| I'm a novice investor. I just joined AZREIA the night before last and attended my first Beginner's Series class last night. I wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how enjoyable the class was. Those two short hours were so informative. Thank you for putting together and leading such an awesome organization! I'm looking forward to attending this Monday's meeting. I'll see you there.

"Thanks
again for the great weekend at the New Investor Boot Camp. It was
tons of information to absorb, but I really got a lot out of it.
You and the tem are the best!"
Kevin Dunbar

"Thanks
for running a great organization. I've learned a great deal being
an AZREIA member. My greatest lesson has been that I know very little
and that networking and utilizing your good quality vendors is instrumental
to success."
Emmerich Knoebl

"I
just wanted to take a moment to thank you and Joan for all your
hard work. I don't know about other members, but this organization
is a dream come true for me. I found out about it at just the right
time for my long term goal of becoming a successful real estate
investor. The networking and educational programs are invaluable
in helping me achieve my goals."
Lori Campbell

"
I've been an AZREIA Investor Member since January and I've made
strides as a real estate investor that I never could have made without
AZREIA. I used a Business Associate for financing, who connected
me with an agent. Now, I'm a member of a land lording subgroup.
I am excited to continue, perhaps with some new avenues of investing
that I know about because of AZREIA meetings and education! I could
be a poster child for AZREIA except I know there are many others
out there like me who've benefited from AZREIA and will continue
to thrive. Thank you very much!"

| "I
just wanted to thank you again for all your efforts with the New
Investor's Boot Camp. It was exactly what I needed to be able to
get started as a real estate investor. The people that you got together
as facilitators and panel members were outstanding and the wealth
of information I received exceeded my expectations by far."
Sasanne Lange

"Keep
up the great work. I recently purchased a property from the trustee
sale and sold the property 2 1/2 months later (DEcember 2003) for
an $82,000 profit. I would never have been doing what I'm doing
without the knowledge I've learned from AZREIA."
Scott Lydy
|
"Thank
you so much. You know I think you are doing a fantastic job. I say
that to everyone I speak to at the monthly meetings or whoever I
tell to join AZREIA. I am super particular and your customer service
has been flawless."
Debra LeMore
|
"I
attended my first subgroup meeting last night. I just wanted you
to know what an incredible value it is going to be for me, possibly
the greatest value I receive from AZREIA and that's saying a lot!.
It was, and I'm sure will continue to be, awesome. The networking
and mentoring are great. Thanks."

"Please
give yourself a HUGE pat on the back! (or two!) Although we have
not been able to attend all of AZREIA's meetings due to work schedules
and keeping our small little properties functioning in the black
versus the red, we do follow the progress of AZREIA through your
updates and the website. The accomplishments that you have achieved
for AZREIA over the last 6 months are astonishing -- if only I had
the time to be there for every meeting, but at least I can read
about it in the Meeting Summary! Keep up the great work!"

want to write and let you know that this meeting was great.
I appreciate you getting the place for the meetings. It was
easy to hear what was going on and see the speaker. You put alot
of work into AZREIA and it shows. I know I don't say it enough
so I'll say it again. I'm so glad I joined AZREIA you have made
it a great experience for me. I was brought up not to get
involved. Thanks for your insight."
Judy Cox

and use in my business."

"Just
a quick note to say THANK YOU in the biggest way I know how, for
all that you're creating here in Phoenix with AZREIA. Since I met
you I've been nothing but impressed with you, your vision, the quality
of work you're creating and the movement that's swelling behind
you. I'm loving the speakers and your high energy. Thank you for
coming to Phoenix and for blessing us with your incredible dreams.

"Mr Dobbins did a great job last night.
He was a good speaker, showed a sense of humor and gave real, usable
information. He was very specific about writing things down,
screening tenants and serving notice . I particularly
liked his suggestion of recording conversations - that REALLY avoid
some problems! He also made me feel very comfortable with
is manner and demeanor and I would not hesitate to go to him for
further legal advice. Thanks for a great evening, a great speaker
and a great new venue!!!"

| "It
is time to give you a hearty THANK YOU for all of the work that
you and your staff do. Sharon and I look forward to each and every
Third Monday. The current meeting place is great, parking is convenient
and the excitement is always welcomed. Mondays entire sessions were
great. Thanks again and we will see you next month."
Harry and Sharon Whilden

"I just wanted
to congratulate you on another successful evening last night.
It appeared to me that there were many new members and guests
in attendance. I know that I was busy for the whole networking
session meeting new people that have not been to previous meetings.
This must be very exciting for you. It was extremely encouraging
to me to see the great networking and the continued growth of
the organization. I have had clients of mine that have been real
estate investors for many years tell me how much they enjoy the
monthly meetings. I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you
to keep up the good work."
Andy Werner

"I just wanted to let you know that
I have a fix up property under contract, we close Aug 25. I got
it for 76.9, it needs about 10k in work and should appraise for
115. Thanks for all your help."
|
| "Alan,
thanks so much for putting on such a great meeting last night. I
really enjoyed it and signed up for membership in AZREIA. I have
been trying to do this on my own and was getting a little discouraged.
It was great making so many good contacts with other people in the
same industry."
Corey Keating

