Business cards help if you have some. If not, dont worry about it! Other than that, just come with a smile! See you there.

Why 83.7% of wholesalers go out of business during a real estate downturn, and how you can avoid being one of them with creative financing.
Is wholesaling investing or a day job? What happens when cash buyers go away? What happens when foreign investors realize paying 105% of ARV is not a good investment and pull out of the market.
When the housing market tumbled in 08/09, a lot of seasoned investors lost their shirts. Inventory took longer to move if it did at all. Those wholesalers who only made money flipping contracts got wiped out. Their lack of cashflow caused them to exit the business and get day jobs.
Join us Thursday, February 25 for our next Houston Real Deal Meeting. We will show you our own techniques on how we structure deals. We will go through our thought process….how we calculate the numbers….how we determine the net present value of our offer….and most importantly how we negotiate the deal.
Ray Sasser will facilitate the discussion. He has over 34 years of real estate expertise and has done hundreds of deals...many of them using the same methods we will be walking through.
The market has been on an absolute rocket upwards in the past few years, but it is showing signs of a shift. Oil prices have plummeted….houses are sitting on the market for longer….
Are you going to be ready to capitalize or will you be another statistic?
Don’t give up your dayjob for another one as a wholesaler. Come to the meeting and find out how you can be a Real Deal Maker.
Good deals can be found, but Real Deals are created.

2016 - What will this year bring? Will the market go up, stay steady, or crash?

Welcome to real estate investing!
I generally give the seller a choice of whether to use the 1-4 TREC or a shorter (and easier to understand) two pager. Both of them will state in them that the contract is assignable.
Good luck!

@Hernan Dobal and @Roland Thomas - Thanks for RSVPing. Look forward to seeing you.
@Benjamin Blackburn - Glad you enjoyed the last meeting and can't wait to catch up with you in December (if not earlier). We will find something interesting to do or give away as a door prize.
For those of you who did not make it to the November meetup, one of the attendees (Janine) won the opportunity to tag along with us for the next few weeks (beginning this Saturday) as we rehab a house. She will get to see the project from start to finish.
My issue now is we have to find a way to top that door prize this month.
RSVP today by dropping a line here or using the link in my signature.

Last meetup of the year! We had a huge crowd last month, and I expect it will be the same this time.
Join us and we'll show you how to get ready for the new year.
Also, we will walk through our due diligence process and show how we buy houses in the current Houston market. The market is steadily changing, so you want to keep up to date.
