19th Annual Advanced Strategies Conference on March 16 & 17, 2013
Posted on March 6, 2013 by
Co-sponsored by Atlanta REIA
Come see why prior attendees keep coming back to this conference. Each year we pick new topics and enhance prior topics that provide practical solutions to investor situations. Our topics for the 19th Annual Advanced Strategies Conference will be Income & Estate Tax changes, Title Law and Real Estate Options. This year promises to be better than ever. We have even invited special guest experts to cover some advanced concepts.
Each year we begin the conference with a detailed overview of the economic and political issues that will affect your investments and business transactions. This will include, but is not limited to:
- Washington Update of changes and opportunities in the tax law
- Avoiding the new 0.9% and 3.8% Medicare taxes
- Current State of the Market
- Political and Market Forecast
- What the new administration could mean for you and your investments
Title Law & Real Estate Options
Title is a legal term for a bundle of rights in a piece of property in which a party owns a legal and/or an equitable interest. These ownership rights may be separated and held by different parties. Ownership of a title is distinct from possession, a right that often accompanies ownership but is not necessarily sufficient to prove it. We will cover elements of title every real estate investor should know and more. A good knowledge of title can help you make deals that an uneducated investor would be afraid to touch.
For example, just a few of the topics we plan to cover in detail include:
- Different Ownership Forms
- Life Estate with Remainderman
- Reversionary Interests
- Who really owns your home?
- Lien theory vs. Title theory states
- Allodial Title
- Nominee Ownership
- Statute of Frauds
- Quiet Title
- Where does title come from?
- Inchoate rights
- Homestead
- Chain of Title
- Easements
- Adverse Possession
- & much more!
Plus, Pete Fortunato and Dyches will discuss a greatly underused tool of the real estate investor, the Option. An option is the right, but not the obligation, to buy at a predetermined price (the strike price) withing a specified period of time. Both the technical issues and numerous examples will be discussed.
- Options vs. Sales Contracts
- Income tax treatment
- Options in 1031 Exchanges
- Deal vs. Investor Options
- Calls & Puts
- Securing an Option
- Options associated with leases
- & much more!

Momma Said: Don’t Stand Too Close
Posted on March 5, 2013 byWe get lots of calls from real estate investors who want to go with me to see what it’s really like to knock on sellers’ doors. I got such a call a few weeks back. The investor flew in and we went door knocking.
Need to back up a minute. Tom (the investor) and I had a number of conversations before he flew in. He was having trouble doing deals on a regular basis. In addition, when he met with sellers, he didn’t feel he was creating any kind of lasting bond with them.
On the phone, Tom seemed like a really nice guy. Our conversations never dragged. When it came to real estate and creative deal structuring, he knew what he was talking about. Also, he was out there beating the bushes and seeing plenty of sellers – but for some reason, they just weren’t responding to him. I couldn’t understand the problem – that is, I couldn’t understand the problem UNTIL I met with Tom face-to-face. Read More→