"Thanks
so much for setting up the Options Boot Camp. Not only did we get
great information from Barney Zick, but we met and learned so much
from other attendees."
Chris Hudson

| "I
really benefited and learned a lot from Barney Zick this past weekend.
Great boot camp. Your meeting have been very educational.
We appreciate the excellent leadership you have provided to the
AZREA group. Thanks you."
Thomas Sparks

| "Good
to see you Saturday . . .as always . . .at the Diaz Seminar.
You've been a great help to me. 1 Example of many . . . had
you not E-mailed me about the Zick Seminar (since I was unable to
attend the July AZREIA meeting) I would not have known to sign up
for the Barney Zick Seminar. That info from the Seminar helped
me to do my two options. Elmer Diaz's Seminar was terrific as well."
Larry Goodson

"Thank
you for a good meeting last Monday night. It is so reassuring to
know that I'm never more than 30 days away from getting another
good investing idea. It saddens the people at the brokerage houses
to know that so many people are now in charge of their own financial
investments! Thanks again for the hard work you do. Each time I
attend I can tell you have put your heart into it."
Sandy Bennett
|
"I know you are very busy, but I wanted to just
take a minute to tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation
last night. I have been impressed by everyone I have met so far in
AZREIA. As a beginning real estate investor it is hard to know where
to go for answers. I look forward to learning much through this organization.
Thank you to you and the AZREIA staff for all your hard work and dedication.
You make it easier for people like me to get started. Thanks!!"
Patti Thompson |
"Thanks a lot for putting together another great
meeting. Don was a wonderful speaker and he was very informative.
You have done a terrific job in getting quality speakers and putting
together great meetings."
Jay Hofland |

"The class on Foreclosures with Mike was really
good. The combination of gift of gab, excellent knowledge and great
speaking qualities made the time fly by fast for a 6 hour class. There
were a lot of good questions from the attendees that made for some
good examples. The Foreclosure class was our second time to have a
class with Mike and a third time to hear him speak. He definitely
keeps you interested and entertained with his examples of what really
happens. We do recommend his class to other investors. We have been
really excited in AZREI and look forward to joining the subgroups
and volunteering where we can. We have also gotten other investors
interested in attending."
Brenda Gouge |
"The AZREIA staff members approach their responsibilities
with enthusiasm and dedication. The result is a highly professional
organization committed to meeting and exceeding the needs of its members.
The monthly AZREIA meetings provide an excellent vehicle to develop
one's business. The meeting forum offers the opportunity to network
with fellow investors, develop one's power team and gain insight from
the educational speakers. Becoming a member of AZREIA has been a positive
experience!"
Mary McMahon |
"Just wanted to say that you're doing a great
job. I really like the way the monthly meetings are conducted, the
direction the association is going and the opportunities membership
provides. I'm especially looking forward to participating in one or
two of the small focus groups. Keep up the good work."
Jim Johnson |
"It was a very enjoyable meeting. I know you
said Dolf would be speaking for over an hour and a half, but it just
flew right by. I could have listened to him talk another hour and
a half. It was enjoyable and educational. Thanks!"
Randy Moore |
"AZREIA has far exceeded my expectations, and
even hopes, for an investor-centric organization. Instead of being
dominated by real estate brokers who have their own agenda, it is
driven by and for the investing public. Many thanks and keep up the
good work!"
Jim Rowland |
"I enjoyed last night's meeting on 1031 exchanges.
I feel you are doing a wonderful job of creating a professional organization,
and I can see many true benefits to being a member. My compliments
to you and your staff."
Fred Meisenheimer |
"Kamala and I thank you for your commitment to
the success of AZREIA. We both enjoyed the meeting last night and
look forward to becoming more involved."
Mike Jackson |
"Just a note to say, WOW, that was a great meeting!
Congratulations on another great success."
John Tucker |
"Just a quick note from my hotel room in Sacramento
to tell you that you did a nice job last night at the inaugural meeting.
It was worth rearranging my flight schedule to attend. This organization
has been needed in the Valley for quite some time. Again, a hearty
congratulations."
Stuart Gethner |
"At last we have an Association dedicated to
the professional real estate investor in Arizona! The inaugural AZREIA
meeting contained a wealth of information for everyone from the novice
investor to seasoned veterans. The presentation on the goals and objectives
of AZREAI was crisp and punctual and Mike Maloney, the guest speaker,
was both informative and humorous. I believe the AZREIA focus on networking
and education will ensure the long-term success of this valuable organization
and I'm looking forward to future monthly meetings and the opportunities
they provide to meet fellow real estate entrepreneurs and to become
a savvy real estate "expert". Keep up the good work!"
Robert Hazlett |
"My wife and I attended the AZREIA meeting on
Monday and are really excited about the opportunities offered by the
organization. We really enjoyed your talk as well as the guest speaker.
We hope that you will continue to find speakers that are as energetic
and informative."
