Getting to the Next Level with your Investing
How to increase your Wealth exponentially with Apartments

Why not take the same time, energy and money that you're putting into buying a one unit property and buy a 10 unit property? A 20 unit property? A 50+ unit property? Anthony Chara made the switch from SFH's to Multi-Family in 2004 when he received this same advice from one of his mentors.

Now, with over 1400 apartment units and counting, and a total asset value well in excess of $42MM ranging from 14 units in Oklahoma to 410 units in Indianapolis, Anthony has the experience to teach you how to buy both small and large apartment complexes to increase your wealth substantially. Anthony’s motto, “Why buy 1 when you can buy 10!” Don’t get him wrong, he’s not suggesting that investors stop buying SFH’s. He just wants to provide you with another tool for your toolbox to help fill in some of the valleys that many investors experience in between finding their ‘next’ SFH investment.

Anthony Chara is a seasoned Real Estate investor that has successful investing and property management experience dating back to 1993. After 16 years working for a fortune 500 company and traveling extensively it was time for a change.  Mr. Chara gave up his lucrative Area Manager position in which he managed 35 electronic technicians in 7 states and a $3M budget so he could spend less time traveling and more time creating wealth for his family. He started and sold several service oriented companies until turning to Real Estate investing full time in 2001.

Presently, he's managing partner of Apartment Mentors, LLC and founder of Success Classes, LLC. He has owned or managed several successful multi-million dollar companies during the last 20+ years. Mr. Chara owns properties in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas.

He has mentored several thousand aspiring RE investors. Mr. Chara also volunteers and supports several worthy charities such as the American Red Cross, Denver Rescue Mission, Habitat for Humanity and the Wounded Warrior Project.

Mr. Chara turned to Apartments full time in 2004. He owns and/or has syndicated approximately 1400 apartment units around the country. These units range from 14 units in 1 complex in Oklahoma to 179 units in Indianapolis. His most recent acquisitions include a 120 unit complex in Nacogdoches, TX (November, 2011), a 4-complex portfolio totaling 410 units in Indianapolis, IN (December, 2012) and a 3-complex portfolio totaling 120 units in Dayton, OH (July, 2013).

In 2005, Mr. Chara decided to capitalize on recent RE market trends to offer superior technical training to RE Investors specifically targeting commercial investing with an emphasis on Apartment complexes. Mr. Chara’s techniques teach people how to become wealthy ‘deliberately’ using Apartments to generate massive cash flow and ‘forced’ appreciation.

His expertise was integral in the growth and launch of dozens of startups, including Total Entertainment Network (acquired by Electronic Arts), UpShot Corp.

Our meetings are FUN and full of active investors doing deals all around the Puget Sound area.

Our main event is held monthly on the 4th Thursday and is open to the public. Most of these meetings will be at the Bellevue Red Lion Hotel but this month we are hosting a special networking event in Mercer Island. Members can attend this meeting free. Guests are $20 online or $25 at the door. If you have never attended one of our main events then just use coupon code “guest” at checkout to register for free for your first meeting.

What is Bee-Hive Networking?
Only the greatest, most successful, most dynamic and most popular new networking activity ever created. It is a business building activity that allows you to find exactly what you are looking for in a very short period of time. There are no elevator speeches, no selling, and no fears or discomforts.

Why should you attend this event?

REAPS is growing! That means we have a influx of new talent in our community and that's a GREAT thing for our long-time members and our new members alike. Come find out who knows the people you need to know! If you have a product or a service that you think would be a great fit for our members, come use the HIVE to find the right customers. If you are a new investor you are trying to build your team. Come use the HIVE to find the best referrals for your new team. If you are an experienced investor and a long-time member of REAPS then come and find NEW deals, NEW money, and NEW talent to refine your team.  

http://reapsweb.com/

How does Bee-Hive Networking work?

