Coach Carson is a real estate investor, world traveler, father of two beautiful children and husband to his wife & adventure partner.
Chad’s Three Main Beliefs:
- Invest in Real Estate.
- Retire Early.
- Do What Matters!
Learning to do more of what matters is a great plan, but for most, money gets in the way. It’s what keeps us working at a 9 to 5 job for way too long. What could you do more of if you didn’t need to work for money? Chad Carson will show us a path to get out of our own way.
Coach became an entrepreneur in 2003 right out of college with $1,000 in the bank. He had to hustle every day just to put food on the table. But when he finally learned to acquire and profit from real estate investment properties, the rat race of working for dollars finally began to slow down. And it eventually allowed him to retire early (i.e. working for money is optional).
PROGRAM CONTENT: Chad is planning to present all new content and vital strategies of doing deals and has agreed to share his secrets with our CREIA community.
- You’ll learn: Negotiating with sellers, knowing the questions to ask, practicing the skill of LISTENING to your seller, working with sellers to solve their problems and get to a YES for a win-win, Plus he’ll share more vital components of doing deals and answer your questions.
- Because life is too short, it’s time to turn to one of the best tools going to help you retire early and regain your time – Real Estate. Chad has shown he is very good at getting that YES. You can too!

November’s Member of the month, Mark Bondurant
Please join us in congratulating Mark Bondurant – he has been selected as the Member of the Month for November here at CREIANC!
For several years, Mark has served as the leader for the Intermediate Investors sup-group for CREIANC where he brought us a variety of great speakers, programs and tours. Mark has now relinquished that role and we thank him and wish him well in his future endeavors!
Mark is the owner of Rare Earth Builders in Canton, NC. He believes it is urgent that humankind - with humility and deep appreciation – assume the role of caretaker for this blue planet. At Rare Earth Builders, they are seeking to contribute to the healing of Earth by using more sustainable practices within the realm of human shelter. You can see a portfolio of his homes at www.rareearthbuilders.com.
He started his business of building green custom homes and additions here in Asheville in 1999.
He joined CREIA in 2016 to investigate investing and building speculatively and to become better informed about how lenders operate. Mark is a hands-on business owner who believes in doing what he enjoys, do it well, always improve the product and service and success will follow. The Great Recession of 2008 proved to be a reset for Mark as it was for many others in our area. That got him thinking and led to him investing in his financial education.
In addition to building green homes and additions, he has done some flips, holds some notes on homes in the area and is now preparing to build a duplex on his property. He also owns property near downtown Waynesville where he plans to build several duplexes. His desire there is to create a community with shared gardening space, outdoor gathering areas and plenty of greenspace.
Before completing a Master’s degree in mass communication/print journalism, Mark served four years in the US Peace Corps: two years in Cameroon, West Africa doing inland fisheries and small livestock and two years in the Kingdom of Tonga, South Pacific doing marine fisheries research.
Before coming to western NC in 1994, Mark was a reporter at a daily paper in Georgia. He lasted two years before realizing he had to get away from the computer screen and get outdoors working with his hands.
Mark grew up by the Atlantic Ocean in Ft. Lauderdale and he says he knows that one day he will be back by the ocean or atop it on a sailboat!
The CREIA board honors your integrity and commitment to serving others. Way to go and thank you Mark!

HOW TO ATTEND VIRTUAL MEETINGS:
Hello CREIANC.org Nation, we apologize for difficulties any members are having getting access to our online meetings. There have been some technical issues on our end that we continue to work on. Since all this craziness started, we have learned a lot about converting our meetings to online webinars and the team has spent countless hours revamping the websites and email notifications to accommodate the new changes.
