The Connecticut Real Estate Investors Association, or CT REIA, in association with Andy Heller is announcing the February 2010 monthly meeting with Andy Heller. This event will take place on Monday, February 15th, from 5:30pm to 9:00pm, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Cromwell, CT. This event is free for CT REIA members, and $30 for non-members.

Andy Heller is known for his “Buy Low, Rent Smart, Sell High” real estate investment strategy. What makes this strategy different from others is that investors involved in this program see gains independent of real estate appreciation. In 2005, Fortune Magazine recognized this program as one of the top five real estate strategies.

Attendees of the meeting will learn; why the current real estate market is a great opportunity for real estate investors, how to utilize bank-owned properties, what types of properties can you buy from the bank, why motivated tenants are a key to becoming a successful landlord, how typical lease options minimize the return from investments, and much more.

CT REIA is an organization that provides motivation, networking opportunities, and up-to-date education for people that want to buy their own home or investment property in today’s real estate economy. Each month, a nationally known real estate investment trainer is featured. Real estate professionals, investors, landlords, realtors, contractors, wholesalers, rehabbers, and the general public are invited to attend our monthly meetings for educational and networking opportunities.
