CREIA VIRTUAL MAIN MEETING
Tuesday, September 15, beginning at 6:30 p.m.
The business climate has changed! Attend Tuesday’s main meeting to get answers and tips on being a housing provider during this pandemic and participate in a Property Smackdown!
The current COVID climate is impacting the way housing providers operate, so members are asking should I do this at all? Is it worth it to be a housing provider in the current business climate? Even the term “landlord” is getting a bad rap these days, so a better handle is needed. Fresh, clean, and much more inclusive and descriptive, housing provider is that new term. Under the NYC Human Rights Law, a housing provider is any person or entity that has the right to sell, rent or lease, or the right to approve the sale, rental, or lease of a housing accommodation.
So, while CREIA members can learn the pros & cons of being a housing provider, in the current challenging, changeable business climate, many new questions are on their minds: Is there still value in being a housing provider, or has the time for small housing providers come and gone? What are the pros for being a landlord? What are the risks, compared to the value? And these days what are the odds of things going well?
Join us on Tuesday, September 15th, when experienced CREIA housing providers will answer these and other questions on this topic. See, here at CREIA we talk about all sorts of strategies for building wealth. But if you want to learn the ins & outs of being a housing provider in the current, challenging COVID climate, this is your meeting. A panel of our most experienced housing providers—the folks who are already where you want to be—will talk about how they are doing business these days and answer those questions.
And one more thing: Housing providers are extremely competitive, each thinking their property types are the best. Get ready to vote during our Property Smackdown! As a special treat, we will conclude this meeting with a Property Smackdown to answer every investor’s question – what type of property is best? Is it Short-Term or Long-term Rentals, Buy to Flip or Buy & Hold, Bare Dirt or Property with an Existing Structure, Single Family Residence or Multifamily Units, Apartments or Mobile Home Parks? What do you think?
SEPTEMBER 15 VIRTUAL MAIN MEETING SUMMARY: Presentations begin at 6:30 p.m. with CREIA business, market update and our buy, sell, want, need session. Panelists with decades of combined experience will answer questions, inform, and share their advice about what it means to be a housing provider during a pandemic! This meeting is your chance to gather hard-won, in-the-trenches advice from people who have reached the summit so that you can be successful! And don’t forget the ever-popular Property Smackdown!

CREIA Henderson County Focus Group - Leadership Change, by Tom Boyd
Pass the Baton / Retirement / Departure Comments
As announced at the August 25. 2020 Focus Group Meeting
I have decided it is time to “Pass the Baton” for leadership of the Henderson County Focus Group of CREIA. I am not moving or leaving the area, rather focusing my time on other priorities.
The CREIA Board has identified Ryan Howell to take over this responsibility and I know he will do an excellent job leading the group in the future and that you will give him your outstanding support as you did for me, starting tonight.
My parting thoughts I would like to share with you -------
First, some background and history on this focus group for more recent CREIA members: I organized this group about 20 years ago, shortly after moving to Hendersonville, and joining CREIA.
My wife and I were long term RE investors and continued to do so after our move to Hendersonville.
It soon became apparent to us that a separate forum to focus on issues and government affairs related to Hendersonville/Henderson County for CREIA members investing in and located in Henderson County was an opportunity for CREIA. The Board agreed and encouraged me to form the new sub group in late 2000. In some ways, it was surprising to find over time that many meeting attendees came from well beyond Henderson County, including from Eastern Tennessee and South Carolina.
We have been meeting at the Bay Breeze Restaurant in Hendersonville since January 2001.
The results we have achieved over this time period are due in great part to: 1) the teamwork of many CREIA members who served on our 4 person Program Committee, and 2) other members and outside guest speakers who willingly shared their RE Investing methods, expertise, success stories, and lessons learned. These individuals who ‘made the difference’ are too numerous for me to recognize in this setting, but I know they were rewarded by the satisfaction of helping others, as I have been.
Thanks to all of you for my 20 + year opportunity to work with such an outstanding group of volunteers in a worthwhile and meaningful cause. CREIA is a unique organization, and I should note that Audrey Hager has done a splendid job leading the organization for the past 2 years and I have enjoyed working with her.
All my best to each of you,
Tom Boyd

Thank you for attending. If COVID-19 restrictions let up, we are planning to have an outing where everyone may network face-to face, practice what was learned, ask questions, and grab a bite to eat. We will let you know as soon as we can. In the meantime, we are here if you need us and hope to see you again next year as programming changes annually. Bring all your friends. Until we see you…be kind to yourself and others. Congratulations again on this accomplishment!
