Atlanta REIA Main Monthly Meeting
& Vendor Trade Show
April 6th @ Atlanta Unity, Norcross, GA
Learn How to ACT On or REACT To Any Deal
With Special Guest, Jon Iannotti

Atlanta REIA Members Can Attend at No Charge. This month,
Guests Can RSVP Online Now for $20 or Pay $25 at the Door.

Jon and Stephanie IannottiWe are excited to announce that Jon Iannotti will be our special guest trainer this month at Atlanta REIA on Monday, April 6th at 5PM at Atlanta Unity located at 3597 Parkway Lane in Norcross, GA. Jon will be teaching us about how his CATS can help YOU do more deals by giving you the tools needed to structure profitable transactions that others would normally pass on.

CATS?!?!… No, we are not referring to his kitty cats… Jon and his wife Stephanie have created a real estate system they call CATS (Complete Agreeable Terms System). The CATS system is currently helping ordinary, everyday investors become extraordinary investors by giving them the tools they need to do deals that 99% of other investors don’t even realize are deals. Deals that are upside down. Deals where the seller wants full price and all cash. Deals where the seller is behind on payments. All types of deals you might normally throw in the trash.

Knowledge is the key and what you don’t know about how to structure creative transactions can definitely hurt your wallet. Imagine knowing how to take a lead most other investors would toss away and turn it into a profitable deal that could make you thousands in a very, very short period of time!

During his 90 minute presentation, Jon will teach you how to…

  • Make money without using your own credit, money or contractors
  • Turn a dud of a deal into a profitable deal
  • What do do when a seller wants full retail and all cash
  • Profit from houses that are upside down
  • Do as many deals per month as you desire
  • Make a minimum of $5,000 per deal
  • Get the benefits of ownership without actually owning the house
  • Put your entire business on “Cruise Control”
  • All this and much, much more!

Jon and his wife Stephanie have over 30 years combined Real Estate investing and teaching experience. They have over 2000 creative deals under their belt and are considered one of the best in the industry. Jon and Stephanie created ACTS (Agreeable Contract Terms System) for when the seller says “Yes” to terms. They created REACT (Reverse Engineered Agreeable Contract Terms) when the seller says “No” to terms and wants full retail value and all cash. They have now combined these two systems into CATS (the Complete Agreeable Terms System) to have best of both worlds. Now they can make offers that have a high likelihood of being accepted on any of the leads that come across their desk and you can too!

Come spend 90 minutes with Jon at the Atlanta REIA Meeting on Monday, April 6th at 5PM where he will explain how to turn seemingly dead property leads into profitable deals. You certainly will not want to miss out on this career changing information! We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!

How to Buy & Sell Houses With Nothing But an iPad & a Cell Phone!
A Full Day Workshop with Don DeRosa
Sat, April 18th, 9AM-5PM

EVENT SOLD OUT. CALL 678-701-7160 to see if any seats become available.

Don DeRosaMost people only use their smartphones & tablets to talk, text, play games, and watch videos. But did you know that you can also use your iPhone or Android to successfully invest in Real Estate?

The real estate investing game can be confusing. There’s so much to learn, and things always seem to change very quickly. By the time you’ve found a possible deal, analyzed the comps, estimated the repairs, crunched the numbers, written up your offer and presented it to the seller, someone else has already come in and bought it while you were still moving in slow motion!

That’s exactly what was happening to Don. So he decided to do something about it! By combining his love of technology along with his knowledge & experience in real estate, Don began putting together something new and amazing. The result?

The World’s First Paperless, Wireless, Mobile, Lightning-Fast Real Estate Investing System!

Imagine This: You’ve found a deal. You’re at the seller’s house, and everything seems to look good… but you suspect the sellers might have an appointment with your competition later. You need to lock this deal down NOW so you don’t lose it. NO problem! You smile as you pull out your iPad, tap a few apps, run a few numbers, and… BAM!

In just a few moments, you’ve run the comps, estimated the repairs, made your offer to the seller, gotten them to sign the contract, then submitted that contract to your title company, your attorney, and the seller… All BEFORE leaving their house!

Best of all, it was not only easy but FUN to do it all that way!

  • Do you think that might help you to buy a few more houses this year?
  • Do you think that might help you stand apart from your competitors?
  • Can you see how having that power might help make your life easier?

