COMMUNITY PANEL
Join us to learn from several speakers; Gail Peay, Habitat for Humanity's VP of Strategic Initiative will discuss their volunteer needs that include small one day type jobs, not taking on an entire house build. Perhaps we can help spread the load by lots of us doing a few things without a major commitment.

Ginny Stroud, Greenville City's Community Development Director, will share the city's growth of recent past, current and future. She always provides a lot of good info on RE issues. Knowing what is going on is a key factor to success. Know where the city is investing money in parks, business districts, rezoning, opportunity zones, etc.
Gregg Branham UCREIA Board Member will discuss the concept of "Starters, Builders and Enders" in the RE realm. How all 3 levels of experience and involvement can work together to do even more deals. How many multi-person deals have you done with UCREIA members and vendors??? With 2, 3, 5, 7 or more people/businesses on one deal?? It’s possible. Think about it. (lead generator, wholesaler, rehabber, locksmith, private or hard money lender, IRA comp, insurance, HVAC, electrician, pest control, paint, water/fire/mold remediation, roofer, kitchen design, stager, realtor, property manager, note buyer, and more. UCREIA has so much to offer in its Members and Vendors. We all have something to offer, perhaps in exchange for what someone else has to offer. Let's explore the opportunities.
Fran Powell, Paralegal with Guest and Brady Law Firm Greenville County Tax Sale division, will discuss Tax Sale Preparations and Importance of Title Searches .How to prepare for the tax sales, how it works, what are the overages, what is the Forfeited Land Commission, and much more.
