Jim HittWe are excited to announce that this month at the Atlanta REIA South / Multi-Family Commercial Investing Group monthly meeting, our special guest speaker will be the CEO of American IRA, Jim Hitt. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 7th at 6PM at Club E Atlanta located at 3707 Main Street in College Park, GA. At the meeting, Jim will be talking about what we see when we look at a house.

When most investors see a single family dwelling, they see a house only-flip or rent, the end. When you understand the ‘Magic of a House’ concept you will never see a house again; you will see the beginning of wealth by properly planning future moves. Adding flexibility up front and knowing various outcomes is the key to creating the building blocks to great wealth.

At the meeting, you will learn some of Jim’s successful investing techniques including:

  • Negotiating the purchase of a home with
    – Owner financing
    – No money down
  • Generating immediate cash flow
  • Negotiating a discount when paying off loans
  • Reducing debt through refinancing
  • Increasing cash flow by repurposing a property ($255 per month to $4000 per month!)
  • Leveraging a house to purchase a mobile home park (additional cash flow of $3000 per month!)
  • Applying creative techniques to maximize cash flow and reduce taxes
    – Lease Back
    – 1031 Exchange
    – Trading Shares in Private Offering
  • Negotiating owner financing by actively listening and responding to the needs of the seller
  • Purchasing real estate well below market value
  • Generating cash at closing through creative loan structuring
  • Recognizing potential for real estate deals through old fashioned techniques
  • Overcoming obstacles (i.e. market crash of 2008) and generating positive cash flow ($4000 per month!)
  • Defining goals and setting guidelines to obtain those goals
  • Staying focused and not getting lost in the heat of the battle
