Onsite PropertyPlease join us on Tuesday, September 2, 2019 at NOON for the Atlanta REIA Onsite Renovation Group (ORG) to learn all about finding, funding, fixing and flipping houses for big profits right here in the metro Atlanta area.

This month’s rehab project is located at 5674 Bradley Circle, Lithonia, GA. This rehab project, being managed by Chrissy Griffin, was a fire damaged, single family home that was originally built as a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1,273 sqft home built in 1988. However, the previous homeowners converted the garage to another bedroom and 1/2 bath before the fire. You may recall that we visited this property at Onsite January 15, 2019.

Onsite PropertyChrissy had the house gutted down to the studs and all the fire damaged wood replaced. The house has now been fully restored to a 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, 1800 sqft home.

The home has a stunning open floor plan. Everything is BRAND NEW from the roof to the foundation. The home is fully staged, listed on the market and already has received multiple offers.

RSVP NOW and come join us to see the finished, fire damaged rehab and hear many of the lessons learned during this project.

Vicky SchettiniMy name is Vicky Schettini. I am a single mom and in 2014 I was suffering from the empty nest syndrome. Living from paycheck to paycheck with only $25.00 to spare, needed the security of passive income. I set out my goals 4 and a half years ago and went after them. Things didn’t go as planned at all…

I decided to move across country from California to Jackson, MS to be closer to my only daughter. I ended up homeless in a new town where I didn’t know a single person and only had $500 to my name. I was on a mission to build my wealth through real estate investing and decided I must do “Whatever it Takes” (WIT) to succeed. This meant I had to get creative… very creative.

Today, I have 3 companies; I have over 100 single family homes and 5 multi-family complexes. I have done over 1000 transactions and over 72 million in Real Estate. The system I created not only enabled me to survive, but it helped me thrive faster than I ever imagined was possible!

In today’s market, with so much competition, you need to stand out to have your offer accepted. I had to be creative to not only stand out from others, but also to get the sellers accept my offers.

What I did then, I’m doing now, and it works! I am living proof of it. I have perfected the “The Art of the Negotiation” and I WANT TO TEACH YOU! You don’t have to re-invent it, just use my system that actively works to get owner financed deals!

Join me at the Atlanta REIA Main Meeting on Monday, September 9th from 5PM to 9PM at the 3125 Presidential Pkwy, Atlanta, GA and I will teach you my “Bullet Proof Offer!”

At the meeting, I will teach you how to:

  1. GET THE OFFER ACCEPTED
  2. Have seller want to Owner Finance you and close the deal within days
  3. Make it Simple
  4. One Page Offer is all it takes
  5. Write offers the Non-Selling Way

YOU CAN DO THIS! The way I do it is easy! You can start making money right away. Just do it! You can even do it part-time or full-time. JUST DO WIT (Whatever it Takes)!

RSVP NOW to attend the meeting and I will give you a BONUS GIFT called the “The Top 10 Real Estate Mistakes Report”. I look forward to seeing you there!

Roger Blankenship“Hi, my name is Roger Blankenship and I get more than 10,000 deals to review every month. In fact I get more than that most weeks! I’ve been at it awhile and I have a couple of methods that have taken years to develop but I also have a proven system that will also work for you – if you’re willing to work the system. In just a few months you could have 100 or more deals in your inbox every month.”

If you want MORE DEALS flowing through your pipeline, you don’t want to miss Roger’s special presentation at the Atlanta REIA West Real Estate Event at 6:00pm on Monday, August 26th at The Cherokee Cattle Company located at 2710 Canton Rd in Marietta.

  • At least three of Roger’s top nine sources for deal flow
  • How to involve your neighbors, friends, your kids, (if you want to) or even enlist total strangers to help you
  • How to build a network of wholesalers that will send you 20 deals a day
  • Roger’s secrets for tapping into the deals on the MLS
  • How to build a strong and productive relationship with a Realtor without wasting their time or yours
  • What websites to review
  • Which deal automations to buy

  • Get the deals coming to you
  • Sit at your computer and make offers
  • Estimate your rehab budget without leaving your office
  • Move faster than the competition
  • Make money in other cities

Roger says, “I’m not saying you can sit back and easy money is going to pour in. You’re going to have to lay the groundwork, develop your skills, and work the system. But if you do, it won’t be long before you have more deals coming than you have time to consider.”

Fantastic Deals And Where To Find Them EBookEveryone in attendance will have the opportunity to download Roger’s new eBook: “Fantastic Deals and Where to Find Them.” It’s coming soon to the Kindle Store, but it’s yours at no charge just for showing up!

From Homeless to Real Estate Mogul in 4 Years
How to Overcome Adversity Through Creative Real Estate Investing
with Vicky Schettini
Anyone Can Register to Attend at No Charge!
Register Online at BIGO.co!

Vicky SchettiniMy name is Vicky Schettini. I am a single mom and in 2014 I was suffering from the empty nest syndrome. Living from paycheck to paycheck with only $25.00 to spare, I decided to build my Legacy and Wealth. I was ready to start investing in buy and hold properties. Desperately wanting and needing the security of passive income, I decided to move across country from California to Jackson, MS to be closer to my only daughter.

Things didn’t go as planned and I ended up homeless in a new town where I didn’t know a single person. I was on a mission to build my wealth and decided to do whatever it takes to succeed. I quickly started networking with anyone and everyone possible. I was laughed at and hung up on many times but failure was not an option, so I pushed on.

I finally found an investor who was willing to sell me one of his houses with owner financing. I had to be very creative in ways to come up with the down payment since I was broke. I was finally able to move into my new home and I only had $500 to my name. I taught myself how to rehab the property and put back on the market and had it rented within 4 hours! I have been creative in acquiring more properties and duplicating what I had done ever since.

