Atlanta REIA Meets on May 4, 2015 on Building Your Brand
Posted on April 20, 2015 by& Vendor Trade Show
“Instant Celebrity Status”
Atlanta REIA Members Can Attend at No Charge. This month,
Guests Can RSVP Online Now for $20 or Pay $25 at the Door.
Atlanta REIA is excited to announce that TC Bradley will be our special guest speaker this month at our main monthly meeting on Monday, May 4th at 5PM at Atlanta Unity located at 3597 Parkway Lane in Norcross, GA. TC will be teaching how YOU can become a leading expert in your field and dominate your market, backed by the credibility of being a #1 best-selling author!
Credibility is extremely important to establish in the real estate investing business. With Google now easily within everyone’s reach, it is even more important to establish yourself as someone who knows what they are doing and to set yourself apart from the rest of your competitors. How great would it be to be able to confidently tell a seller to search for your name and for them to be able to see that you are considered to be a leading expert and #1 best-selling author in your field? Surely anyone can write a book, find a publisher, and promote their book around the clock so that it lands on #1 best seller lists right? That sounds like a lot of work…
This video is from TC and our friends at Florida Gulf Coast REIA
TC will show you how to streamline that process and establish instant credibility almost overnight! A process that used to take years to accomplish, TC can now accomplish in just a few short months. TC has cracked the media code and can help your business soar to new heights and make a lot more money with just a few simple strategies. TC can also help you and your business achieve national recognition through media outlets such as Forbes.com, Huffington Post, Business Insider, and Entrepreneur.com. He will also get your news releases syndicated with dozens of top media sites such as ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX affiliates.
“My media clients NEVER compete on price and always charge premium pricing for their services…people today want to do business with the LEADER the EXPERT AUTHORITY and that is what I deliver” – TC Bradley
Monday evening, TC Bradley, Founder of InstantCelebrityStatus.com, will be sharing the details on how YOU can become a Co-Author of a Best Selling Book within the next 60 – 90 days! That’s right, less than 90 days!
A Co-Author book is where you supply 1 chapter of a book and still enjoy the benefits of being a Co-Author of a Best Selling book, and ALL the benefits that come with that.
Becoming a Published Author not only separates you from the “competition”, but becoming a Best Selling Author puts you in another Universe…
- Clearly establishes your AUTHORITY and LEADERSHIP
- Never compete on pricing again with your competition!
- Charge higher fees!
- Opens up speaking opportunities
- Clients and prospective clients view you differently.
- Media exposure possibilities increase.
Use the Best Selling Book that you are a Co-Author of as the coolest business card on the planet! TC’s clients send their books to prospective clients for a HUGE impact! TC will also share how a ghost write can interview you and write your own chapter for you!
Please Note: Book space is limited and already filling up, and we have already had several express an interest in participating, so you do not want to miss this meeting!
TC will also address how to be seen on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX and other big name authority media websites to further enhance your Leadership Credibility.
What some of T.C’s clients are saying:
“TC Bradley is a man of his word. When he says he will do something you, can mark his word, it will be done and done with the utmost highest level of integrity and professionalism. Working with TC during our most recent #1 Amazon Best Selling Book Campaign was an awesome experience. TC definitely operates on a very high level and expects every book he publishes to be a Best Seller because he is playing on the highest levels of perfection and really would not settle for less. There is no doubt that we will be doing many more books with TC and we have absolutely no hesitation in referring his services to anyone that wants to work with the best! Without a doubt, TC is a man of greatness that will bring out the greatness in all that work with him.” ~ Stephanie & Jon Iannotti, 2 time – Amazon #1 Best Selling Authors
“3 Words: This Guy Delivers. Whether it is creating a business website, promotional video, or making his client a best-selling author, TC Bradley will tell you what he is going to do for you and then he does it. I would recommend TC’s marketing services for any serious entrepreneur or business.” ~ Matthew Fitzharris, Attorney at The Law Offices of Matthew J. Fitzharris
“I have since traveled around the world doing seminars and billing 10 Million + per year average. In one seminar, attended by 240 people, I closed 1 Million Dollars in sales in one day, truly, earning the title, “The Million Dollar Closer!” This simply was not going to happen without TC Bradley’s intervention in my life. He single handedly put me on the map, I listened to him and ran with it, to the bank. TC is impeccable with his work, his word, and his being.” ~ Stephen J. Young, Million Dollar Closer
You won’t want to miss your chance to hear TC speak about this exciting opportunity!
