It is a complete waste of money 

Hello Everyone!

As I am sure you are all aware, due to the COVID-19 outbreak we are encouraged by our government officials to practice social distancing for the next few weeks. Following these recommendations, we will be postponing our event until it is safe to gather in large groups again. Please keep an eye out in the coming weeks for information regarding our new event date. We hope that everyone is staying safe and taking the necessary precautions in these difficult times.

@Share Ross @Oscar Jacome Just wanted to let you guys know that due to conflicting meetup events we have changed the date to MARCH 24th! 

With the event less than four weeks, we want to make sure everyone has saved their seat by selecting “going” on the meetup page below:

@Mya Toohey That would be great! Hope you can make it to one of our events in West Palm! 

Over the last few years, short-term vacation rentals have become a hot topic of discussion among real estate investors, homeowners, and travelers alike. Who wouldn’t love the idea of renting out a room or two in their home so they can make extra money on the side? Or as a landlord, the idea of getting above market rents is definitely enticing. Platforms such as AirBnB and VRBO have made it easier than ever to enter this niche, but what does it really take to run a successful short-term vacation rental business? How do you know what the vacancy rate will be? How do you know what to list the property at? How can you screen applicants? How can you be competitive? Why would you consider hiring a manager?

At this event we will be hearing from a short-term vacation rental veteran, Emanuele Pani, who has been utilizing this unique real estate investing strategy since 2010. As a young Sardinian immigrant Emanuele got started with his first listing on VRBO, when hardly anyone knew of this niche! Over the last several years, his business has snowballed with his experience ranging from that of an investor, real estate agent and property manager, offering short term rental management to both investors and local communities. Emanuele’s management allows others the opportunity to leverage his experience in the sector so they can take advantage of the flexibility and profitability of short-term vacation rentals, without having to deal with the high standards and demands that accompany entry into the hospitality industry. Additionally, Emanuele has a personal rental portfolio of 150 units as a partner in Domu Private Investments, a rapidly growing investment group that focuses on investing in middle America.

In addition to this valuable information, SNACKS, WINE, BEER, SOFT DRINKS and GIFT BAGS will be provided for attendees! There are also RAFFLE PRIZES to be won from the business card drawing. This meeting is people at any point in their investing journey; whether they are just getting started or have decades of investing experience! We are here to support one another in the pursuit of financial freedom and prosperity.

We look forward to seeing you!

Many investors have their hands full with managing real property or real estate projects which can be both time consuming and resource intensive. Mortgage investing is a little-known area of real estate that will allow you to invest with:

Less time
Less money
Less risk
Substantial returns

At our next event, we will be hearing from Daphne Wilson, an experienced investor who has been adding this non-traditional investment vehicle to her portfolio for over four years. Daphne will be sharing with us how mortgage note investing works and how other women can benefit from adding mortgages to their investment portfolio. You will learn:

How traditional real estate investing compares to mortgage investing
The advantages of investing in mortgages
The risks involved and how to manage them
The 5-step investment process
How to use mortgage investments to pay off large debt

In addition to this valuable information, SNACKS, WINE, BEER, SOFT DRINKS and GIFT BAGS will be provided for attendees! There are also RAFFLE PRIZES to be won from the business card drawing. This meeting is for WOMEN at any point in their investing journey; whether they are just getting started or have decades of investing experience! We are an enthusiastic group of women, supporting one another in the pursuit of financial freedom and prosperity.

So you want to invest in real estate but don’t know where to start? Understanding the legal implications that come along with real estate investing can seem like a daunting task. Luckily, we have attorney Kristie Estevez-Puentes on our side to make it seem a little less scary! We will explore the best entity options to begin with as a Real Estate InvestHER, as well as discuss key points about the investing process.

Kristie is an experienced real estate attorney & title agent conveniently located in Hollywood, FL with satellite offices in Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties. Whether you are looking to buy, sell, re-finance, or invest, her wealth of knowledge of all aspects of real estate will prove to be invaluable to your transaction, making the closing process painless. Kristie is a huge believer in women helping women, regularly planning networking events with other women attorneys. Having “boot strapped” building a successful business and law practice, she most importantly believes in paying it forward.

Whether you want to fix and flip, rent and hold, or wholesale (her favorite!) there is something for everyone. Come with questions and remember there is always enough business for everyone. She looks forward to being part of your team and helping you conquer your biggest challenges and build your empire!
