Saturday Intensive Class:
A Virtual Property Inspection
& Repair Cost Estimation Masterclass
with Jerry Fink
Saturday, August 13th, ONLINE
9 a.m.-3 p.m. Eastern
Learn to AVOID
The BIGGEST Mistake New Investors Make
At Our Virtual Property Inspection
& Repair Cost Estimation Masterclass…
When new retailers lose money on deals, or new wholesalers can’t sell deals, or new housing providers don’t get the cash flow or rate of return they thought they would, the problem almost always comes down to one thing…
…They didn’t know what needed to be done to the property, or what it would cost, BEFORE they closed the deal.
Until you have a grip on these basic skills, you can’t even make smart offers.
So it’s worth a day of your time and a few bucks to REALLY learn what to look for, how to recognize problems, and what it costs to fix them—and we’re so sure this online Masterclass will do it for you that if we’re wrong, you won’t pay.
Get the details (yes, it will be recorded and yes, every registrant will get the recordings, and yes, there are bonuses) and get registered HERE.

MEET TOM DALEY
CREIANC MEMBER OF THE MONTH
August 2022
CREIA NC would like to congratulate Tom Daley – Member of the Month for August 2022.
Please find an inspiring message from Tom.
I was a mechanic for over 20 years before starting in real estate over 30 years ago in Florida. We bought a small rental home in Daytona Beach that we sold just before moving to North Carolina in 1991.
With my daughter in Elementary school, I wanted to find work that allowed me to be there for her and volunteer for all of her school activities. We were lucky enough to start loaning money for personal mortgages which then led to flipping homes due to foreclosures on several of the mortgages I held. Not long into my journey in real estate I found CREIA back when the meetings were in the old AB Tech building in Candler. I learned more about investing from their invaluable workshops and networking opportunities. I started volunteering more at the school and with Habitat and Samaritan Ministries and stepped back from CRIEA for a few years to spend more time with my family and community. I joined back with CRIEA a few times once I transitioned back into lending again after the Frank Dodd Act.
The connections I made with the many experienced CRIEA members helped me to build my lending business back up and learn the new laws and regulations. I am getting my daughter involved in CREIA now so she can learn more about investing and hopefully one day soon takeover for me. If you are looking for a hard money lender or have any questions on how I handle my loans, please give me a call.
Contact Tom directly from your CREIANC.org account! Sign into CREIANC.org, My Account, Members Directory to find Tom and other community members.
Community Counts! Congratulations again Tom on all your accomplishments. We are glad you are a part of the CREIA NC community.
MEET WILL AND CHARLENE THIBODEAU
CREIANC MEMBERS OF THE MONTH
JULY 2022
CREIA NC would like to congratulate Will and Charlene Thibodeau – Members of the Month for July 2022!
Please find an inspiring message from the Thibodeau’s…
We married in 2016 when we met at AB Tech. Charlene received a degree in Office Management and my degree was in Web Technologies.
In 2018, we decided to get back into the building business, only to build for ourselves. We build what we can sell or rent. In 2020 we completed our first duplex. In 2021 we did a small house in Woodfin and now we are finishing a house with a tiny house on the same lot in Kenilworth. Our next project will be 2 duplexes on a lot off Charlotte St. We are looking for land suitable to use for a small apartment project (8 to 15 or 20 units) in the next year.
Charlene is a native of Asheville. Graduating from Erwin High School, she has 2 beautiful daughters living in the area. She has a background in childcare and has been a member of the Richland Baptist Church since 1977. So, her roots run deep in this area.
Will is native to Kansas and moved to Asheville from North Port Florida in 2007. Will has been a licensed contractor since 1990 and worked as a City of Asheville building inspector from 2007 to 2012. He held a real estate sales license for a brief period in the early 1990’s but never worked actively as an agent. Will has built and rented homes and bought and sold land for many years.
We have found that attending the monthly meetings at CREIA has many benefits. Networking is very important to any business and the relationships that we have established are very important to us. The camaraderie and the fellowship with like-minded investors is always fun. The education presentations that we have attended have all been very informative and professional.
Community Counts! Congratulations again Will and Charlene Thibodeau on all your accomplishments. We are glad you are a part of the CREIA NC community!
