Dave Ramsey as Main Speaker – Nashville – January 11th
At the January Nashville Main Meeting, Dave Ramsey, the personal money-management expert, extremely popular national radio personality, and the best-selling author of The Total Money Makeover, will inspire you beyond belief. You don’t want to miss this opportunity.
Ramsey knows firsthand what financial peace means in his own life—living a true rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches story. By age 26, he had established a four-million-dollar real estate portfolio, only to lose it by age 30. He has since rebuilt his financial life and now devotes himself full-time to helping ordinary people understand the forces behind their financial distress and how to set things right—financially, emotionally, and spiritually.
In his latest book, a follow-up of his enormously successful New York Times best sellers Financial Peace and More Than Enough, Ramsey exemplifies his life’s work of teaching others how to be financially responsible so they can acquire enough wealth to take care of loved ones, live prosperously into old age, and give generously to others.
Ramsey offers life-changing financial advice as host of a nationally syndicated radio program, The Dave Ramsey Show, which is heard by nearly 4.5 million listeners each week on more than 450 radio stations throughout the United States.
Ramsey is the creator of Financial Peace University (FPU), a 13-week program that helps people dump their debt, get control of their money, and learn new behaviors around money that are founded on commitment and accountability. More than one million families have attended FPU classes at their workplaces, churches, military installations, local nonprofit organizations, community groups, and Spanish-speaking institutions. The average family pays off $5,300 in debt and saves $2,700 in the first 91 days after beginning FPU and is completely out of debt, except for the mortgage, in 18 to 24 months.
Ramsey created a group of products in an effort to teach children about money before they have a chance to make mistakes. Foundations in Personal Finance is an all-inclusive school curriculum that is currently in more than 10,000 education programs. Financial Peace Jr. is an instructional kit designed to help parents teach their young children about working, saving, and giving their own money. Through Ramsey’s entertaining children’s book series, The Super Red Racer, Careless at the Carnival, The Big Birthday Surprise, My Fantastic Fieldtrip, A Special Thank You, and Battle of the Chores, children learn about working, saving, giving, budgeting, integrity, and debt.
On October 15, 2007, Ramsey added television host to his title when The Dave Ramsey Show on the Fox Business Network debuted nationally.
Ramsey earned his bachelor of science degree in finance and real estate from the University of Tennessee. A frequent speaker around the country at large-scale live events, Ramsey is a passionate and inspiring presenter who is at ease on both sides of the microphone. More than 700,000 people have attended Ramsey's live events.
Past & Future Stories – Nashville SIG – January 11th
The REIN Seasoned Investment Group (SIG) was organized to expose the veteran and/or more established REIN members to investment options other than real estate. But SIG as a group undoubtedly has years of successful investing experience. In the January SIG meeting, we want you to share a few of your best and most positive investment experiences (real estate or otherwise) with your fellow SIG members. Some of our deals will far and away exceed some of the opportunities other non-REIN members have brought to us. So, go ahead! Strut your stuff!! How did you find the opportunity? What were the details? Is the investment still active? What kind of investment capital was required? Feel free to share as much or as little as you are comfortable sharing, and bring copies of any information that you feel will be helpful.
In addition, since it is a new year, let's talk about what you would like to have happen in 2010. What types of presentations have you found most beneficial? What presentations weren’t so helpful? Why? Ed Meek, REIN president for 2010, will sit in as well and will be interested in suggestions, and will have a question or two for SIG members as well.

An A-to-Z Guide to Getting $$$ from Bad Tenants – Nashville Main Presentation – April 12th
Most tenants are great! They pay on time. They take care of your place. They don’t park their cars in the yard.
However, there are a few that don’t follow the rules… and you want to know what you can do to stay within today’s laws.
This month’s General Meeting Presentation will feature two Metro General Sessions Judges and a Real Estate and Collections Attorney. (Info about them below)
At this meeting, you will learn:
- when and how to start an eviction
- what you can’t do or say to a non-paying tenant
- whether you should accept a partial rent payment – and if you do, what you ABSOLUTELY need to write on the check before you deposit it
- how long it takes to get’em out of your place
- who does the dirty work of telling the tenant
- when you should ask for the money you are owed or “possession only”
- what you need to bring to court
- what you DON’T need to bring to court
- how cases are settled
- what a judgment is and what it means
- how you can – and can’t – collect on a judgment
You’ll hear it all, because these experts will take YOUR questions, too.
Make your plans to attend right now!
ABOUT OUR SPEAKERS:
Our first honored guest is Judge Leon Ruben, a native Nashvillian who attended public schools and received his undergraduate degree from Vanderbilt and his law degree from the Nashville School of Law. If you have to sue tenants, there's a good chance you will visit Judge Ruben's court.
Our second honored guest is Judge Dan Eisenstein, an Economics graduate of the Wharton School of Finance and a Law graduate from Memphis State Law School. Dan has worked in the education and mental health fields and as an attorney. Judge Eisenstein hears landlord-tenant cases every week.
Our third honored guest is Robert "Bob" Notestine, an attorney with 28 years' experience and a long-time friend of REIN. After getting tenant judgments, Bob works to get them collected for his clients.
BRING YOUR QUESTIONS! This session will allow for questions from you. If you prefer not to stand up and ask your question in front of others, simply write your question legibly on a piece of paper. And bring it to the meeting.
Before you forget about this, pull out your calendar now. Go to April 12, 2010. Enter this event. And we will see YOU at the Shriner's in Nashville!
