A message about our picnic from Leon Griggs Jr., President Freedom First REIA.

Hello,

I would like to take a few minutes to discuss the 2020 Freedom First REIA, Ltd picnic.

Over the years we have provided an annual picnic with the hope that Freedom First members would use this event as an opportunity to meet, greet and even do a few real estate deals. Clearly this year has been a challenge with COVID-19 changing almost everything we do. I’m not sure there’s an overall without a doubt right decision regarding having the picnic or not. That said, there needs to be a personal decision regarding what the right decision for you – individually. We decided to have the picnic recognizing it’s your person decision. So, the good news is we are having the picnic this year. The bad news is COVID-19 forces us to operate differently.

We must follow all New York State COVID-19 requirements. These requirements include, but are not limited to:

• Social distancing.
• Masks are required (not optional).
• We will measure the temperature of each attendee. Any temperature higher than 100.3^o  (CDC guideline) will not be allowed into the picnic.
• To facilitate social distancing, we ask each attendee to bring a lawn chair and mask.
• Everyone must be registered for the picnic by Sunday August 9, 2020.
• We would ask individuals with underlaying health concerns* not attend this year’s picnic.
• No one should be at the picnic if they travelled from any New York State travel restricted state after July 30, 2020. These include:

Alaska, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin, plus Puerto Rico. 

Even though the atmosphere under which we are required to operate is restrictive, I feel we can still have a great time together.

Thanks for your help,

Leon Griggs, Jr. President, Freedom First REIA, Ltd.

Thanks

Welcome to Freedom First REIA!

Whether you are a novice or a seasoned investor, we strive to provide a forum that will lead to your personal and financial growth. Real estate is one of the most powerful tools to create and accumulate wealth. It is not a get rich quick scheme. Successful investors know that success can not happen alone. The key to true success is the right combination of networking, knowledge and action. This is what Freedom First fosters.

Our mission is to help others truly become free in many facets of their life and then create wealth through various real estate investment strategies. While real estate will be the prime avenue it certainly will not be the only one. Our REIA’s pure focus is to empower those looking for true freedom.

Freedom to:

• Live the life you only dreamed of
• Provide for those you care about, create “Generational Wealth”
• Be able to give back in the way that you want to
• Have the time, money and resources to live a successful life – as you define it
• Discover your passion
• Create a real estate business that helps all you come in contact with
• Evaluate and exercise your options based on a decision of choice

Freedom From:

• Financial dependence
• The fear of not being able to provide for you, your family and their futures
• Negative mindset, and stress caused by a lack of control over your own destiny
• The need to exchange time for money
• Feeling helpless, powerless and being “Just Over Broke”
