Russ HinerAtlanta REIA is excited to announce that Larry Harbolt will be the special guest speaker at our Main Monthly Meeting on Monday, January 4th at 5PM. The meeting will take place at Atlanta Unity located at 3597 Parkway Lane in Norcross, GA. Larry will be sharing his wealth of knowledge with us about structuring deals in ways that avoid using banks for financing at all costs.

Due to the much stricter qualifications banks are requiring their borrowers to adhere to today, it has become nearly impossible for many investors to get any type of institutional financing, especially those who have less than stellar credit and small cash reserves. This problem has, and will continue to eliminate a lot of investors from the business, especially those in the early years of their investing career.

How would you like to learn how to structure deals so that you will never need to beg for a loan from any lender ever again? Larry is going to share with you multiple ways to structure and finance the deals you do regardless of your financial situation. You can then use these strategies every day for the rest of your life, no matter how your personal situation may or may not change. By using these techniques, you can quickly become financially free by buying houses and doing deals over and over without ever having to take any money out of your own pocket or getting any type of a loan.

“I believe, as I have for many years, that the secret to every real estate investor’s success will be to use some sort of creative techniques and deal structures. Doing this is essential in today’s real estate market, even if you could qualify for an institutional loan. Why would you want to qualify for a loan when you don’t need to?” – Larry Harbolt

Once you learn how to buy houses without needing to get a loan at a bank you will always be able to do more deals and make more money in any real estate market! Larry will teach you how to…

  • Buy real estate profitably in any market or economic cycle.
  • Understand how to buy real estate when you have No Money and Not so Good Credit.
  • Create the terms that will make you cash today regardless of the current real estate environment.
  • Buy millions of dollars of real estate and never have one debt shown on your credit report or be personally liable for a penny owed.
  • Build multiple income streams, like the banks do, and acquire free assets without investing a dime out of your pocket.
  • Learn how to change the length of the loan months or years after the closing and make the seller ecstatic to do so, you both win.
  • Create huge discounts on your seller carry back financing with no negotiating needed when you plan to pay the sellers off. If you know how to do this up front, you can avoid having to deal with a flaky seller later.
  • Buy and Sell a property for the same price and still make a profit.
  • And much, much more!

Come out and see how easy it can be to get started doubling or tripling your current income and buy more houses using little to none of your own money. All this is happening at the Atlanta REIA main meeting on Monday, January 4th at 5PM at Atlanta Unity located at 3597 Parkway Lane in Norcross, GA.

As always, Atlanta REIA Members can attend the event at no charge and Non-Members can Register Online for $20 or pay $25.00 at the door. Be sure to bring your business cards and flyers and join us for an evening of real estate deals, vendors, networking, education and fun! See you there!

And then, Larry will be back on Saturday, January 9th where he will spend an entire day teaching you about how to structure your deals so you can avoid banks and still get paid! Reserve your seat today!

Don will teach you about the state-of-the-art tools and techniques you’ll use to evaluate deals and figure out how to make them work – so you can work less and spend more time where you want, when you want and with whom you want.

Some topics Don will be teaching about include:

  • Using Apps on your iPad or other mobile device to evaluate deals on the go
  • Creative Techniques such as Wrap Around Mortgages, Sandwich Lease Options, Subject-To, Seller Financing, and more
  • How to be a transaction engineer.
  • How to be a problem solver.
  • And so much more…

Ed BeckleyWe are excited to have one of the Great Legends of the Real Estate Seminar Investment industry, Ed Beckley, speaking at the Beginning Investors Group (BIG) on November 16th at 6:30PM at the Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs, GA. Ed became a millionaire by the time he was 30 years old; he has written 7 books including the best seller “No Down Payment Formulas”, he appeared on television for over 10 years in his show The Millionaire Maker and has taught over 350,000 people across the country.

Scott UlmerEd has teamed up with one of the most successful real estate investors in the nation over the last ten years, Scott Ulmer, who will also be joining us at the Beginning Investors Group. Scott bought his first home when he was 14 years old, and started investing full-time right after high school. Since then he has done over 1,500 real estate transactions, specializing in non-traditional, creative, no-money, no-credit style deals.

