Atlanta REIA Main Meeting on June 4, 2012
Never Step Into a Bank Again!And Buy All the Houses You Will Ever Need to Become Independently Wealthy! with Special Guest, Larry Harbolt
Are You A New Investor Who Doesn’t Know Where To Start? Or, An Old Salt Who Can’t Find Deals – Or You Can’t Find Cheap Enough Money to Buy Properties?
The Truth is many investors only know one way to buy property… with Cash. And now that banks are not lending to just anyone, where do investors turn? The investor today is likely dead in the water unless they know how to Buy with Creative Owner Financing and learn how to Sell with Creative Owner Financing. Larry Harbolt has over 30-plus years of experience doing just that. That is why he has been called the Master at teaching how to buy houses with No Money and No Credit using Creative Owner Financing.
Larry will be with us at our Atlanta REIA Main Monthly Meeting on June 4th and again for a full-day Saturday Training Workshop on June 9th for what could prove to be a career changing and life altering event for you, your family and your business.
How would you like to be able to buy 3 to 6 properties a month without using your own credit or any real money? What would that do for your lifestyle if you could churn out 5, 10 to 25 houses a year making money – helping others get started? All it takes is the proper training and the dedication to get the job done. That is exactly what Larry will do for you. Larry is going to show you how to:
- Learn How to Wholesale at Lightning Speed = Pay off Debts & Stable Cash Flow!
- Learn How to Buy Properties Without Banks! = No Credit and No Money
- Learn How to Become Wealthy Owning Properties That Are Paid Off in 8.3 Years!

Right now is the best time in modern history to buy real estate.

At this workshop, you will learn:
- Buy real estate profitably in any market or economic cycle.
- Learn how to buy real estate when you have No money.
- Buy real estate when you have No good credit.
- Learn how to create the terms to make cash today.
- Learn how to overcome seller objections like a pro.
- Learn the right questions that will create Golden Deals.
- How to create extra profit out of thin air on most of your deals.
- Never have to beg for or apply for a loan again.
- How to buy and sell all the property you want and never use a bank.
- How to structure offers with no payments or interest and get the seller to gladly accept. This will drive your cash flow through the roof.
- Why you can buy millions of dollars in real estate and never have a debt show on your credit report or be personally liable for a penny.
- Build your income stream, like the banks have, acquire free assets, without investing a dime.

- Build an empire from monthly cash flow and cure negative cash flow – The secret only a handful of people know how to do.
- Big profits from the “deal after the deal”. All seller-financed deals have back end profit centers if structured properly, and will cost you a fortune not knowing them.
- How a few carefully chosen words you can easily master in minutes can potentially earn you big paydays when you’re ready to cash out your seller.

These days, with so much negative information out there pummeling us every day, it’s critical that we counterbalance all the doom and gloom news with twice as much positive information and stories.
For example, Kim and I spent this past week in Florida. One morning we went yard selling. This particular day, we came across a guy who was selling almost everything he owned. Turned out he was losing his home to foreclosure and had to be moved out in a couple of days.
The guy was so negative we had to stand a few extra steps back to ensure we didn’t catch his negative funk. He blamed his situation on the government, the banks, rich folks, the economy, BP Oil, Presidents Obama and Bush, etc. Never once did he take any responsibility for getting himself into his financial mess.

You’ve done great! You bought an investment property, did an outstanding rehab and listed it with your realtor. Then it happens: You get a written offer from a potential buyer. Now what?
Let’s first look at what’s normally done, then look at another way that may work better.
Your realtor emails you the offer that is usually lower – sometimes a lot lower – than your asking price. Also, the seller is regularly asked to pay a portion of the buyer’s closing costs. Lastly, you’re given two days to respond to the buyer’s offer. Read More→
“Real Estate Investing, In My Opinion, Is One of the Greatest Business Opportunities Available to Everyone, Regardless of the Investors Credit Score and Cash Reserves.”
When I started over 30 years ago I had neither good credit nor money to buy real estate. All I had was a burning desire to create money to care for my family and live a lifestyle I could only dream of at the time. At that time in my life it took all the money I could earn just to feed and clothe my 6 children. I’m sure many of you today, like myself back then, are unable to get a loan even if you try, but why let that stop you from participating in one of the greatest and most profitable businesses known to mankind. Did you know that more millionaires have been created from real estate than any other business?
Because I started with no money and not-so-good credit, I had to be creative structuring every deal I did, or I wouldn’t be able to buy any properties. As I look back, for me it was a blessing because it quickly taught me how to use what I had, which wasn’t much, to get what I wanted. Now, today as investors are finding it nearly impossible to find financing for the deals they do, it is essential for you to know that if any property you look at is not a foreclosure or Bank owned, every other property you look at will always fall into one of three categories. I will thoroughly explain on June 4th, 2012 when I speak at your Atlanta REIA Main Monthly Meeting. Once I learned about the 4 Pillars of real estate investing, it truly changed the way I did business from that day forward. Read More→
