Onsite PropertyPlease join us on Tuesday, February 4th at NOON for the Atlanta REIA Onsite Renovation Group (ORG) to learn all about finding, funding, fixing and flipping houses for big profits right here in the metro Atlanta area.

This month’s meeting will be held at 44 Lethea St SE, Atlanta, GA. This property is being managed by Ty Jackson and Chrissy Griffin. The property was purchased from a wholesaler and had already undergone some renovations.

The original owner was an out-of-state investor and was unable to finish the rehab. The original floor plan was a 3 bedroom, 3 bath home with an open floor plan. Also, the front porch had been closed in to add a little additional square footage. The exterior was quite ugly and looked like a modular home.

During the rehab, Chrissy and Ty re-did the exterior, opened back up the front porch and move the front door from the side of the house to the front. They also completely renovated the interior. Maria Rosenswike is staging the home this weekend and the house will be ready to view for Onsite.

Come join us to see the finished rehab and to learn about many of the challenges this home had during the rehab process. RSVP Now!

The Number 1 Skill Needed To Have More Success in Business & Life!
with Malhar Bhagat
Atlanta REIA Members Can Attend at No Charge.
Guests Pay $15 Online or $20 at the Door. RSVP Now!

Malhar BhagatJoin us at the Beginning Investors Group (BIG) on Monday, January 20th at 6:30PM at the Hudson Grille in Sandy Springs located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs with our special guest speaker, Malhar Bhagat, who will be discussing “The Number 1 Skill Needed To Have More Success in Business & Life!”

Real estate is full of technical information. What’s the best investing strategy? How do you structure a profitable deal? Where do you raise capital? How do you hire the best contractors? How do you negotiate a win-win deal to ensure everyone is happy?

But, at the end of the day, there is one skill that is fundamental to master to ensure that all of the rest of these questions are answered with ease. It is the one skill that will get you more deals this year, and create better relationships with buyers, sellers, lenders and contractors.

In fact, Warren Buffet was asked what is one piece of advice he would give to budding graduates and his answer was “The one easy way to become worth 50 percent more than you are now — at least — is to hone your _____________.”

Are you curious what this one skill is? Do you want to learn how to hone it better? Then, you don’t want to miss this event! Make sure to attend B.I.G. on January 20, 2020 at Hudson Grille in Sandy Springs!

During the Presentation, Malhar will discuss…

  • The top presuppositions of NLP
  • How to align your Goal Setting Mind with the Goal Getting Mind
  • How to communicate with others using their communication style
  • Behaviors drive Results, but what Drives Behavior?
  • BONUS: A free webinar to continue developing your skills!

DO NOT MISS THIS EVENT! It could be the difference between getting your first or next deal and having a banner year or another year of average results… YOUR CHOICE! Make the right one… RSVP Now and Join us at at the Beginning Investors Group (BIG)!

Malhar Bhagat & Danielle JasminePlease join us on Tuesday, January 21st at NOON for the Atlanta REIA Onsite Renovation Group (ORG) to learn all about finding, funding, fixing and flipping houses (or holding) for big profits right here in the metro Atlanta area.

This month’s meeting will be held at Malhar Bhagat & Danielle Jasmine’s newly finished rehab located at 575 Connally St SE, Atlanta GA.

Onsite PropertyWhen Malhar and Danielle purchased the property, it was a poorly functioning 4 bedroom, 3 bath home. It looked like it was in MUCH BETTER condition than it actually was. The property had a huge water drainage problem because a previous owner had dug a ditch around the entire home which caused water to collect after EVERY rain. At times, there were as much as 9 inches of water in the entire crawl space.

Onsite PropertyNow, Malhar and Danielle have brought it back to its former glory with a stunning renovation. This property was LIFTED, (yes, lifted), moved and a new foundation was built, a new floor system and had about 95% new framing installed throughout.

In addition, all of the systems in the house are new, including a new roof and new siding! This home’s elevation was increased by over 4 feet and now water is moved away from the property.

This labor of love now shines as one of the area’s NICEST homes and the quality of work is impeccable! You’re GOING to WANT to come see this one and hear valuable lessons learned!

Making Money Without Making Money! The Wealth Building Magic of Rental Real Estate.

Guests Can RSVP Online Now for $20 or Pay $25 at the Door.

Roger Herring43% or MORE! That’s how much of YOUR INCOME you could give back to the government! Once you have MADE the money, wouldn’t it be great to KEEP IT? There’s a way and it is perfect for you!

You got into real estate because it is big money and awesome tax breaks. Then you go to your accountant at tax time and you find out you owe a whole pile of money! What happened to the tax breaks? They are plenty of tax breaks for real estate, but you don’t qualify because you’re in the wrong kind of real estate or only doing real estate one way.

When people think of real estate investment, they’re often thinking about flipping or wholesaling property. After all its fast and its sexy. The problem is these activities generate ordinary income, the most taxed income there is! How do you shelter it? The answer is traditional rental properties!

It is no secret that most investors have built real long-term wealth using traditional rentals. Why does it work? Because rentals have extremely favorable tax treatment: We get to reduce income now. We get preferential treatment on sales. We can even defer our gains indefinitely.

Come to the Atlanta REIA Main Meeting on Monday, January 13th and let me show you why I have clients that have PAID NO TAX in over 10 years! I call it “Making Money Without Making Money.”

Join me at Atlanta REIA and you will learn:

  • The Power of the IRS Designation Real Estate Professional
  • The Phantom Loss: What it is and how we create it
  • Depreciation Strategy: The landlord’s best friend
  • Cost Segregation Strategies
  • Using 1031 exchanges
  • Other People’s Money-Correctly using leverage

It’s your MONEY. Come out on Monday, January 13th from 5PM to 9PM at the Atlanta REIA Monthly Meeting at 3125 Presidential Pkwy, Atlanta, GA and let me show you how to protect it from the TAXMAN!

Shark Tank is currently has no cover charge for Atlanta REIA Members and Guests and is Hosted by Dustin Griffin.

WHOLESALERS, bring your deals and pitch them to the Sharks and our to attendees who are ready to put your deals under contract on the spot! Click here for more information on How to Submit Your Deals to the Sharks.

We can only pitch a limited number of deals to the Sharks, so the deals that don’t get pitched to the Sharks can be pitched during the “Rapid Fire, Deal Pitch Fest” after the conclusion of the Shark Tank panel.

Be sure to bring your contracts and plenty of business cards and flyers for our flyer table and enough for anyone who wants one. You can post your properties to our Atlanta Shark Tank Facebook Group and other Facebook Groups as well throughout the month.

INVESTORS, if you’re looking for a deal to purchase to fix and flip or to buy and hold, come prepared to write contracts and put down any necessary earnest money deposits. There will be plenty of deals being pitched to the Sharks and during the “Rapid Fire, Deal Pitch Fest”. If a deal is not already taken, all you have to to is decide if it is a “Deal” or “No Deal” and take action!

VENDORS, Reserve a Vendor Table for as little as $25, come check us out and and come prepared to meet lots of investors who are looking to do business with you. Vendor tables are cocktail tables that are available on a first come, first serve basis. Vendors will be setup in the “Game Room” at the Hudson Grille and be able to do Vendor Commercials in the “Dining Room” during the beginning of the meeting on a first come, first serve basis.

Non-Members & Guests who bring a real deal for the sharks, on a flyer, that they own or have under contract can attend at no charge. Otherwise, Non-Members and Guests pay $10 at the door.
