Texas Real Estate Investors Expo

As REALTORS® and Affiliates we
recognize that we work within one of the
most active industries in Texas, and in the
best real estate market in the country, but
perhaps we do not take full advantage of
what is so readily available to us. We work
hard to ensure that our seller client gets the
best price possible for their home when they
sell, and that our buyer client gets the home
that meets their needs and for the best possible value. And we frequently encounter
investors anxious to find the best properties
that will not only allow them to earn some
extra money but could also offer them an
opportunity to help people facing distressful
situations.
During the course of my 37 years in
the business I have thought many times
about the possibilities of my doing some
real estate investing but quickly concluded
that first, I have no idea of what is involved
and second, I know nothing about handling
the financial aspects of this type of transaction, nor did I know where to seek the
answers. Recently I learned that next month
there will be a one day program held here in
San Antonio that looks like anyone could
get all the information needed to (1) determine if the ins and outs of investing could
work for them, (2) learn the costs that could
be involved and (3) find what resources are
available for securing the investment
monies.
The 2nd Annual Texas Real Estate
Investor Expo will be held this year on
Saturday, May 30, at the Omni Hotel on IH10 West (Colonnade) from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M.
with the Keynote Speaker for the event
being local businessman Red McCombs.
Few people in the San Antonio area have
had business success that is comparable to
that of Red McCombs and fewer people
have so consistently given back so much to
our community. This is a rare opportunity
for the general public to hear Red offer his
words of wisdom. Registration is now open
at www.TexasExpo.com. For the best value
the admission cost from now until April 30
is only $49, (enter promo code: REALTOR.) The price will increase to $79 for registrations between May 1 and May 29 and at
the door on May 30 the cost will be $99.
The Expo will open at 8 A.M. with
coffee and a Continental Breakfast and there
will be about 50 investment related
exhibitors on hand to offer their assistance.
The educational offerings will begin with a
30 minute session titled “Real Estate
Investing 101 – The Basics” starting at 8:15.
That will be followed by the first two of five
50 minute breakout sessions, each with five
different speakers, starting at 9:00 and
10:00. The afternoon breakout sessions will
start at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00.
Throughout the day there will be a
dozen or so expert speakers offering a variety of investment related topics: “How to
Earn Double Digit Returns and Retire
Early;” “Miracle of Wealth – Event
Centers;” “Leasing to Buy;” “How to Find
Deals with the Right System;” “How to Buy
HUD Homes with up to 50% Off;” “Invest
in Self Storage Centers;” “12 Ways to Profit
from Real Estate;” “Foreclosures and
Finding Abandoned Homes;” “Maximize
Your Business Credit;” “Assisted Living
Facilities;” “Purchase and Rehab Loans”
and finally “Self Directed IRAs.”
The General Session will be from
11:00 – 12:15 during which a barbeque
lunch will be served and Red McCombs will
speak at that time. This will be followed by
a Panel Discussion from 12:15 to 12:45 on
“How to Find Hidden Real Estate Deals.”
Then from 4:00 to 4:30 there will be “Must
Be Present to Win” drawings with prizes
that include, among several other desirable
items, three Big Screen TVs. The remaining
30 minutes will provide attendees with more
opportunities to visit with the exhibitors.
The Expo is being promoted by a
strategic alliance of real estate investor
groups and clubs, spearheaded by SAREIA
which has been active since it was established in 2002. SAREIA’s current President
is Real Estate Attorney, Broker & Investor
Victor M. Maas who has been working diligently behind the scenes to provide a meaningful experience during this second Expo
for all those interested in investing in real
estate. SAREIA is San Antonio's
largest real estate investor association and regularly holds smaller
sessions at 6:00 PM on the first
Tuesday of each month at the
OMNI hotel to which anyone is
cordially invited to attend.
According to SAREIA the purpose
for the Expo is to help prospective and current real estate investors at all levels add to
their knowledge by introducing them to
industry experts who have extensive experience in successful investing. The Table
Exhibitors will be there to offer information
about products and services to assist with
your investment including how to obtain
"hard money" financing for your projects. It
is also a perfect opportunity to network with
others who can provide you with information as to why this would be a good fit for
your investment goals.
Real estate investing may or may not
be in your future but it could be to your
advantage to learn what it entails and to discover all of the assistance available if you
are currently interested or were to consider
venturing into that field. Having this knowledge could also enable you to more effectively advise your investor clients. The Expo
is intended to be a major investor event and
should prove to be exceptionally informative.
It is anticipated that attendance this
year will greatly exceed that of last year’s
Expo which was right at 400. Keep in mind
that
early
bird
registration
at
www.TexasExpo.com is available until
April 30th and $49 (enter promo code:
REALTOR) is a reasonable amount to be
able to network with the experts and learn
what this form of investing is all about. For
more information you can call 210-5010897.

