Yes, you read that right, 116+ people gathered together at January’s BIG meeting for a record turnout. We listened to an action oriented, powerful presentation made by William Crowley on Credit Restoration. William informed us of a lot of points that many of us did not know about our credit reports and history. He delivered his 4 step system to restore credit and facts about the UCC code. William touched a nerve that a lot of us have… Many of us are slaves to debt and our credit history. William is driven by his passion to help us break those chains of credit slavery.

We also expanded our meeting agenda. We have started a “First Deal” segment, where we will highlight members as they do their first deals. Congratulations to Bernard Lawson and his partner Esther Walker of BE Property Investors LLC for taking the “leap of faith” and getting into the game. Congratulations to Jason Baines too who did his first “subject to” deal. If you are a first time investor and a regular attendee of our meeting, we want to hear about your first deal!

Mike Cherwenka of Goldmine Properties also spoke about the in’s and out’s of Wholesaling during his long real estate investing career. Rock Shukoor also taught us “How to Wholesale Like A Pro” during Late Nite Networking.

Dustin Griffin also spoke on the benefits of having an Atlanta REIA membership and updated us on some of the exciting new subgroups that Atlanta REIA is forming now. He also updated us on how our members can participate in the new DIY Network TV Show called “First Time Flippers”. If you want to know more details, just go to First Time Flippers.

Come join us at BIG on Monday, January 20th at 6:30PM at Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs, where long time credit restoration expert, William Crowley, will be our special guest speaker.

William is an honorably discharged Marine and the owner of Complete Care Financial Services which has specialized in providing Credit Restoration Assistance to real estate investors, agents and other real estate professionals and their clients since 1999.

After getting fed up with all the misinformation from the Credit Reporting Agencies and all the hype from so called “Credit Repair Companies”, William created a powerful, yet simple, proven 4-Step Credit Restoration Formula that you can put to use immediately to start removing negative items from your credit reports or those of your clients.

During his presentation, William will teach how to use the Fair Credit Reporting Act to greatly benefit yourself and your customers by deleting negative entries off their credit report in as little as 30 days. Negatives such as bankruptcies, tax liens, student loans, late payments, collections, repossessions, foreclosures, charge offs and much, much more.

You will learn:

• William’s 4-Step Credit Restoration Formula
• How to delete negatives off your credit report and dramatically increase your credit score for the cost of a postage stamp.
• How to get tax liens, student loans, late payments, collections, repossessions, charge-offs and even foreclosures and bankruptcies removed from your credit reports due to the Credit Reporting Agencies’ incompetence.
• How to use a Cease and Desist Letter to stop harassing calls from Collection Agencies.
• How to use the Fair Credit Reporting Act to your advantage.
• How to settle accounts with Collection Agencies the right way.
• Any much, much more about Credit Restoration…

RSVP Now and come learn about bettering your credit score, your clients and your tenant/buyers to unleash your investing business. Seating is limited!

Atlanta REIA has been contacted by the casting department for the DIY Network’s new show called “First Time Flippers”. They are looking for first time house flippers in the Atlanta area to feature on the upcoming season of the show. The show is about whether or not two First Time Flippers can turn a disaster house into a dream home. The show will chronicle the highs and lows of finding, fixing and flipping a house as investors take on their very first deal. Will they make a profit or will they break the bank?

People that are featured in an episode of First Time Flippers will receive $5,000 for allowing the show to film their flipping experience. Since the title of the show is “First Time Flippers”, they are looking for people who really are fixing and flipping a house for the first time. They do not want seasoned pros or people who are already flipping houses for a living. Also, they said they prefer people who plan on doing the majority of the physical work themselves – it’s just not as entertaining to watch somebody buy a house and then hire contractors to essentially fix it for them. Plus, this show is going to be airing on the DIY Network, which stands for “Do It Yourself”.

Join us at BIG on Monday, January 20th to Learn
How To Apply for the Casting Process!

Atlanta REIA and the Beginning Investors Group are excited to announce that Tom DiAgostino will be our special guest trainer this month at BIG on Monday, November 18th at 6:30 PM at the Hudson Grill located at 6317 Roswell Rd NE in Sandy Springs, GA. Tom will be teaching us “How to Create a Cash Flow Fortune with Tax Sales”, a real estate niche that most investors know nothing about. Join us at the meeting and you will learn…

• Why this is the easiest way to buy properties so cheap it feels like stealing
• Why auctions are not the answer, and the secret to making maximum interest
• How to make easy 18-36% returns without owning real estate, but enjoying its security
• Where to tap into the most motivated sellers on the planet with the LEAST Competition
• Why there is so much meat on the bone, it’s hard NOT to make insane profits
• How to do it all tax free within your IRA
• How we make our staff available to do it for you if you wish

Tom says… “Regardless of your experience or location, you can earn unthinkable interest, or find unbelievable deals to wholesale, flip, or partner on. Even Homer Simpson can do what I am going to teach you. I mean deals at 10-30% of repaired value.”

“I’ve been around the block for 21 years and done it all. This is not the flavor of the week. This training will change your financial life, and your generations to come. Stop trying to ride the next wave, only to find you’re on the back end, left at sea. We’re not just trainers, we’re your investment partners. Come join us and spend 90 min on November 18th at the Beginning Investors Group where I’ll explain why this is the best deal source on the planet for every type of investor.”
