Join us on the third Wednesday of every month for an informal meet up to discuss real estate with like-minded individuals in the Lake Norman area! This meeting is for wholesaler's, rehabber's, buy/hold, property management, commercial, residential, realtors, contractors, and lenders - newbies to advanced. Bring your business cards and come and network with us! The speaker for this month will be announced soon.

Although the meeting starts at 6:30, please feel free to come even if you are going to be late (we know how traffic and life can get in the way!). Going forward, we will probably aim to keep the meetings to an hour and if you want to stay after to network you are more than welcome!

Just wanted to shoot out a reminder that the Lake Norman Real Estate Meetup is TOMORROW NIGHT!

One of the top three reasons people claim to not be able to do a deal is FUNDING! Daniel Molina, with CIVIC Financial Services (one of the most prominent providers of financing solutions for residential real estate investors nationwide), will cover several topics regarding all things financing but focusing on:

-Qualifications needed to get (a) a baseline loan and (b) a low rate loan
-What investors can do now to prepare for getting their first loan
-Credit repair
-Types of loans available and how they're best used

Please invite or bring anyone you know who may be interested/involved in real estate or just wants to learn more, we welcome anyone and everyone!

See Y'all Tomorrow!

Hello All! Would just like to note there will be NO SEPTEMBER MEETING! We will resume again in October with some great speakers lined up :) 

Are you using direct mail in your real estate investing business?

If you are, it's likely you have noticed your response rates declining or even disappearing all together. Many direct mail response rates are as low as 1% right now.

When you're spending at least $1 per mail piece the costs of direct mail marketing can be sky high! Cost per lead can be as high as $500. That's just for ONE lead.

Bottom line, direct mail is DEAD for real estate investors. BUT your direct mail list is still filled with gold!

At this month's meeting Brooks O'Hearn is going to show you the most efficient way to market for motivated seller leads in 2019.

You will learn:
- How to generate leads online at a fraction of the cost of direct mail without sending a single mail piece.
- Some of the best ways to market your business in 2019.
- How to generate the highest response rates to your marketing.

Brooks is an experienced real estate investor and marketing coach. Over his career, he and his family have flipped $20 Million of single family real estate and he has coached over 1,000 students nationwide to find their own deals and build their own businesses. Brooks has used the power and leverage of the internet to help students create marketing systems that bring a predictable flow of leads into their businesses.

Thank you everyone! We decided to go with rent redi and have liked it so far! Appreciate all of your help!
