Buenos Dias 

I’m coming to you from the Masters of Real Estate class in Las Vegas. I also got to attend eXpcon
at the Mirage with Grant Cardone.   It’s great connecting with old friends, my eXp tribe and meeting
new investors.  I think it’s critical to continue to get educated and keep
learning.  Meanwhile Zachary is attending Tony Robbins amazing Unleash the Power
Within in Florida.  We will both be back in Puerto Rico next week because it’s “meeting week”! 
(Our meeting is coming a week early this month due to Thanksgiving).Here’s you a little update on what’s going on with real estate in beautiful Puerto Rico. 
Lots of exciting projects and resources I want to share that will be helpful to you in
your investing journey and research:

 
NOVEMBER REIA RICO MEETING
We are now doing our monthly REIA Rico meetings with livestream as well as in person. 
Our next meeting is Thursday Nov 18.  Our guest speaker is going to be flipper and
youtube influencer, Jerry Norton.  Jerry lives in Puerto Rico.  He has hundreds of
thousands of followers, see his channel here: w.youtube.com/c/flippingmasterytvPlease join us Thursday:6:00-6:30 Happy hour and networking6:30-9:30 Meeting Get your tickets here:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/real-estate-investors-association-of-puerto-rico-reia-rico-tickets-161904539837Note that our event location is in the Vistas de San Juan condo building in the ballroom.  This
building is directly behind the Caribbean Sea View Condos in Miramar.  Take the ramp on
the left down and go thru the “tunnel” to park in the back lot. NEW IKEA
I’m excited to have a full sized retail IKEA in Puerto Rico.   This
opened in the San Juan area (Bayamon) within the past 3 months and it
is a full fledged IKEA, with furniture you can pick up instantly, just like
any of the IKEA’s in the mainland.  Previously the IKEA stores
in Puerto Rico basically only allowed you to place an order
and wait months for the product to be shipped.

LUNCH & LEARN
Each month we put on a lunch & learn for our community.  Here is the
event with Hector Torres at the Department of Tourism where we got to
ask lots of questions about how to qualify for the 40% tax credits. PROPERTY TOURS
We are always looking at property and looking for deals.  If you have a motivated
seller that needs to sell, reach out to us.  Here we are looking at a building in Santurce:

October Meeting
Last month’s REIA Rico with Jeff Watson & John Hyre discussing how they
successfully defeated the bill that would put an end to self directed IRA’s. 
This was broadcast to Jeff’s client list, we had 55 people on the zoom awaiting
the announcement from Jeff & John about what they’d just accomplished in 
Washington DC.  In fact, Jeff missed his original flight as he was meeting
with Congressmen just hours before the meeting!

BUS TOUR
Announcing our January Bus Tour – Jan 10-11, 2022
Mark your calendar – we are planning another bus tour.  This time we will tour some
properties on the east side of the island: Luquillo, Ceiba & Naguabo. 
We will also tour multiple properties in San Juan.   We are doing this in conjunction
with OZWorks.  This will be a real estate focused tour and not all projects are necessarily
Opportunity Zone projects, although virtually all are inside opportunity zones.
Here’s a photo from our bus tour in June.
