Stop being a DREAMER – start being a DO-ER!

Take your ideas and dreams – and make them come true with REIN’s Featured Speaker for June 2011.

Part-Timers – Working your job and trying to invest in real estate means you need to be EXTRA SHARP in order to grow your investing business AND be profitable.

Full-Timers – Has your real estate investing become like a job?  And you are ready to move it to the next level?

In today’s business world less than half of new small companies will remain open for business for five years.

We have asked Susan DePue to share with you her formula – yes, a formula – that you can apply to your business and then watch it grow. Whether your business is part-time or full-time, this formula works in today’s economy.  And you can get it Monday, June 13, 2011, from 7:15 pm to 9 pm.

This formula is not mysterious… it is a science.  But it’s a little magical, too, because this formula ALWAYS works:

- with an established company’s stagnant business
- with a brand new undefined business
- and (most importantly) with YOUR business!

Susan calls this formula THE GROWTH POINTE FORMULA.  It is your Growth Pointe Strategy – your GPS – for business growth.

In 2009, Susan used this formula with a well established company… they grew 53.3%!

In 2010, Susan used this formula with an already profitable company and they grew an additional 60%!

Are you ready to blast off with your own business GPS?  Bring friends, family and business parters to this meeting you can’t afford to miss!

Register today and join us Monday, June 13, at 7:15 pm in Room 108 of the Swang Business Center, Lipscomb University, 3901 Granny White Pike, Nashville, TN 37204

Don Beck Rocks REIN with Latest Buy and Hold Rental Secrets

The average life of a landlord is three years.

No, they don’t die—but they do get out of the business... because they didn’t screen properly, use a landlord-friendly lease, or have a strong control system in place.

On March 14th, Don teaches REIN Members and Guests hard-won advice on the most profitable strategies and methods for managing those rental properties that you bought for “no money down.”Don Beck left a tenured teaching position after only five years of investing to manage full time his growing real estate portfolio.

It is Don's contention that too many people learn the no money down concepts and other fancy acquisition techniques and then fall flat on their faces because they have no idea of how to control tenants.

Before they know it, the tenants are controlling them by not paying the rent! And the positive cash flow property quickly turns negative. Smart Investors avoid this trap by putting as much time and effort into learning good property management skills as was spent learning creative ways to buy property.

Thousands of students from around the country have benefited from Don's tried and proven "Down to Earth Landlording" techniques that he shares with REIN.

Don is a real leader.  He has been President of Philadelphia's Diversified Real Estate Investor Group and has served as Board of Directors and Training Cruise Chairman for the National Real Estate Investors Association.  His accomplishments have been featured on CNBC, Smart Money magazine, and numerous radio talk shows.

Don's training at REIN will jump start you into doing the things that make the difference between success and failure.
