"The Time Machine" - H.G. Wells
2023-01-15 14:00 - 16:00 (America/Toronto) | Online event
Hi everyone,
January’s Book is a true classic in the field of science fiction. One of the earliest examples of time travel in popular literature, *The Time Machine* is still considered one of the gold standards. While some of the language and themes will feel dated, this short novel packs a punch. I think you will find a certain timeless quality in the writing. Travel with us and this eccentric scientist through the ages! Be sure to keep your hands and feet inside at all times while the vehicle is in motion.
Book of the Month
*The Time Machine* – H.G. Wells (1895)
A reminder that you do not necessarily need to read the book to join us for our Zoom meeting. Hop on in and hang out! Ask questions or just get the vibe. All are welcome 🙂
Cheers,
Jon

Foreclosures 101 - Buying Bank Owned Properties
2023-01-14 09:00 - 10:30 | Online event
Banks are very motivated sellers. Their business is holding mortgages, not actual brick and mortar.
They absolutely HATE the idea of paying money out of pocket for taxes, maintenance, insurance, and utilities. They are very anxious to move these non-performing assets off their books with a quick sale.
During this session, we’ll cover the procedures, protocols, and requirements unique to purchasing Bank Owned properties. During this session, we’ll put our analysis skills into action, and take a look at actual Bank Owned Properties that are actively for sale as of the morning of this MeetUp. We’ll look at the newest listings, and maybe some others that have been overlooked by other investors, but are still viable, and we’ll look at a couple other ways to creatively secure Bank Owned properties that the average investor doesn’t know about. We’ll provide you with a REALISTIC picture of what it takes to purchase properties from a bank. Don’t miss this one!
**During this session, you will learn:**
Finding Deals – Working with REALTORS
Analyze Deals – The Numbers Don’t Lie
Negotiating With The Bank
And more!
The Session is fast paced, information filled, and will leave you with an ACTION PLAN
**AGENDA**
9:00-9:50 – Laser Class
9:50-10:10 – Speed Networking
10:10 – 10:30 – Deal or No Deal

**WHAT IS SPEED NETWORKING?**
Networking is Team Building, and you need to develop the discipline to communicate quickly and confidently. We TEACH you how to improve your Networking Skills while networking.
**WHAT IS DEAL OR NO DEAL?**
We’ll review the weekly Hotsheet of NEW Foreclosure and Multi Family listings NEW on the market, and select one of them for an “On the fly” LIVE analysis to determine whether or not it is a good opportunity or not, along with why or why not. It’s a great exercise to practice your analysis skills.

"The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" - Becky Chambers
2022-12-18 14:00 - 16:00 | Online event
Hi everyone,
Our pick for December nearly won our poll for October and won by a clear margin this month. The other selections we have read from Chambers have been thoughtful investigations of alien worlds and cultures. The Guardian called *Small, Angry Planet* “a quietly profound, humane tour de force” and “exciting, adventurous, and … cozy”. We are looking forward to reading Chambers’ well-received debut novel! More details about the plot below.
Book of the Month
*The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet* – Becky Chambers (2014)
Synopsis: Follow a motley crew on an exciting journey through space and one adventurous young explorer who discovers the meaning of family in the far reaches of the universe in this light-hearted debut space opera from a rising sci-fi star.
A reminder that you do not necessarily need to read the book to join us for our Zoom meeting. Hop on in and hang out! Ask questions or just get the vibe. All are welcome 🙂

BRRRR Strategy 101
2022-12-17 09:00 - 10:00 | Online event
The BRRRR Strategy (formerly known as the Flip to Hold strategy) is perhaps the most popular strategy for investors because, when executed properly, allows you to purchase houses with no money, yet receive all the benefits, as you will have an appreciating asset, with a tenant who pays your mortgage and all other expenses. BRRRR stands for: Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, and Repeat. It is simple in concept, but in reality can be challenging to execute. During this session, I’ll walk you through the BRRRR acronym, connect you to some of the players you will need to have on your team, share some caution flags, and provide you with a REALISTIC picture of what it will take for you to purchase a house using this strategy. I hope you’ll join us!

House Flipping 101
2022-12-10 09:00 - 10:30 | Online event
Make no mistake, FLIPPING Houses is a lot more challenging than it used to be for a number of reasons. Most notably are those HGTV shows that tend to give a lot of folks a lot of false hope, and lure people into situations where they get dollar signs in their eyes, and are in over their heads and get in too deep and wind up in big trouble. The next biggest challenge is finding good and reliable contractors once your FLIP is ready to go. A third challenge is competition, because there are a lot of investors in the market with lots of resources. During this session, we WON’T sell you false hope. We will go over the fundamentals, talk about some Hyperlocal Markets in Southeast Michigan, discuss local contractors and other resources, and provide you with a REALISTIC picture of what it will take for you to flip a house in 2023. I hope you’ll join us!
**During this session, you will learn:**
* Finding Deals – Target Markets, Setting Criteria, Lead Generation
* Analyze Deals – How to Make Good Offers
* Fund Deals – How to Finance, Offer, and Close
* How to Fix – Managing the Rehab Process
* How to Sell – Prep, Marketing, and Selling
And more!