We look forward to seeing you Monday night at the Atlanta REIA Meeting on May 4th at 5PM at Atlanta Unity located at 3597 Parkway Lane in Norcross, GA.

All Inclusive Marketing Group Meets Monday, April 13, 2015
Posted on April 3, 2015 bywith Russ Hiner
April 13th, 6:30PM, Hudson Grille, Sandy Springs, GA
Our next All Inclusive Marketing (AIM) Group Meeting is Monday, April 13th at 6:30PM at the Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs. There is no charge for this meeting for Atlanta REIA Members. Guests and Non-Members can pay $20.00 at the door or RSVP Online for $15.00.
AIM is excited about April’s monthly meeting. A good friend, a great marketer, and a successful, active investor, Russ Hiner will be our special guest speaker.
I respect Russ a lot for his knowledge, creativity and ability to make a deal out of almost nothing. He has owned real estate in 9 different states and has coached/mentored investors across the United States.
Russ has gone to the school of hard knocks many times. The tuition alone has made him value wisdom and others’ experience. He has experienced doing deals that were very profitable and exciting. These deals allowed him to achieve the goals and dreams he had set out for himself. Russ has learned that this stuff works…and a lot of what doesn’t work.
Russ is an active real estate investor, wholesaler, coach and mentor. He will share with us how to use Virtual Assistants (VAs) that you pay less than $3.00 an hour to get your marketing done for you. He will also share:
- How to get paid more and do less!
- How to find properties you can wholesale!
- Where to find them from!
- What part of business you should be doing!
- Who to hire so they can get the work you do not want to do done for you!
- Who to delegate almost everything to!
- Delegate your marketing and make lead generation a breeze!
- And much, much more!
We all have a limited amount of time to live our life. Why not maximize the event? Why not spend your time with people who will put large deposits into your bank account and delegate the details to others?
When you attend this exciting and dynamic presentation by Russ Hiner, you will receive a system to hire a virtual assistant to make your life easier and simpler. By you delegating your short comings to another individual, they will do it better and faster. They will love you because you are allowing them to have their dream of a fun job and learn how to do real estate.
If you are over worked and under paid, then come and learn how to get paid more and do less. Learn how you can start achieving your goals of spending time with your family, doing the fun stuff, and getting the hard stuff done through others that you will pay $3.00 or less per hour. Russ will even give you a hand out of potential VAs for you to hire!
When you have made the decision to get out of your JOB or supplement your income, then this is the place to get solid, real life systems. You don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to hear Russ speak on Monday night at AIM!
EARLY BIRD BONUS: I love to reward be around action takers. In my opinion, you are an action taker just by attending this event. I also love people who take action early! As a special bonus this month for all “early birds,” I am offering the following:
- A digital copy of my book, “The Dynamic 6,”
- A digital copy of my book, “Go Mobile Now Or Die!”
- 30 point marketing audit of your business, $250 value to everyone
This is a must attend event! We will meet at our usual location at the Hudson Grille at 6:30PM 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! Read More→

Atlanta REIA Meets on Monday, April 6th with Jon Iannotti
Posted on March 28, 2015 by& Vendor Trade Show
Atlanta REIA Members Can Attend at No Charge. This month,
Guests Can RSVP Online Now for $20 or Pay $25 at the Door.
