SUMMARY:Contracts 101 - The Purchase and Sale Agreement
DESCRIPTION:*”If it’s not in writing\, it doesn’t exist.”* –Ellen Ticknor\, Real Estate One Corporate Attorney. \nBuying real estate is not like buying a pair of shoes\, or signing a User Agreement. There is time\, big money\, and big resource commitments involved in EVERY transaction. You need to know what you’re committing to. Contracts are not a glamorous part of the business\, but it is a CRITICAL element of your business throughout your career. \nIt never ceases to amaze me the number of investors\, REALTORS\, and others in the investment world who do not understand the CRITICAL importance of contracts\, addendums\, and releases\, nor do they take the time to learn\, IN ADVANCE\, what it is they are signing. Then\, when the inevitable problems\, misunderstandings\, and confusion arise AFTER the fact\, thats where everything unravels\, and adversity grows.\nAs you know\, I’m a strong advocate for A2REIC Members to be PROACTIVE in transactions\, not REACTIVE\, and there is no more important element in the transaction than the contract. It’s not only the SALES contract\, but there are Agency Contracts\, Disclosures\, Addendums\, Contingencies\, etc. It’s always best for you to learn these SOONER rather than LATER\, when\, in the case of contracts\, is often TOO late to learn. \nDuring this fast paced session\, I’ll walk you through a few standard contracts\, common contingencies\, misconceptions\, and required documents created by attorneys that are necessary\, but make no sense.\nAs always\, you’ll get the opportunity to NETWORK\, make new connections\, and build your Inner Circle and Power Team. I hope you’ll join us! \n**During this session\, you will learn:** \n* The Main Components of a Purchase and Sale Agreement\n* Disclosures\n* Contingencies and Dates\n* Addendums\n* Releases \nAnd much more! \nThe Session is fast paced\, information filled\, and will leave you with an ACTION PLAN \n**WHAT IS A LASER CLASS?**\nA Laser Class is a fast paced\, information filled 50 minute session\, designed to give you an Overview of the topic\, a quick\, deep dive of the most important whats\, whys\, and hows\, Resources for further study\, and Action Steps to take TODAY! There is a lot of information\, and Cheat Sheets are provided to help you remember what you learn. \n**WHAT IS SPEED NETWORKING?**\nNetworking is Team Building\, and you need to develop the discipline to communicate quickly and confidently.

SUMMARY:Learn Due Diligence - From Contract to Closing
DESCRIPTION:One you have a signed Purchase Agreement\, the work really begins. You now “CONTROL” the property\, and you need to determine whether and how well the seller has actually represented it. You will need to determine your Wish\, Want\, and Walk scenario from this point on. You must do it accurately\, and you must do it quickly\, because you are on a time clock\, and the seller has taken the property off the market in anticipation of you closing the deal. This is where the rubber meets the road in negotiations\, as you may discover deficiencies that the seller was genuinely unaware of. He may (or may not) be willing to renegotiate in light of new information\, but here is where to have your ducks in a row\, and have your position backed up by rational\, objective evidence. \nDuring this session\, You’ll learn:\n–Getting Started with Title Work.\n–Reviewing books and records\n–Disclosures\n–Inspections.\n–Renegotiation.\n–Coordinating Closing\nand more.\nRSVP now\, and don’t miss this one\nOur sessions are fast paced\, information filled\, and we provide great resources to do your own Deeper Dives.

SUMMARY:"Voices from the Radium Age" - Editor: Joshua Glenn
DESCRIPTION:Hi everyone\, \nBook of the Month:\n“Voices from the Radium Age”\nEditor: Joshua Glenn \nWe will be following up our April contemporary short story collection with a new book celebrating sci fi short stories from the early twentieth century! \nFrom the [Goodreads description](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/58385940-voices-from-the-radium-age)\, “Voices from the Radium Age” features work by the famous (Arthur Conan Doyle\, creator of Sherlock Holmes)\, the no-longer famous (“weird fiction” pioneer William Hope Hodgson)\, and the should-be-more famous (Bengali feminist Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain). It offers stories by writers known for concerns other than science fiction (W. E. B. Du Bois\, author of The Souls of Black Folk) and by writers known only for pulp science fiction (the prolific Neil R. Jones). These stories represent what volume and series editor Joshua Glenn has dubbed “the Radium Age”—the period when science fiction as we know it emerged as a genre. The collection shows that nascent science fiction from this era was prescient\, provocative\, and well-written. \nLet us know in the Comments below which stories you like and feel free to skip one if you’re not digging it. There are always plenty of perspectives and approaches to the format in this collection. \nTo join a Book Club meeting\, all you will need is YOURSELF! If you haven’t had a chance to finish the book\, we still would love for you to join us in the discussion. \nCheers\,\nJon

