Don't Play Leapfrog with a UnicornIt’s really frustrating when a real estate investor calls to ask for advice, then argues when he doesn’t like the advice I give – especially when the advice is square dead-on.

Last July, an investor – we’ll call him David – called asking about a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity that he had been told about.  It was a three-bedroom, one-bath home in downtown Atlanta that he could buy for just over $14,000, rehab quickly for $7,000, then sell for $75,000 to pocket a cool $54,000 profit.  Needless to say the investor was hot to trot.

A wholesaler brought David the deal.  A wholesaler is someone who finds a deal, gets it under contract, and then assigns (sells) the contract to an investor.  There are good and bad wholesalers out there… but this was one of the bad ones. Read More→

The Mobile Real Estate Rockstars Group
Is the “Meeting-Before-the-Meeting”

This Month with Don DeRosa
(with FREE WINE TASTING!)

Don DeRosaPlease join us at our very first “Mobile Real Estate Rockstars Group” (Rockstars) hosted by Don DeRosa at our “Meeting-Before-The-Meeting” on May 7th at 3:00 PM in a private meeting room at Total Wine & More located at 124 Perimeter Center W (see map). The Mobile Real Estate Rockstar Group is an educational and networking group for investors who want to leverage mobile technology (think: iPad, smartphone, Tablet and other mobile devices) to become more competitive, profitable investors. Instead of playing Angry Birds, this group shares the latest apps, tips and techniques to use the information they need, right now, at their fingertips, from anywhere.

At the inaugural meeting of the Rockstars, Don will cover the basics of the iPad and iPhone and how he uses them in his investing business, from taking a lead to evaluating the deal, he’ll show the apps he uses to see if it’s a deal worth looking at, so he doesn’t waste his time driving out to a deal he’ll never buy. Then he’ll ask the group to share their favorite apps for doing business, or ones they just can’t live without. With over 11.8 million iPads and 35.1 million iPhones, plus millions of smart phones and other devices like the Amazon Kindle taking ‘fire,’ you’d better know how to use mobile devices in your business, or you’ll be left behind.

Total Wine & MoreAt 5:00 PM, Total Wine & More will be offering a complimentary wine tasting to all those who attend our meeting and wish to participate. There is NO CHARGE to attend this meeting or the wine tasting for Atlanta REIA Members and guests. Thanks Total Wine & More!
