Don DeRosaDon DeRosa is a part time real estate trainer and mentor and full-time real estate investor who actively buys, sells and holds properties each month for huge profits and long term cash flow. Today Don is working furiously at buying properties “Subject-To” using the existing financing on the seller’s home instead of having to go to a bank or a hard money lender for funding. This allows Don to buy multiple properties fast, without coming up with all the purchase funds on the front end. This is the perfect strategy in today’s market where easy funding is not readily available for investors to buy pretty houses.

Join us on Monday, August 17th at 6:30PM at the Atlanta REIA Beginning Investors Group Meeting at Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs and Don will share with you, many of the subject-to strategies, tools and techniques he uses every day to create winning deals for himself as well as his buyers and sellers.

Don will walk you through real world, actual deals, step-by-step to demonstrate how to apply these strategies, tools and techniques. In fact, you can bring your deals, and he’ll show you exactly how to evaluate the lead, determine your exit strategy, structure the deal, negotiate with the seller and get the paperwork done almost instantly and without any of the hard work you normally do to get your deals done.

By the end of the presentation, you’ll know…

  • How to recognize a “Subject To” opportunity and buy with little or no money!
  • How to evaluate any lead and decide whether this is a winner for you and how much money you’ll make before you make your offer
  • How to combine buying strategies and exit strategies – that work right now, in 2015
  • How to structure a deal in less than 10 minutes, so that you make a minimum of $20,000 on it, choosing from multiple purchase and exist strategies
  • How to determine the seller’s hot buttons so you can craft a deal the seller can’t refuse
  • How to use Don’s proprietary tools to negotiate for you, so you never let your emotions talk you into making a bad deal!

Don’t miss out on learning about this great investing strategy you can use to get your real estate business up and going!

We are looking forward to seeing you at the meeting!

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

Frank IglesiasIf you have been sending out tons of mailers and maybe not getting as much nice feedback as you have in the past, welcome to the club. The market is hot and response rates are not…IF you have been doing the same thing as you were even just six months ago.

That being said, there are still a ton of deals out there. You just have to start looking in different places in addition to changing your approach. Or perhaps, simply do larger volume. And let’s not forget, your mindset can have a significant impact on the process as well.

In this session, we will revisit our roundtable discussion to find out what is working, what is not, and ideas you can implement to start finding the wholesale gems that are out there in your area.

And I assure you they are out there! Join us as we dig into this all too important topic of marketing as a wholesaler this month. You are in the marketing business whether you realize it or not.

Bring your ideas, your recent results, and your deals so everyone can learn together. People in the group are doing deals today so make sure to bring yours!

See you there!

My name is Frank Iglesias. Come join us on Tuesday, August 18th 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 North Meeting
Never Leave Your Phone Unanswered, Money May Be Calling with Corky Nesbitt
August 19th, 6:30PM
1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Suite D, Buford, GA

RSVP Now!

Atlanta REIA Membes Please RSVP on Meetup.com
Atlanta REIA Members Please RSVP on Meetup.com

Corky NesbittConsumer Reports stated that 63% of people who call someone and get a voicemail do not actually leave a voicemail, but just hang up. If a motivated seller calls your number and gets a voicemail, the chances are high that they will just hang up and call the number from the next letter in the pile. Don’t miss the Atlanta REIA North meeting this month where our special guest speaker, Corky Nesbitt from Communication Business Services, Inc (CBSI), will be sharing all the services his company can provide to make sure that your phone never goes unanswered so you won’t lose out on that potential deal. The meeting will take place on Wednesday, August 19th at 6:30PM located at 1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Suite D, Buford, GA.

Being a successful investor is dependent upon being a successful marketer. There has to be a continuous flow of leads coming across your desk and your phone should always be ringing. There is no way possible that you can make yourself available 24/7 to always be answering those phone calls, along with analyzing the deals, going to the properties, meeting with sellers, etc. It would also be a waste of money sending out letters to motivated sellers, only for them to call you back and you not be available to answer and they getting your voicemail. CBSI can help with that.

CBSI is a Veteran-Owned, American-Operated, Certified Small Business, located right here in Marietta, GA. They have been successfully answering other people’s phone for over 30 years. They currently manage over 1200 accounts, 500 of which are for Real Estate Professionals. Their operators are extremely knowledgeable and well trained to handle your phone calls in an upbeat and professional manner. You receive an email notification every time the phone rings so you can keep up with your messages in real time and call back those hot leads right away and seal the deal. You definitely won’t want to miss out on learning how to ensure the success of this critical part of your business.

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! Plan to get there early at 6PM to eat and network before the meeting begins. There will be lots of learning and lots of networking. Bring your deals and your haves, wants and needs to the event.

