Texas REIAs is the largest group of Real Estate Investment Associations in the Great State of Texas.
Since 2002, we’ve been holding real estate networking club meetings with the following mission in mind:
Tools – Training – Tribe
We want to be your one-stop-shop for providing the tools, training and tribe that every investor needs to be successful.
Texas REIAs is owned and operated by Shenoah Grove and her husband, Phill Grove.
Shenoah Grove is an Investor, a Realtor and Real Estate Broker in Texas (license #518223). Together, Phill & Shenoah, have been actively investing in real estate and helping homeowners with creative property solutions since 2003.
During that time, they’ve participated in more than 1,200 real estate transactions totaling more than $200,000,000.00 (and hold an 8 figure real estate portfolio) while using creative real estate investing strategies designed to help the difficult situations facing homeowners.
Shenoah holds an MBA from Rice University and a BA from the University of Texas at Austin. Phill holds a BS in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering from George Washington University. Together they form the leadership of Texas REIAs.
Tools – To be a successful real estate investor you have to have access to the right tools and the tools are always changing. We stay cutting edge in our business practices and tools so we can help owners, help buyers and win in every market – no matter what challenges the market puts in our path. Our objective is to find and use tools that put us in front of sellers first, give
us the best opportunity to find the owner and contact them in a technologically sophisticated manner that takes the effort out of investing. Plus we have tools to help us analyze deals quickly and come up with creative offers that work based on each unique situation. The game changing tools are always improving and so is Texas REIAs.
Training – We are huge believers in the power of training and continuous education. We have successfully invested in every part of the market cycle and we are “full cycle” investors (investing through both good times and bad). To be able to survive and thrive regardless of whether the market was up or down, we had to adopt an attitude of “Adapt, Mutate, Migrate or Die”
- We have continually and consistently adapted and mutated in our business by having a “strategy to make money every time the phone rings” - what that means for us is we can help people regardless of their equity position AND make money while doing it.
- We have honed our strategies and adjust them based on where we are and where we are going in the market cycle. Like Wayne Gretzky says “Skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been”.
- We have honed our negotiating skills using the training of Chris Voss (Never Split the Difference), Chase Hughes (The Six-Minute X-ray), Alex Hormozi ($100M Offers), William Dry (Getting Past No), Roger Fisher (Getting to Yes), Phil M Jones (Exactly What to Say) and others and adapted it for the real estate situations we encounter daily - developing scripts that overcome objections and asking questions that uncover the Black Swan.
- We have developed ways to purchase property subject-to the existing mortgage to take advantage of low interest rates and turn low profit deals into high profit deals, while raising sellers credit scores and speeding up the time to close while keeping the seller protected.
In real estate and in life, we believe that if you are not growing and learning then you are dying. We love what we do and we are students of the market and are committed to that philosophy. As former Engineers, Computer Science geeks and MBA’s, “The art of the deal is our passion” and real estate allows us to live it out, in a profitable and sustainable way, every day.
Tribe – When we first started investing we attended the local REIA meeting. That’s where we got our first deal, our first lender and the tribal knowledge we needed to take it to the finish line and profit.
Without this community, we might still be working a 9-5 job making someone else rich. At this point in our careers, success, income and wealth, we don’t need to help others as part of the REIA, but we feel the need to pay it back by continuing to pay it forward to our members.
We know we can’t individually help every owner on our own, but we know we can give our members the tools and knowledge that will extend our reach beyond what we can do on our own. That’s powerful. And it’s our life work in action every day.
The goal of our tribe is to make sure people can sell their houses with dignity and equity and our members can figure out win-win deals by using our 12 creative investing strategies. When we got in this business we saw the income and wealth building power real estate could bring. Then we saw the impact on the communities we served. Then we started teaching people and we saw the impact on other investor’s income and wealth and then on the communities they served. That’s purposeful. And it’s the legacy we leave as part of Texas REIAs.
