Welcome back, KREIA members! I hope you had an excellent winter break and are ready to hit the ground running in 2018, because all signs are pointing toward another EXCELLENT year for real estate investors! If you’re already doing your marketing and networking for deals, you should have no problem selling real estate this year.
Eric George
If you’re new to the game or not already doing consistent marketing to bring in leads for motivated sellers, then make sure you attend this month’s meeting and Saturday workshop on Marketing & Wholesaling for Fast Cash!
This is always one of our most requested topics, and we’re expecting more than 200 people to attend the monthly meeting. Last year over 50 people attended the Saturday workshop, where we spent six hours with local wholesaling experts digging deeper into the “how-to’s” and “things to avoid.” And for only $99, the workshop is simply a BARGAIN for all the knowledge and expertise you’ll gain! Don’t wait — pre-register now. Go to KREIA.com and sign up today before it’s sold out! Lastly, please remember, KREIA is completely run by volunteers for the benefit of all members to learn, network, and educate one another. Without our members and volunteers, KREIA could not exist. If you’d like to give back to KREIA and volunteer in any way, please let me know! Eric George KREIA President
