We lost someone great this week...

I have some sad news to share - Jack Miller, educator & investor, died on Friday. Jack presented at the SJREI last year, and I am so glad that we had the opportunity to host him. Jack was one of the old timers who was self-made, and then helped multiple others on the path to successful investing. He was funny, entertaining, interesting, and very creative financially - rarely using banks to acquire property. Nobody lived life as large as Jack. He was known for his Friday night open house parties in Florida in the winter, and in Reno in the summer, where anyone and everyone was invited to come talk real estate and enjoy cheap wine and pizza. Some of our members attended those parties. Jack will be sorely missed by his many friends and the investment community at large.

Bruce Norris Visiting SJREI

I am very interested in hearing what Bruce Norris will share regarding the current status of the California market , and what the next 2 years will be like for investors. For the investor who has been looking and waiting to buy here locally, his Saturday, October 3rd workshop should be considered a must attend event. Bruce will be presenting this timely and an incredibly useful day seminar to our members and local investors. Bruce will share the exact blueprint that The Norris Group is using to make money in TODAY'S California market. For those who are not familiar with him, Bruce Norris is a real estate investor who has been operating at a very high level, buying and selling over a thousand properties in his 30 year career. He has been involved in, and understands well, nearly every area of the financially or physically distressed single family home market - either for buying to hold or to flip.

As a precursor to Saturday, Bruce will be providing to the SJREI his annual Northern California Market Update, this year at two locations. We already have 175 people signed up to attend the evening meetings so sign up early to secure your seat. This event will sell out. On Wednesday, September 30th at our debut East Bay meeting at the Four Points by Sheraton in Pleasanton, and on Thursday, October 1st at our San Jose meeting at the Biltmore. His market timing forecasts have been very accurate in the past. As serious investors, we owe it to ourselves not only to know where our local real estate market stands now and where it is heading, but most importantly, we need to know when and how to take action!
