Darin is also the organizer of the Metroplex Real Estate Buying and Investing Meetup; He will come and discuss the steps necessary to transition from investing in single family homes to multi-family dwellings.

Check out what members are saying about The Rockwall Real Estate Investment Club:

"First of all it is fresh and new. It is free, that's a good. But most importantly it has people involved that want to do well in real estate and are putting good professionals together to help the members get educated.
I look forward to upcoming meetings and learning more practical information from people that are doing it in real life.
This group does not have books or CD's for you to buy. They bring in real estate professionals from different aspects of real estate that you will come across and let them tell you how it is out there. Real life experience with questions and answers coming and going.
Knowledge is power, show up and learn something for free!!" - Tom Belenski

"If you really want to get into Real Estate Investing, you need to be surrounded by others who can help keep you from making those $5000 mistakes, for FREE. Also, if you really want to make a go of it, where else can you get great business advice for free and it only takes an investment of 3 or 4 hours a month. The business advice is from local professionals that volunteer their time and effort to make this a great Meetup Group. Almost every aspect of realestate and business professionals is represented by the core group, making it more valuable than any single class or seminar I've experienced." - Milton Kelsey

"Good group of people - good environment for the less experienced investors." - Mark Brown

"The folks who attend this meeting are all happy to share their knowledge and lend a helping hand to us newbies." - Dustin Potter

"The Rockwall investment club is excellent! Mitch is friendly and straightforward and always keeps the best interests of the members at the forefront. He is adament about not having a "sellathon" but instead makes sure the presenters give us current, valuable and free information without strongly trying to sell us their service/product. The members range from novice to very experienced and willingly share their concerns and information. There's something here for everyone!" - Ron Gausman

George Bush Turnpike Extension -- Does Change Mean Progress?

I moved to Rowlett in 1988; In the last 20 years, I have watched Rowlett grow from a population of about 18K to over 55K people. I have seen many leave Rowlett durin g its initial growth spurt claiming the cozy city "lost its country feel". The exodus began when Dalrock Road and Hwy 66 were widened into divided highways. For those of us that have "hung in there" believe that the changes have been for the better and were long overdue.

    Fastforward to 2008 and even greater change is upon us. The George Bush Turnpike (GBT)Extension; before the GBT there was no high speed way to travel from Rowlett to North Dallas. Now the GBT serves as a gateway to the entire North Dallas region. However, this gateway has a price that is levied in the form of tolls. If you travelled along Liberty Grove Road, you will notice that construction for the GBT is underway. The groundbreaking ceremony for the extension took place on August 21st of this year and we are starting to significant changes in our landscape due to construction.  

.

The Eastern Extension of the GBT is expected to be the spark that lits the fire of economical development for the City of Rowlett. For the past few years, dozens of businesses have begun to strategically invest into building an strong retail foundation in Rowlett. This boost in commerce has made it more convenient for residents to shop and enjoy leisure time right here at home.'s commerce. Remember that progress is often accompanied by inconvenience.

I will save you MONEY!!!

The Second Speaker is our very own Lender, Lynne Minter, coming to give us the ins and outs of lending from Superior Lending. The rules have changed and you need to hear them.

She also helps repair credit so if you lack something in that area this is your resource to correct it!!!

Last Speaker will be a Professional AC man that installs and repairs units.

Rockwall & Rowlett Area - Realtor Self Defense

How often are you asked to meet a potential client to preview houses and you get an erie feeling that something isn't quite right. As Realtors we are often in situations where we are alone with total strangers and their intention may not always be honorable. You should learn to trust your instincts and response responsibly; this does not mean that you have to cancel the appointment and run. Just take awareness training and learb to protect yourself should you need it.

I believe it is wise to always be aware of your surroundings and mentally prepare an exit strategic should you need it. If you were confronted by an attacker that meant you personal harm, what would you do? If your answer is "I don't know" or "I am not sure" then you definitely would benefit from taking womens self defense clinic. This 2 hour of instruction could be a matter of life or serious personal injury. There are basic manuvers for disarming a "would be" attacker that can be executed by almost any woman.

Call or email Rockwall ATA Black Belt Academy for more information at 972-772-0044 or info@rockwallata.com on their Women's Self Defense Clinics.
