MAREI has been supporting Harvesters with events through out the years and about 2014 we held our very first AllStar Networking Event to benefit Harvesters. All proceeds from our sponsorship fees to our attendees donations t the doors go directly to Harvesters. Through their corporate buying power, Harvesters, the Community Food Network can turn every $1 donated in to 3 meals provided. And with the generosity of corporate sponsors, like the Cable Dahmer Automotive Group who are matching donated funds this summer, we can double that 3 meals into 6. Our suggested at the door donation is $20, but what ever you can spare, more or less will be greatly appreciated.

new lineup Since the decision to postpone our private money real estate investor workshop in March 2020, MAREI has been serving our members in a virtual world. As the we start to open back up, MAREI is coming back as well with a new lineup to serve our members going forward. Main Monthly Meeting: As we have been since January 2004, MAREI will continue meeting on the 2nd Tuesday of the month from 6pm to 9pm. This meeting will be live, in person, and at the Holiday Inn at 8787 Reeder Road. Virtual Monthly Meeting: Because we still have members who are not quite ready to meet in person and because we have added so many new virtual only members, we will continue with a virtual meeting on the 4th Thursday of the month through the end of the year & then evaluate. On Zoom. Round Table: Starting during the pandemic, our Member's Round Table on Friday mornings give our members a place to share, discuss ideas and ask questions.
EXTRA MILE With all the competition in the real estate market, homeowners and sellers are getting bombarded with people that want to buy their homes. People that are in foreclosure because they are behind on their payments receive approximately 50 to 80 letters from investors asking if they would like to sell. If a homeowner passes away, once the probate process begins it is printed in the legal notices and then the surviving family members get blasted with letters and post cards. Investors can get pretty creative. Recently, I was talking with the daughter of a deceased man and she said she gets advertisements that look like condolence cards and when she opens one, it turns out that it is just an investor asking if she wants to sell the house. She told me that it makes her upset because she thought they were sympathy cards. Then we have bandit signs, billboards, television, and radio commercials with investors wanting to buy houses. How can we compete with all of this? Even if you have millions of dollars, that does not necessarily mean that you are going to get the deal. A seller has many people that are willing to buy their home, so they are going to choose someone. The real question is, how do we get them to choose you over someone else.
be sitting at the kitchen table talking to them face to face and looking at a stack of unopened mail on the table. I always had a helpful attitude and would let them do the talking and I would listen. If you listen, they will tell you their problems, I would simply make an offer that solved their problems and relieved the stress of the situation. I would offer to help them find a new place to live, catch up on their utilities, and maybe even rent a U-Haul and hire folks to help them move. Those efforts went a long way to helping them feel comfortable working with me. You may ask, why would you do all that? The answer is simple. It is the sellers equity that is paying for it. I just design a plan with their equity that makes their life better. I recently found a very run-down house in a nice neighborhood without a for sale sign. A neighbor told me the man recently died and had no will or relatives. I did some research to look for any kind of blood relative. I found his mother’s sister two thousand miles away. She said she had not talked to him in 15 years. I asked her if she would be willing to apply to be the personal representative for his estate. She said she was 70 years old and did not want to deal with it because she did not want to fly down and go through his things and liquidate all his belongings. I told her I would do all those things for her. I even cut the grass each week to keep the code enforcement officials off her back. She was approved and I liquidated and donated all of the furniture and cleaned out the house. The neighbor and I helped sell his vehicles and I offered to buy the house and she accepted. I rehabbed the house from the ground up and
When I first got started in the real estate business I, like many others, focused on the foreclosure arena. It has and will always be very competitive. A person in foreclosure not only gets hundreds of letters from investors wanting to buy, but they get bombarded by attorneys telling them to file bankruptcy because it stops the foreclosure. Even though I was a newbie investor, I still got deals. They chose to sell to me. How did it happen? First of all, while everyone else was sending letters, I was knocking on doors. I would

made it look beautiful. I was willing to do the work whether she accepted
the offer or not. She sent me a nice a letter thanking me for going the extra mile. In this crazy market today, with all the competition, sellers are still choosing to sell to me. I have many more things that I do for sellers that actually help them. The only difference is that I am not pursuing foreclosures, I am pursuing the “Hidden Market.” I still to this day, knock on doors, let the seller do the talking, acknowledge what they are telling me, and then I write up an offer that solves all of their problems. Remember, this is a people business. You reap what you sow, and if you sow good seed, you will reap a harvest. Article provided by Tony Youngs.

Now sometimes you want to get them to imagine all their problems have been solved. Asking them what they are going to do after, will get them to think about their reward. They now have the money to do what they want. They now no longer have to spend time dealing with the house. We have had sellers who have packed their clothes and moved in an RV at closing. We have had other sellers who bought a new house with the proceeds. Others split up inheritance from the proceeds. Getting them to think about the other side, often gives them more motivation.
