Most people get into real estate to make money and have the freedom to spend their time as they wish. As your investing business grows, you will soon find that there are more tasks that need to be completed than you can handle.

Atlanta REIA South with Roger Blankenship on March 14, 2018
Posted on March 13, 2018 byHow I Made Millions, Lost It All, Regained It & How You Can Too…
Without The Losing Part :)
with Roger Blankenship
March 14th @ 6PM at Club E,
3707 Main Street, College Park, GA
At this event, Roger will tell his story of how he started investing in 2002 out of curiosity, then became a full-time investor in 2006 out of desperation, made millions, lost it all and then re-made it again. Along the way he learned several lessons about real estate, business, and life. He shares them with you in a unique mix of candor, humor, practical insights, and actionable steps.
Roger is going to tell you how you can make $5000 in the next 30 days, even if you have never done a deal before. Perhaps you’ve ventured into real estate investing only to get hit with roadblocks you can’t get around. Analysis takes knowledge. Deals take money. Pulling the trigger requires a special kind of courage that can only come when you combine the right ingredients for success.
Roger knows the ingredients and he knows how to combine them for success. He will tell you, having done over 800+ deals, he’s made just about every mistake in the book, but he kept a good list of those mistakes so you can avoid them!
RSVP Now and join us for this roller coaster story of real estate prosperity at the Atlanta REIA South Meeting at 6PM on Wed, March 14th at The Club E at 3707 Main St. in College Park. Come join us for this fun, informative event.

with Don DeRosa
In real estate “Due Diligence” is the period of time right before and right after you get a Purchase & Sale contract accepted on a property. Due diligence is determining value and repairs, performing calculations, reviewing documents, getting insurance, walking the property to make sure your investment is going to be profitable.
Lack of due dilience, or not knowing how to evaluate a deal, is one of the main reasons new investors fail to buy properties or fail to make a profit. This is one of the major sticking point investors have a hard time getting over.
In fact in every city in America, one of the top three reasons people are afraid to buy houses is because they don’t know how to evaluate properties accurately. In this session, I am going to give you the basics you need to know for evaluating every deal you come across.
You will learn:
- How to determine Values (ARV)
- How to find comps
- What numbers you should use when buying
- How to inspect a property
- How to determine repairs quickly, even if this is your first deal
- What holding costs to use
- What selling costs to use
- And, What pitfalls to avoid
- Answers to your questions and more!
Join Don DeRosa every month at our High Tech Home Buying Creative Deal Structuring Subgroup that meets one hour BEFORE the Atlanta REIA Main Monthly Event at City Of Light. Don will teach you about the state-of-the-art tools and techniques you’ll use to evaluate deals and figure out how to make them work – so you can work less and spend more time where you want, when you want and with whom you want.
Its an amazing time to be a real estate investor. Don’t look back 5 years from now and wish you had acted. Learn how to plan right… Learn to Make More and Work Less, Right Now!
At 5:00 PM in the Main Lobby, we have a Vendor Trade Show that lasts throughout the meeting where you can come out and meet many of our participating Business Members and Vendor Guests who help sponsor our meeting. See a full list of our vendors and sponsors below as they are added.
Vendor tables are limited, so any vendors wanting to reserve a table for the meeting can RSVP for a Vendor Table here. Vendor tables are reserved and setup on a first-come, first-serve basis.