We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!

As we all know, July has past. The month July stands for FREEDOM for us. I hope you enjoyed the whole month of July and did something special to celebrate your Freedom. At the same time, you can enjoy your freedom only when you are totally free.

What I mean by that is, free physically, mentally and financially. When you have that, you can start living your life to the fullest. Investing in real estate can provide that. I am sure you know that already and yet I am not sure if you know how to put it all together and make it happen.

Here is what I know based on my past experiences and I am sure you have heard of it before:

“You make money in real estate when you buy.”

I took that advice literally and run with it in the beginning of my career and did great for a long time till the market changed. Then I learned that was a good advice except they forgot to tell me one major point, that is:

“You realize your profit when that property is sold.”

That is what I am going to share with you this week. I will share at least 12 very cost effective ways of Building a Buyers List of Active Investors Quickly.

Do you have enough buyers for all of your properties? Do you know how to dominate your market without spending a fortune?

If the answer to any of those are NO, then you must attend this weeks event.

The strategies I will share this week are:

  • Hooter Girls
  • The Columbo Strategy
  • Section 8 Landlords
  • Ebay Down payment Strategy
  • Active investors ads
  • Ugly Signs
  • Rental Active Landlords Ads
  • MLS Sold Comparable
  • Networking & Events
  • Q & A
  • And much, much more

Rock's BookEARLY BIRD BONUS: I believe in rewarding action takers and entrepreneurs that are willing to do what it takes in order to change their lives or have the desire to get better at what they are already doing. Therefore, I will offer some bonuses. As a special bonus this month for all “early birds,” I am offering the following:

  1. My book, “Extraordinary results by ordinary investors” (Digital copy).
  2. The first 2 attendees will get your copy of Bill Glazer’s “Outrageous Advertising That Is Outrageously Successful”.
  3. A trip for 2.

We will meet at our usual location at the Hudson Grille at 7:00PM and be there until 9:00PM and then hang out and have our Late Nite Networking. I look forward to seeing you at the meeting!

Have you ever heard the expression, “you make all your money in real estate the day you buy?” Well, guess what: at Monday’s meeting, you’ll learn that…

When You Wholesale Real Estate,
You Make Your Money—In Cash—BEFORE You Buy!

Vena Jones-CoxSounds too good to be true, but our guest speaker, Vena Jones-Cox, does it about 40 times a year. Join us, and you’ll learn:

Well, it’s absolutely true, and it means that finding bargain properties is probably THE most important skill any real estate investor ever learns.

If you can consistently find sellers who NEED—not want, NEED– to sell their homes, even if it means that they take pennies on the dollar, you’ll have a life full of great deals and the money that they make. If you can’t find these sellers, you literally can’t make money investing in real estate.

  • How to identify the right properties right in your own back yard that you can wholesale for a $5,000-$10,000 profit in the next 30 days
  • What to offer for these properties, so they sell fast and get you cash BEFORE the closing
  • How to find and groom buyers for your deals      
  • And lots more!

It’s a great topic, a great meeting, and a great presenter, so mark your calendar and plan to attend! We’ll see you there.

BTW, Don’t forget Vena’s Saturday August 8th workshop on Advanced Wholesaling & Marketing Strategies. You can get more information or register at https://atlantareia.com/?p=27947!

Vena Jones-CoxOur mission here at Atlanta REIA is to bring you the very best in down-to-earth, usable, money-making real estate information in the country at each and every meeting. And at our August 3rd meeting, we’ve outdone ourselves!

 See, we’ve arranged for Vena Jones-Cox to come all the way from Cincinnati, Ohio to share the wholesaling strategies that will make you $5,000-$10,000 per deal, in today’s market, with no cash or credit.

We’re thrilled to have Vena—she’s one of the most in-demand experts in the country. In addition to investing in real estate full-time since 1989, she’s been featured in Smart Money Magazine, Reader’s Digest, USA Today, Money, and dozens of other books and publications, and has taught literally thousands of regular folks all over the country how to achieve their financial goals through real estate investing.

Best of all, Vena is a real-life investor who explains exactly, step-by-step, how to make money in real estate. At our August meeting, she’s going to tell us how she puts a property under contract each week and then sells the CONTRACT for a $5-$10K profit without ever buying the property—and how you can, too.

The meeting is at the usual location, Atlanta Unity located at 3597 Parkway Lane in Norcross, GA at 5:00 pm. We’ll see you there!

BTW, Vena is also joining us for an all-day workshop on Saturday, August 8th where she’ll teach us all about Wholesaling Business & Marketing. It’s just $29.95 for Gold Members and $39.95 for Silver Members to attend; space will run out fast! Register right now by calling (678) 701-7160 or online at https://atlantareia.com/?p=27947.