What You’ll Learn…

  • How to find leads on your cell phone/iPad
  • How to easily run your business from the palm of your hand!
  • How to Buy & Sell Houses from Anywhere by Using Technology
  • How to Automate all the parts of the business that suck up your time (you hate these anyway)
  • Killer negotiation tactics that will put more cash in your pocket on almost every deal.
  • And a LOT More!!

Be sure to bring your tablet, smartphone or notebook!

Jon & Stephanie Iannotti

Posted on March 24, 2015 by

Jon & Stephanie IannottiJon & Stephanie Iannotti have been business leaders since 2000. With over 30 years combined experience in Real Estate Investing/Teaching, and Mentoring and over 1900 creative deals under their belts, they are considered one of the best in the industry. They have also come up with some amazing ways to structure deals that are cutting edge. They have done many deals with their student partners using these state of the art techniques which are now being taught across the country and internationally. They are the creators of ACT (Agreeable Contract Terms). This program and has totally changed many investors’ lives with the teachings and techniques. Then in 2012, due to even more changes in the Real Estate Market, the Iannotti’s came up with another System called REACT (Reverse Engineered Assignment of Contract Terms). REACT is now taking the Real Estate Investing world by storm as well as their most recent program CATS (Complete Agreeable Terms System), which was just released in October of 2014.  

Jon and Stephanie have trained with and worked with some of the biggest names in Real Estate Investing. To name a few, Ron LeGrand, Robin Thompson, Lee Phillips, Al Aiello, Ted Thomas, and many others. Not only have they mentored hundreds of their own students, they have also mentored hundreds of Ron LeGrand’s real estate students.

Seeing a great need for another Real Estate Investing Association in the Southwest Florida Region to help educate and train Real Estate Investors, Jon & Stephanie approached some of their associates and decided to form the Florida Gulf Coast Real Estate Investing Alliance. They are looking forward to continuing to bring knowledge and training to as many Investors as possible and are always continuing to keep their skills fine-tuned and cutting edge so that their knowledge can be passed to those that they associate with.   Their motto for Real Estate Investing….”Knowledge is key, Timing is crucial, Location is important and having a Mentor or Coach will keep you on the path to Success!” Read More→

Atlanta Area Wholesalers Group
Meets Tuesday, March 17th at 7PM
Hudson Grille, 6317 Roswell Rd, Sandy Springs, GA

Leveraging Virtual Assistants to
Grow Your Wholesaling Business!

Frank IglesiasVirtual Assistants…

So often spoken about…

So often misunderstood…

So often they just don’t work out as well as we’ve heard they would…

Life on the beach with your VAs doing it all… If it was only that simple!

We are talking the wholesaling process from A-Z and how VAs fit in to that plan. And one hint… they CAN do more than you think so you can quit trying to do everything yourself all the time. I am amazed at how many investors still do too many “minimum wage activities” in their business. VAs can be a powerful asset to your business if you use them the right way.

My name is Frank Iglesias. Come join us on Tuesday, March 17th at 7PM at the Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs as we network, do what is now our standard deal analysis at every meeting and then we will dive into this often talked about and usually misunderstood subject!

Atlanta Area WholesalersThis Atlanta Area Wholesalers group is primarily for wholesalers who are serious about the business and not just “trying” Real Estate out. Frank started this group to work with other wholesalers who are serious about building their business using the utmost of honesty and integrity. We are looking forward to exploring how we can grow together in our local market. We hope you will join us!

Frank will take us through the process of deciding if a deal makes dollars and sense. If you bring bad deals to cash buyers more than a time or two, they are not likely to take you seriously nor consider your deals in the future.

Frank leads the Atlanta Area Wholesalers Group that meets on the 3rd Tuesday of each month and often will spend an entire evening analyzing potential wholesale deals. This month at the Atlanta REIA North meeting we’re going to do the same thing, so BRING YOUR DEALS!!!

You will learn…

  • Is there enough money in the deal to wholesale it?
  • How do I analyze a deal so that it meets my cash buyer’s purchase criteria?
  • What should I say about repair costs?
  • Is this property in location where investors are willing to buy and hold or fix and flip?
  • Can I sell this to a rehabber?
  • Is this a property for a buy and hold investor?
  • And much, much more!

Frank Iglesias will be analyzing actual deals at the Atlanta REIA North Meeting on Wednesday, March 18th from 6:30PM to 9:00PM at 1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Suite D, Buford, Georgia, so BRING YOUR DEALS and COME JOIN US!

