Global Real Estate Investment Expo

Second Edition - March 2007, San Francisco

The first edition of the Global Real Estate Investment Expo in 2006 was a huge success and attracted close to 1,000 attendees with millions in transactions concluded at the show and even more closed within months after the Expo.

The Second Edition of the Expo in March 2007 witnessed twice as many exhibitors, twice as many attendees and more enthusiasm from the Real Estate investor community.

At the changing moments of the economic outlook and real estate market, investors are all looking for new angles for investment, professional opinions and market intelligence to validate their strategic positioning. They knew they were coming to the right source – our Expo. Attendees would sit through the many quality seminars carefully planned for them. Some of them came for the two whole days of the Expo. We were particularly encouraged by the many of the investor attendees at the end of each day who personally came forth and thanked us for arranging such an Expo for them. Sure enough this is the best compliments we can get. We take this further as our motivation to continue our effort in serving the investor community with yet better Expo.

Our exhibitors found the second version consistent with the first one in providing them with a source of qualified prospective investors and brokers. When there were talks of shifting of market direction and less optimistic investor sentiments, investors could be shifting their portfolios, and there were always investors looking for good investment opportunities. Many of our exhibitors were encouraged with instant business closed in the Expo and the list of hot leads for follow up. Our matchmaking session in the Expo also provide the exhibitors a chance to develop working relations with local brokers and agents to expand their sales channels.

Global Real Estate Investment Expo

Fourth Edition - March 8th, 2008, San Francisco

Global Real Estate Investment Expo 2008 ( March 8) was a Success!

Location, Location, Location. Now it is information, information and more information for investment decisions.

It is everybody’s knowledge that there are foreclosures, not a few but many, everywhere. Real Estate price is dropping. Interest rate has been cut, yet lending rate is not. What a lot of people do not know is, giving the current condition of the economy and market condition, what do they make of it and how to respond to it for investment gains?

On March 8, 837 attendees sought the answers in the Global Real Estate Investment Expo at the South San Francisco Conference Center. They were pleased with the time spent there. The most awaited speech by Mr. Larry Souza from Charles Schwab Investment Management about the economic trend and the Real Estate market condition for 2008 helped them set up a frame work to interpret all the market information.

The insightful California Market Update from Mr. Bruce Norris allowed them to navigate through the uneven terrain of California market to identify investment potentials. Then their attention was brought to the international market by Mr. Robert Helms of the Real Estate Guys not just to hedge against the uncertainty in domestic market but also to take advantage of the growth potential of selected markets overseas. Foreclosure characterizes this downturn of the market. But then, it is an opportunity pending the return of the market down the road. These expo attendees filled up the seminar room when Mr. Reggie Lal presented how to create wealth by investing in Foreclosures and REOs. In between the 14 seminars held that day, the attendees all had a chance to talk to brokers and developers of different projects from all over the US. They were quite satisfied with the information they got in talking face to face with the industry professionals and the chance to feel the pulse from the industry. Many of them praised Just Global, Inc., the organizer of the event, for bringing quality information to the investor community timely amid a confusing downturn of the market and economy.

From the speakers’ perspective, the many questions raised with such enthusiasm by the attendees during the Q & A session reflected a cautious and generally optimistic mood towards investing in near terms among these potential investors. Their interests in terms of property type shifted from single family residential to commercial and multi unit dwellings, with the exception of foreclosures that could offer built in values. They were all prepared to work with a longer investment cycle. Long Term Wealth Building replaces Short Term Profit Taking as happened before the downturn.

What many of the Exhibitors found out from the conversations with the attendees was that qualified investors are still out there working diligently for value investment. The sales cycle definitely will be longer than before. What is important is that investments are still being made. Packaging the value and presenting it in an easy to understand and compare manner is now a must in order to secure their commitment.

The Southern California version of the Global Real Estate Investment Expo will be held on June 14 at Hilton Los Angeles in San Gabriel, California with more up to date information and projects for the investors there.

Global Real Estate Investment Expo

Fifth Edition - June 14th, 2008, San Gabriel

The Global Real Estate Investment was successfully held on June 14 at the San Gabriel Hilton with over 870 attendees from the industry, the investor and the prospective owner community.

