Author Aquatherm Industries, Inc. Names Reliable Solar of Melbourne, Florida Newest Master Dealer for its Solar Industries Solar Pool Heaters
(PRWEB) October 10, 2014
The United States’ largest manufacturer of solar thermal equipment, Aquatherm Industries, Inc., announced today it has named Reliable Solar Enterprises of Brevard, Inc. the newest Master Dealer of its original “flagship brand” of solar pool heaters, “Solar Industries.” Based in Melbourne, Florida, Reliable Solar has a 30-year track record of quality solar pool heater installations throughout Brevard County.
Aquatherm Industries, Inc. President and CEO Dave Sizelove, personally visited the couple to welcome them into the manufacturer’s exclusive Master Dealer Program. The program was started in 1993 as a way to recognize dealers who hold themselves to a higher standard of quality and customer service. Master Dealers receive a number of benefits from Aquatherm, including upgraded and supplemental product warranties, co-op advertising funds to use with the manufacturer’s various sales and marketing programs, and leads generated by Aquatherm within a Master Dealer’s market.
“Greg and Tricia consistently sell against a number of different brands of solar pool heaters in their highly competitive market,” says Sizelove. “Being named an exclusive Solar Industries Master Dealer gives them a competitive edge with the best product and warranty in the industry, along with the support of our nationwide network of Master Dealers.”
Greg and Tricia McTaggart, owners of Reliable Solar, pride themselves on doing the job right the first time, using only the best materials available. “One thing you’ll find in common with a lot of the products we sell and install is that they are made in the USA,” says Greg, who also functions as the company’s lead installer. “That’s no accident – we believe in supporting American Industry and purposely choose products from manufacturers who share our beliefs.”
According to Sizelove, doing business with customers who share in Aquatherm’s beliefs, like Reliable Solar, is a key contributor to the manufacturer’s success over its 25 years. “Our goal is to find customers who believe what we believe, and work together so we can all succeed,” says Sizelove. “We’re looking for people to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with us in pursuit of the same goal.”
In their thirty years of business, The McTaggarts have amassed a considerable customer base in their market, resulting in most new sales coming by way of referral from existing customers. In fact, the company’s customers love them so much, Greg and Tricia made their website URL http://www.ilovereob.com (I Love Reliable Enterprises of Brevard). On the company’s Yelp page, a customer named Sandy M. shows some of that love with a rave review, saying “I called Reliable for an estimate for a pool heater and was very impressed with the professionalism of office manager Tricia. The price they gave me was really fair compared to the other quotes I got – and Greg couldn’t have been nicer when he came to install. I recommend this company… they do all sorts of services I plan on using soon. Plus I’m all for family run businesses!”

Advanta IRA Hosts Lunch and Learn: Self-Directed IRAs and Private Lending Investments
Tampa, Florida (PRWEB) October 07, 2014
“Private lending transactions allow self-directed IRAs to perform the same actions a bank or other lending institution does in extending loans for mortgages, trust deeds, secured and unsecured notes, and even for things such as judgments and structured settlements,” says Jack Callahan, Managing Partner of Advanta IRA Services in Largo, Florida. A growing number of investors use these accounts to invest in in nearly any type of lending transaction they deem might prove to be potentially successful.
Self-directed IRAs allow account owners total and complete control in choosing their own investments in things they know and understand. Additionally, these accounts allow a myriad of alternative investments besides private lending options. Real estate, precious metals, oil, gas and timber options, foreign exchange and futures trading are just a few popular non-traditional assets used to build income for retirement. .
In private lending transactions, account owners determine the terms of the loan made by their plans—which is how the IRA makes money. The account owner fully vets and chooses the loan recipient, dictates the terms of the loan, and decides whether to provide a secured or unsecured loan. Secured loans are backed by collateral to protect from default. For example, if a note is extended for a mortgage and the borrower defaults, the IRA can take possession of the home. Unsecured loans typically are offered at a higher rate of interest in lieu of collateral. “Profit from private lending is largely gained through earnings on interest rates and this income flows directly into a self-directed IRA on a tax-free or tax-deferred basis,” says Callahan.
Private lending through a self-directed IRA offers benefits for the borrower, as well. The IRA can often provide funds to the borrower much faster, with more accommodating terms than traditional lending institutions.
Advanta IRA Services is holding this lunch and learn to educate investors on how to successfully use self-directed IRAs to invest in private loans. Investors of all levels are invited and encouraged to attend.
Topics to be discussed:
Various types of loans that Advanta IRA’s clients make using their retirement plans
The benefits that can come with private lending
Disqualified persons and the potential pitfalls of private lending
How an IRA can actually be the borrower on a transaction and non-recourse loans
Event: Lunch and Learn—Be the Bank Using a Self-Directed IRA
Date: October 10, 2014
Time: 12:00 – 1:30 pm EST
Location: 13191 Starkey Road, Ste. 9, Largo, FL 33773

Register: Before 5 pm on October 9th by contacting Larissa Greene by phone at (727) 581-9853 x 1140, or by emailing lgreene(at)advantairagroup(dot)com.

About Veterans on Wall Street:
In December 2010, in an unprecedented move, several of the world’s largest financial institutions launched Veterans on Wall Street (“VOWS”), a confederation of firms who are committed to help support, educate and recruit military veterans and their families as they transition in to the civilian workplace. By organizing ourselves, sharing best practices and, importantly, engaging our corporate and investing clients, VOWS strives to make a material difference in the experience of our veterans as they transition out of the military. In addition to our efforts to support charitable organizations focused on our transitioning military and their families, VOWS is committed to lowering the exceptionally high unemployment rate among our military veteran community. Through a combination of educational initiatives, mentoring, outreach to the military, employee affinity groups, and an annual conference, VOWS promotes career development, support, and retention of veterans throughout the global financial services industry. Central to the VOWS mission is the recognition that many of the skills veterans developed in the military–leadership, fast and accurate decision–making, operational focus, and the drive to accomplish a mission–have a direct application in the financial services industry. VOWS also recognizes that the cultural values our veterans have developed in the military—passion, drive, commitment, and teamwork—mesh with the corporate values sought after and practiced in financial services. VOWS works with military organizations, veterans groups, industry associations and vendors to build awareness and understanding of how these skills and cultural attributes make military veterans outstanding employees.
About the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation:
The Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation is committed to achieving lasting and meaningful change in our community through four main areas of focus: education, children’s health, veterans, and the arts. The Foundation places an emphasis on improving the lives of children through education reform and healthcare initiatives, providing help to our returning heroes with mental health and employment programs for veterans, and supporting the arts that inspire us all.
