- Get rid of all personal items and all family pictures (just neutral furniture and accessories)- Turn on lights before every showing- Open blinds before every showing- Create a flyer with all positive attributes of the house/neighborhood/area/etc- Make sure it smells nice- Paint your front door (it's the first thing the buyer will notice of the "interior"- Leave on a stereo or iPod with speakers playing some soothing/popular music

Also I know milwaukee REIA is pretty active with breakfasts, lunches, guest speakers and such.

Speakers are gurus pitching products, but the pre-meeting Q&A with local investors plus networking is worth the time.

For me, EVERY call will be answered by a native English speaker and I'll get a transcript of every single call the next morning in excel format.

Be careful of the local REIA club meetings, the general meetings are when they bring in speakers to help seperate your money from you, and the local REIA gets up to a 50% cut on the money.

We will be having @Jerry Puckett as our first speaker!!!

Jay Wright, check out the meetup page.http://www.meetup.com/renegadedetroitinvestors/There is supposed to be a speaker but the speaker info has yet to be announced.

Hello BP Nation, I wanted to inform you of an upcoming RE club event in which I will be the main speaker.

Look forward to meeting you there, our events are free, we have local speakers, great networking, and you can order dinner and beverages at the event. 

It's a pretty good organization, lots of meeting and good educational speakers with little sales.
