Wanted: Tampa Real Estate Investors

Posted on April 11, 2008

Our clients have requested one for a long time – a REAL, hardcore, fact-based-and-action-driven, real estate investor club.

All of us who are active investors understand the need for this type of institution. Most investor groups leave a lot to be desired. The instruction is weak, the “deals” are anything but, and there always seems to be a whole lot more talk than action.

A Whole New Type of Real Estate Club

Introducing something decidedly different - a whole new type of real estate club. Where real investors meet – not to just talk, but to learn and do. Introducing the Home Encounter Advanced Investor Academy of Tampa Bay.

The Advanced Investor Academy of Tampa Bay offers instruction in advanced real estate investment topics. Speakers are experienced, degreed and licenced real estate professionals; Attendees are active investors who are buying and selling real estate in today’s market using today’s strategies; and Coaches are full time investors – not “has-been’s”.

The opening session of the Advanced Investor Academy of Tampa Bay took place on April 7th at Home Encounter’s Ybor City offices. The topic was Making Money in Bank Owned Real Estate. May’s session is on Taxation, Insurance and Corporate Entities and will take place on the first Monday of the month at 6:30pm.

Real Estate Investors Wanted

This is an “open call,” of sorts, to anyone who meets the following criteria: Active Real Estate Investors; Future Investors who want to learn more about the business of real estate investing before they get involved; People who are ready to invest, but are seeking a structured coaching/collaborative environment in which to invest.

If you fall into one of these categories, then please RSVP then join us at our next Class: May 5th at 6:30pm. We look forward to seeing you there!
