Buying, Selling & Holding Real Estate Tax Free! The Power of Self-Directed IRAs
with Scott Maurer
January 26th, 6:30PM, Solutions Realty Network
100 Glendalough Ct, Suite D2, Tyrone, GA 30290

Scott MaurerWe are excited to kick off the new year this month at the EPIC Group with our special guest speaker, Scott Maurer. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 26th at 6:30PM at the Solutions Realty Network Headquarters located at 100 Glendalough Ct, Suite D2 in Tyrone, GA. Scott will be talking about how to grow your business tax free using your self-directed IRA.

Many investors don’t know that it’s even possible to use retirement funds when investing in real estate. Most IRA accounts are invested with banks and brokerage firms who do not allow for this type of investment within their portfolios, but IRS regulations certainly allow for many types of alternative investments. Self-directed IRAs allow individuals to use their IRA funds to purchase rental property, rehabs/flips, private mortgages, tax liens, and much, much more. By using a self-direct IRA, an investor can utilize this “new” bucket of cash to acquire assets that they can better control and thus drive better returns to their IRA. Best of all, the gains from these investments go back to the IRA without any tax implications.

At the meeting you will learn:

  • What types of accounts are eligible to be self-directed
  • How you can move money from current IRA custodians without worrying about tax implications
  • What the rules are pertaining to prohibited transactions and disqualified persons
    (In short, what you can’t do with your self-directed IRA)
  • How the process works from contract to closing, and how the earnings come back to the IRA on a tax-deferred or tax-free basis
  • How to obtain “checkbook control” over your IRA for the purpose of real estate investing
  • And Much, Much More!

Scott has worked for Advanta since 2006, and is a frequent speaker on the topic of self-directed IRAs and using retirement funds to invest in real estate and other alternative assets. Scott is also an attorney and a member of The Florida Bar.

Come on out on Tuesday, January 26th. You are sure to meet some great individuals and make lasting connections that will help propel your business in the right direction. We look forward to seeing you there!

Joe Thompson This month on Thursday, January 28th at 11:30AM at the 5 Seasons Brewing located at 5600 Roswell Rd, Joe Thompson will be talking about getting your year started off the right way with setting goals and making a plan to execute. Join us on Thursday, January 28th at 11:30AM!

The First Step Every Plan Needs to take a step. Did we really just say a plan needs to take a step? It does not even have legs! Well, the plan needs to take the step – the question that you should be asking is “in what direction?” It is not surprising to hear that most new business fail in the first year. Why is that? With any endeavor if you do not know where you are going, how can you get there? You must establish a destination and your plan needs to move in that direction.

If you stop and think about a destination and take the time to print out a map and chart a course, your chances of success are going to be far greater. You just need a good map and someone who knows the roads – like Atlanta REIA. Before we get to the map, let’s discuss destinations: If you are going to start a real estate business, what is your revenue goal for year one? What is your five year plan? What is your projected gross margin? What does it take to make a profit in your business?

If you are going to become a full time Real Estate Investor, which of the vast number of strategies, techniques and systems are you going to be using? How many deals do you plan to close each month? What are your exit strategies?

If you, like the rest of us here are going to profit from this current real estate market, what are you going to focus your attention on? Short sales, foreclosures, flips, rehab’s, rentals, lease purchase, notes, mobile homes, multi family, commercial, etc, etc? Do you have sufficient funds to do the type of deals you are going to target? If rental property is your goal, how many rentals do you plan to acquire and over what period of time?

Whatever you destination, a plan of attack and a step by step, turn by turn map of how to get there is what you need. You need to make sure your route is sound and that you take the best roads – that you use the best vehicle to minimize costs, save on taxes and protect yourself from the others out there.

Commercial & Multi-Family Real Estate GroupThe Atlanta REIA Commercial & Multi-Family Real Estate Group is an educational, networking and call to action subgroup, led by Steve Brown and Bill Ham that is designed to help real estate investors take their investments to the next level by successfully investing in commercial real estate. You will meet the experts and the behind the scenes players in the game of commercial real estate investing. Come join us and learn to invest in commercial real estate for fun and extreme profits.

The group meets on the 4th Thursday of each month from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM at the 5 Seasons Brewing located at 5600 Roswell Rd (map). Please note that the Commercial & Multi-Family Real Estate Group meets just prior to the Have’s and Wants Meeting which is from 1:30 PM until 3:30 PM. So please come enjoy both of these back to back meetings and get the most out of your day!

Rules and regulations that investors must adhere to are always changing and it is important to stay informed about them.

Equitable Consulting, Inc. is a Consulting Firm for investors and Mortgage Lenders, and a Residential Mortgage Brokerage and Commercial Lender serving the south east since 1999.

Rick will be discussing…

  • Residential & investment underwriting criteria from institutional funding to private lending and how it pertains to stabilized properties, rehabs, and new construction.
  • Pitfalls to watch out for in each of the above types of investments.
  • Relevant ratios you should be aware of and use in making investment decisions.
  • Investment strategy basics for deal #1, buy & hold, and fix & flip properties.
  • And much, much more!

This meeting will give the beginning investor a solid foundation to begin building their real estate investing career and will refocus the seasoned investor to matters of most importance. You will not want to miss this great opportunity to illuminate your business with the insight of a seasoned consultant and jumpstart 2016 in the right direction. You will also gain a fundamental understanding of lending products, regulation compliance, and learn the associated opportunities available to Atlanta REIA members.

Atlanta REIA Members & Guests, Please RSVP on Meetup.com

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.

During 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!
