“The Disappearing Water Rights of the Antelope Valley”

Mark your calendar, and plan on being at the meeting to find
our tons of information about water rights in the AV, and
how they effect us as investors, residents and homeowners of
Lancaster, Palmdale and surrounding areas.

Frank has been involved with water in the AV for many years,
and what he as to share with us will surprise you, since
most of this information isn’t know by the general public,
even though it will effect each and every resident of the
A.V.

Bring some note paper and a pen. You’ll want to take notes
at this meeting.

We meet on the third Tuesday of every month from 6:00 – 8:00
p.m. The next meeting is on May 21, 2013. We meet at:

Rancho Village – Activities Room
39630 Fairway Drive
Palmdale, CA 93551
- 2 blocks east of the 14 Freeway at the corner of
Rancho Vista Boulevard (aka Avenue P)

“Finding Real Estate Deals -
In Today’s Market, In theA.V.”.

The presentation will be put on by our very own Rene Caro.

As a real estate investor, your success or failure are
largely a result of how well you can find properties that
you can turn into a profit. Whether you are looking to buy-and-flip
for quick profit, wholesale for quicker profit, or
buy-and-hold for monthly cashflow and future appreciation,
you’ve got to have a flow of properties to work with.

The challenge in today’s market is the lack of inventory.
We all know there are few properties on the MLS, and those that
become available are attacked by everybody looking for a
property, be it other investors, real estate agents looking
for properties for their buyers, or our buddies “Bob and
Suzie Homemaker” who just want a place to live and raise
their family. There’s a lot of competition for the few
properties that appear on the MLS today.

This presentation will focus on alternative ways to find
deals for your pipeline.

Invite a friend, mark your calendar, and plan on being there
for this informative presentation.

To be a real estate investor, you’ve got to create a flow of
deals coming your way – even in today’s market.

We meet on the third Tuesday of every month from 6:00 – 8:00
p.m. The next meeting is on April 16th, 2013. We meet at:

Rancho Village – Activities Room
39630 Fairway Drive
Palmdale, CA 93551
- 2 blocks east of the 14 Freeway at the corner of

Ralph Demaio of Consumers Title Company.

If your first reaction was “Oh a title company? Well I don’t
need that right now.” You should make it a point to make it
to this meeting, and learn what you don’t know about:

Why a Title Company Must be Part of Your R.E. Investing Team

Maybe the first member of your investing team! We all know
that we can’t do real estate investing all by ourselves. It
is important to have a team of key players to make
transactions profitable, and possible in the first place.
Yes, it’s a team sport, and the players you select to be on
your team will have a direct impact on the degree of success
you achieve.

Ralph Demaio has been in the title business for decades. His
company Consumers Title Company are a service oriented title
company that provides the kind of service we investors need
on our team. You will learn some great tricks that will save
you money and perhaps more importantly Ralph will share with
us how his company can help you find properties to buy. With
some of the tools Ralph will provide you can find deals that
aren’t on the MLS. Deals that you alone know about, because
you created them.

Last minute addition! Our speaker, Ralph Demaio just told me
that he talked his plant manager, Patrick Meza, into coming
along and helping with the presenattin to the group! Come
and find out just how an excellent title company can help
you make more profit on your real estate deals!

Mark your calendar. Start the year off demanding of yourself
a commitment to setting and achieving your goals in real
estate investing in 2013.

NEW START AND END TIMES. The meetings now begin at 6:00 and
end at 8:00 p.m. sharp. This means you will be home earlier.

New times, same meeting place, which is:

Rancho Village – Independent Retirement Living
39630 Fairway Drive

Rancho Vista Boulevard (aka Avenue P)

The new topic for the January 8th REINLAC Meeting is

“Roundtable of Seasoned Investors“

This meeting will be roundtable style where there is no
speaker at the front of the room. Instead, a group of
seasoned investors will be seated amongst the rest of us.
Anybody who wishes to ask a question of any of the Seasoned
Investors can do so.

This format should make for an invigorating evening of real
estate discussion. If you have questions about investing in
today’s market, here in the AV, this meeting is for you! You
may not have questions, but you should still come because
you will learn from those professionals who are doing it in
today’s market, here in the Antelope Valley and beyond.