SUMMARY:Boyne Mountain\, Boyne Highlands and Bay Harbor.
DESCRIPTION:Hello fellow golfers… 🙂 While our trips to the UP have been outstanding\, I have had numerous requests to book an ‘Up North’ golf trip that isn’t quite so far so I have chosen Boyne. Boyne has a collection of 10 golf courses that can compete with any golf resort in the world. They have gotten more expensive the last few years but the golf packages are still a bargain considering what you get. \nI’m looking at the week of June 12\, 2023. I have obtained pricing for 4 rounds / 4 nights – $958.10 per person based on double occupancy… or 5 nights / rounds – $1113.94. This includes lodging\, golf\, carts and practice facilities. I should mention that the practice facilities are very good and unlimited range balls are always included. The price(s) also include surcharges to play the premium courses…Bay Harbor and Arthur Hills. One of the last ‘Shell Wide World of Golf’ episodes was shot at Bay Harbor and matched Phil Mickelson and Tom Lehman. For those of who who have played at my simulator…the large mural on the back wall is from Arthur Hills #13…a tee shot you will never forget! \nMy preference would be to stay at Boyne Highlands as Harbor Springs and Petoskey have more choices for dining. We can still include the courses at Boyne Mountain. Using West Bloomfield as a central starting location\, Bing Maps shows the drive to Boyne Highlands as 3:56 (3 hours and 56 minutes). \nIf you haven’t been on any of my previous golf trips here are the basics. I book 1 round per day…usually in the noon to 1:00pm time frame. This allows lazy mornings to sleep in\, explore or do whatever your heart desires. Also time to warm up prior to the round for those interested. We finish in plenty of time to go out for a nice dinner afterwards. On the last day I try to book earlier so people can hit the road at a decent hour. We generally dine VERY well but people are certainly free to do their own thing. As always…I go up a few days early to play some other courses in the area if anyone else is interested. \nOne last thing…this does NOT replace the UP golf trip. I will be scheduling that again (August 14-18 2023) for those interested. \nI will update as necessary. Hope you can join us!!! \nUpdate 11/8/2022\nOk\, I made reservations for 20 last week however after thinking about it I decided to limit the event to 16. Any larger than that makes dining as a group very difficult. If we build a substantial waitlist I can look at bumping it up again. \nThe details are as follows:\nName: \nBrad Bekowies Confirmation # 143865 \nDate 06/12/23 Course Boyne Mountain – Monument Course Time 12:00-12:40PM # of people 20 \nDate 06/13/23 Course Crooked Tree Golf Club Time 12:00-12:40PM # of people 20 \nDate 06/14/23 Course Bay Harbor Golf Club – The Links/Quarry Time 12:30-1:10PM # of people 20 \nDate 06/15/23 Course The Highlands – Arthur Hills Course Time 12:00-12:40PM # of people 20 \nDate 06/16/23 Course Boyne Mountain – Alpine Course Time 10:00-10:40AM # of people 20 \nThe Golf Package include golf following each nights stay. 18 hole packages are for 10am or after play and unlimited packages reserve up to 2 rounds in advance. \nDear Brad Bekowies\,\nThank you for choosing Boyne Mountain Resort\, The Mountain Grand Lodge and Avalanche Bay.\nPlease review your reservation information listed below:\nConfirmation Number: 143865\nAccommodations: \nTotal Adults: 20\nDeposit Received: $2\,000.00 \nStart thinking about your room mate. I booked 2 rooms for single occupancy. The package cost for these is $1451.89. I booked 9 rooms for double occupancy (2 queen beds). The package cost for these is $1045.88 per person. The package costs include golf including surcharges for Bay Harbor and Arthur Hills courses\, lodging and practice range. It does not include meals. We are staying at Boyne Mountain\, not the Highlands as the prices were better there. A $100 deposit was required for each person which I paid. Boyne will need all of the names and method of payment by April 11\, 2023. Any reservation can be cancelled up until May 28\, 2023 at 5:00pm. For the gamblers in the group Odawa Casino is pretty much right between Boyne Mountain and Boyne Highlands. \nLooking forward to it! If you’ve never been to Boyne before you are in for a treat! If you haven’t signed up yet\, join us!

