Last night was the Rutherford County REIN (RC.REIN) meeting and we have already posted some of our notes, some have been reserved since Jonathan was the presenter and want to reward the people who were present. At the same time, where was much more information he could have presented.

REIN’s Cashflow Night – Saturday April 12th starting at 5:30pm
Cashflow is a great educational and fun game based on the book and principles of the book Rich Dad; Poor Dad. It’s a great time to meet more people and keep your mind thinking about areas you have not been involved in before.

REIN Main Meeting – Monday April 14th
We plan on getting there early for SIG and staying until it end.

• *NEW* REIN website
• *NEW* REIN members only area
• Google Apps

There are many nice areas that you should take advantage of with the *New* REIN website & Google Apps can make it where you can get a very simple and easy website up and running quickly and make you look more professional.

Here are some of the places on the REIN Website that you should take advantage of:

Open to Public:

• REIN Calendar – first place to see what is scheduled
  
• Media List – go to the main meeting with a shopping list
  
• Classifieds – viewable by the public, only members can post items

Members area:

• Reference items, like Board and Leadership contact information, Discounts, and roles one could fill
• My Info – edit your contact info & profile, add an image, and manage what emails you receive
• Message Board – there is an area for communication between subgroups, the RC.REIN group sets up carpools there.
• Survey – please fill this out to help the leadership know what you want and need

At this point the group requested some information on Google Apps.

Google Apps does some things great, and some thing acceptable for just starting out. It is great for running your email, and allowing for good collaboration and communication between people. It is easy to use and this morning we had already received the following email:

I really got a lot from your presentation at the meeting last night. … I went home from the meeting and started my website. I’ve never built websites before but was still able to come up with this: www.hardenpropertygroup.com. It’s not much, but it’s way better than nothing. I appreciate your great advice.
~ Dave Harden, Harden Property Group

If you use your website as a major communication, promotion, and data storage area, you will eventually want to move to something more powerful or more customized because you want something more then the limitations on the website side.

As far as the email, documents, sites, and other programs. Nation Investors and many other more advanced websites use them still. I am even typing up the initial notes in Google Docs.

It was a great meeting, and I enjoyed meeting new people. If you need help with a website, or just need a coach, we have a sister company focused in that, contact us.

The presentation will go through the new Real Estate Investors of Nashville (REIN) website, and Common Opportunities missed Online.

Meeting begins at 6:30pm sharp in Murfreesboro.

The new REIN website has many options one can explore and use to get the most out of a REIN membership. At the same time, Jonathan will look at mistakes people make, this part of the presentation will provide a marketers or webmasters look at your own online presence.

Why are you not taking advantage of every opportunity that on demand technologies like RSS feeds, IM, and podcasts.

Meeting begins at 6:30 and ends with networking time.

If we have not meet, we look forward to seeing you. Jonathan will be there, others are questionable at this point. The main focus is auctions, a way to move a house fast.

Subject: The RE-Myth: How to Run Your Real Estate Business Like a Business

Time: 7:30-9:30 p.m. CST – Q&A from 7:30 – 8, and main presentation the rest of the time.

With Vena will be Missy McCall-Hammonds, a real estate entrepreneur “who in just 9 short years has bought and sold over 450 properties, maintains a rental portfolio of more than 300 units, and continues to purchase and renovate an average of 1 house a week.”
