The Tampa REIA Onsite Renovation Group is an exciting new educational and networking group that focuses on the acquisition, renovation and retail resale (fix & flip) or rental (buy & hold) of single or multi family residential homes in the Tampa Bay Area. The purpose of the group is to allow both new and experienced rehabbers and investors to meet, network, share knowledge and learn from each others successes and mistakes while getting “hands on” experience at real rehab properties.

The Onsite Renovation Group meets on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 1:00PM at an active renovation site, build site or rental property which will vary from month to month and be announced prior to the meeting on the Tampa REIA Calendar.

Come join us to learn how to rehab houses for big profits the right way… you will be glad you did!

Please join us at Tampa REIA Main Meeting on Thursday, November 14th from 5PM to 9PM at the Ramada Tampa Westshore located at 1200 N Westshore Blvd, Tampa, FL where our special guest speaker will be Chris Rood who will be talking about “Why Most People Fail as Entrepreneurs”.

Chris says “I have been an entrepreneur for 18 years and I know what it takes to have a successful business and what it takes to scale a Real Estate Investing business to 6 markets in 4 states!

The secret is not what you think it is. It’s not a secret mailing list or some secret Facebook ad. This piece of advice hovers above all tactical marketing skills”

Join me at Tampa REIA where I will be covering why most people fail as Real Estate Entrepreneurs and Entrepreneurs in general. I will be covering why you can’t scale you’re wholesaling business. Why you don’t have to do 20 deals a month to make a lot of money in this business.

I will be covering why you have to be dynamic as an investor and not be a one trick pony. Why your personal and family life have to be in order to be successful and how to brand yourself in your market.

Join Chris at the Tampa REIA Meeting where he will be covering…

• Wholesaling
• Wholetailing
• Flipping
• Private money
• Mobile home parks
• Personal development
• Answering your questions
• And more!

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.

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
• How to find sellers in seconds
• How to eliminate old antiquated filing systems and put it in the palm of your hands

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!

My name is Vicky Schettini. I am a single mom and in 2014 I was suffering from the empty nest syndrome. Living from paycheck to paycheck with only $25.00 to spare, I decided to build my Legacy and Wealth. I was ready to start investing in buy and hold properties. Desperately wanting and needing the security of passive income, I decided to move across country from California to Jackson, MS to be closer to my only daughter.

Things didn’t go as planned and I ended up homeless in a new town where I didn’t know a single person. I was on a mission to build my wealth and decided to do whatever it takes to succeed. I quickly started networking with anyone and everyone possible. I was laughed at and hung up on many times but failure was not an option, so I pushed on.

I finally found an investor who was willing to sell me one of his houses with owner financing. I had to be very creative in ways to come up with the down payment since I was broke. I was finally able to move into my new home and I only had $500 to my name. I taught myself how to rehab the property and put back on the market and had it rented within 4 hours! I have been creative in acquiring more properties and duplicating what I had done ever since.

In just short 4 years, I have exceeded my own goals. I own over 100 single family properties, 4 apartment complexes plus I am still to this day an active investor with a full team helping me. My portfolio continues to grow monthly. In the beginning, I didn’t have any money or credit, but that didn’t stop me from achieving my goals and dreams.

Today, my mission now is to help 1 million people just like me reach financial freedom. I want to teach you what I did and how you can duplicate my system of success.

At the Tampa REIA Meeting I will teach you…

• Creative ways to make money right away
• The Bullet Proof Offer
• Security
• Be in the top 1% of wealthy investors
• The unstoppable mindset
• Answers to your questions and more!

If you have the drive to build your wealth, then I can easily teach you the rest. Please join me on Thursday, August 8th at Tampa REIA from 5PM to 9PM at the Ramada Tampa Westshore located at 1200 N Westshore Blvd, Tampa, FL to learn more! I look forward to seeing you there! RSVP NOW!
