The Ultimate Fast Track to Your
Business Success Workshop

A Full Day Workshop & Strategy Session
with Larry Harbolt on June 9th, 2012

Larry HarboltRight now is the best time in modern history to buy real estate. Join Larry Harbolt on Saturday, June 4, 2012, and he will share with you his secrets on how to make money in today’s real estate market. Larry will show you what you really need to know to buy real estate profitably with only $10 down, even if you have bad credit or are bankrupt!

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.
  • How to change the terms of the loan months or years after the closing and make the seller ecstatic to do so.
  • 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.

Come and join Larry on Saturday, June 9th, 2012 for The Ultimate Fast Track to Your Business Success Workshop. Bring a new pad and a couple sharp pencils because Larry promises you will leave with New Methods, Processes and Systems that are Efficient, Effective and WHEN YOU WILL Learn them can be measured by the NEW CASH in YOUR bank account.

Community Buying GroupBelow is a testimonial from Mark Mackie, an Atlanta REIA Member who just saved $700 this week, the very first time he used our new Atlanta REIA Community Buying Group Member Discounts at Sherwin Williams and Lowes. Mark saved enough money to pay for his Atlanta REIA Membership for 7 Years! Congratulations Mark, we hope you keep saving big!

To William (CBG Account Representative),  

THANK YOU for your help today getting me hooked up on short notice!  With your help and key info, I walked into my Sherwin Williams store, placed my order for 40 gallons of Superpaint needed for my latest rehab, and walked out with a paint bill at least $500 LESS than what I would have paid without your help!

To make it even better, I am now hooked up at Lowe’s with the commercial account, so I expect to save at least $200 this weekend on a tub and vanity for this rehab.  That’s $700 this week I have saved with the Community Buying Group program!

It’s official! You and CBG have won “Investor Support Group of the Month”!

Mark Mackie, Investor and Member of Atlanta REIA

Below is another Atlanta REIA Member testimonial

CBG’s Customer Service is outstanding, they went out of their way to make sure I had my new Lowe’s Account set up in less than 24 hours for purchases I needed next day. I saved $100 my first week at Lowe’s. Best of all it didn’t cost me anything to join Community Buying Group; it was included in my Atlanta REIA Membership.

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?

Larry HarboltThe 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!
  • Learn How to Create Non Recourse Financing and Never Gamble Again!
  • Learn How to Sell at Lightning Speed! Don’t Be a Puppet to a Bankers Whim!
  • Learn How to Become Wealthy and Be Done in 3-5 Years!