Using his years of experience, Scott pioneered a new and innovative approach to investing in which even the novice can use to build an immediate Cash Flow of $1,000 to $10,000 or more a month using his unique Lease-Purchase program that ANYONE at ANY level can start investing in real estate in today’s market with little money and no credit with this technique coined “ABLE” (Assembling Buyer Lease Estates).

A Buyer Lease Estate is a structured agreement they create with sellers where the seller agrees to accept payments towards the purchase of their home for a predetermined price, monthly payment and time frame. They then are able to offer that home for sale to folks who can afford to buy a home but cannot walk into a bank and qualify for a traditional mortgage today.

This platform is like nothing else you’ve seen out there. You may think you know about Lease-Purchases, but you will be blown away by the systems, processes, scripts and essential details that makeup this strategy. Not to mention the fact that these deals average $10,000.00 each.

At this training, you will learn:

  • How to find and qualify leads, and put sellers under contract using their one-of-a-kind script and approach.
  • How to overcome common seller objections and rebuttals.
  • Real deal examples, walking you through from A to Z, from contract to close.
  • Examples of the fool-proof and high-response marketing techniques we use every day, and how to handle the massive response.
  • How They Earn A Minimum Of $10,000 Per Deal And How You Can Too and much more!

You won’t want to miss how Scott and Ed show you how to develop immediate and massive cash flow in this new challenging real estate environment. We are looking forward to seeing you at the meeting!

Let's Make A DealThe “Let’s Make A Deal” group is a subgroup of the Atlanta REIA led by Lynn Overall and Don DeRosa that now meets on the 2nd Monday of each month at 6PM at the Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs, GA. The focus of the group is to take new investors through the entire process of repurposing distressed home. Each home is purchased by the group and is completed as a Joint Venture. An experienced rehab investor then leads the group through the rehab process. Risk of loss is mitigated through the use of a consistent system for rehabbing homes, and through the use of experienced contractors. Our goal is to purchase a new property at each of our meetings.

Lynn Overall and Don DeRosaDuring the meeting, we will identify a property, hard or private money lender, and a contractor. We will finance the deal using a participating money lender, all of whom attend the meetings. Do not leave your checkbooks at home because we buy properties at each meeting.

The sponsors of the “Let’s Make A Deal” group have successfully repurposed homes in California, Texas, Georgia, and Florida. If you are a new investor looking to be a participant in a home rehab project, then this is definitely the group for you. Please keep in mind that everyone who attends “Let’s Make A Deal” is required to participate. The minimum size of the investment will be determined by the purchase price of the home presented at the meeting.

Come on out and check out the meeting. We would love to have you join our team! We are looking forward to learning and earning with you!

Machelle RedmondWe are excited to announce that Managing Partner of the Redmond Law Group, Machelle Redmond Esq., will be our special guest speaker this month at the Mountain REIA monthly meeting. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 3rd at 6:30PM at the Golden Corral located at 2025 Market Place Blvd, Cumming, GA. During this presentation, Machelle will be giving us a briefing on the Dodd-Frank Act and how it applies to real estate investing.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Comprehensive Protection Act, or Dodd-Frank Act, Represents the most comprehensive financial regulatory reform measures taken since the great depression.

Whether you are a Wholesaler, a Flipper, a Buy and Hold Investor, a Lender or a consumer, Dodd- Frank will impact your real estate practices. Although the act is designed to “protect homeowners,” it will affect us all. Much about the Act is still not clear and the policies, etc. are still being formulated. As a result, there is much confusion and uncertainty within the investment community.

Machelle L. Redmond, Managing Partner of the Redmond Law Group, has been a resident of Atlanta since 1984. Ms. Redmond has practiced exclusively in the areas of real estate and business since 1998 and has been a featured speaker for numerous continuing education seminars for realtors, lenders and attorneys and has published several articles on real estate related matters for trade magazines and other publications.
