34 Steps to Renovating
a Property!

with Ramon Tookes
Mon, October 28th at 6:30PM
Cherokee Cattle Company
2710 Canton Rd, Marietta, GA

No Charge for Atlanta REIA Members, Guests $10 at the Door.

Ramon TookesPlease be sure to join us at the Atlanta REIA West Meeting at 6:00pm on Monday, October 28th at The Cherokee Cattle Company located at 2710 Canton Rd in Marietta with Ramon Tookes who will be discussing “34 Steps to Renovating a Property!”

One of the primary fears of real estate investing, particularly fixing and flipping, is managing renovations. “How will I get it done? How will I not lose money? How do I know a good contractor from a not so good contractor?” These questions hold many investors back from fixing and flipping and this should not be the case!

In his presentation, Ramon Tookes, who is a seasoned investor with 24+ years experience, author, coach, trainer and wealth builder, will help you to overcome those fears by providing you with 34 steps to successfully renovate and build new construction properties.

Don’t get tripped up by missing or skipping a step or by having to find out what you didn’t know the hard way. Ramon has probably made or encountered every mistake possible, so take advantage of his wealth of knowledge, expertise, and learn from his mis-steps so that you can create a seamless system for your investing business!

Join Ramon at the Atlanta REIA West Meeting at 6:00pm on Monday, October 28th at The Cherokee Cattle Company located at 2710 Canton Rd in Marietta and learn the steps necessary to fix and flip like a pro!

Atlanta REIA Members can attend for no charge and Not-Yet Members for $10.00. Show up at 6:00 PM to eat and network before the meeting officially starts at 7:00 PM. Buying your own meal is optional but highly recommended and greatly appreciated since the Cherokee Cattle Company allows us to use their event room.

  • How to owner finance, lease purchase or rent properties for max profits
  • How to add 20% more profit to every deal and sell it in days not weeks

  • How to market your property for maximum exposure when everything else is sitting
  • How to renovate in a stale or declining market

Let’s face it. The wholesaling business isn’t as easy as we thought it would be, especially in a competitive market like Atlanta. However, we all want that freedom that a truly automated real estate business can can give us, so what do we do?

In Joe’s presentation, he’s going to cover how to structure your Real Estate Company so that you can build a business that runs without you and be well on your way to earning 7 figures like you’ve always dreamed.

Joe says “The first thing we’ll go over are the different stages of scaling your business. There are different actions you need to take at certain points of scaling your business. We’re going to cover what these stages are, how to know when to go to the next stage, as well as common roadblocks you’ll encounter at each stage.”

We’ll dive into the 3 departments of a Wholesaling business: Marketing, Acquisitions, and Dispositions. We’ll cover the key processes you need to implement within these departments to have an optimized operation. You should have a sophisticated Marketing plan every month so you can generate a ton of leads at low cost.

Next, you need to convert as many of those leads as possible into contracts, so we’ll cover ninja Sales tactics to close more deals and lead management to manage your leads better than ever.

Lastly, once you have more contracts I’ll teach you Dispositions hacks so you can increase your average deal size by 20-30%.”

RSVP NOW and you’ll leave the meeting with a ton of golden nuggets to implement and a well-rounded vision for your New Advanced, Automated Wholesaling Business!

Joe DillonOn Tuesday, October 15th at 6:30PM, our special guest speaker will be Joe Dillon who will be talking about Advanced Wholesaling – Part 2: How to Maximize Your Marketing Plan So You Always Have Consistent Lead Flow!”

Joe says, “Wholesaling is not a real estate business. It’s a Marketing business. Join me at Flipping Gwinnett and in my presentation, I’ll show you how you need to be planning your Marketing if you’re seriously looking to scale your business.

At the event, we’ll cover the 3 stages of Marketing: Planning, Implementation, Analysis. We’ll also dive into specific Marketing channels, what’s hot right now, and how best to optimize your Marketing dollars and get as many leads as possible flowing in on a steady, consistent basis.

I’ll cover…

  • Planning your Marketing on a Monthly basis
  • All the different Marketing channels and what’s hot right now
  • How to Analyze your Marketing so you know what works and what doesn’t
  • Tracking all of your numbers!

If you are a Wholesaler or Real Estate Investor doing 1 to 4 deals per month and you’re either stuck, you’ve plateaued, you’re inconsistent, or you simply want to have rapid growth and want to know the roadmap to scaling to 7-Figures, you do NOT want to miss this event because I’ll be laying the pathway out for you.

When you leave, you’ll have so much more clarity for where you are and what you need to do. I guarantee you can get 2-3 more deals per month JUST off of what I’ll show you. RSVP Now & Don’t miss it!

You might have heard the rumor that “Direct Mail is Dead!” There are a lot of opinions out there, right or wrong, on what is working and what is not when it comes to generating motivated seller leads.

Join us at the Atlanta REIA West Meeting if you wanna know “What Marketing is Working NOW!” according to our very own Frank Iglesias who is a local real estate expert, wholesaler, rehabber and builder.

Frank will discuss…

  • Why People Love to Talk to Strangers
    People value the one-on-one vs a piece of paper. How friendly interactions can increase your deal count.

  • Don’t Be a Social Media Stalker – How to Interact Effectively
    Do you catch yourself watching people’s stories and thinking to yourself that you like their posts but don’t like or comment? This hinders the start of many great business relationships.

  • Networking – Pay Attention! There is Power Right Under Your Nose
    How networking with Rockstars can make your profits soar.

  • Answers to your questions and more!