In just short 4 years, I have exceeded my own goals. I own over 100 single family properties, 4 apartment complexes plus I am still to this day an active investor with a full team helping me. My portfolio continues to grow monthly. In the beginning, I didn’t have any money or credit, but that didn’t stop me from achieving my goals and dreams.

Today, my mission now is to help 1 million people just like me reach financial independence. I want to teach you what I did and how you can duplicate my system of success.

On the BIG Online Webinar I will teach you…

  • Creative ways to make money right away
  • The Bullet Proof Offer
  • Security
  • Be in the top 1% of wealthy investors
  • The unstoppable mindset
  • Answers to your questions and more!

If you have the drive to build your wealth, then I can easily teach you the rest. Please join me on the Beginning Investors Group Online Webinar on August 27th at 7PM ET to learn more! Register for the BIG Online Webinar Now!

Short-Term Rentals, Long-Term Profits
with Kito J Johnson

Atlanta REIA Members Can Attend at No Charge.
Guests Pay $15 Online or $20 at the Door. RSVP Now!

Kito J JohnsonJoin us at the Beginning Investors Group (BIG) on Monday, August 19th at 6:30PM at the Hudson Grille in Sandy Springs located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs with our special guest, Kito J Johnson, who will be introducing you to “Short-Term Rentals & Long-Term Profits”.

Wholesaling and rehabbing houses will make you rich. Renting houses will make you wealthy.

Buying and selling houses is like buying and selling Golden Geese. If you wholesale or retail a Golden Goose you get paid once and then have to go find another Golden Goose to sell to stay in business.

If you keep the Golden Goose, it will lay Golden Eggs every month for many years to come until you perhaps sell it one day. If you continue to buy more Golden Geese, you will soon have a flock of geese that will make you very wealthy over time.

Now imagine you have several Golden Geese whose eggs are each worth $1200 a month as a long-term rentals. Did you know you could double or triple the value of those very same eggs as a short-term rentals without all the headaches that come with long-term tenants?

Many new investors have started banking on this relatively new, buy and hold, short-term rental strategy! Have you gotten started?

If not, come join us and find out why this rising method of real estate investing is SO popular and how you can fill your portfolio with multiple properties and fill your bank account with six-figures in your very first year!

There’s so much that goes into building a successful short-term rental business, so Kito wants to show you the right moves for a strong lift-off.

Join Kito at BIG to learn the best of the best in:

  • The Starting Process
  • The Most Effective Tips For Beginners (Start Like a Pro!)
  • Screening Guests (Don’t skip this step!)
  • Becoming a Preferred Host (and maintaining 5-star Reviews)
  • Marketing Your Rental
  • Advice on Managing Multiple Units (You’ll have more than one!)
  • And How To Make Six-Figure In Your First Year… FOR REAL!
  • Answers to your questions and more!

Join us to learn to avoid newbie mistakes made by the uninformed investor. Come hear real-life steps to secure your status as a highly-acclaimed super host.

You will learn short-term rental essentials and the principles to establishing your wealth through this HOT method of investing and increasing your wealth substantially. You have no excuse. With valuable information like this, you need to be at BIG! Take Action & RSVP NOW!

Onsite PropertyPlease join us on Tuesday, August 20th at NOON for the Atlanta REIA Onsite Renovation Group (ORG) to learn all about finding, funding, fixing and flipping houses (or holding) for big profits right here in the metro Atlanta area.

Onsite PropertyThis month’s 2nd Onsite meeting will be held at 1147 To Lani Farm Rd, Stone Mountain, GA which is a rehab project we visited back in January before renovation began. See video below of what you missed.

Onsite PropertyThis house is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2,170 sq ft, split level home built in 1985. At the time of purchase, the home was being used as a Section 8 rental. This project being managed by Chrissy Griffin and Alan McDaniel started out as a “light” rehab with a $40K budget but may have ended up costing closer to $55K.

Onsite PropertyThe house has been completely renovated on the inside. Several walls have been removed creating a much more open floor plan. The house has a new kitchen, new baths, updated lighting and is fully staged. On the exterior, they replaced the roof, windows and doors, rebuilt the deck and repaired and painted the privacy fence and updated landscaping.

RSVP Now and come see the dramatic transformation!

Have you ever wanted to buy, sell, rehab or hold real estate investment properties but didn’t know where to get the money to fund your deals? Maybe you want to find, fix and flip properties needing major repairs… Or maybe you don’t want to flip houses, but want to buy and hold them long term as long or short-term rentals.

The purpose of the group to network and share ideas, discuss best practices for your rentals as well as actively discussing and participating in legislative issues that are impacting this growing industry.

You probably already know “The Short-Term Rental Industry is SO HOT, It’s On Fire! But being “On Fire” also means the industry is “IN THE FIRE” and unfortunately, that doesn’t always end well.

Pam O'DellAccording to Pam O’Dell, the Executive Director of the Short-Term Rental Owners Association of Georgia (STROAGA), “We are quickly taking over hospitality markets and our competitors are angry about it! Some want to prevent us from establishing a foothold – others want to tax and regulate us.”

Richard MunroePlease join us on Tuesday, August 13th at 1PM at the Short-Term Rental Owners Networking Group where Richard will be joined by Pam O’Dell, who will discuss the importance of identifying local laws and ordinances for short-term rentals in your city and county that may dramatically affect your short-term rental business. They will also cover the current progress with the City of Atlanta and state initiatives with the next session.

If you’re already in the short-term rental business or want to be, RSVP Now and come join us monthly to learn everything you need to know to survive and thrive in this red hot business!
