This Recession Won’t Last, And When It Goes,
So Will The Best Chance In Your Lifetime For An Average Person To Get Rich In Georgia Real Estate
If you’re not making obscene amounts of money in real estate right now, you’re missing the best opportunity of your lifetime to get rich. This recession has opened doors for both beginning and seasoned investors, the likes of which I haven’t seen in my 30 years, and I hate to think most people will sleep right through it… and it does not require money, credit, experience or a license to get started.
Why Is This Important To You?
It’s simple! If you don’t take action now and get on the bandwagon, the greatest opportunity to create wealth on The Fast Track may pass you by before you even know what happened.
My name is Ron LeGrand and I’ve set aside a full day on Saturday, March 22nd from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm to share these secrets with you. You’re invited to attend if you truly want to make this year your best year ever and let this recession make you rich. I call this all-day seminar The Fast Track To Wealth and the title says it all. Click here to Register Now!
But Who Am I, And
Why Should You Listen To Me?
I am the world’s leading expert in quick turning residential real estate and Dustin invited me to spend the day sharing how I make millionaires.
Over the past 30 years, I have bought and sold over 2,500 single-family homes, and still do 6-12 every month now on auto pilot with less than 2 hours a week of my time.
I tell it like it is, and those who follow my system make a lot of money, some become millionaires. I show people the real business of buying and selling real estate with little or no money or credit and how to build a fortune quickly with my time-tested, proven and trademarked techniques.
Here’s A List Of The Sessions Covered

Learn How To Do Real Estate Deals Without Going To The Bank At The Beginning Investors Group on Feb 17, 2014
Posted on February 5, 2014 bywith Special Guest, Bill Ham
All Members & Guests Must RSVP Online to Attend
Members Attend for FREE and Guests for $15 Online or Pay $20 at the Door.
Guests can Join Atlanta REIA for Only $100/year and Attend for FREE!
Come join us at BIG on Monday, February 17th at 6:00PM at Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs, where former corporate pilot and regular contributor to Atlanta REIA’s Profit Newsletter, Bill Ham, will show you how to get your first deal (and lots more) without having to qualify for a loan from a bank. He will teach you how to build a portfolio of cash flowing properties even if you have bad credit, no credit or you have never even done a deal.
Bill has been investing with real estate for eight years now. He started with one duplex and no cash. Bill then created a portfolio of hundreds units from single family deals up to large commercial apartment complexes and everything in between. To this day, Bill has never walked into a bank and qualified for a loan, put money down, and purchased a real estate investment. He has lots of bank loans, but all of them came from refinancing after taking control of the property with some form of creative financing.
“I didn’t start with a ton of cash. I was twenty-eight years old when I quit my career-building job as a corporate pilot. I didn’t have a life savings. I didn’t have lots of connections from the business world. I wasn’t able to go to all of my wealthy investors and have them fund my deals. I survived by perfecting the art of creative financing, by mastering the art of Creative Financing. Now I have seven employees, my own management company, and hundreds of units.I survived because the art of helping people solve their problems is a very lucrative business. This is the core of what I teach. In all my material, that is the one concept I will repeat over and over”!
You will learn:
- Techniques to create single or multi-family portfolios without using banks
- Learn what Lease Options and Debt Partners are and how they are used in creative financing.
- What Master Lease Options are(MLO).
- How and When to use Seller Financing

The all new Atlanta REIA All Inclusive Marketing (AIM) Group (formerly the “I Love Marketing” group) meets on Monday, February 10th at 7:00 PM at La Madeleine located at 1165 Perimeter Center West, Atlanta, GA. We are very excited about this meeting and our guest speaker and star maker, Ariel Ghinga, who will be talking about how to use “Public Speaking” to help grow your small business.
You may be thinking that public speaking is not for you and that there is no way anyone could drag you on to any stage to speak. Well, whether you realize it or not, any time you speak in public, regardless of the number of people in the audience, it is public speaking. Your communication skills are perhaps one of the single most significant skills you can acquire that will help you soar to the top of your chosen profession. You can use these skills regardless of whether you are speaking with one person, such as buyers, sellers and customers, or to thousands of people.
Ariel Ghinga is a skilled public speaking coach who has helped many professionals and entrepreneurs grow their businesses through his time-tested and proven public presentation techniques. His breakthrough programs on public speaking and leadership have enabled participants to soar to financial heights using his advanced immersion methodologies on communicating effectively.
Come join us at AIM on Monday, February 10th to learn how you can sharpen your speaking and communication skills. This is a rare opportunity you don’t want to miss!
