SyracuseCNY REI - Kelley's BarRestaurant - 1st Tues - 12/4 - 7pm

[Rob Sawyer]

Hello Central New York BP Investors!

With the snow starting to fall as I type this, winter is quickly approaching. Now is a great time to make offers on deals. In fact, just the thought of having to maintain and deal with a property through the long winter (especially if vacant) is enough to make people want to flex on their price, especially with favorable (meets their needs) terms. As an investor, it's also a great time to get some deferred interior work done as contractors are typically less busy and looking for work for their best crew members trying to keep them busy over the winter.

With that in mind, we'll be holding our monthly meeting on Tues , 12/4, again at Kelley's and hope to share advice and knowledge on how to get these properties under contract as well as the best way to make offers that will have the best chance of being accepted. But as always, we'll spend time networking with each other and discuss whatever issues are forefront in your www.kelleysbarandrestaurant.com) on Velasko Rd near OCC/Onondaga Hill has kindly offered to host us in their upstairs banquet room that can hold 40 people so let's fill it up! I hope you'll spread the word.

As many of our members have commented, Kelley's is a great location for us and allows us to move around freely and learn from each other!

Although I had to miss our last monthly CNY RE Investors Meetup that was held on 11/6 at Kelley's, Esmir O and Mark Costa stepped in to help in several new members who attended in addition to some of our regular member attendees. The best part of this meetup is the continually changing mix of skills and knowledge everyone brings, even if only some solid tidbits from a BP Podcast or other industry best practices.

Our Dec meeting will be another great opportunity to grab a beverage, or enjoy some tasty Kelley's food and meet some solid contacts doing REI in CNY!

As always, there is no fee to attend other than a willingness to share what you know or have learned with other investors and learn from them what you may not know. Our intent is to make everyone more successful in the region and trading knowledge is vital so we all can do more deals!

Please join us and bring along any other investors with this same mindset. Also, please share any recent happenings for your REI journey, whether new deals, possibilities or goals in the next few months or year and include what you're looking for most at the present time, whether it be financing, a certain type of property or just a certain area in the region you'd like to know more about.

See ya there!
