SUMMARY:Foreclosures 101 - Learn to Buy Bank Owned Properties

We’ll provide you with a REALISTIC picture of what it takes to purchase properties from a bank. Don’t miss this one! \n**During this session\, you will learn:**\nFinding Deals – Working with REALTORS\nAnalyze Deals – The Numbers Don’t Lie\nNegotiating With The Bank\nAnd 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!

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
