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:

6:00 to 6:45 pm    Informal Networking and Dinner on your Own – feel free to bring your dinner to the meeting
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)

9 pm         Depart for home or your “Meeting After the Meeting”

Don’t forget to bring your business cards and buy and sell flyers to this meeting at the REIN Education Center, 2416 Music Valley Drive #151, Nashville, TN 37214.

*  Please make note of the location change for this General Monthly Meeting ONLY.

What about Lipscomb?  Lipscomb University is our regular monthly meeting place, but they have a big, annual conference that week that prevents us from meeting at Lipscomb in July.  We will be back at Lipscomb as usual for a massive August 8th meeting.

Announcing a NEW bREakout $ession – The Talking Spot

Join us at the next General Meeting at 6 pm for Networking, Deal Making and Relationship Building with Fellow Investors.  As you may know, our meeting place has classes going on during our meeting time.  This room is your place to meet, mix, and mingle with other attendees.  Bring your business cards to this one!

How to Find Deals in Today's Real Estate Market

Investing in Vacant Residential Building Lots

This will provide a preview to the Aug. 14th Property Tax Foreclosure Auctions & Vacant Residential Building Lots Seminar and Tour.

New Home Construction