SUMMARY:"The Long Earth" - Terry Pratchett & Stephen Baxter
DESCRIPTION:Hi everyone\, \nWe’ve been working to find a way to get Sir Terry Pratchett into the rotation and I’m glad to see you all agree. This was the first month with “The Long Earth” on the poll and it was picked by a wide margin. So let’s get into it! \nBook of the Month\nThe Long Earth – Terry Pratchett & Stephen Baxter (2012) \nStephen Baxter\, who is a well-established sci fi author in his own right\, and Pratchett collaborated a number of times before Pratchett’s death in 2015. “The Long Earth” is widely considered some of their best work together. The story revolves around a string of alternate Earths\, all within the same spacetime as our world\, and the ability to “step” between those worlds. In their review of the novel\, [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/books/2012/jun/20/long-earth-terry-pratchett-stephen-baxter-review) found it to be “much more like a Baxter novel than a Pratchett one.” It does not lean as hard on Pratchett’s sense of humor for the engine of the story. It was also said to be “a charming\, absorbing and somehow spacious piece of imagineering.” \nTo join a Book Club meeting\, all you will need is YOURSELF! If you haven’t had a chance to finish the book\, we still would love for you to join us in the discussion. \nCheers\,\nJon

SUMMARY:"The End of Eternity" - Isaac Asimov
DESCRIPTION:Hi everyone\, \nWe have another dimensional\, time-travel novel for August from another heavy hitter of science fiction. “The End of Eternity” is a novel about Eternals\, whose job is to range through past and present and manage their cause-and-effect relationships. \nBook of the Month\nThe End of Eternity – Isaac Asimov (1955) \n“Eternity” works as a futuristic thriller and is particularly effective as a straight-up mystery novel. Where time travel and multiple realities can get muddy\, Asimov manages this story with grace and clarity. Many consider it to be one of his greatest novels. \nTo join a Book Club meeting\, all you will need is YOURSELF! If you haven’t had a chance to finish the book\, we still would love for you to join us in the discussion. \nCheers\,\nJon

SUMMARY:Upper Peninsula Golf Trip - 8/14/23 thru 8/19/23
DESCRIPTION:Merry Christmas all…!!! I can’t believe the weather up there…I hope you are all staying warm. Here is the initial info on next year’s UP golf trip. I have reserved 10 rooms and tee times to accommodate 16 golfers. I will update with current info soon but at least you have the dates for planning purposes. Thx. \nGreetings\, \nLast years golf trip to the UP was a fantastic time with great weather\, golf and dining! I’m planning it again for late August. Island Resort and Casino is located in Harris\, just west of Escanaba. They have some great golf packages. I’m looking at 4 nights and 4 golf courses. The golf courses are Sage Run\, Sweetwater\, Greywalls in Marquette and Timberstone in Iron Mountain. The price for a single is $680. If you double up in a room the price is $520/ea. These prices are all inclusive meaning golf and lodging. This is a GREAT price as Greywalls alone is $180. Timberstone goes for $129. All of the courses are fantastic and play well for all skill levels. There are some great restaurants in Escanaba. Cancelations are allowed up to 48 hours before arrival. I have done this package before and I can tell you the rooms are comfortable and the golf is first class. I’m looking at the 3rd week in August…staying the nights of the 14th – 17th and golfing the 15th – 18th.\nGive it some serious thought\, it is a dream trip. I am open to taking a few passengers and car pooling. I will probably head up early and golf a few courses in the Gladstone area but everyone can obviously do what best fits their schedule. \nBelow are a few links you may want want to check out.