We are excited to announce that Jon Iannotti will be our special guest trainer this month at Atlanta REIA on Monday, April 6th at 5PM at Atlanta Unity located at 3597 Parkway Lane in Norcross, GA. Jon will be teaching us about how his CATS can help YOU do more deals by giving you the tools needed to structure profitable transactions that others would normally pass on.
CATS?!?!… No, we are not referring to his kitty cats… Jon and his wife Stephanie have created a real estate system they call CATS (Complete Agreeable Terms System). The CATS system is currently helping ordinary, everyday investors become extraordinary investors by giving them the tools they need to do deals that 99% of other investors don’t even realize are deals. Deals that are upside down. Deals where the seller wants full price and all cash. Deals where the seller is behind on payments. All types of deals you might normally throw in the trash.
Knowledge is the key and what you don’t know about how to structure creative transactions can definitely hurt your wallet. Imagine knowing how to take a lead most other investors would toss away and turn it into a profitable deal that could make you thousands in a very, very short period of time!
During his 90 minute presentation, Jon will teach you how to…
- Make money without using your own credit, money or contractors
- Turn a dud of a deal into a profitable deal
- What do do when a seller wants full retail and all cash
- Profit from houses that are upside down
- Do as many deals per month as you desire
- Make a minimum of $5,000 per deal
- Get the benefits of ownership without actually owning the house
- Put your entire business on “Cruise Control”
- All this and much, much more!
Jon and his wife Stephanie have over 30 years combined Real Estate investing and teaching experience. They have over 2000 creative deals under their belt and are considered one of the best in the industry. Jon and Stephanie created ACTS (Agreeable Contract Terms System) for when the seller says “Yes” to terms. They created REACT (Reverse Engineered Agreeable Contract Terms) when the seller says “No” to terms and wants full retail value and all cash. They have now combined these two systems into CATS (the Complete Agreeable Terms System) to have best of both worlds. Now they can make offers that have a high likelihood of being accepted on any of the leads that come across their desk and you can too!
Come spend 90 minutes with Jon at the Atlanta REIA Meeting on Monday, April 6th at 5PM where he will explain how to turn seemingly dead property leads into profitable deals. You certainly will not want to miss out on this career changing information! We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!
WIN A 4 NIGHT STAY IN CANCUN: All participants who attend the Atlanta REIA Meeting will entered into a drawing for a chance to win a *Complimentary 5 Day, 4 Night Stay in Cancun! *You must be present at the meeting to win. Giveaway does not include dining, transportation, transfers, taxes, upgrades, etc.

Investing in real estate is a business built on relationships, not just numbers. As an investor you need a strong team of great people who are as passionate about what they do as you are. Strong relationships are something that you must have to build a great business! Real estate investors can’t work effectively in isolation… You need to have strong relationships with vendors, managers, real estate agents, and other investors and real estate professionals.
If you are serious about becoming a successful real estate investor, then join us at the Beginning Investors Group (BIG) on Monday, March 16th, at 6:00PM at Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs and listen to Joe Thompson, an expert in building strong and productive relationships, show you how to build great relationships for your success!
Joe Thompson founded and leads the Haves And Wants Group that meets EVERY Thursday at 5 Season Brewing in The Prado At Sandy Springs. If there is one person that knows about building relationships, Joe is the Go-To Guy!
You will learn:
- How Honesty and Generosity Can Go A Long Way
- How To Improve Your Relationships With Fellow Investors
- Why Examining Yourself And What To Improve Are Essential To Your Real Estate Success
- How To Use The “What’s In It For Me” Impulse To Your Advantage
- And Much, Much more!
Do you think that investors find their deals through luck? With St. Patrick’s Day upon us and lots of symbols in the air about luck, there are some that really do believe that finding a deal is all about luck. Let Don DeRosa show you how to create that “luck” any day of the year. We will have time to examine two leads and determine if they are a deal or a dud. Please bring us leads that you are working on, we will randomly choose them, and let Don show you if there is in fact a pot of gold at the end of that rainbow!