Atlanta REIA Wild Wild West

Explode Your Business Now!
Do More Deals by Working Less!

with Frank Iglesias
July 27th, 6:30PM, Cherokee Cattle Company
2710 Canton Rd, Marietta, GA

Atlanta REIA Membes Please RSVP on Meetup.com

Frank IglesiasThis month we have a very special treat for you!  Whether you are new to real estate, getting back in, or building your business and working more than you’d like to, you NEED to be at this month’s Wild West Event!  Our guest speaker Frank Iglesias is the real deal. He’s currently running a very successful real estate business, and he’s built it so that it doesn’t suck up all his time!  As a result, he’s able to enjoy the lifestyle that most real estate investors only dream about.  How?  By effectively leveraging his time!

Join us at the Wild West Event on Monday July 27 at the Cherokee Cattle Company located at 2710 Canton Rd in Marietta, as Frank shares with us his secrets on how he was able to grow his business, make more ca$h, do more deals, and buy more houses by using VA’s!  If you have been around real estate for any length of time, you’ve probably heard about Virtual Assistants, or “VAs” for short.  Sounds sexy, but how can you use them effectively?  Recently, Frank gave a talk and asked the audience what came to their minds when he said the term ‘Virtual Assistant’.  The answers were, like almost any other time he’s asked:  1) International, 2) Cheap, 3) Hard to Understand, 4) Do busy work tasks.  No wonder more people don’t leverage this awesome opportunity to its capacity–the mindset is not one for success before the relationship even begins!

Join us at the Wild West on Monday July 27, when Frank will break this mold by discussing several key points, including:

  • Are VAs your team membersor are they just doing tasks?
  • Hiring and training VAs to make decisions for you
  • How VAs fit into the 80/20 rule, when leveraged properly, so you get your time back

Reality is, running a business does take some work, but it does not have to be overly complicated, time consuming or difficult.  It does, however, require preparation, planning and ultimately, systems.  It won’t happen until you first decide to Stop Doing It All Yourself.

What you will learn:  Frank will cover a lot of ground on how VAs play a vital part of his thriving real estate business, including:

  • Scaling your business using VAs
  • Differences between local and virtual help
  • Unleashing the right VAs to run your day to day for you so you can focus on growth
  • The principals his team uses to look at over 100 deals every single week and cherry pick what makes sense
  • And Much, Much, More!

Bottom line, it’s competitive out there with the market picking up speed and more investors vying for the same deals. To make more money at a faster pace requires efficiency and speed. Having the right team in place is critical to achieving this successfully. Having just one helping hand daily can make a huge impact on your growth. VAs can help you accomplish this with greatly reduced costs, if done properly. So mark your calendars now and get ready for an action packed evening at the Wild West Event on Monday July 27! Bring your questions and take lots of notes so you too can Stop Doing It All Yourself! See you there!

5 Days & 4 Nights in CancunWIN A COMPLEMENTARY CARIBBEAN VACATION FOR TWO!: All participants who attend the Atlatna REIA West Meeting will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a *Complimentary Caribbean Vacation for TWO and other great door prizes! *You must be present at the meeting to win.

Robert MulcahyYou are all in for a special treat this month at the Peachtree City EPIC Group. Robert Mulcahy is going to be our guest speaker and will be teaching us about creative financing solutions for today’s real estate investors. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 28th at 6:30PM at the Green Ginger Asian Fusion Restaurant located at 200 Market Place Connector in Peachtree City, GA. This will be a great opportunity for you to network with other like-minded investors and to create a relationship with a company who can assist you with your financing needs.

In 2013, approximately 14.9 million single family homes were occupied by renters, which is a 26% increase since before the market crash in 2006. Of all the rental inventory, 53% are 1-4 unit properties. With a 2% decrease in overall home ownership, that creates an additional 2.5 million renters. (Source: National Multifamily Housing Council & U.S. Census Bureau. Updated 9/2014) With these statistics, it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that now is a great time to stock up on rental properties, but more properties means more cash needed to buy them.

Robert Mulcahy with Angel Oak Prime Bridge, LLC will show you the solutions to those financial problems. He will show you…

  • How best to use leverage & financing to increase your investment business
  • How to understand and access financing
  • An overview of new lending programs available specifically for investors
  • How to finance up to 25 properties at a time
  • Programs that use the property income to qualifyand not your personal incom
  • How to pull cash out of properties
  • And so much more!

If you are involved in any type of real estate transaction needing funding, you won’t want to miss connecting with Robert and his company. He has the ability to give you the freedom you need to purchase as many properties as you desire. Some highlights of investor loan programs available are:
