Taking your real estate investing to the next level ^TM

Happy Saturday! 

As those of you who were registered know, the May 8th class The Basics was delayed until June 5th. Registrations largely came in too late to accommodate, especially in view of hotel staff shortages. Moving forward we will publish meetings and classes earlier and make the associated registration deadlines earlier, at least until hotels have more staff to draw from. Just another bump in the current (NOT new!) norm but we are undaunted as I hope (make that assume) you are!

As a reminder and for those of you new to REIA Updates we are meeting in larger meeting spaces for less people due to social distancing and occupancy requirements. Registration is required for all REIA events on the REIA website using the links provided below. To ensure seating, and in view of the earlier deadlines mentioned above, early registration is strongly recommended along with timely prepayment of event fees for all REIA events!

Be sure to read to end of this newsletter for future events and to meet the latest REIA Business Member!

Read on!

Many REIA Events are open exclusively to REIA Members, or open initially to Members-only, many others are open to both Members and Non-Members, all with registration required at www.REIAwa.com.  Please visit the calendar page/s linked below for registration and prepayment information. All meetings are in strict compliance with, or exceed, governmental COVID requirements. Both masks and strict social distancing are required, the latter of which limits seating. Early registrations are very strongly recommended!

All levels of experience are welcome at REIA Events! 

Thursday, May 20th
Everett REIA Chapter Meeting - Seller Financing 
  At Best Western Cascadia Inn
  See Calendar page for Registration Deadlines

Fellow REIA Member George Pressley of Green Path Real Estate and Integrity First Mutual Mortgage joins us to provide education on Seller Financing. Every investor should know about this powerful technique. Seller financing can be applicable to both residential and commercial properties, be it "buy and hold", flips, land development or wholesale transactions.

REIA Class - The Puget Sound Real Estate Market 
  At Bellevue Residence Inn by Marriott
  See Calendar page for Registration Deadlines

We've all had a *memorable* year (or so), to say the least! Housing has been, and will be, substantially affected. Many investors have very successfully adapted to changes while many of you need more information.

Buyers, sellers and tenants all want something different than they may have in times past. The key to thriving - not just surviving - during and beyond this phase is knowledge. Knowledge of where we've been, where we are and where we are going. That knowledge can do more to change your financial life than anything we've encountered thus far!

Todd serves, as he has throughout his career, as the Pacific Northwest’s voice and forecaster for the real estate industry. Read more and register now!

This is a rare opportunity to learn from Todd Britsch in a small environment with limited time restraints.
We'll learn even more; additional speakers are being added to this class day!

Saturday, June 5th
REIA Class - The Basics 
  At Bellevue Residence Inn by Marriott
  See Calendar page for Registration Deadlines

Planning to flip, wholesale or hold? Accurate valuation, including rehab estimates with solid numbers behind it, and well negotiated contracts with buyers, sellers and contractors are key. Utilizing branding effectively can get sellers to come to you and can save time and money and enable you to grow your business and income in the process!

The Wait is Nearly Over!

We are cooking up an incredible series of meetings, classes and webinars on REHABBING! The Estimating Rehabs portion of the equation is included in The Basics on June 5th, though it isn't always as 'basic' as you might think or hope. We'll keep going from there over several meetings and classes!

Webinars

Webinars will remain part of the mix for the foreseeable future. They can appear to be sort of hit and miss but it seems that everyone providing content is inundated with calls in their businesses!

We are not anticipating charging for any of the webinars offered through REIA, in large part because we want to be sure you have adequate information and education available without breaking the bank!

Welcome to all of the newest REIA Members!

Included is the return of a REIA favorite! They do everything from hoarder cleanups, mold and water damage, sewage cleanup, crawl space and attic work, estate cleanups and animal and pet damage to methamphetamine testing, remediation, crime scene cleanup and full remodels!
