• 8:00p Meeting wrap-up
• 8:30p Networking

Location

• Pizza and Beverages

Pricing

Open to the public for your first time! Membership not required for your first time.

• Members are admitted for free
• General public free the first time, then pay $50/yr for membership.

Part I: If your tenants are dealing drugs or turning tricks out of your apartment,
who do you call first? If the answer isn’t “the police,” come find out what you’re missing.
The police aren’t just for traffic and violence. Community policing can help owners stay in
business, avoid serious problems, and even change the course of neighborhoods.

This part will be presented by Officer June Conway. Officer Conway is the Housing Liaison Officer for
the City of Waltham. She has spent over thirty years in law enforcement and
speaks to colleges, universities, local businesses, chambers of commerce, and residents from all over. Her goal
is to partner with the public to make positive changes in crime, housing, juvenile misbehavior, and quality of life.

Part II: Do you have a Written Information Security Program? Are you compliant with
MGL Chapter 93H and 201 CMR 17? Find out how you can prevent
identify theft both for yourself and for your tenants, comply with the law,
and make life easier for your company in a digital age. We’ll cover the fundamentals
of data backup, password vaults, secure web browsing, Internet and hard drive
encryption, email tracking, and WISP’s, and
why anti-virus software has been made obsolete
by anti-malware.

We might not think about it, but in the course of screening tenants, many of us
gather enough information that, were it to fall into the wrong hands, our applicants’
identities could easily be stolen in their entirety.

This is an important presentation not only because we’re regulated under
pain of fines, but because by-and-large the rental operations we’ve seen are
not secure. Is yours?

This part will be presented by Doug Quattrochi, Executive Director of MassLandlords, Inc. MassLandlords
relies heavily on information technology, remote part-time employees, outsourced contractors,
and cloud storage. Doug has a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering and has developed software
for jet engines and several startups. He is happy to take questions on how MassLandlords has been able to
securely bootstrap to this point using the latest technology to safeguard information. Presentation has
been customized to be relevant to rental property owners of all sizes.

Have you seen our Leave Stuff, Take Stuff Table?

Market your business, pick up handouts, give away an old doorknob. Everything goes on our first-come, first-served display
table at all our events. Please bring business cards, brochures, coupons. And feel free to pick up your own uncollected marketing materials at the end.
Everything not claimed end-of-night may be chucked.

We’ve picked two different topics to provide something for everyone. (This event is a complete reschedule of the March meeting topics, which were snowed out.)

If you’re looking to make a new investment, don’t miss Justin Manning from JJ Manning Auctions. He will be talking about getting a great deal on a new investment property by attending a property auction. The dream is finding
an auction where you’re the only bidder, but even if there are others there (most common) learn how auctions work and how to make them work for you.

If you have property already, it’s peak rodent season. Jim from Westborough Pest Control will be talking about rodent prevention and treatment. This late in winter there’s no food for rodents so you’ll see them,
and for every one you see, there may be ten more in the walls. Come, learn, and free your business of rodent liability.

Part I: For “Ways to Make More Money,”, we’ll be presenting the best tips and tricks we’ve learned from talking with hundreds of landlords
over the years. We’ll start with easy stuff like knowing your water pressure (you do know your water pressure, right?) and work up from there. A major
portion of the presentation will be strategies for negotiating higher rent. We’ll end with guidance on leaving paper checks behind and going
digital with online rent collection that fits tenants’ income patterns. Don’t miss these strategies for improving your bottom line. Real estate is a great way to build wealth over time.

This segment will be presented by
Doug Quattrochi, Executive Director of MassLandlords, Inc. MassLandlords
members represent the experience of tens of thousands of rental units, and each presentation a new idea comes up that gets worked into
subsequent presentations. Come prepared to learn some great ideas but also please think about what you want to share with the room. Together we’ll make
this a meeting our balance sheets and the Commonwealth’s housing stock will thank us for.

Part II: Although the sexy-scary term we all know is “hard money lending,”
we’ll be covering the whole spectrum of lending options available to real estate investors and related businesses,
including leasing, sale / leasebacks, revolving lines of credit, purchase order financing,
factoring, and finally, private placements (aka hard money loans). We’ll learn what kinds of projects are appealing to whom,
how to pitch yourself as a borrower, and how to exit creative financing once your project fits into a cookie-cutter mortgage.

This segment will be presented by
Dennis Coy, Senior Partner at Capital and Financial Center . This is his 45th year in corporate finance; having spent 22 years in commercial banking
(Shawmut and Bank of Boston)
and then since 1994 he has operated his own commercial finance brokerage firm. He has been involved in small deals ($ 100,000’s)
as well as large ones over those years; the single largest loan he’s worked on was for $150,000,000.
Dennis even has been involved in financing aircraft, ships, and even a railroad company; plus all sorts of real estate deals
such as strip malls, fix and flips, commercial owner occupied, mixed use, etc.
