Tonight's WINGS meeting has been cancelled in the interest of safety after yesterday's snow storm. We apologize for any inconvenience. 

Do you want to invest in real estate but you just don’t know how to get started?

Or have you already done some real estate deals and you want to move to the next level?

Are you looking to surround yourself with other investors who are learning how to become successful and build long term wealth without spending a fortune?

Then this class is for you; the beginner as well as the experienced investor, MAREIA member or future members are all welcome.

MAREIA (Mid-Atlantic Real Estate Investors Association) was established to assist anyone who wants to find out more about real estate investing. Being a MAREIA member gives you so many benefits that we can’t explain them all during our regular meetings.

Starting with a good foundation is imperative to building a strong business. In this FREE 2 ½ hour Real Estate Investor Orientation Class you will get some practical advice about the steps that you need to take in order to get off to a strong start as a real estate investor.

Even if you’re an experienced investor, it always helps to get a fresh perspective on the foundations of running a successful real estate business.

Alan Chantker, President and co-founder of MAREIA, will be your guide to all the money-saving products and services that you get when you join MAREIA. You will learn important tools that will get you started and keep you going as your real estate career takes off.

He will show you how to sign up and take advantage of the many money saving benefits like the Home Depot rebate and Pro program below. If you are already someone who shops at Home Depot we can help you save money as you shop.

Remember this is a FREE meeting which will show you how to get the full value of your MAREIA membership.

And if you’re not a member, you will see what you’re missing!

Everyone's heard about Apple's "Genius Bar" where you can get help with any of their products.

And now MAREIA has its own version which takes place on the 4th Monday of each month.

Investors of all types are welcome to stop in and ask for advice about any aspect of real estate investing.

For newbies, this is a great chance to get the answers to your questions from those who are earning a full-time living in real estate.

More experienced investors can network with others like themselves and help out the newcomers as well.

If you're a full-time investor and think that you don't want to share your knowledge with those starting out, you're missing a great opportunity. Any teacher will tell you that you don't really learn a subject until you have to explain it to someone else.

You can also bring your deals in for free analysis and get the benefit of the combined knowledge of many local investors. This can help you make the best deal possible or stop you from making a costly mistake.

How to Build a Wholesaling Business:

Do More Deals, More Easily

To truly get out of the “rat race”, you need a plan that goes beyond the basics of “find a deal, sell a deal” and allows you to expand and systematize your business so that you can work with more buyers and sellers, and delegate some of your work to others

In the morning workshop, you’ll discover:

• Why wholesalers who systematize make 10 times the money of those who don’t

• Why working with more kinds of sellers makes you more money, and how to wholesale properties from banks and other sellers who want to make your contract“non-assignable”

• Which tasks you can probably delegate right now, cheaply, to virtual assistants

• How to create a plan to grow from no deals or a few deals to a deal every week within 12-24 months

How to Find Great Deals in a Seller’s Market

The days of “too many deals, not enough buyers” are over for the moment, which means that whether you’re a wholesaler, a retailer, or looking for some good income properties, you’d better understand how to find off-market deals.

Join us in the afternoon, and find out:

• Exactly what makes marketing “work” and gets you the highest profit for the lowest outlay of money

• How to develop strong marketing messages that make sellers want to call you (when you see how Vena creates her mes- sages, you’ll understand why yours aren’t working as well as they should)

• Why a lot of what you “know” about marketing in the real estate business is wrong

• How to get 5-10% response rates for your letters, postcards, and other direct mail

ALL this money-making info, just $49 per member (Future members: $69 each)

Vena's workshops sell out wherever they are held. This one will be no exception. Reserve you spot TODAY!

Everyone knows that wholesaling is the quickest and easiest way to put cash in your pocket in the real estate business.
The problem is, most people don’t actually understand how to do wholesale deals in today’s seller’s market.

Vena Jones-Cox does, because she wholesales a property about every 9 days, and she’s been doing it for nearly 2 decades in hot markets and cold.

Join us for MAREIA's January General Meeting where Vena will share her wholesaling strategies that will make you $5,000-$10,000 per deal with no cash or credit.

Attend, and you’ll find out:

- How wholesaling works today—it’s a very different business than it was even 2 years ago—and what you need to do to get started right now

- Which properties in which areas make for the most profitable, easiest-to-sell wholesale deals, and which you should avoid because they’re huge time-wasters

- How to make the right offer—the one that will make you $7,000, $10,000, or more in cash in just a few days—every time

- How to put a property “under contract” in a no-risk way that allows you to get out if you can’t sell the deal, literally without using any of your own money

- How to get your cash up front, before the closing, and never have to buy a wholesale deal before you sell it!

- Answers to your questions and much more!

Vena is famous for her no-B.S. teaching and her ability to simplify tough concepts so that even a brand-new investor can easily grasp them. Whether you’re a brand-new wholesaler or an experienced entrepreneur struggling to make more and better deals, you’ll learn something that will add to your bottom line. So bring a notepad, bring a friend, and get to this meeting—it will change your financial life forever! Register Now!

Vena Jones-Cox has been a full-time real estate investor since 1989. She’s wholesaled over 600 properties, and has written the definitive homestudy program on how to flip properties quickly and easily. She’s the past president of the National Real Estate Investors Association and has appeared in Money Magazine, Reader’s Digest, Smart Money, and a host of other national publications.
