Dear Washington Landlord, Manager, or Vendor:

Thank you for considering membership in Olympic Rental Association, registered as a
non-profit organization with the State of Washington and the IRS. Our annual schedule
includes quarterly dinner meetings in Olympia, Tacoma, Federal Way/Sea Tac, Aberdeen, 
Bellevue/Redmond, Everett, West Seattle/Ballard, Spokane, and Ellensburg

ORA currently has 4200 members throughout Washington including Snohomish, King, Pierce,
Spokane, Thurston, and Kittitas counties.  This allows for a good exchange in landlord information and
vendor outlets.  ORA also hosts annual vacation seminars in Hawaii or Mexico, along with
annual local conferences in June and December.  January through March finds ORA people very busy
working in Olympia with the legislature furthering good laws (and fighting bad laws)
for landlords and property managers.

ORA's new-membership kit includes a complete set of forms, laws and other management aides.
ORA also provides a vacation watch option for members. By 24-hour toll-free telephone, we
provide oversight of your rentals and resolve any emergencies while you are out of town at a
minimal cost of only $5.00 per unit for a 2-week period (less for larger complexes). ORA
vendors also provide credit reports to members for only $10.00 each (or 17.50 for 
combination reports that include credit, eviction, criminal and civil backgrounds).

One of ORA's most popular benefits is the option for members to call anytime on our
toll-free number for help or ideas, such as eviction strategies, marketing tips, maintenance
options, etc.  Call 1-888-753-9150. It's also very helpful to come to meetings and network
for yourself as to what other landlords and managers are doing.

Our quarterly newsletter includes write-ups on all our meeting programs, so members get the
informational benefits of all ORA meetings. We also list several dozen commercial vendors
that service the landlord industry including screening, legal, maintenance, accounting,
collections, financial, banking, etc.  Of special note, ORA members have the option to attend
any meeting of their choosing, at any time!  We also keep members up-to-date on changes to
laws affecting landlords, along with new ideas, programs and services for the landlord
community.

We hope you continue to like what you see and perhaps choose to participate by either coming
to a meeting, stopping by our office in Olympia, or calling us anytime for help, as a new
member.

If you would like to hear more about ORA including signing up for tenant screening and our
other services, how to use a particular form or the latest landlord law, or arrange to have your business listed under
our "Commercial Associates" listing, please call toll-free 1-888-753-9150 anytime!

Thanks again for your consideration.
