Weekly mastermind of local business owners and entrepreneurs for education and networking. This is a mastermind with business owners in many different fields from the technology fields to the health and wellness specialties. The basic format involves business owners presenting what they do then drawing upon the collective knowledge and experience of the other entrepreneurs in attendance to help advance their own businesses.
Periodically, successful entrepreneurs, who’s businesses exceed $1 million in total revenue, will present and tell us how they achieved their successes during a “Made It” session. One I remember was a co-founder of MapQuest who ended up selling MapQuest to AOL for $1.2 billion.
These weekly meetings include education sessions in which an experienced businessperson teaches attendees how to follow what they’re doing in their businesses for our own purposes. They educate us on their specific industries.
Coffee is provided in a casual environment. Be sure to bring plenty of business cards to pass out. You never know when and where your next big business deal will occur.

Midlands REIA Monthly Meeting

Real estate investors typically approach deals using either conventional financing methods or creative investing strategies. While both approaches can lead to profitable investments, they differ significantly in how deals are structured, financed, and acquired.
This meeting will focus on creative investing techniques that don’t require money or credit to purchase real estate. If you’re not interested in creative real estate methods and only want to learn how to invest conventionally, we suggest you just talk to a real estate agent who doesn’t like investors, which will probably be most of them.

Midlands REIA Monthly Meeting

Join us for an eye-opening evening seminar where you’ll discover one of the most powerful—and often overlooked—strategies in real estate investing: buying properties subject to the existing mortgage.
In a “subject to” transaction, you acquire ownership of a property while leaving the seller’s current loan in place. Instead of applying for new financing, you simply take over the existing payments—creating opportunities to buy homes with little to no money down and without relying on your credit.
