| All Two Rivers REIA updates occur at our new website -- www.IaREIA.com. While still under construction, it's much more accurate than what you'll find here. This site will remain up and functional until the transition is complete. Two Rivers REIA Mission is to provide: 1) Education -- on most every area of residential RE investing 2) Networking -- share and learn from like-minded peers. 3) Coaching -- We help our members, particularly newer investors, understand the risks first, as we provide guidance to help ensure each project is profitable, second! Many of our members are happy to provide helpful tips at no cost, which is only part of the power of networking! Every month we strive to have informative, educational meetings which offer great opportunities to network with like-minded peers. Annually, we hold at least one Conference, which has become our primary means to attract nationally recognized speakers to share their investing strategies with Two Rivers REIA members. (Save the cost of Airfare and often logdging, and buy a great program instead -- one that will help you kickstart your business!) If you have any question at all about the power or relevance of our meetings to help your further your RE estate investing success, please visit our testimonials page (coming soon!). |

MARKET & MEETINGS UPDATE: Spring 2012. Constantly changing BUYERS market but with excellent interest rates; lender requirements are off the chart difficult, and ... we need to find new ways to fund deals, attract buyers, do lease/options, rehab for profits, etc. All the more reason to attend meetings! What if you could meet with dozens of investors in one room, and just one idea someone mentioned would either help you close a money maker, or prevent you from making a major mistake? This is why being a member of Two Rivers REIA can be so very helpful! The power of networking with other like-minded investors cannot be overstated. We've recently implemented a more disciplined meeting agenda, including our "deal-a- minute" time to share properties and opportunities! Check out the schedule -- today! We've got some great meetings ahead, yet what you have to say could be exactly what someone else in the group needs to hear. They won't hear it, unless you are there! |