Come with questions, or just come to learn.

A Question For You – Have you pinpointed what is keeping you
from achieving your real estate investing goals? Maybe you
could ask the Seasoned Investors questions that would
help you resolve that for yourself. Sometimes an obstacle
that seems large will resolve easily by someone who has
overcome that issue in the past.

Just think what achieving your real estate investing goals
could do for your future. How would achieving those goals
change your life for the better? How would it improve your
family’s life?

See you tomorrow Tuesday January 8th at 6:00 p.m. sharp.
Remember the new, earlier start time, and end time – 8:00
p.m.

Bonus Presentation: Two members of REINLAC went to
see Bruce Norris speak in the LA area. Gilbert Riley, and
Nannette Barrie will give us a short presentation of Bruce’s
insightful talk. This alone is worth coming for.

Hope to see you there!

New times, same meeting place. See the About Us Page:

We’ve all heard “Its not now much money you make, its how
much you keep.” Big question is, how do you keep as much as
possible, and not end up in prison?

Laura has been our CPA for about 11 years, and has saved us
tons of money. We couldn’t recommend her more highly, since
we’ve never been to the slammer!

At the December 11th meeting, Laura will be covering basic
tax strategies for investors – a topic that all investors
should know. And, she will go into the New Tax Laws, the
Revised Tax Laws and The Cancelled Tax Laws – and how they
effect us now and in the future.

Since the November elections, Laura has been studying all
the tax codes that were voted into effect. (Thank your lucky
stars that she has done this, and is sharing it with us!
That isn’t exactly “light reading” for most of us.)

We’ll keep this announcement short and sweet. If you know
someone who is an investor, or will become an investor in
the future, invite them to come.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The folks at the Rancho Village Assisted
Living that allows us to use their “Activities Room” for our
meetings have asked us to vacate the room by 8:00 p.m.
rather than 9:00.

NEW MEETING TIMES! From now on, our meetings will start at
6:00 and end at 8:00 pm. Plan on being seated, with the
yummy cookies and tea or coffee, that we provide, by 6:00
pm.

See you there!

Don’t miss Dewey Failing share his experiences in doing 1031 Exchanges to save money on taxes, and increase his profits. All of us should ask ourselves “Is this a good candidate for a 1031 Exchange?” every time we sell an investment property.  Learn much more at the meeting on November 13th. See more about this in the post below.

At the December 11th meeting, you will have access to our CPA of about 9 years, Laura Bradford of Berkey, Cox, Evans and Bradford, A CPA Form.

Laura has agreed to come right after the elections are completed, and all the new and old tax laws will be either newly passed, defeated, kept in place as an existing law, cancelled as a law, or amended in some way. Laura is among the top CPAs for investors in the Southern California area, and she will brief us on how all this effects us and our investments.

Dealing with taxes properly can have such a huge impact on the profit in a real estate transaction that you really should make it a point to attend this meeting.

See you there!

Normally, when you sell real estate, your Uncle Sam is right
there to collect his share of your profits. Depending on
your tax bracket, it could be as much as 50%! (What?? Yes,
you might have to pay Uncle Sam up to half of your profits!)

Well, there is a federal law in the tax code called 1031
that you can use so you can pay zero in taxes when you sell
an investment property at a profit.

Dewey has sold real properties and used 1031s. He will be
sharing his experiences with us. He’s not part of any
organization, so he will not pitch us to buy anything. He is
kind enough to share his experiences with us, so that we are
made aware of this federal tax law, how to use it, and where
to get started.

If you plan on ever selling an investment property, whether
as a flipper, or after having held it for appreciation, you
should know about 1031s as they can save you a bunch of cash
in taxes.

Plan on attending this informative presentation.

And, make plans to attend the December 11th meeting, which
will be on “The New Tax Laws and How They Effect You as an
Investor!” By CPA Laura Bradford of Barky Cox Evans and
Bradford, an accountancy firm.

As usual, we will meet on the 2nd Tuesday of November – the
13th at 6:30 p.m. at:

Rancho Village – Activities Room
39630 Fairway Drive
Palmdale, CA 93551
- 2 blocks east of the 14 Freeway at the corner of Rancho
Vista Boulevard (aka Avenue P)

Hope to see you there!