What’s Important Now?
“You are a product of your environment, so choose the environment that
will best develop you toward your objective; analyze your life in terms of its environment. Are the things around you helping you toward success or are they holding you back?” – W. Clement Stone
At the April meeting of WCR San
Antonio we were honored to have
William Edge, owner of William Edge
Salon in New Braunfels, TX and the
founder of Pure Edge-ucation. In addition
to his acclaimed artistic work, William
Edge is also an insightful motivational
speaker who spoke to our membership.
William reminded us we are a
product of our environment. Are the people around you successful or are they
holding you back? Don’t expect to see
positive changes in your life if you surround yourself with negative people.
Where will you find a group of suc-
cessful individuals who will help you
grow and expand your comfort zone?
You guessed it Women’s Council of
Realtors San Antonio Chapter.
We provide the stepping stones to
learn your way into being involved and
becoming a leader. Our membership
allows for one to learn how to be a leader,
follow, be involved and stretch personally. Through this you will gain confidence
and then be able to take that first step.
Some of the brightest, successful people
are our very own members.
The key resources we have in life
are time, money and relationships, are
you efficient with your resources?
William also reminded us out of the
key resources time is the most precious.
are you spending it wisely. In order to
manage our time, we should remember
W.I.N. a simple but powerful acronym
that comes from Lou Holtz, it stands for
“What’s Important Now?”
Ask yourself this question 30 times
a day, when you wake up, when you eat
breakfast, when you get to work you get
the picture. If you ask yourself this question throughout the day you will learn to
focus on what is important at any given
time.

Hopes High for the 84th Session of
the Texas Legislature
There’s a famous quote by Mark
Twain that reads, “No man's life, liberty,
or property are safe while the legislature
is in session.” Although Mark Twain was
a brilliant writer, he had a rather negative,
and incorrect, view of politics. Often, the
legislature is a force for good when it
comes to life, liberty, and property. In
fact, the San Antonio Board of REALTORS® and the Texas Association of
REALTORS® have high hopes that the
84th session of the Texas Legislature will
be a game changer for property ownership.
It begins with Senate Joint
Resolution 1 (SJR 1), which was introduced with several tax initiatives that
REALTORS® believe will ensure Texas
remains the best place to own property.
First, it greatly increases the property tax
exemption, doubling it for most Texans.
Second, it will place a question on the ballot in November where voters can amend
the Texas Constitution to permanently ban
taxing real estate transactions. And third,
it rescinds the $400 licensing fee that real
estate brokers pay every two years.
SJR 1 passed the Senate on
Wednesday, March 25th, and at the time
of this writing is waiting for a vote in the
Texas House. Meanwhile, the Senate also
passed legislation that would permanently
reduce the franchise tax rate by 15 percent. They also moved forward a bill to
exempt all businesses with less than $4
million in revenue from franchise tax liability. The message from Austin in the
84th session is clear. They want Texas to
continue to be the most attractive State in
the Union for business and property owners. This is great news for Texas REALTORS®.
Because of the fast moving nature
of the Texas Legislature, any news once
reported is old news. Be sure to follow the
San Antonio Board of REALTORS® and
the Texas Association of REALTORS®
on social media to get up to date information on everything happening at the capital.

