I am sorry, but due to the location no longer allowing meetings of any size, we are forced to cancel this meeting.  Sorry for the late notice, but we heard of this today (Friday, Mar 20).  I don't see how to actually cancel the meeting through the BP interface or I would!

We will be back doing weekly meetings at our earliest opportunity.  
Stay strong everyone!  Be Safe, Stay Healthy!

Breakfast Included!

You’ve probably heard of a science fiction story with an Invisible Man character. It’s an entertaining idea, but it’s not real. Depending on what you know or don’t know, great Real Estate deals can be invisible too. You could be staring right at a very profitable deal and not know it. How can that be?! If you'd like to increase your ability to recognize multiple types of great deals that may not be so obvious at first glance, join us this Saturday. We'll show you how to look beyond the surface in various scenarios, so you can accelerate your success as a Real Estate Investor. Don't miss this one!

Sure, finding more deals is important, but that’s not the only constraint to growth in the business of Real Estate Investing. Scheduling, budgeting, system & process development, hiring, funding, property management, asset protection, portfolio management, insurance, capitalization, tax planning, bookkeeping, etc. can all become more complex & challenging as you acquire more properties and close more transactions. Join us at this Saturday’s meeting to learn how to master your business instead of letting it master you and stunting your growth.

Hey @AndrewPostell -
I want to thank you for giving the DFW REI CLUB such an informational presentation!  You never disappoint!  Your willingness to share such great investing strategies revolving around little known funding opportunities shows not only how knowledgeable you are, but what an open book you are by sharing them.  Yes, you receive when you give like we all do - but, you hold nothing back if you think it could help others.  

Very honored to be in your company!  

Cindy

I don't have any Section 8 at this time.  1 year ago we purchased a building with a section 8 family.  They moved within 6 weeks after we purchased because we gave them notice they would have to start paying their own water bills - and we would be raising rent also.  They left voluntarily after a 30 day notice. 

My brief experience made me aware there are more than one administrator of housing assistance.  My first research as to what i needed to do if I wanted to continue getting the payments took me to the wrong administrators, so, lost some time trying to get started. 

The seller of the building was not interested in giving me any useful info unfortunately (I didn't really think I needed to ask, and he didn't offer).

So, if you do inherit any such tenants, be sure to get the info of who you need to deal with directly from the seller (or tenant, as they should have phone numbers to reach their offices) BEFORE you close. 

You also need to make sure to do your best to get your business approved to be able to receive the payments for their rent prior to closing, and/or make arrangements for the seller to turn the money they receive to you if they receive it for the month you are buying the building.  This was our first encounter with Section 8...so, we had to learn the hard way.

Personally, we do not prefer to deal with the Section 8 process - it is a bit annoying and cumbersome, and NOT a necessity as there are plenty of valid rental candidates in the market able to cover the rent themselves.

I know that is a small 'lesson learned'  but if you are totally new to it like we were, maybe it's worth the read!
