Beat the Heat at REIN’s July meeting….
Networking and Deal Making at the REIN Education Center
Many REIN Members take the Winter months off to rest, relax, and refinance. But in July.... LOOK OUT! REIN Members are BUSY finding, fixing, flipping, leasing, optioning, and selling deals.
Now is your chance to tell about yours and hear about theirs!
Make your plans now to join us at REIN's General Monthly Meeting on Monday, July 11th, 2011 from 6 pm to 9 pm at the REIN Education Center.
Here's the plan for this Special Event:

Visit www.REINtn.org/food to see nearby food choices.
6:45 to 7:15 pm Deal or No Deal - Open Mic Style
Bring your best sales pitch to this! Raise your hand and have 30 seconds to tell the crowd what real estate deals you want to buy or sell. Or that you have or need money. Rules: keep it clean, keep it short, and keep it about your real estate needs or wants.
7:15 to 8:30 pm Q & A - Roundtable Style
Long-time REIN Members know this as the original Table Topics part of our meetings from years ago. Each table will have a topic for discussion. Rentals, rehabbing, lease options, wholesaling, and so on. Choose your table and stay as long as you want. Hop up quietly and move to another table as you wish.
8:30 to 9 pm Q & A and Informal Networking (or head home to relieve the babysitter)
