Announcement: March WREIA – Major Change Of Plans

Ted Thomas, the scheduled speaker for our March WREIA meeting,  has been a long time colleague in the real estate world.  We have known each other for a long time.  

We recently shared with each other in a conference call that we both had concerns about him traveling from Florida and asking our community to gather for our March WREIA meeting – just a few days away on March 23rd.  

His office and mine have agreed that we should postpone his guest appearance at WREIA until later in the year – after we all get a better handle on this virus situation.
While disappointed, we both agreed it was the right decision.  

Which led our office to discuss internally – “What do we do instead?”

We could cancel the meeting altogether, which we quickly disregarded – or we could go virtual.  

Virtual – as in our next WREIA meeting will be 100% online. 

You can attend WREIA in March from home, or work, your car, on your phone, laptop or desktop computer.  Basically, join us at the March WREIA meeting from anywhere you feel safe.  

We will have a very similar format to our regular WREIA meetings – although the meeting will be shorter, completely online (if you sign up, you will get a link to join us) and you will have a chance to ask questions.

So, what are we going to talk about and discuss at WREIA this month?  

The topic has changed to “How to Invest in Times Of Chaos”

I will be sharing what we have done in the past as we went through 9-11 and the 2008 financial crisis that ultimately led to the Great Recession. 

You are going to hear what myself and a few other DC area investors did right – and wrong – and also what we plan to do in the coming months when it comes to our personal business. 

For those of you who registered for the meeting with Ted, we will happily refund your purchase immediately upon request.  Or, you can stay signed up and we will send you details with the link to find us on the 23rd.  

We will have more details over the next few days.  

Stay tuned as we update our site and social media channels. 

More importantly, I hope to see you – online – on the 23rd. 

Stay safe and stay healthy, 

John Peterson