Deal Analysis 101
2022-12-03 09:00 - 10:30 | Online event
Analyzing Deals and Finding Deals are the absolute bread and butter of this business. There are lots of ways to do both, which mean there are a lot of potential rabbit holes to go down that take you nowhere. It takes time to learn the correct formulas, the correct resources to find accurate numbers, as well as practice, discipline, and, most importantly, YOUR plan and your strategies to achieve the results that you want.
During this session, we’ll highlight the importance of creating a plan, sticking to that plan, and how to analyze deals based on different strategies. As usual, we’ll provide you with a hotsheet of current opportunities to analyze, take a LIVE look at a deal or two, and teach you how to become an expert, and develop the discipline you need to become proficient at this critical skill.
As always, or sessions are fast paced, information filled, and we often have the benefit of other experienced investors on the call who share with us their tips, ideas, and methodology of DEAL ANALYSIS. We look forward to seeing g you there!
I cannot stress strongly enough the value of belonging to a supportive community like the A2REIC. Real estate investing is not easy, but it is made easier when you have encouragement, support, knowledge, and experience of fellow members to help you along your journey.

"Solaris" by Stanislaw Lem
2022-11-27 14:00 - 16:00 | Online event
Hi everyone,
As far as classics go, November’s Book of the Month is one on just about every “must-read” list. It was originally published in Polish in 1961, then translated to English and French, and then translated into English on two more occasions (apparently the original and 2011 translations are the best). It has been a radio play, an opera, and a movie (twice!). It’s clearly an engaging story, so let’s jump in!
Book of the Month
*Solaris* – Stanislaw Lem (1961)
Solaris is the story of humans trying to uncover the truth about an alien planet. It has some big ideas and becomes a much more philosophical conversation than the initial brief gives it credit for. Lem was a prophetic and highly popular writer in his time and has a fascinating story. Check our his [Wikipedia entry here for more](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanis%C5%82aw_Lem)
Unfortunately, we will not be able to host this meeting on the third Sunday, as we usually do, due to a work commitment. We’ll go with the fourth Sunday (just after Thanksgiving), instead. Hope to see you there!
A reminder that you do not necessarily need to read the book to join us for our Zoom meeting. Hop on in and hang out! Ask questions or just get the vibe. All are welcome 🙂
Cheers,
Jon

Wholesaling 101
2022-11-26 09:00 - 10:30 | Online event
Wholesale real estate is a short-term business strategy that investors can use to make quick and steady income in the real estate market.
In wholesale real estate transactions, the wholesaler enters into a purchase contract for a property. The contract spells out the amount the wholesaler will sell the property for and the required time period for the sale.
After the wholesale real estate contract is in place, the wholesaler finds an interested investor. Once found, they reassign the contract to the investor at an agreed upon higher price. The difference in prices is known as the wholesale fee.
Wholesalers look for a distressed property. The owner is motivated to sell and doesn’t want to work with a real estate agent.
Wholesale real estate is suited for people interested in real estate transactions but who don’t have the financial wherewithal to actually buy and sell properties.
You don’t need a real estate license to become a wholesaler (but check your local laws to be sure). If you have great people skills and are industrious, wholesale real estate may be right for you.
**During this session, you will learn:**
* How to get started
* What resources and skills you will need.
* The LEGAL Documents needed for a transaction.
* How to create a GREAT Reputation
* Some pleasant and unpleasant realities
* And more!
The Session is fast paced, information filled, and will leave you with an ACTION PLAN

Learn About Duplexes, Triplexes, and Quads
2022-11-19 09:00 - 10:30 | Online event
Many folks in the real estate investing world believe that the fastest way to wealth is through a sustained and systematic approach through investing in residential two-to four-unit multi-family properties. Most investors also believe that these types of properties are the safest way to invest as well.
The reasons behind this are many, but basically, the reasons include, if you do it correctly: They require less out of pocket money than others, conventional lenders like to lend on these more, and that the potential upside of these are better. We’ll cover these ideas and more at this session.
In reality, as you might well imagine, that with these types of properties being the most popular, competition is tough. That is where NETWORKING through this Club, and creative deal finding and deal making strategies come into play. We’ll discuss those too.
Specifically, during this session, we’ll also cover: How to use REALTORS to your advantage, Finding and Analyzing properties, Due Diligence, Making Offers, and more! I look forward to seeing you there!

Free Simulator Golf - Friday afternoon at 3:00
2022-11-18 15:00 - 18:00 | 11071 Olive St, 11071 Olive St, Warren, MI, 48093, us

Learn and Do: Lead Generation and Finding Deals
2022-11-12 09:00 - 10:30 | Online event
Lead generation is oxygen to real estate investors. If you don’t have leads, you don’t have deals. If you don’t have deals, you have no business. If you have no business, well, you know what happens.
The most successful investors have “Acquisitions Managers” whose full time job is generating leads and finding deals. Until you scale your business to that size, you need to be your own Acquisitions Manager, or, better yet– Utilize and leverage the membership of this group, so that we can become not only our own Acquisitions Managers, but become each others’ Acquisitions Managers.
This session, and the FIRST Saturday session of Each Month will be devoted to Lead Generation and finding deals. These sessions will be new each month, and valuable to EVERYONE.
If you’re NEW, you’ll learn the fundamentals, and grasp the concept that Deals are Everywhere, if you just know where and how to look.
If you’re EXPERIENCED, you already know the Oxygen theory, and you also know that you can NEVER have too many good leads.
During this session, well talk about how you find deals through NETWORKING, PROSPECTING, and ADVERTISING. We’ll teach you how to position yourself so deals come to you. We’ll discuss target markets, geographic and demographic farms, and more. We look forward to seeing you there!
I cannot stress strongly enough the value of belonging to a supportive community like the A2REIC. Real estate investing is not easy, but it is made easier when you have encouragement, support, knowledge, and experience of fellow members to help you along your journey.
Each Saturday Session will be in TWO Parts:
PART 1: Topic
PART 2: Hotsheet Discussion of NEW Inventory, Off Market Deals, and Leads.
As a professional courtesy to your fellow members, please log in at 8:50-8:55 so that we may be respectful of everyones time, and start and end on time.
