  • Making Big Money With No Money Or Credit – Ron will show you where the big money is in real estate and how you can get it with NO money, credit or risk on your part.

  • Where To Get The Money To Buy Bank-Owned Deals– Since banks require cash to purchase their properties, Ron will show you where to get the cash to buy bank-owned homes that won’t come from other banks or require credit or qualification.
  • Purchasing a Beautiful New Home for Your Family – Ron will show you how you can purchase a new home for your family in the next 45 days and never fill out an application, apply for a loan, or put up a down payment.

Foreclosure & Short Sale Group
with Bob Massey

Bob MasseyOn January 7th at 3 PM, Bob Massey will be having his quarterly meeting at Total Wine & More located at 124 Perimeter Center W (see map). Bob will be giving a presentation you don’t want to miss! He is going to be going over the details of a $875,000 short sale he just closed that most investors would have abandoned months ago. Instead of giving up, he modified his strategies and ended up making more than if everything had gone according to the original plan! He is also going to be discussing mortgage fraud, securitization issues, and foreclosures. The banks have been defrauding homeowners for years, and we now have a way to use that to fight back against the banks and do some pretty incredible deals while helping underwater homeowners across the country.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to take an extremely successful real estate investor out to dinner?  What questions would you ask them?  What would you want to know?  What are you just dying to find out that will make a significant impact on your investing?  What is it that will help you make a lot more $$$$ in 2013?  What difference would that make for you in your business and your life?

Well guess what?  I’ve already arranged this opportunity FOR YOU, and it happens this coming Monday, December 17th at Wild Wild West Subgroup of Atlanta REIA! 

Listen up, folks, this is big– I got not one, not two, but THREE outstanding investors to accept my invitation to share with you on Monday, Dec. 17 at 6:30pm.  Our panel is made up of three of the most highly respected and successful investors right here in Hot’lanta!

If you answered “Yes” to any of these issues, be sure to attend the Atlanta REIA Meeting on November 5th and be part of the discussion! David will answer questions, brainstorm problems and force you to think about your rental business in new ways. He will share ideas about how to increase income, decrease expenses and generate more free time.

Here’s what a few local real estate experts have to say about David Tilney…

“If you are going to be successful in real estate investing, you need to have good landlording skills. David Tilney has the best landlording system around and is well worth learning, if you are a serious investor.” – Dyches Boddiford

David is a wonderful teacher… a real been-there-and-done-that landlording guy. He teaches like no one else. His ideas are unique. David will help you become a better, smarter, more successful landlord.” – Bill Cook

Bob MasseyBob Massey here, and I hope to see you this Monday, September 10th at 3pm for the Atlanta REIA Foreclosure Subgroup meeting. At this meeting I am going to be covering some critical information you need to be a successful investor in this crazy market.

We’re going to be talking about the foreclosure process, short sales, and beyond. We’ll explain both the foreclosure and short sale processes from top to bottom, including what strategies are working best today, and the key mistakes that will absolutely kill your deals.

We’re also going to be explaining the securitization racket that has defrauded our entire country. Not only will you learn more about the banking system than most attorneys and judges in the U.S., but you will learn how to use this information to do some incredible deals. Chances are you’re going to learn how the banks defrauded you on your mortgage!

I’m really looking forward to seeing you at the meeting Monday, September 10, at 3pm!

The Short Sale & Foreclosure Group (SSF), hosted by Bob Massey, will have it’s quarterly meeting on Monday, September 10th at 3 PM in a private meeting room at Total Wine & More located at 124 Perimeter Center W (see map).
