We will have our March meeting next Thursday, March 25 as planned. Following the great information we received from Scott Grummer last month regarding what is happening in the downtown LR area, I have asked Ron Copeland to speak to us regarding the future of the University District area. For those who do not know, that is the area around UALR in Little Rock. They have prepared very impressive plans for change and initiatives have already started within the area.
We will meet at the regular place and time:
Crye-Leike offices
3400 JFK Blvd, North Little Rock
7:00–8:30pm, with doors opening at 6:30 for networking and deal-making.
I, for one, am very excited to hear the details for this area of Little Rock. Join us!
All –
After some deliberation, I have decided to postpone tonight’s meeting due to weather concerns. I now have sympathy for the people who have to make the calls on canceling schools! =)
So to play it safe, let’s postpone it. I’ve seen differing reports on timing of both precipitation and temperature drop: some saying it will be icing while we are meeting and another saying it won’t do anything until after we are done. And I’ve already had multiple members let me know that they won’t be attending because of their own concerns.
I will discuss with the officers about the possibility of rescheduling this meeting sometime in the next couple of months. I’d like to possibly do it in mid-February or early March. Regardless, we will make it up at some point.
Thanks for understanding. It’s a tough call.

As a reminder, we are meeting this Thursday at the Crye-Leike building on JFK in North Little Rock. As usual, we will be mingling starting at 6:30 and the meeting will start at 7:00.
For the majority of the short lifetime of this association, Scott Grummer was our president. A year ago, he stepped down to focus on his work with the Downtown Little Rock CDC. I have asked him to make a return, but this time as the speaker. He will let us know what is going on in terms of future and current development in the downtown area. Plus, he’s just a good guy that knows a lot about local real estate. I am excited to hear what he has for us.
We will see you all there!
We will be meeting next Thursday, October 29 this month at the Crye-Leike building in North Little Rock. Same place as usual, same time as usual: 7pm – 8:30pm (or 6:30 for some mingling).
This month, I have asked Steve Childress and Mark Hill to discuss short sales with us. What are they? How do they work? What is the process? Bring your questions to challenge their expertise. =)
This is a reminder that tonight is the last Thursday of the month. Therefore, we are
meeting!
Join us at the Crye-Leike offices at 3400 JFK Blvd in North Little Rock. We start
arriving around 6:30 for some mingling and networking and the meeting itself kicks
off at 7:00.
Tonight our guest speaker will be my father, John Lessel. Mr. Lessel spoke to us a
few months back about entity formation (or how to legally form your business). I had
many members request that he come back and do another presentation on equity
protection. So he has agreed to speak to us about how to keep your money and stuff
yours once you get it and keep it out of the hands of lawyers and lawsuits.
We hope to see everyone there tonight!
I apologize for the delay in the announcement, but we are having our August meeting tonight! Meet us at 6:30ish at the Crye-Leike building on JFK in North Little Rock.
Tonight, we will have Walter Malone, the Planning Manager for the city of Little Rock, come and speak to us about city planning, utilizing their office and some information about where he thinks things are headed in Little Rock.
We’ll see you there!
Greetings fellow investors. I hope that you are all having great and profitable months.
The end of the month is once again coming our way too quickly for me. It seems to happen every few weeks or so, doesn’t it? =)
This month’s meeting will be on Thursday, July 30th. As always, we’ll be there at 6:30 for networking and mingling and the meeting will officially start at 7:00.
Our guest speaker is Sloan Clinton, an accountant with JPMS Cox, PLLC here in Little Rock. I’ve asked him to come and talk to us about the tax and accounting topics that we need to know about while we are in real estate, specifically passive activity losses and the real estate professional IRS designation. Don’t have any idea what I’m talking about? That’s exactly why you need to be there. This meeting alone could save you enough money for a lifetime membership to CARREIA. =)
Here’s a quick bullet-point bio of Sloan:
Born and raised in Little Rock
Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from U of A, Fayetteville
Master of Accountancy from U of A, Fayetteville
CPA for 7 years

We’ll see you there!
This is a reminder that we will be having our May meeting on the 28th of this month. As always, we will be meeting at the Crye-Leike building on JFK in NLR at 6:30 and we will start at 7:00.
This month, we will have the Director of Account Management and Research for Stone|Ward, Emily Reeves, come speak to us about marketing. A good portion of you put down that you would like to learn more about marketing techniques and tips, so she is coming to give us a good overview of basic concepts and then go more in-depth about using social media and the importance of using it. It should be a very interesting talk and I’m very grateful that she has agreed to come speak to us.
Let’s show up in force next Thursday. Mark your calendars (they should already be marked) and let’s give her a great audience.
See you then!
We will be meeting on April 30 this month. Meet us at the Crye-Leike building in NLR on JFK at 6:30pm if you’d like to network and hang out. Our meeting starts at 7:00pm.
We will be hearing from John Pendleton about the perception of the Arkansas real estate market to outsiders. He will also give us some information on utilizing the first time homebuyer’s tax credits to our advantage.
I will also be going over some exciting developments that have been brewing over the past month as well as update you on how to get your National benefits.
See you there!
