Monthly Meeting Tomorrow Night

Al — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 18:25:11 +0000

If you’ve been reading the NOREIA weekly e-mail updates and your newsletter (you have been reading them haven’t you?) you may be tired of hearing this but….You really need to be at the meeting tomorrow night. Equity Trust, one of the leading custodians of self directed IRAs in the country will have a representative at the meeting to discuss self directed IRA investing.

Did you know you can purchase real estate, loan money, purchase tax liens and deeds, purchase notes and even foreign currency with your IRA? If you didn’t know you really need to be at this meeting.

Do you think you make too much money to start up a self directed IRA? Did you know there are special rules for 2010 only that allow you to do some things you wouldn’t be able to do in other years? If you didn’t then you really need to be at this meeting.

The meeting is at the American Legion Hall on Metairie Rd at 6:15, don’t miss it.

Finding and a’ Funding – That’s where we R @!

Heather — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 04:29:03 +0000

We are just finding our way around. We have been looking at several properties in the past two weeks but without luck. Most seem too much work for our first project. The excitment is mounting at every potential project. Several of us are on the Finding Team and doing a great job. Just haven’t found “The ONE” yet. I am sure it is right around the corner.

As for the Funding Team, we are getting our ducks in a row right now. Look for us at the NOREIA meetings, visit our facebook page, you will be impressed by our credentials.

Til next post – Happy Investing (hopefully with us!)

Wow! If you missed Andy Heller’s Saturday Seminar at the Colonial Country Club this weekend you really missed out. Andy really put out some good information, the seminar was well attended and well received. Good job Andy.

This month, in July we have Equity Trust Company coming to the meeting. They will talk about self directed IRAs and how you can use them to invest in real estate. Not only can you invest in real estate but you can loan money, purchase notes, purchase tax liens and deeds; all sorts of things. So come prepared, if you don’t know about this little “secret” you are missing out on a great source of funding for your deals as well as a great tax deferred or even tax free wealth building tool.

More to come. Until then go make an offer.

Mark Your Calendars For June 26th

Al — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 06:22:00 +0000

For those of you who missed the meeting tonight….well…you’d better register for the Saturday seminar on June 26th.

The meeting kicked off with a slightly longer than normal networking session. We wanted to get Andy on early, and we wanted to give everyone a chance to do business, so we extended the early networking session and got right to the program.

I’m happy to say that Andy kept the crowd engaged with timely and useful knowledge. The Saturday seminar on June 26th is just about sold out. We only have a couple of seats and books left. Remember, if you pre-register for Andy Heller’s event at the Colonial Country Club in Harahan you get a full day seminar, lunch, and a copy of Andy’s newest book, “Buy Even Lower”. The books are going fast as the Saturday event fills up, register now on-line by going to the Calendar page on the web site and click on the Saturday, June 26th event. You will be able to register there. If you have any problems with the web site or any questions please feel free to call, at reasonable hours of course, Al at 504-319-6541.

Never stop learning.

Regular Meeting Just Two Days Away!

Don’t miss our monthly meeting this Thursday. Andy Heller will be with us to discuss his system of buying and selling REO properties. And don’t miss out on Andy’s Saturday seminar on June 26th. He’ll be here for a full day. Register early and receive a free copy of Andy’s new book, Buy Even Lower. That’s a full day seminar, a free book and lunch. Not a bad deal. Go to the calendar page and click on the seminar link to register.

Also, coming in July we have Equity Trust with us to talk about self directed IRA investing. Not only will you want to be around for that one but you will want to bring your friends, even your non-investor friends. You never know, they may like what they hear and become your next source of cash?

We are on our way!

Our first project is in the works. We have decided on a name for our LLC – Ladies on the MOVE! There are 13 active LLC members, and we are ready to get movin’! Meetings concerning how to find our project and how to fund the project are underway! We are looking for a 3/2 single home that will sell in the $150 – $160′s. A home with cosmetic repairs, nothing too serious. For our first project, we didn’t want to get too deep in rehab. Neighborhood is still up in the air, but aggressively looking at the Westbank. We haven’t set a hard-core deadline to get the project complete, and we all have various ideas of how long this will actually take, but general consensus is 6 to 7 months. Our clock is tickin’ - we know we can get it done!

Look for one of us at the next general NOREIA meeting, we would love to talk to you about our project and progress!

Any interested ladies out there, it may be too late to join in this LLC, but you are more than welcome to observe our progress, join our group and come to the meetings. Who knows you may want to join us the next time!

Til’ next update – Happy Investing

Andy Heller Coming In June

Al — Fri, 28 May 2010 18:32:06 +0000

Don’t forget, Andy Heller of Regular Riches will be here in June. Andy will be our guest speaker at the regular meeting on June 17th. Then, Andy will be back in town on June 26th for a special Saturday seminar. At the Saturday Seminar you will learn how to “Buy Low, Rent Smart and Sell High”. This is a quote from Andy:

“Regular Riches is about maximizing your real estate investing profits while you minimize your investment, time, energy, and headaches. In doing so, you should be positioned to have enough money and time to live a full and wonderful life with your family and friends.”

I don’t know about you but that sounds good to me.

Come see Andy at our meeting June 17th and learn his “Buy Low, Rent Smart, Sell High” strategy. Also, sign up now for Andy’s Saturday seminar and receive a copy of Andy’s new book “Buy Even Lower”. We have a limited number of free copies so sign up early. If you sign up early you also get a special early-bird price for the Saturday Seminar. Just check the calendar section and click the Saturday meeting link to sign up.

Until then, go out and make an offer.

First Post–Ladies Project Blog

Al — Fri, 28 May 2010 17:30:14 +0000

The ladies group is getting organized and will soon begin a rehab project.

This blog will follow their progress as they form their group, find/fund/fix their house and then sell for a profit. Stay tuned for updates.

Did You Know?

Al — Thu, 06 May 2010 20:16:36 +0000

Did you know we have a new Ladies Only Investing group starting up? That’s right, their first meeting is tonight, May 6th. They have some great ideas to get the group started and I’m sure once they all get together they’ll have a ton of fun. The initial plan is to purchase a house, renovate it and sell it, of course for a profit. I can’t wait to see their progress. Maybe we can even get their project manager to blog about their project.

Did you know that our May meeting is going to be all locals talking about deals they are doing right now today? These are not the same “experts” that you see up there all of the time. These are some of the members you see seated in the meetings each month right next to you. They aren’t doing anything different than anyone else except that they are taking action. Come hear their stories and ask questions of real folks doing deals in New Orleans today.

Did you know that June is going to be a special month? Not only is it the birthday month of a certain NOREIA board member (me) but Andy Heller will be here for TWO special events. First, Andy will be our guest speaker at our June 17th meeting. Then Andy will be back on Saturday June 26th for a special Saturday Seminar at Colonial Country Club. Andy is famous for making lots of money with bank owned properties. You won’t want to miss him.

Did you know we have a member forum? Just click on the Forums tab on the NOREIA home page and you can log in, ask a question, post a reply to a question and generally be in touch with other members.

That’s about enough for now. I’ll post something after I find out how the ladies group meeting goes tonight. I have a source inside the meeting as I won’t be there. I have a feeling they are going hit a home run with this one.

Go Make An Offer!
