Mark & Anne LackeyAccess to money is a key component in the success of a real estate investor. The more access you have, the more opportunities that will be available to you. Come out this month to the Beginning Investors Group (BIG), where we are excited to have our good friends Mark and Anne Lackey as our special guest speakers. The Lackeys have raised close to a million dollars using a proven method that they will share with us. The meeting will take place on Monday, July 20th at 6:30PM at Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs.

Finding private money is a huge challenge for many investors. Banks are generally not too helpful to investors, especially full-time investors who don’t have high earning full time J-O-Bs. Many sellers want cash, which leaves you, the investor, stuck trying to make deals work without access to the funds. By implementing the steps that the Lackey’s will teach you, your business will be able to take off to new heights!

Mark and Anne will show you…

  • 5 ways to fund your deals without using your own cash or credit
  • How to find private money lenders
  • A proven strategy to ask for the funds you need for your deals
  • An overview of all the necessary paperwork you will need

Come prepared to roll up your sleeves and start working on your private money pitch. This will be great meeting where you will gain confidence in your ability to find and secure private funds. Don’t miss it!

Mark and Anne Lackey are well known around Atlanta and across the nation as Real Estate Investors, Authors, Speakers and Educators as well as REALTORs. They coach and train hundreds of US and Canadians to a successful real estate career. Mark and Anne have written multiple Best Selling books and developed multiple Educational Programs and systems for many areas of Real Estate Investing.

Today, Mark and Anne control and manage over $3M in passive income producing residential properties, (aka rentals) in their own portfolio, and manage $23M of income producing properties for other investors. Each year they find, fix-up and flip multiple properties for profit and have transacted over $35M in real estate over the past 5 years alone. They operate multiple businesses and they do everything together.

See you at the meeting!

Frank IglesiasThe market is hot! But you probably already know, or have heard this. What does this mean for wholesalers?

Be excited but also be CAREFUL!!!

There are a lot of deals to be had however, hot does not always mean profitable. And it certainly does not mean that if you wholesale it, your buyer will win when they are done.

The LAST thing you want is for a buyer to not want to do business with you again because you sold them a dud. Yes, they must do their own due diligence, but so should you and do it well.

In this meeting, we will dive into numbers, numbers and more numbers of real deals that make sense for Wholesalers AND Buyers. The ARV still matters in this market!

We will dig into the following items:

  • Contractor labor costs
  • What kind of due diligence you should be doing in various parts of town.
  • The numbers almost every single wholesaler does not take into account on new construction deals.
  • How to present your Buyers solid numbers because you did your due diligence so that both sides see the big picture…
  • And much, much more!

And when you are armed with numbers, you disarm the hype allowing for solid decisions to be made.  Lastly, you keep your Buyers out of bad deals to the best of your ability which is key for repeat business!

Come join us as we talk numbers, ARV, and put the hype at bay by focusing on the numbers. The best money made is the confidence of a Buyer who believes in you and then gives you repeat business.

See you there!

My name is Frank Iglesias. Come join us on Tuesday, July 21st at 7PM at the Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs as we network, do what is now our standard deal analysis at every meeting and then we will dive into our topic for the evening!

Atlanta REIA NorthWe are excited to announce that this month at the Atlanta REIA North monthly meeting, our special guest speaker will be Hurdis Broach from The Barrington Financial Group, Inc. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 15th at 6:30PM located at 1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Suite D, Buford, GA. . At the meeting, Hurdis will be teaching us about credit and how his company can help your potential buyers qualify for institutional financing in order to cash you out.

Where do you go to get a lease option buyer or an owner finance buyer qualified to get a conventional mortgage and cash you out? With the Mortgage Meltdown in the last few years, there are a huge number of folks who cannot currently qualify for a mortgage because of poor credit. These same people may be able to qualify in a few years with some help and guidance. Come hear from an expert in this arena as he discusses credit, how it impacts the marginal borrower, and how to resolve their issues. For more than 20 years, Hurdis has been working with lenders and attorneys to help their clients understand and improve their credit issues.

Founded in 1992 and incorporated in 1997, The Barrington Financial Group, Inc is a mortgage consulting company that specializes in assisting banking and mortgage lending institutions with their prospective home buyers who are having difficulty in qualifying for a mortgage. With over 30 years of experience in the banking, mortgage, collection, and credit industry, they have assisted well over 3,000 clients with obtaining their mortgages over the past 23 years.

The Atlanta REIA North meeting is held on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 6:30PM at 1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Suite D, Buford, GA..

Atlanta REIA NorthWe are excited to announce that this month at the Atlanta REIA North monthly meeting, our special guest speaker will be Hurdis Broach from The Barrington Financial Group, Inc. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 17th at 6:30PM located at 1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Suite D, Buford, GA. At the meeting, Hurdis will be teaching us about credit and how his company can help your potential buyers qualify for institutional financing in order to cash you out.

Where do you go to get a lease option buyer or an owner finance buyer qualified to get a conventional mortgage and cash you out? With the Mortgage Meltdown in the last few years, there are a huge number of folks who cannot currently qualify for a mortgage because of poor credit. These same people may be able to qualify in a few years with some help and guidance. Come hear from an expert in this arena as he discusses credit, how it impacts the marginal borrower, and how to resolve their issues. For more than 20 years, Hurtis has been working with lenders and attorneys to help their clients understand and improve their credit issues.

Founded in 1992 and incorporated in 1997, The Barrington Financial Group, Inc is a mortgage consulting company that specializes in assisting banking and mortgage lending institutions with their prospective home buyers who are having difficulty in qualifying for a mortgage. With over 30 years of experience in the banking, mortgage, collection, and credit industry, they have assisted well over 3,000 clients with obtaining their mortgages over the past 23 years.

The Atlanta REIA North meeting is held on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 6:30PM at 1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Suite D, Buford, GA.. Atlanta REIA members can attend this meeting for FREE and guests and non-members can pay just $10 at the door OR pre-register online for only $5!

Joey EnglishAre you sick and tired of working your fingers to the bone, only to tell your family, “No we can’t afford this or that?” Are your children or grandchildren being raised by strangers in a daycare, because both parents work just trying to keep your heads above water or trying to get the things that you and your family want and deserve? Are you tired of your J-O-B (Just Over Broke) eating up precious hours of your life, rather than doing something that you enjoy and making real money so you can get your life back? Have you tried investing “your way” and just can’t seem to get where you want to go?

If any or all of those sound like you, then you have to be at the June WILD WILD WEST EVENT on Monday, June 22nd at 6:30pm at the Cherokee Cattle Company located at 2710 Canton Rd in Marietta, to hear Joey English, who has created a Perpetual Money Machine. Joey is an expert on building a money machine from the ground up!

At the meeting you will learn…

  • How Joey and his wife Ashley got started in 2010 and what they did step by step to create a Perpetual Money Machine
  • How you can have the Freedom to do the things in life that matter most to you. Joey’s wife Ashley is now able to be at home with their two children. She has been able to be with them since they were born, and Joey still manages to have “free time” to be a father and a husband.
  • The systems Joey has in place, to be able to do over 50+ deals and how he manages at least 7 of his own rehabs/flips each year and does it efficiently.
  • How to leave a legacy for your loved ones, using Joey’s e-z to use techniques
  • And Much, Much, More!
