SPECIAL NOTICE
As of January 19th, a decision was made to change our meeting location. We are now meeting at the Ramada Tropics Resort & Conference Center, 5000 Merle Hay Rd, in Des Moines.
Based on conversations with Investors and REIA leaders from all over the country, and your Two Rivers REIA advisory board, we are taking our group to the "next level". Beginning with our January 27th meeting, and each successive meeting through Convention and the meeting after, we're turing up the burner! We will gain the "big MO!" as we head into what could be a real life changing event, for dozens, even hundreds, of RE Investors all over Central Iowa.
Note: A meeting fee of $10 is now being charged -- used to pay for food, beverages, and/or room rental. You do not have to eat, but then you should consider this charge simply a "meeting fee". Guests will pay $20, unless they bring a referral card which becomes a coupon good for 50% off - i.e. $10. Members who bring guests will be able to get their guest in for $10, or their meal will be free, whichever works for the member. (Investors are great negotiators - work something out!) We want to build our active membership to 100 in just two short months, and our Association needs your help to achieve this goal!
In the old days, the Association would could cover the cost of eight pizzas out of meeting dues. That has gotten tougher as attendance has increased. And as we put 50, 70, or 100 people in a room, it will take a lot more space, more food, and more planning from volunteers to run the meeting smoothly and efficiently. So, it's time to step up to the next level.
Eat for $10 and hear from some really great RE speakers. As we ramp up to the Convention, we're making some changes -- for the better!

HOT DIGGITY DOG! NEWS
FHA relaxes anti-flipping rule, to spur sales of foreclosed properties. Here is a link to the PDF file, announcing the temporary suspension of the 90-seasoning rule, effective February 1, 2010. This is an executive order which is pro-rehabber, coming directly from a new hud.gov administration, effective for one-year period. This ruling will help banks liquidate inventory, and help homeowners and investors alike -- right now! This is good news, as we head into the traditionally stronger spring market. With the $8,000 first-time home-buyers tax credit, and the current home-owners $6,500 still being available, rehabbers will want to take note!

MARKET UPDATE: SPRING 2010
Lots going on. Constantly changing market, interest rates, lending requirements - not a good time to miss meetings. If you don't pick up one idea worth five times what you paid for admission, you're either "The Donald", and already know everything, or you're just not listening fast enough!
Check out the schedule -- today! We've got some great meetings ahead, yet they won't be nearly as good - if you are not there!