The market has been down. The news has been interpreted by almost everybody that it is not whether it is time to invest; it is where to invest and how to invest. The attendees were coming to verify their understanding with the experts in the Expo and to get updated information about the market condition. To their satisfaction, the expo speakers delivered more than they expected.
Mr. Bruce Norris’s California Market Report gave then an overview of the current market – foreclosure properties inventory and distribution. That led to the next question: where to invest and how to invest. The crowd came out from the fully packed room with a clear direction for investing and much better idea what to do next. Mr. Rehab presentation by Mr. Pete Youngs came to the audience in no better time. Not every foreclosure property is the same.
You have to be able to identify the right property and evaluate the total cost of acquisition and be able to do cost control in any rehab situation. This is an indispensable tool especially in investing in foreclosure properties. Some attendee expressed gratitude for having this arrangement done for them. Many investors are quick in jumping in to do investment. By the time, they cash out in the investment, they find they have to pay a lot of capital gain tax. That is why Mr. John Hyre’s presentation of Book Keeping, Taxes and Asset Protection was so popular among the attendees.

Attendees were also happy to see many different real estate projects on display. Not only it gave them a broad view of the market, there were actually projects that they found worth investing.

On site of the Expo, there were also REO Tours to Las Vegas and San Diego for people to sign up. The Tours were well received with eager participation. While Foreclosure dominated the attention of investors, the Global Real Estate Investors Club (www.GREIclub.com), co-sponsor of the expo, announced the intention to organize a Foreclosure Investment Fund to pool together resources to invest in the Foreclosure market systematically and efficiently while the window of opportunity is open. There has been a lot of interest in this proposition. For those of you who missed the occasion, you may contact the organizer for information by calling 626-512-7324 or e-mail to info@justglobal.net.

END-OF-THE-YEAR UPER SALES EVENT

Sixth Edition - Nov. 8, 2008, Milpitas CA

At the End-of-the-Year Super Sales Event on Nov. 8, more than 200 attendees showed up to listen to the different seminars of the day. The high attendance to Latest Regulation Update by the California Apartment Association and How To Conduct Due Diligence When Buying Foreclosures by Reggie Lal reflected the much sought information investors were looking for at the current market environment. The question filled session of Construction / Rehabb Financing and First Time Home Buyers Program presented by Wells Fargo Bank was a good indication of how much pressure the credit crunch had on investors and potential home owners alike. As a result, much interest was shown by attendees when Michael Morrongiello gave his talk on Creative Financing in Today’s Tight Credit Market. Tight financing aside, investors recognized the opportunity available in the current special market condition. Therefore, Andy Mogg and his team were overwhelmed with inquiries about the Cash Flow Homes in Dallas, while Mark Putney were busy with arranging follow up visits to his Commercial Investment Project in Belmont, CA. Riverwalk community in Stockton generated quality leads to work towards the end of the year with their promotion.

Attendees came back to us with positive feedbacks about the timely and quality information they could get from the event. The feedback enabled us to gauge their need and the priority in preparing a head start planning session for them in Year 2009 with our 2009 Kick Off Event.

   

Global Investments Expo

Seventh Edition – May 15, 2010, Milpitas CA

During the 2009, in response to the confusion and uncertainty that overshadowed the economic and market outlook, government stimulus packages were introduced to restore confidence of consumers and investors. Incentive programs from developers and foreclosure properties with adjusted pricing from lenders boosted up market activities. Our members were busy in reassessing new emerging sales scenarios and acquiring the right properties that would improve rate of return of their portfolio. In the second quarter of 2010 when the economy started to show some consistency in its activities, we hosted the Global Investments Expo to bring members up to date with the market. Mr. Larry Souza, Principal of Johnson Souza Group, spoke of the California Economic and Real Estate Trend. His forecast, supported with a lot of data, had been very well received by the audience that filled the venue. The presentation enabled our audience to understand the market in the months to come with a clear frame of reference. They felt more confident in what to look for and how to react to the new market trend. Mr. Paulo Sanchez of First American Exchange explained the challenges and opportunities for Investors in 2010. More fees, more tax and tough lending criteria are to be expected in this economy. Smart investors could tap on more creative financing resource to achieve investments goals. The presentation answered many questions shared among the audience. It also resulted in one on one consulting sessions. Our club, Global Real Estate Investors Club, presented the background and objectives of our investment fund to pursue opportunities in the foreclosure market. Many accredited investors responded to our presentation with follow up questions and subsequent participation. As always, our Expo came with investment projects for first hand examination by our audience. Geo Geovanni, of Real Estate Park, Inc. presented the newly re-valuated properties from Orlando. Starting at $99,000, the properties present the best value for second home or future retirement purchases, the best return of investment for investment property. Responses in the form of instant reservation spoke loudly for the appeal of the super value of the properties.
