A Full Day Workshop with Ron LeGrand & Jay Conner
Posted on April 14, 2013 byFor Real Estate Investors
with Ron LeGrand & Jay Conner
8AM – 4PM on April 27th, 2013
Crowne Plaza Atlanta-Airport, 1325 Virginia Ave in Atlanta, GA
Your seat for Ron LeGrand and Jay Conner’s Full Day Money Making Seminar on April 27th in Atlanta, GA is still available.
Ron will be spilling the beans on a brand new strategy…
It’s Hot! It’s New! It’s Very Profitable & Can Make You a
Lot of Money Very Quickly!
Ron will teach you how to use this new strategy to make $5,000 per house on overleveraged houses and how to easily do 4 per month.
Ron has a simple, new program called ACTS that’s almost instantly doubling the revenue of his students across the country. It’s an amazing, instant exit for sellers who are over financed and upside down, and it’s a huge public service for all those millions of buyers who can’t qualify for a loan in today’s trouble economy.
- You will never have to take title and own the home.
- You have no cost.
- About 55% of all FSBO’s (For Sale By Owners) fall into this new program.
- You can do three or four a month and make a minimum of $5,000 on each, and that’s no exaggeration… if anything, it’s an understatement. (Ron’s doing 2 a week in Jacksonville, FL)
When you see ACTS, you won’t sleep for three days when you see how quickly you can get a check with no loans, no banks, no repairs, no credit, no delays and very little work.
Want to Learn a Step-By-Step System for Unlimited Funding?
Jay will teach you “Where to Get the Money Now” to fund all of your real estate deals. He will teach you how he has built his buying and selling houses business into a seven figure income in less than 2 years on automatic using a simple, step-by-step system (that anyone can duplicate) which enabled him to raise $2,150,000 in less than 90 Days.
This workshop will open the door for you to receive an unlimited amount of money for your real estate deals so you can finally kiss goodbye these problems goodbye forever…
- Having no cash
- Missing out on deals you can’t afford
- Paying 20% down, high interest rates and points using hard money
We are expecting a full house, to register now so you can be guaranteed a spot!
Also, don’t forget, Ron and Jay will give you a pile of bonuses just for attending… See you there!

19th Annual Advanced Strategies Conference on March 16 & 17, 2013
Posted on March 6, 2013 byCo-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!
