Bugs 101: How to Prevent & Profit from Creepy Crawling Things
Often overlooked by investors are those houses affected by bugs. You can get for cheap but how do you fix them?
Termites, Bed Bugs, Cockroaches, Fleas… you can make money on houses that have them if you know how to fix it.
Landlords are now hearing about bedgugs- but what can you do to safeguard yourself from them?
Featured on TV, Journal- Gazettee, WMEE we will have Veteran Exterminator John Long and his samples!
John has a lot to share about the new bug epidemic: Bed Bugs.
They’re here, and they’re not going away. “This is not your typical bug problem, if you attempt to treat it like you do other bugs, it will not solve the problem. It will get worse.” As usual, education is the answer. And those that apply their education will profit the most. Build wealth with us by learning and networking this Saturday.

Contribute a PEARL OF WISDOM at the Meeting
The awesome thing about real estate is that it provides us with great learning lessons. The great thing about a REI club is that you can now you can share those lessons with the membership. Give us a short lesson, 5 to 15 minutes in length, on a real estate topic or skill. the R.E.I. Association members have learned a great deal about practices and principles of real estate from other caring, diligent members.
From lessons on how to give a ‘Pearl of Wisdom’ presentation, to how to have a great lawn, to how to best negotiate with sellers and tips for screening renter applicants. Even words of encouragement about your first REI deal or a tough deal you finally closed can be a life-changer for a fellow member.
You don’t have to be a real estate guru to help others. Sharing your small life experiences can positively impact others and build relationships. And your lesson does not have to be a big production. Here is How Easy It Is
Take the Lead! Run a Monthly Meeting, Subgroup
When I ran a meeting there would always be a few people afterward who’d offer to call with deals or take me to lunch. I think it’s the idea that the person running things knows something about what’s really going on. There’s no line of people waiting to talk to the guy at the bottom of the mountain; the old wise men are at the top. I’ve made some great friends; not to mention a good bit of money from some deals sent my way. ~Scott FladHammer

Special Report: Exchange Creates Wealth by Scott FladHammer
Over the last month of our vacation I have attended an R.E.I. Association meeting about every other day around Pinellas County Florida. The amount of real estate talent and experience here is fantastic. I was lucky enough to have found an small underground group that focuses on the neglected concept of ‘Social Exchanging’.
When you look close at the intangible ingredient expressed by the word “exchange” you’ll find that Exchange is the very essence of wealth. But even more: land, labor, brains, and many other fundamental and essential elements are at the root of and created by our ‘exchanges’.
So, what does this have to do with you as a real estate investor?
The answer depends on how much you want to get (and give) in every transaction. You see, many investors leave a ton of wealth on the table during every transaction they do. The sad part of this oft misunderstood concept is that the ‘value’ you are leaving behind sits and rots on the table because no one else can capture it besides you, the investor who made the initial deal.
Log in and check it out right now… 
there’s stuff in this video that I’ve never revealed in public before – because I had not learned it (and most would consider me a pretty advanced investor). I go over things that you can put to use in your business right away to help more people by creating value so you can get what you want faster. More to come on this rarely talked about, but proven wealth creation technique soon.
Special Member Bonus: a very special guest teacher has been using these ‘social exchanges’ to do some amazing, outer-edges transactions for much of his 40 years of investing. I prodded him to open up and talk about his thoughts (he is notoriously private so it even surprised me when he said yes) so you can collapse those years to easily duplicate in your own business.
