"A Memory Called Empire" by Arkady Martine
2021-06-27 14:00 - 16:00 (America/Toronto) | Online event
Hi all,
Book of the Month:“A Memory Called Empire” by Arkady Martine
Well, that was a resounding Book Club “yes!” for this month’s book! It started as a close call with “Slynx” but the 2020 Hugo and Nebula award-winning “A Memory Called Empire” took the lead and never looked back.
Called a “brilliant blend of cyberpunk, space opera, and political thriller” by ‘The Verge’, Empire is the story of an ambassador from a small, independent space station who gets embroiled in some galactic intrigue when she arrives in the imperial capital. The worldbuilding is supposed to be on-point and the characters well-developed.
There’s an interesting Q&A with Martine via NPR that gives some more insight into the writing of the book and the themes. It does have some spoilers so maybe hold off until you’ve read the book:https://www.npr.org/2019/04/07/710356506/questions-for-arkady-martine-author-of-a-memory-called-empire
Finally, given that the third Sunday of June is Father’s Day and the fact that our book is over 400 pages, we’re pushing the meeting to the last Sunday of June.
Keep an eye out for a couple of movie nights in June, as well!
To 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. Our Webex meeting went very well this past Sunday, we hope you’ll consider dropping in on April 18th!

Group Coaching - Learn and Build Your Power Team
2021-06-26 09:00 - 10:00 | Online event
All smart investors know that they cannot do it alone, and that they are only as good as their Power Team. You cannot have too strong a Power Team, and you cannot have too large of a Power Team. You need to learn how to strategically build and leverage YOUR Team. You will quickly learn that you not only need a starting line up, but due to the pace of transactions, you need to strategically build bench strength should the occasion arise when your starter is unable to complete the job.
Every investor needs REALTORS, Attorneys, Accountants, Lenders, JV Partners, Contractors, Insurance Agents, Inspectors, Roofers, Plumbers, Electricians, Foundation People, HVAC Techs, and Title Companies, just for starters.
Just starting out, to create this team is overwhelming, to say the least. By coming to this session, and joining A2REIC, you will have a “Plug and Play” Power Team for your business. You’ll have to join us at this session to learn who, their contact information, and areas of specialty.
Don’t miss this one. We look forward to seeing you there.

Group Coaching - Learn SE Michigan Market Updates and How to Select a Market
2021-06-19 09:00 - 10:00 | Online event
Since we’re already halfway through 2021, what better time than now to review the current market, inventory, and trends within individual local markets. Last week, I provided everyone with an update on Ypsilanti, and I plan to provide similar comprehensive reports on some other local markets. We’ll look at market reports relative to the inventory on the market on Saturday, and give an overview on how best to quickly evaluate markets that you might not be familiar with.
I also made everyone aware of a tool at our disposal that can provide analysis for any market in the country, not simply Michigan. This is a great and powerful resource available to our members.
I really appreciate everyone who has been sticking through our Zoom sessions, and I still work very hard to deliver value each Saturday, and strive to provide knowledge, new connections via networking, and a review of new inventory of opportunities on the market.
Don’t miss this one. We look forward to seeing you there.

Group Coaching - Due Diligence Like a Detective BEFORE the Contract
2021-06-12 09:00 - 10:00 | Online event
This Session is FREE for VIP Members and FIRST Time Attendees. If you would like to attend some events, but not commit to an annual membership, I’m introducing a NEW Membership/ Coaching program at a reduced rate.
At our Due Diligence 101 session several weeks ago, we focused on timing, planning, and the critical window between contract to closing. During this session, we’ll focus on how to get “upstream” in your DD, and research your property like a detective, which can likely result in you finding out information that can give you a competitive advantage. We’ll focus on OFFLINE and ONLINE resources, including those that the average investor does not know about. We look forward to seeing you there.
As always, it will be fast-paced, information filled, and designed to teach you something you didn’t know before while networking, and connecting with other like minded investors. I hope you’ll join me!
The A2REIC is about NETWORKING, DEALMAKING, and Coaching. We’d love to help you on your journey.
RENOVATION is the 3rd of FIVE FUNDAMENTALS that investors do every day. Other sessions are:PLANNINGANALYSISMARKETINGNEGOTIATING
Our sessions are fast paced, information filled, and we provide great resources to do your own Deeper Dives. Each session gives you the opportunity to build your professional network, seek out off-market deals, and otherwise gain additional knowledge.

Netflix Party w/ TSFBC: "Midnight Special"
2021-06-10 19:00 - 21:00 | Link Updated Monthly In Event Description, Inside the Internet!, New York, ny, 10001, us
Hi everyone,
We’ll be hosting a TeleParty movie night this Thursday night! We’ll start the movie promptly at 7:00pm. Just RSVP and click the link to join. I’ll post the link to the Teleparty below at 6:30pm.
This time around we’ll be watching the 2016 film “Midnight Special” starring Michael Shannon, Joel Edgerton, and Kirsten Dunst. imdb says it’s a film about “A father and son go on the run, pursued by [people] drawn to the child’s special powers.”
Rogerebert.com has us even more intrigued. It calls “Midnight Special” a film with “…echoes of John Carpenter, Steven Spielberg, and Stephen King bouncing throughout.” That “…So many modern blockbusters err on the side of hand-holding [but] ‘Midnight Special’ respects your intelligence.”
We’ve been looking forward to seeing this for a while now. Let’s watch it together!
TeleParty is an easy-to-install Chrome plugin that syncs up Netflix for everyone who joins the Party and allows us all to text chat during the movie.
Some details about TeleParty:– You’ll want to install this free plugin before Thursday.– Be logged into Netflix before you click the live link when I post it up.– Tele Party does not work on a TV. It will work on most mobile devices and on laptop and desktop computers.– A workaround if you want to watch it on your TV: Wait for us to start the movie and then visually cue them up. Then mute your computer.– There is a 50 person max on a Party room.– Install the Chrome plugin here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/netflix-party-is-now-tele/oocalimimngaihdkbihfgmpkcpnmlaoa
Finally, the movie will start promptly at 7:00pm and we will pause it for a 10-minute intermission half-way through.
Hope to have you join us on June 10th!