Atlanta REIA Wild Wild West
Make Me An Offer I Can’t Refuse!
March 23rd with Bill Cook

Bill CookA common mistake made by real estate investors is to forget why they knock on a seller’s door. By “forget,” I don’t mean the seller answers the door and the investor stands there with a stupid, lost look on his face. I mean the investor doesn’t understand the basic objective of why he’s there at the seller’s home.

Do you know the ultimate objective of meeting with sellers? I mean, why are you there? What’s the purpose? Is it to be given a tour of the seller’s house? The reason an investor knocks on a seller’s door is to get to the kitchen table. You want to get to the kitchen table so you can ask Pete Fortunato’s famous question: “Why are you selling such a nice house like this?” The answer Pete’s question allows you to get a better understanding of what the seller wants and why he wants it. Having this information allows you to structure an offer around the seller’s unique wants and needs.

Come join us at the Atlanta REIA Wild Wild West Group on Monday, March 23rd at 6:30PM at Cherokee Cattle Company located at 2710 Canton Rd in Marietta, where Bill Cook will show YOU how to take the “what” and “why” you get from the seller at the kitchen table, and construct a win-win offer that helps the seller get from the uncomfortable situation they’re in, to a situation where they’re more comfortable and willing to do business with you.

Remember: If your offers don’t help your sellers to improve their current situation, they’ll turn your offer down flat! So remember the ultimate objective of why you meet with sellers: To make them a written offer!

If you want to know how to make offers that can’t be refused, you need to be at this event!

Join us and you will learn:

  • When Should You Make An Offer?
  • How Do You Make An Offer?
  • What Is The Difference Between A Contract And An Offer?
  • What Is The Best Kind Of Offer Paperwork To Use?
  • How You Can Make 5 Written Offers A Day.
  • And much, much more.

Bill and Kim Cook are a husband and wife real estate investing team. They live on a horse ranch in Adairsville GA, and have been investing in real estate since 1995. Their investment portfolio is made up of single-family rental homes, mobile homes, a small mobile home park, plus notes and options. They built their business simply by knocking on sellers doors and making offers the seller can’t refuse.

Onsite Renovation GroupThis Month on Tuesday, March 17th at NOON at 576 John Wesley Dobbs Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30312, the Onsite group will meet at a property where we are doing a new construction. We have seen this project at previous meetings when the house was in different phases of the construction. It is now very close to being finished. Sheetrock is done, doors, tile and trim are being installed. Join us Tuesday to see the amazing progress since we last met there two months ago. The project is in the Old Fourth Ward, which is a neighborhood that has suddenly become hot because of the proximity to the Beltline and the Ponce City Market development in the historic Sears building. Don’t miss this meeting that should prove to be very informative on some new topics we haven’t addressed before!

The Onsite Renovation Group, led by Aaron McGinnis of Craftbuilt Properties, is an educational and networking group that focuses on the acquisition, renovation and retail resale (fix and flip) of single family residential homes inside the I-285 perimeter and the in-town neighborhoods. The purpose of this group is to allow both new and experienced rehabbers and investors to meet, network and share knowledge and experience with “hands on” access to real property. The Onsite Renovation Group meets on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at NOON at an active renovation site, build site or rental property which will vary from month to month. There is currently no charge to attend these meeting.

Is It A Deal or No Deal? with Don DeRosa

Don DeRosaDo you think that investors find their deals through luck? With St. Patrick’s Day upon us and lots of symbols in the air about luck, there are some that really do believe that finding a deal is all about luck. Let Don DeRosa show you how to create that “luck” any day of the year. We will have time to examine two leads and determine if they are a deal or a dud. Please bring us leads that you are working on, we will randomly choose them, and let Don show you if there is in fact a pot of gold at the end of that rainbow!

I am excited about the meeting where I (Rock Shukoor) will be the presenter this coming Monday. I will be covering Mobile Marketing, the benefits of this media, the do’s, the don’ts, the tools, the resources I use and much, much more.

  • So what exactly is Mobile Marketing?
  • Isn’t it expensive and techy?
  • Does it work?
  • Is it hard?

Find out the answers to these questions at the meeting. Just so you know, I am a full time real estate investor and marketer and have been using mobile marketing for many years now. So what I will share with you is my own, first hand experience.

Mobile marketing is here to stay and will be around for a long time. I will share some stats on that which will amaze you. Mobile marketing is one of the easiest, fastest, and cheapest marketing there is. It is also growing faster than any other form of marketing.

You must join us at the meeting to see how it works, what tools I use, what kind of messages are being used and how to benefit from it quickly.