Attendees will be broken in to groups of 5 people each. For each round, there is one QUEEN BEE and one WORKER BEE in the group of 5. The QUEEN BEE tells the WORKER BEE what he/she is looking for (Examples - Looking for real estate investors, hard money lenders, a joint venture partner, etc.). The WORKER BEE then goes around to the other "hives" (group of 5 people) and asks each group, "Who knows of any real estate investors, hard money lenders, people who want to partner on a deal, etc?" If someone in the HIVE knows a real estate investor, hard money lender, or someone who wants to partner on a deal, etc, he/she hands the WORKER BEE a business card. At the end of the round (traditionally 5 minutes), the WORKER BEE comes back and hands the QUEEN BEE dozens of cards from people that can help him/her find real estate investors, hard money lenders, joint venture partners, etc. It's that simple and it works EVERY TIME!

Many of you may already know the Wolff Couple, Brian and Lynette, since they’ve spoken for us during Ron LeGrand's bootcamp last year.  For over 10 years they’ve been teaching students all across the country about the 8 Real Estate Investing Deals that make big money.  Over that time the Wolffs have worked alongside respected guru Ron LeGrand, creating investing systems with him and also teaching his events.  Lynette and Brian have over 40 years of combined experience in real estate, both starting as Realtors.  In new home sales Lynette set the Arizona state record for 41 homes sold in one month (she’ll teach you how to use urgency and the right scripts to sell your houses fast)!  Brian was the #1 Salesperson in the nation for Ameriquest Mortgage, and he also managed an office for them (now he’s an expert in structuring Pretty House financing). 

Then the Wolffs found Ron LeGrand and creative Real Estate Investing.  They got their life back and made more money than ever.  They’ll show you how YOU CAN TOO!  They continue to have a thriving investing business today, and they’ll demonstrate how to duplicate their amazing Automation Systems so you can work less and make more. The Wolffs believe that “The System is the Solution.”  Brian comes from a family of engineers, and he’s taken that “thinker brain” attention to detail and applied it to all his Checklists for Real Estate Investing.  He graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Minnesota and wrote movies in L.A. for years, and he used that experience to put together powerful Scripts for every Closing Call and every objection you face as an investor.  That automatically gives you so much confidence!

Lynette brings so much energy and enthusiasm to every event and every call.  Her motto is “Take Action!”  After she teaches you how, you’ll be raring to Take Action yourself and close more deals!  She loves making the LIVE Closing Calls that the Wolffs are famous for, that make their students cash money! The Wolffs teach in such a warm and conversational tone, they make it very easy and enjoyable to learn.  They even show real-world investing scenarios role-played up on the screen, and everyone role plays and gets involved.  Lynette also loves to give out lots of free stuff, shirts and cups and other goodies, plus 3 grand prizes worth thousands of dollars.  People call the Wolffs the best entertainers in the business, they definitely get everybody up and moving!  While the Wolff Couple are both funny and lots of fun, they are also deadly serious about teaching you exactly what it takes to make big money the quickest and easiest ways. The Wolffs focus heavily on teaching the Key Habits of Successful Investors, and how you can install them in your own business immediately.  One of the crucial concepts they stress is that “Habits Determine Destiny.”  The Wolffs’ 8 Step-by-Step Checklists for every kind of deal are renowned and revolutionary for your business.  So is their massively time-saving “Quick Start Daily Plan”, which keeps you perfectly focused on developing the right Habits in your first 30 days.  The Wolff Couple also understand how success truly has more to do with the emotional side of the business than the mechanics of it.  They know that the one main thing that holds people back is Fear, so they teach a special session on the “20 Surefire Techniques to Master All Fear.” 

The Wolffs love helping their students overcome any and all obstacles to reaching their goals.  They truly care about their students, and their mission is to help investors everywhere “Take Action!”  Successful Investors all across America use the Wolff Couple’s proven Systems, Scripts, and powerful Checklists every day to make big checks.  You definitely do not want to miss the amazing Wolff Couple!
