This meeting will offer a "town hall" or "forum" style meeting, with the Speaker Panel taking questions from members and guests and providing their answers and opinions to meeting attendees. Members and guests will want to be prepared to ask questions and hear answers from knowledgeable SREIA mortgage professionals, and be ready hear differing viewpoints from the panel of speakers. With the real estate market in this re-adjustment period, advice from qualified mortgage experts is exactly what is needed. Banks are overwhelmed with foreclosed properties and SREIA’s panel of speakers can give us advice on how to navigate the waters.
The experts that comprise the panel will share their ideas and opinions. Be sure to attend the SREIA "Evening Of Mortgage Information" and bring questions to pose to the speakers. You’ll hear different viewpoints and you’ll glean knowledge from some people who are "in the know"

He went to work for Franklin Credit in Cincinnati Ohio in 1966 as a trainee in collections and skip tracing, working for one of the few finance companies in the state that was making mortgage loans. He moved on to GE Credit Corp (now GE Capital) in 1969. After many promotions spanning from branch manager to national operations manager, Collova left GE in 1979 and returned to Florida, working in the mortgage brokerage industry as a marketing and operations manager.
Chuck Collova started his own mortgage brokerage business in 1981, C & C Financial Services, located at 4127 W. Cypress St, Tampa. Collova knows that money is the key factor in creative real estate. The market changes in the last few years have been dramatic. Chuck will share some advice about avoiding the pitfalls whether you are buying, holding or selling.
Lettie Tice of Next Generation Financial Services, a division of 1st Mariner Bank, will share her knowledge of reverse mortgages and how this tool can be used to help consumers achieve their financial goals.
Lettie says that just a few years ago, the only way a financial advisor or insurance agent could get a reverse mortgage written was to refer their client away to a captive reverse mortgage specialist. Most financial advisors will tell you that this makes them feel uncomfortable, and some will even tell you that they have been burned in the past because they lost control of their case design. Currently, it is possible for financial advisors to not only write the reverse mortgage, but also maintain control of the financial plan they developed for the senior. Lettie Tice will share her knowledge and give good basic guidelines for what to look for and what to avoid when considering a reverse mortgage.

Real Estate Basics Meeting
Thursday, June 18, 2009, 7:00 PM
"Profits In Mobile Homes"
Presented by: Lenny & Anne Cimador
Lenny Cimador was a Florida public school science teacher and baseball coach
who realized that, while he loved his work, the salary and pension program
would never provide financial freedom.
Lenny took advantage of early retirement at age 50 and turned his attention
to full time real estate entrepreneurship. After first investing in
education from several noted gurus, Lenny and his wife Anne, an R.N., began
purchasing mobile homes for cash flow and other benefits.
They will discuss the pros and cons of buying mobile homes vs. stick built
homes; why mobiles can produce more cash flow than single family homes,
their criteria for purchasing a mobile home, management of single family
mobile homes, and the logistics of re-selling a mobile home while keeping
the land. Lenny will also point out mistakes they made and what to avoid
when purchasing mobile homes.
Bring plenty of questions. This is a unique opportunity to get all of your
questions answered and clear up any concerns you may have regarding mobile
home property codes.
