Hi there Reader,

Happy WINSday!! Hope you're having a fantastic week. As most of you know, I'm in the middle of a move, and it's kind of like running a marathon (I imagine). I'm on mile 15! Exhausted, more than half way there. I want to quit, but I'm gonna keep moving because I'm excited to get to the finish line.

In my running, I totally forgot to send out last week's recap, so this may become a bi-weekly recap. ;-) And that's OK! Sometimes we have to take a little step back to reset and then propel forward.

So, in case you missed it...

Another great Tuesday night Blessed & Bossin' zoom discussing important topics for landlords and investors. Here are some of the topics discussed over the last 2 meetings.

• Wholesaling and investment strategies - connect with local RE attorneys regarding contract templates; they may offer suggestions or even generic templates for you to use.
• Resale value - Is one bathroom a deal breaker?
• Interest Rates - the market takes a little time to 'catch up' before we see and feel rate drops.
• How does Cash-Out Refinancing work?
• BRRRR Strategy: Buy, Renovate, Rent, Refinance, Repeat
• There are still some deals out on the MLS (thanks, Linda). Be on the lookout and share with the group.
• Probate - why are so many home owners not preparing for the future? Protect your families! How do we navigate deals that have to go through probate?
• Tiny home community is coming to Augusta - let's find out some more details
• The good, the bad, and the UGLY of being a landlord - rental 'turn' costs, vacancy losses, and other challenges that come with owning rentals. Is the juice worth the squeeze of trying to recoup your losses?
• Real Estate licensing - What are the benefits of being an agent when investing? How to become an agent and resources to help you get there.
• 2 HOT Tips:
  • Don't get discouraged!! Deals fall through and you may end up in a better place to negotiate when they circle back!
  • Your NETWORK builds your NET Worth!
• Congratulations to all of our members and attendees. You're taking the steps and making the moves to build your dream life. Having that mentality already puts you ahead of the crowd!
