Learn All About Home Inspections and How They Can Save You Money
Posted on August 31, 2015 bywith Special Guest, Rick Harris
September 1st, 6:30PM, Golden Corral, Cumming, GA
We are excited to announce that ASHI certified home inspector, Rick Harris, will be our special guest speaker this month at the Mountain REIA monthly meeting. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 1st at 6:30PM at the Golden Corral located at 2025 Market Place Blvd, Cumming, GA. Rick will be teaching us all about home inspections and why they are such a critical part of your real estate investing business.
Whenever you are buying a new home either as a rental or to rehab, you will definitely want to have that house examined by a certified home inspector. A home inspector can save you from so many headaches by bringing to light potential problems that you may not have been able to see just by walking through the property. They can also save you a lot of money by helping you more accurately figure your rehab costs prior to purchase so that you can buy smart, and earn a large profit. You could potentially only estimate a $10,000 rehab, but a thorough home inspection may find an additional $15,000 in other repairs you didn’t see during your walk though. That additional $15,000 in repairs will come straight out of your pocket if you don’t factor it in before you make your offer.
You definitely do not want to miss this meeting and learn directly from a certified home inspector what he looks for in houses and how he can save you a lot of money on the front end, before you buy your next investment property. There will be a lot of learning and great networking. Make sure to bring your business cards and deals to discuss.
We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!

Where do you go to get a lease option buyer or an owner finance buyer qualified to get a conventional mortgage and cash you out?

These same people may be able to qualify in a few years with some help and guidance. Come hear from an expert in this arena as he discusses credit, how it impacts the marginal borrower, and how to resolve their issues. For more than 20 years, Hurtis has been working with lenders and attorneys to help their clients understand and improve their credit issues.
Founded in 1992 and incorporated in 1997, The Barrington Financial Group, Inc is a mortgage consulting company that specializes in assisting banking and mortgage lending institutions with their prospective home buyers who are having difficulty in qualifying for a mortgage.

Mountain REIA Meets on June 2, 2015 with Joe Varnadore
Posted on May 28, 2015 bywith Special Guest, Joe Varnadore
June 2nd, 6:30PM, Golden Corral, Cumming, GA
Real estate investors today are facing a changing market place. New regulations, historical lawsuits and settlements, along with a still sluggish economy have affected the supply and demand of real property in a significant way. These profound effects will set the course of real estate investing for the next several years. Real estate investors will have to adjust their approach to real estate as yesterday’s strategies and techniques will not yield the same result in the future. Come out on June 2nd to Mountain REIA at 6:30PM at Golden Corral located at 2025 Market Place Blvd, Cumming, GA to learn all about paper from Joe Varnadore
Today’s legislation is pushing banks to refinance existing loans while also putting restrictions on new loans. Other laws are making it more expensive for banks to foreclose and to hold foreclosed properties. In another huge move, new Fannie and Freddie actions have incentivized banks to sell more troubled loans rather than foreclose. These changes have led to a massive supply of troubled, non-performing notes.
Joe will discuss all these changes and how you can capitalize on this market as an investor in addition to teaching you…
- Why the Note Business is the Hottest Topic in Real Estate Today!
- How to Use Notes to Find Great Real Estate Deals!
- How to Turn $100 into $100,000 or More Tax Free in Your IRA!
- Why it is Easier to Flip Notes than to Flip Houses!
- Why The Banks, HUD, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Have Stopped Foreclosing on Low Price Band Properties (Value Less Than $125,000)!
- How to Become a Note Buyer with as Litte as $100!
- How to earn 10% commissions from seller financing without using any of your own money!
- How to make huge commission on commercial and other large notes!
- And Much, Much More!
Joe Varnadore began investing in his first property at the age of 19. Joe quickly learned the importance of using creative financing to make the deal work. Since then, Joe has created, brokered, bought, and sold more than 10,000 real estate notes on both residential and commercial properties. As an author, speaker, and trainer for the past 25 years, he believes that there has never been a greater opportunity for real estate investors to use non-performing notes to acquire properties and seller financing to cash out.

May 6th at 6PM, 3707 Main Street, College Park, GA

As a real estate attorney, Bob has just about seen it all. He knows the ins and outs of what it takes to make a successful real estate transaction happen. Even the most seasoned investor can get comfortable with real estate transactions and may get sloppy with the details from time to time, which in turn can hurt your wallet.

Wouldn’t you rather learn from others mistakes instead of making them yourself and collecting smaller checks? If you will be just a little more precise with the details that Bob will teach you about, you will be able to walk away from the closing table with LARGER checks!
This presentation will be equally great for beginning and experienced investors. This will also be a great opportunity for investor who have only worked with Single Family Residences to get a glimpse at the exciting world of Multi-Family and Commercial Investing.
At the meeting you will learn…
- Details that can derail or delay a closing
- Why you should read the schedules in the title policy
- Common mistakes that can cost you dearly
- What happens to a tenant in a foreclosure
- How a good attorney can protect your interests and make you more money
- And Much, Much More!
Bob Witcher is a seasoned attorney with a long standing client base of investors and private lenders. Over the years, Bob has represented clients in a wide variety of situations impacting investors. His presentation “Focus on the Deal, Focus on the Details” will draw from his real world experiences working with investors on a daily basis.

The Ice Man Is Coming and He Will Freeze Your Pipes
Posted on January 8, 2015 byAtlanta Houses are not designed to handle sustained temperatures in low single digits. With low temperatures and higher winds the wind chill over the next several days will be brutal.
If you have vacant houses you might consider antifreeze in the traps, drain water lines where you can and drip faucets.
Even occupied homes with the heat on are not immune to frozen pipes.
Years ago after a severe cold spell I had a bucket full of short lengths of split copper pipes. We had cut them out of my houses when we repaired the “frozen pipes”. The problem is not when they freeze, it’s when they thaw.
Today I will be purchasing twenty five dollar portable electric space heaters and ceramic tiles to set them on. I will be making sure that cabinet doors in kitchens and baths are open. I will tape notes on the cabinets reminding folks not to close them. The note will be taped on such that in order to close the door the note will have to be moved. I will make sure that laundry rooms have adequate heat and that doors are open. I will use space heaters where necessary.
Anywhere that plumbing is in an outside wall I will be sure to drip the faucets.
Remember to be very careful with space heaters you do not want a fire. I will place space heaters on the ceramic tiles I purchase. I do not want to place a heater on carpet, vinyl or wood.