After the conclusion of the BIG event (after 9:00 PM), we will be hanging out at the Hudson Grille for Late Nite Networking also known as the “Meeting After the Meeting”. So please come eat, drink, network and have fun with like-minded investors and real estate professionals as we hang out late into the night!
*Please Note: Meeting agenda is subject to change.
If you become an Atlanta REIA member before midnight, March 15th, you may attend this BIG Event at no charge as well as other great Atlanta REIA Meetings, plus get great discounts on other Atlanta REIA Workshops. Read More→

Find out the answers to these questions at the meeting. Just so you know, I am a full time real estate investor and marketer and have been using mobile marketing for many years now. So what I will share with you is my own, first hand experience.
Mobile marketing is here to stay and will be around for a long time. I will share some stats on that which will amaze you. Mobile marketing is one of the easiest, fastest, and cheapest marketing there is. It is also growing faster than any other form of marketing.
You must join us at the meeting to see how it works, what tools I use, what kind of messages are being used and how to benefit from it quickly.

This free session, “Find Your Money Direction Now” will help you find your direction in real estate.

Atlanta REIA Main Meeting on Pre-Foreclosures & Short Sales with Shaun McCloskey
Posted on February 23, 2015 by& Vendor Trade Show
Atlanta REIA Members Can Attend at No Charge. This month,
Guests Can RSVP Online Now for $20 or Pay $25 at the Door.
No doubt about it – foreclosure properties are the wave of the present – and the future. The truth is, they’re not going anywhere any time soon. There are endless desperate sellers right in your own back yard who would LOVE to have you fix their problem by negotiating a pennies-on-the-dollar payoff with their banks – and don’t care one bit that you’ll make tens of thousands of dollars in the process.
The problem is, most short sale education makes it sound like every deal you do will be quick, easy, painless, and successful – and according to Shaun McCloskey (and many other real life short sale investors we know), that’s just not the whole truth. Shaun is one of the few short sale/pre-foreclosure experts you’ll ever meet who’s honest about the pros and cons – and tells you how to meet the challenges of this strategy head-on. It’s Shaun’s first time at Atlanta REIA and he’ll explain:
- Why some short sale deals are no-brainer money-makers and some are a complete waste of your time – and how to tell the difference BEFORE you spend a bunch of time “negotiating” deals that should be left for dead.
- Why good systems are key to working multiple short sales at once – and why working multiple deals at once is more profitable and easier than doing one at a time.
- How to identify the right sellers, properties, and lenders to work with, so you can make a 6-figure income negotiating short sales this year!
- And much, much more!
Shaun McCloskey is a full time real estate investor located in St. Louis, MO specializing in short sales and pre-foreclosure property acquisition. He has successfully bought and sold over 300 properties since 2003 and loves the every day thrills of the residential real estate business.
Come learn about making short sales smart and simple at the Atlanta REIA Meeting on Monday, March 2nd at 5PM at Atlanta Unity located at 3597 Parkway Lane in Norcross, GA.
SPECIAL BONUS: Shaun also has a very special bonus for those who attend our meeting while supplies last. He will be giving away a copy of his Special Short Sale Wealth Report on “The TOP 9 Mistakes Investors Make Regarding Short Sales” so you can avoid making them or catching yourself when you do.
Want to learn even more about short sales and pre-foreclosures? Checkout Shaun’s Full Day Pre-Foreclosure & Lifeonaire Workshop on Saturday, March 14th where he’ll show you how to have a profitable short sale business and a real life!
WIN A 4 NIGHT STAY IN CANCUN: All participants who attend the Atlanta REIA Meeting will entered into a drawing for a chance to win a *Complimentary 5 Day, 4 Night Stay in Cancun! *You must be present at the meeting to win. Giveaway does not include dining, transportation, transfers, taxes, upgrades, etc.
