<p><strong></strong><strong>IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A GOOD TITLE COMPANY ON YOUR TEAM YOU ARE IN A WORLD OF HURT&#8230;<br />
</strong>Just like everything else in Real Estate the world of title insurance companies has changed as well. It used to be that after you negotiated a deal to purchase real estate it was a simple task to turn over a deal to the title company and rest assured that the deal will get closed easily. Those days are gone. Title insurance companies are dropping like flies and you need to have a high quality trust worthy title insurance company to work out for your deal and make sure that the deal gets closed. There are fewer and better in the entire city then Jim Sanderson of City title. When you&#8217;re dealing with Jim you&#8217;re dealing with the owner and you will get top notch service. But, It gets better. Jim is going to educate you as to what you need to know about title insurance in the new real estate world. Just like any other business title insurers are trying to transfer more of their risk to you and less to themselves. In addition to that you enter into the world of HUD repos, foreclosures, and strange deals that are popping up everywhere you need to understand what kind of risk you are really taking when you purchase some of these properties.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong></strong><a href="https://paycash.infusionsoft.com/app/form/51012-reia-main-meeting" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2940" title="register now click here" src="http://www.columbusreia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/register-now-click-here.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="143" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>UNDERSTANDING HOW TITLE INSURANCE WORKS IS CRITICAL TO YOUR SUCCESS&#8230;.</strong> Another part of the world of Real Estate Investors involves knowing when to run and knowing when to move forward. One of the first things that we always recommend any investor do is to get some sort of information in advance about whether a deal is worth pursuing i.e&#8230;&#8230; is the title clear?&#8230;&#8230; and is the person were dealing with have the authority to make a deal?  You need to have somebody on your team who is willing to work with you to ensure that you can reach your goal. You will have a unique opportunity at this meeting to meet an owner of a title insurance company who is been around &#8220;forever&#8221; and is an investor friendly title company. Most title companies have very little interest in dealing with investors but not Jim he embraces them. Were very fortunate to have him available for this meeting. So come join us for an important meeting about the insider secrets and problems that you might not even know about regarding title insurance in your real estate transactions.</p>

<p>Columbus Real Estate Investors Association Main Meeting, THURSDAY 4/12/12, starting at 5:30 PM at Gordy&#8217;s in Westerville:<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>NOTE: WE WILL HAVE FREE FOOD FROM 5.30 TO 6PM! COME EARLY!</strong></span></p>
<p><strong></strong><strong>IF YOU KNOW HOW TO CASH OUT OF PROPERTY YOU CAN MAKE $10,000 PER DEAL ALL DAY LONG<br />
</strong>Let&#8217;s face it, if you want to make money in real estate you need to learn how to cash out properties. It&#8217;s a simple as that. The vast majority of people do not have cash in the bank to buy a house and are not gonna walk up to you with money falling out of their pockets.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>EVERYTHING IN LENDING HAS CHANGED&#8230;</strong>.<br />
However, if you understand how the lending process works and what the rules are you can certainly send somebody to a lender and have them cash you out. That&#8217;s the good news. The bad news is everything has changed. The government in their typical after-the-fact knee-jerk reaction fashion has changed all the rules as to what can be done regarding home loans. Do you know the rules? If somebody told you that they would give you $10,000 to learn the rules would you be interested? I&#8217;ll bet you would. And people all day every day are making that much and more on houses that they have picked up fixed and resold because they now know the new rules of the game.<a href="https://paycash.infusionsoft.com/app/form/41212-main-meeting-registration"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2940" title="register now click here" src="http://www.columbusreia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/register-now-click-here.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="143" /></a></p>
<p><strong>YOU MAKE MORE MONEY WHEN THERE&#8217;S LESS COMPETITION&#8230;.</strong> And right now there&#8217;s less competition. Oddly enough while all the lemmings were running across the ledge together in screaming as they fell into the ocean some of us were going the other direction. Right now there are the least amount of investors out there as we have ever seen. There are unbelievable deals to be had by people who can put the pieces together. Can you? Yes you can! All day&#8230; every day&#8230;. but only if you learn and &#8230;.TRY!  Find a good property at a discount fix it and resell it still works, always has worked, and always will work. Doesn&#8217;t matter what happens people will buy a house that is priced right in a good neighborhood. That will never change. Never&#8230;.ever.</p>
<p><strong>JOEL IS GOING TO SHOW US THE NEW RULES OF THE ROAD&#8230;</strong> Fortunately for us I have arranged for one of the premier local lenders, Joel Ghitman of Wells Fargo lending to share with us what is happening in the world of lending and how we can use the programs out there to our advantage. Additionally Joel sees hundreds of deals and he will be able to point out to us what the most typical pitfalls people are falling into as they are out in the real world closing deals, what works and what doesn&#8217;t work.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS MEETING&#8230;</strong> Getting a lender to loan a buyer money is how you get paid.. So unless you don&#8217;t like getting paid make sure to check out our next meeting.

Being a good landlord requires experience, so come benefit from a room full of experienced investors/landlords. Bring your questions or topics and we&#8217;ll work through them together.</p>
<p>This is one of the most popular meetings of the month and you don&#8217;t want a message where insider landlords get together and share resources that they are using in the landlording business. The topics range from:</p>
<ul>
<li>Contractors, the good the bad and the ugly!
<ul>
<li>how to protect yourself when using contractors, what everybody is doing to find contractors, sometimes they will even share good contractors!</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Suppliers
<ul>
<li>who is getting good deals,  how to save mone, what materials to use and not to use in your units, how to get discounts at places around town</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Tricks of the trade
<ul>
<li>Little known ways to make your property&#8217;s tenet proof, what to do with your flooring in your units, what kind of paint to use that will last the longest, what to do when city code calls, what&#8217;s going on with permits these days</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Eviction court
<ul>
<li>what magistrates are good and which ones are bad, what to do if your tenant shows up with a lawyer, how to avoid eviction court altogether and when!</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>THE SKY IS THE LIMIT SO BRING YOUR OWN QUESTIONS!</li>
</ul>

<p>THIS MONTH: It&#8217;s no secret the best deals on real estate are almost always the properties that need the most work. Why is that? Because nobody likes to do large rehabs. They are a pain in the rear and and require lots of effort and knowledge. But I&#8217;m here to tell you that once you figure out how it&#8217;s done they can run seamlessly and smooth.</p>
<p>Once you get your formula together on how to do it it&#8217;s like a cookie-cutter that you can reproduce over and over again. So come join us as Columbus REIA Executive Director Steve Zehala gives you the details on how he runs his rehab projects and how you can use the same procedures and techniques to quickly and painlessly get huge discounts on properties that need work, and get them fixed up in excellent condition.<a href="http://www.columbusreia.com/?attachment_id=2865"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2865 alignright" title="planning" src="http://www.columbusreia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/planning-220x300.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="300" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li>Topics will include:</li>
<li>How to get the best deals on pricing</li>
<li>How to make sure your contractor knows what he&#8217;s doing</li>
<li>What is the best schedule to work from?</li>
<li>What is the best software to use to manage a construction project?</li>
<li>What are the best things to make sure you do to the rehab to maximize income?</li>
</ul>
<p>That and much much more come join us for a fun night of fellowship, masterminding and the sharing of techniques that we use to make money in real estate.</p>

Screening people is a very important part of the process in its part science and part art. At this meeting we will be discussing the strategies that we use in our business to screen people including tenants, contractors, and other people. You need to plan ahead and you need to have a procedure! This meeting will be hosted by Columbus REIA Executive Director Steve Zehala.</p>
