Rental properties have all the charm in investing because of the monthly rental check, growing equity and the ability to add another asset to your portfolio. Well except when the tenants don't pay their rent, they tear up the house and they call you at all hours of the day complaining that the house needs repairs. Anyone else experience this? Yuck!

How do you avoid these headaches so that you can still enjoy the benefits of rentals? Top notch property management is key! Everything from screening tenants properly, knowing your local regulations and laws when it comes to tenants, having a team of subcontractors who will handle your repairs professionally, and many other facets are all part of property management.

For February's main investor meet up, Wayne Songy Sr of Wayne Songy & Associates will be sharing from his vast experience as an investor and long time professional property manager on how to use property management to your advantage! Whether you are self managing your properties, paying for property management or considering hiring one, you will be able to walk away with valuable insight from this meeting. Wayne will be pulling back the curtains to explain the basics of the industry and helping us understand the do's and don't's. He will graciously be sharing a packet of useful forms such as an application, lease agreement, tenant screening tips, move-in walkthrus, etc. Whether you own rentals or are actively looking to buy some, this is a crucial meeting that you don't want to miss!

Doors open at 6:00PM and the meeting will start at 6:30PM. If you have business cards, bring them! There will be plenty of opportunities to learn, network and share local deals.

Our goal is to provide education that is coupled with actionable steps and networking opportunities at our meet ups without any pressure of a sales pitch. We welcome new and experienced investors as well as those who provide services to the industry to join us! Can't make this meeting? No worries!
