REIA on Thursday, December 12th at Tampa REIA from 5PM to 9PM at the Ramada Tampa Westshore located at 1200 N Westshore Blvd, Tampa, FL to make the New Year and the New Decade your BEST EVER! We look forward to seeing you there!

As always, Tampa REIA Members can attend our Tampa REIA Main Meeting event at no charge and Non-Members can Register Online for $15 or pay $20 at the door. Be sure to bring your business cards and flyers and join us for an evening of real estate deals, vendors, networking, education and fun! See you there!

*Please Note: Meeting agenda is subject to change.

There is an exciting new shared economy that has created a huge opportunity in real estate to increase your returns and profit, two to three times the regular rental amount of a traditional lease.

The short-term rental model keeps your property in better shape with the average stay of each guest limited to 3-4 days with professional cleanings and inspections in between each stay.

The cycle of evictions and minor rehabs in between each tenant is no longer an issue, along with, less wear and tear on the appliances, as most guests are eating out at local restaurants.

My name is Richard Munroe. On Thursday, December 12th at 5PM Sharp BEFORE the Tampa REIA Event, I will cover how to approach the market analysis and develop a conservative estimate of the short-term rental revenue based on the average nightly rate and the monthly occupancy percentage.

One of the main reasons for this industry’s growth and success is the Air Bnb platform. I will provide an introduction and overview of the platform from a host’s perspective. We will also cover the multiple ways to get started and how to navigate through all the new ordinances and laws on the city, county and state level.

Join me and we will discuss…

• Shared Economy
• Market Analysis
• Air BNB Platform
• Property Options
• Legislative Efforts
• Answers to your questions
• And more!

RSVP NOW and come learn more about the lucrative opportunity that short-term rentals have to offer!

At 5:00 PM in the Main Lobby, we have a Vendor Trade Show that lasts throughout the meeting where you can come out and meet many of our participating Business Members and Vendor Guests who help sponsor our meeting. See a full list of our vendors and sponsors below as they are added.

Vendor tables are limited, so any vendors wanting to reserve a table for the meeting can RSVP for a Vendor Table here. Vendor tables are reserved and setup on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Starting at 6:20 PM, Dustin Griffin kicks off the Tampa REIA Main Monthly Event with updates and announcements. Dustin covers what’s happening at Tampa REIA in the upcoming weeks and months such as upcoming workshops, webcasts, special events, members benefits and much more!

At approximately 6:30 PM, we will be having the Haves & Wants Speed Marketing Session which gives our members the opportunity to quickly market deals they HAVE and to find deals they WANT. We also give our business members the opportunity to get up and say a few words about their businesses. Members who want to participate in the Haves & Wants Marketing Session must bring your flyers and get to the meeting early to get on our list of participants.