NARPM President
Stop being “busy”
“Beware the barrenness of a
busy life.” - Socrates
The year was 2011. I was
burned out. I had only been in
the property management business for a year and a half, but I’d
been spinning my tires so quickly that all the rubber was melting
and soon I was going to catch
fire.
I was mentally exhausted. Physically letting myself
go. There seemed no hope in
what you would call my “personal life” because everything I did
was for my “business life.” I say
these not to beat my chest, but
these were the highlights of 2011
for me - Personal Life - proposed
to the love of my life at the top
of the Empire State Building;
Business Life - involved in two
National NARPM® Committees
in addition to serving as ViceChair of the Residential Resource
Magazine Committee, Vice-Chair
of our local Speaker & Events
Committee, awarded the Rocky
Maxwell New Member
Achievement Award at the
NARPM® National Convention
in Dallas and subsequently
awarded Rookie of the Year for
the San Antonio NARPM®
Chapter that December. All the
while I was still trying to grow
and advance my professional
career.
Did you catch that? I had
only ONE highlight in my personal life that year; compared to
the numerous highlights for my
business life. I wasn’t enjoying
life, or living my life. One of my
favorite quotes is from Greg
McKeown in his book
Essentialism, “If you don’t prioritize your life, someone else
will.” I was “busy” from being
everywhere all at once. I was working my tail off
but letting other people run my
life for me and tell me what to
do. I thought that was how to

get ahead - work, volunteer, and
work some more. Little did I
understand the impact of repeating that cycle for a long period
of time. It would almost drive
me out of the business.
Here are a few faults that
I’ve come to realize since the
burn-out:
• Perfectionism - I am a
perfectionist. Not as much today
as I was 3-4 years ago, but I still
am. I had to understand and
force into habit that my work
will not be perfect. I will make
mistakes so I can't worry about
making them. Just learn from
them and move on.
• Life - there’s more to life
than work. Trust me. I’ve done
the 6AM - 6PM shifts as an
employee on my own free
will…but what is there to show
for it? Work ethic?
Commitment? Ambition? Sure,
it’s all of those which I still possess and are principles in my
life, but what I regret is not
spending more time with my
wife during those times. And
now that I have an infant son I
won’t let that happen again. I
don’t want any regrets.
• Time - time is the single
most valuable resource we
have. If you waste a minute, an
hour, or a day….you will never
get it back and you can’t create it
again. Every minute is incredi-
15
bly valuable, so spend it where it
matters most to you. I spent a
lot of my time on things I
thought were important, but
really weren't. As William Penn
said, “Time is what we want
most, but what we use worst.”
Do your best not to waste it.
Furthermore, technology
and always “being connected”
has dismantled the value of
days/nights off, vacations, thinking, and simple quiet time. As a
millennial, technology has
become part of my life. I am
lucky enough to remember playing outside, instead of on a gaming console. Running down the
street to talk with friends, not
texting them. And spending
quality family time at home talking, reading, and being with each
other because there were no cell
phones, cable TV (yes, we only
had 5 channels), or other distractions. Those were the simpler,
less stressful days. So why can’t
we have that today?
We can. But it takes determination and self-control to
make it happen. We have to
make it a point now to disconnect.
Stay tuned for Part Two of
Stop Being “Busy” coming in the
June 15 NewsSource issue. Learn
what tasks I did to stop being
busy and take more control of
my life.

