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!

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!

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.

Join Don DeRosa every month at 5PM SHARP at our Meeting-Before-the-Meeting that we like to call the High Tech Home Buying Creative Deal Structuring Subgroup one hour BEFORE the Tampa REIA Main Monthly Event.

There is nothing worse than losing a deal because you didn’t know the right things to say when negotiating with the seller. Does the fear of this happening prevent you from achieving your goals? Negotiating may seem scary to many people because they are afraid of offending the seller and don’t want to go in with a “low-ball” offer. Don DeRosa is here to help!

Don is a leading expert on negotiations and he wants to share with you what he knows to help you overcome your fears and achieve your goals. On Thursday, Don will be teaching:

• 3 variables to every negotiation
• How to recognize non-verbal clues and use them to your advantage
• How to plan and gather information for successful negotiations
• How to use state of the art tools to do all your negotiating for you

Negotiating does not have to be something that makes you shudder. Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn about successful negotiating from an expert real estate investor who negotiates killer deals every day!

Each month, Don will teach you about different real estsate 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. You’ll learn to work less and earn more so you can spend more time where you want, when you want and with whom you want.

In a competitive market it is absolutely essential that you understand how to make offers very very quickly. It could mean the difference between a complete waste of your time because someone beat you to it,or the deal of a lifetime.

Understanding your numbers and your ability to quickly assess ARV (After Repair Value), repairs, holding costs and selling costs are the corner stones of every successful real estate business. Knowing how to do this and do it accurately is not very difficult. However, doing it accurately and QUICKLY is something totally different.

Becoming a mobile real estate investor is more important now than ever before. Being able to do your due diligence, evaluate properties, sign contracts and manging everything from contract to close right in the palm of your hands is no longer just a nice thing to have. It is now an essential part of every real estate investor. It will give you the edge that you need in a very competitive market place.

We will show you:

• What are the most important questions to ask sellers every time you meet them (16 to be exact)
• How to determine After Repair Value in seconds
• How to SWAG repairs lightning fast so you can get your house under contract before anyone else
• How to sign contracts, order title and finish all your paperwork before you ever leave the sellers house
• How to perform hours of due diligence in minutes just by a few clicks of a button

Please join us at Tampa REIA Main Meeting on Thursday, October 10th from 5PM to 9PM at the Ramada Tampa Westshore located at 1200 N Westshore Blvd, Tampa, FL where our special guest speaker will be Joe Dillon who will be talking about Advanced Wholesaling Strategies on “How to Structure a 7-Figure Wholesaling Operation to Generate Massive Amounts of Leads & Have Consistent Deal Flow!”

Let’s face it. The wholesaling business isn’t as easy as we thought it would be, especially in a competitive market like Tampa Bay. However, we all want that freedom that a truly automated real estate business can can give us, so what do we do?

In Joe’s presentation, he’s going to cover how to structure your Real Estate Company so that you can build a business that runs without you and be well on your way to earning 7 figures like you’ve always dreamed.

Joe says “The first thing we’ll go over are the different stages of scaling your business. There are different actions you need to take at certain points of scaling your business. We’re going to cover what these stages are, how to know when to go to the next stage, as well as common roadblocks you’ll encounter at each stage.”

We’ll dive into the 3 departments of a Wholesaling business: Marketing, Acquisitions, and Dispositions. We’ll cover the key processes you need to implement within these departments to have an optimized operation. You should have a sophisticated Marketing plan every month so you can generate a ton of leads at low cost.

Next, you need to convert as many of those leads as possible into contracts, so we’ll cover ninja Sales tactics to close more deals and lead management to manage your leads better than ever.

Lastly, once you have more contracts I’ll teach you Dispositions hacks so you can increase your average deal size by 20-30%.”

RSVP NOW and you’ll leave the meeting with a ton of golden nuggets to implement and a well-rounded vision for your New Advanced, Automated Wholesaling Business!
