Q. What is the difference between a meeting and a seminar?
A. Good question. Our monthly meetings are only two hours long, while our monthly seminars - which are held on the Saturday following our meeting - last either a half day or full day. Because of the extra time, we are able to cover a particular REI topic in much greater detail. In addition, all of our seminars include a comprehensive manual and a CD with the forms that you will need for doing that particular deal structure.
top
Q. What are some of your seminar topics?
A. At our seminars, we teach on a wide variety of REI topics. If you want to learn: how to become a real estate investor; how to make offers and negotiate deals; where to get the money to do a deal; how to buy foreclosures and pre-foreclosures; how to do Subject To deals or Short Sales or lease options; how to manage your rental property and tenants, etc., then take a look at the seminars we will teach in 2006. To do so, go to our homepage and click on the red directional button at the top left side that is labeled "Seminar Info". There you'll see a list of the seminars we will teach in 2006.

Q. What if I missed the seminar but still want to learn about a particular REI topic?
A. No problem. You can purchase our comprehensive manual about the real estate investing topic(s) in which you are interested. Our comprehensive in-depth manuals mirror our seminars. As a bonus, each manual includes a FREE pass to the next seminar we teach on that topic. In other words, when you buy a manual, you can attend the seminar for free. Now that's a hot steaming deal!
top
Q. What if I buy a manual but don't like it?
A.All of our manuals have a 30-day 100% money back guarantee. If, for any reason, you buy one of our manuals and it doesn't meet your expectations, simply return the manual within thirty days and we will gladly refund all of your money, with a smile, and no questions asked.

If you want to know whether there is a local REIA, or which real estate investing teachers and courses are the best, or what you should know before you make your first offer, etc., ask other local investors.
top
Q. Should I join my local REIA?
A. If you are interested in real estate investing, then yes you should. At your local REIA meetings you will find and be able to talk to other investors. These investors aren't the guys you see on late night TV trying to sell their REI courses. Rather they are folks similar to you who buy, rehab, sell, rent, and lease option property in your area. Who better to learn from?
top

A. If you attend one of our monthly REIA meetings and/or send us your name and contact information so we can send you our meeting notices, then you are a member of NGaREIA.
top
Q. If I am an experienced investor, will I learn anything at the monthly meetings?
A. Absolutely! At each meeting we feature an expert guest speaker(s) who covers a particular REI topic in detail. Between what the speaker covers and the question and answer session that follows, we all learn something new - no matter your experience level.
top
Q. If I have a business or service that may benefit real estate investors, can I sponsor a NGaREIA meeting?
A. Yes. If you want to be a meeting sponsor, please contact Kim Cook at kim@REIoutpost.com.
top
Q. How much does it cost to sponsor a meeting?
A. We only have one sponsor at each meeting. The cost to sponsor a meeting is $100. We announce our meeting's sponsor at the beginning and end of each meeting. During the meeting, the sponsor has five minutes to come up front and tell the REIA group about his or her product or service. In addition, our meeting sponsor gets a full page ad in our 28 page monthly REI newsletter, The Equity. Each month The Equity is read by more than 600 real estate investors. Also, each month's sponsor is listed on our website, as well as sent out in our meeting reminder email to more than 1,200 real estate investors. This could be the best $100 you have ever invested in advertising!
top
Q. What can I do if I have a product or service that will benefit real estate investors but I am not the meeting sponsor?
A. Before each REIA meeting begins, you are welcome to put a flier in each chair. However, once the meeting starts, no more fliers may be passed out.
If you just want to pass out your flier but not attend our meeting, you must still pay the admission fee.
top
Q. What is The Equity?
A. It is our free monthly real estate investing newsletter. Each month we mail and pass out over 2,000 copies!
The Equity is 16 pages and is in newspaper format. Each month's issue is loaded with solid, conservative, real-world "how to do that" real estate investing articles and information.