In December, 2014, Charles
Bamford, originally from South
Africa, and a current resident of
Boerne, introduced to San Antonio
and the surrounding area a new
storage concept that was originally founded in Australia in 2007.
Anyone who has the need to utilize interim storage for any reason
whatever should be made aware
of the simple process involved
thru Alamo Zippy Shell, i.e. (1) a
container is delivered to the home
in a Zippy Shell trailer, (2) the
homeowner sees that as much of
the home’s contents as will accomplish their specific purpose is
packed into the container(s) and
then personally secures the lock(s)
and (3) Zippy Shell picks up the
container(s) to take to a secure
warehouse to remain there until
needed again. If after packing the
homeowner finds they need something from the container, Zippy
April 15, 2015
Shell will bring it to them, let
them retrieve their items, and then
take it back to their storage area.
REALTORS®, have you
experienced listing a home that
needs some serious decluttering to
be sure it can be shown at its best?
We know the home’s garage is
most likely not the best place for
the homeowner to store those
items that could hinder proper
staging. Or, is your seller in a
panic because the sale of their present home is set to close tomorrow
and their next home will not be
ready for move in until next week
or perhaps next month? Zippy
Shell has already taken care of
many similar situations and the
plus side for you could be happier
clients if you were to simply suggest their service!
Zippy Shell’s containers are
15’ long x 7’ wide x 7’ high which
equates to about 100 square feet of
storage space and because of their
size can be conveniently situated
in large or small spaces. This is
important as many of the homes
in San Antonio and its surrounding areas, especially in those communities developed in earlier
years may have limited driveway
space and in some instances the
garages are located behind the
homes making access more difficult. Since interim storage is also
a plus for people moving out of
an apartment when their new
home is not yet ready it is good to
know that Zippy Shell can navigate within those parking areas
too.
Charles Bamford related two
recent examples in which Zippy
Shell was of service. In one the
REALTOR® had suggested to his
seller that she replace some worn
carpeted areas with a different
kind of flooring and so to get the
furniture and unnecessary items
out of the way the Zippy Shell
was delivered to the home at 7:30
A.M. and by noon the packed unit
was driven away for interim storage at the warehouse. With those
items out of the way the home
could then be properly staged to
enhance it for showings.
In the second situation an
elderly homeowner was moving to
a retirement center located near
her daughter who lived out of
town. The daughter had one con-
tainer packed with the items
selected to furnish her mother ’s
new apartment and that container
was then delivered by Zippy Shell
to her new home in Houston. A
second container, with items the
daughter wanted to keep was
delivered to her home in Houston
and the remaining items were
stored here until an estate sale
could be arranged locally.
While Zippy Shell is not the
only container service in the area
it is more convenient, less obtrusive and more affordable than the
others. It is also a more useful and
convenient service when compared to renting local storage
units. That usually necessitates
hiring a vehicle, personally loading it at one end, driving the vehicle to the storage unit and then
unloading it and of course the
process must be repeated when it
is time to move the items into the
new location.
So REALTORS® and Builders
you have an opportunity to help
relieve the stress and perhaps
even panic that homeowners and
homebuyers may experience when
confronted with the ins and outs
of selling their homes or with having to wait for completion of their
new home. For more details about
Zippy Shell you can reach Charles
Bamford at

Sitterle Homes has opened a new
model in Johnson Ranch, site of the
famed Clyde Johnson & Sons Hereford
Ranch in Bulverde that boasts a 60-year
history.
The development, at U.S.
Highway 281 and FM 1863, retains elements of its ranching past, including the
ranch headquarters. Sitterle Homes has
seven traditional single-family home
designs from 3,000 to more than 3,800
square feet in La Creciente at Johnson
Ranch, a gated neighborhood of onequarter- and one-half-acre homesites.
The one- and two-story designs have
multiple structural options and feature
open floor plans, rotunda entries, walkin closets in the secondary bedrooms
and walls of windows.
Sitterle Homes has selected a spacious one-story, the Calais design at
3820 Fox Trot Trail, as its model in the
history community. Reflecting the
openness of Johnson Ranch, the 3,520square-foot Calais offers four bedrooms
— one of which can flex to a media
room with wet bar — a private study,
wine grotto and open-concept living
area comprising the great room, dining
room and island kitchen. Multiple walkin closets and an extended utility room
provides ample storage. The Calais is
base-priced in the $470,000s. Grand
opening celebrations are slated for early
April.
Sitterle’s homes in the community are priced from the $430,000s. There
are 22 homesites are available in the
first phase.
An amenity center, which will be
near La Creciente, is expected to be
open by the end of the year. Residents
will enjoy a pool, splash pad, pavilion,
tennis courts, playground, multi-purpose sport court and open areas.
Johnson Ranch Elementary School is
open in the community and older children will attend Smithson Valley
Middle School and Smithson Valley
High School, all part of the Comal
Independent School District.
