Our mission is to promote and support the success of our members, and maintain the high professional standards of our industry, through leadership, networking, information and education. Our membership includes both experienced and new investors, who invest in residential and commercial properties, as rehabbers, resellers, and landlords.

    Monthly General Meetings
are held on the third Thursday of each month (occasional exceptions), at 6:30 pm, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel (main ballroom), on LBJ Freeway (635) at the Coit Road exit, in Dallas. Non-memberts are always welcome to attend; no advance registration required.

    

    Independent investors and landlords serve a vital role in the community. They rejuvenate blighted neighborhoods, add to the tax base, and provide employment for a wide range of workers, contractors and suppliers. But most importantly, they provide the affordable housing which enables so many working Americans to live with dignity, comfort and security. So, for this important segment of our society, as well as others, they are the essential Housing Providers

Mark Fedderson became a full time real estate investor in 2001. He started by rehabbing the properties which he bought. He built up his own full time rehab crew. He always bought houses from private sellers - who called him. He didn't want to compete with the 100's of other investors who were working the deals on MLS. He has since wholesaled more than 100 homes, and has grown his opreation to become a Hard Money Lender. He has a passion to share what he has learned with others. He spent thousands of dollars on "guru" seminars himself, only to realize that much of what they taught him had 'lots holes in it' or just muddied up the waters. His mission now is to  present truly useful and valid information - the real picture and actual proven techniques.

The Wholesale market - Today, Tomorrow.
 
An update and conversation lead by
these
three active, experienced local wholesalers, who provide three
somewhat different perspectives.
 
Bring your note pad
and your questions.
Join the conversation.

Randy Smith 
Randy Smith started his real estate investing company, VRR Enterprises, llc, (aka EASYHOMEBUYERS) in 1998. His was a builder/developer in the Duncanville area in the 70's and 80's. He built houses with his father and brother for about 5 years, then got out of the business to pursue music.  He played professionally for about 15 years, and along the way, to supplement the band income, was in sales for many years. When he decided to give up music in 1998, at that time the real estate market was very strong. He decided to get back into the business, but didn't want to build like his father had done, because of the disaster we all went through back in the 80's. So he and his wife  decided to get into the flipping of existing houses. Neither of them knew anything about the business other than the fact that Randy had a very strong background in construction and building. They literally learned as they went, without any help or training from outside, and eventually found their way through. To date they have purchased more than 300 single family homes, have owner financed many of them, have a current inventory of 28 rentals. In October of 2007, they also purchased a commercial building (distressed, of course) near the new Dart rail station in Carrollton, where they currently office. Randy and his wife will celebrate their 19th anniversary on  Monday, July 12th.

Mark Fuller 
Mark Fuller has been an entrepreneur for 20 years and has extensive marketing experience. He started his real estate investment company, Intense Properties, in March of 2006, with the main goal of buying single family homes, fixing them up, and selling retail. Since then he has been involved in more than 100 transactions including both wholesaling and rehabbing. He continues to do both. He specializes in targeted marketing to buy his properties, and he is very experienced in negotiating contracts with sellers. He also deals in 'creative structuring' to buy his properties. He does not buy foreclosed properties or ones that are listed in the MLS, so he gets the best prices. Mark and his wife have been married for 11years and have 3 boys - 11, 6, and 3.
 
David Boles
David Boles, President of METROBUYSHOMES, llc, has been a creative innovator, motivator, teacher, and leader in the real estate buisness for more than 29 years. Since 1981, his company has bought and sold more than 3000 properties. Having handled that many transactions, they have had an extensive variety of experiences and learned a lot in the process! - What works and doesn't work, and why! - And still learning and growing with the North Texas market.

Wholesaling in 2010:
How to make cash money...now!

               Wholesaling is a quick way to
                   improve your cash flow.
 

Make no mistake, it still takes work. But even in this very challenging market, wholesaling is still alive and well.
 
 
Wholesaling (selling to other investors) can be the quickest way to boost your cash flow - with little or no investment - other than your time and skill. But you need to understand the process, and know what to do and how to do it. And you to be informed about how the wholesaling process has been effected by the market changes in this world of the  2010 economy.
 
Fedderson teaches3Here is your opportunity to learn from a local investor who has wholesaled more than 100 homes - none of which were ever listed on MLS. He will teach you tried and true methods to jump start your 'wholesaling machine'. This will be the real deal on Wholesaling - updated for the 2010 market.
 
Instructor:  Mark Fedderson, Pacific Union Funding. 

 Some of the main topics which Mark will cover include -
            o  The real rewards...and real
                      pitfalls...of wholesaling.
            o  Real techniques for finding
                      wholesale 
deals.
            o  How to find "Cash Buyers".
            o  What do you tell the sellers?
            o  ...and much more!
