That’s a BOLD promise! Anyone who is familiar with George Antone and his proven advanced strategies know they are in for a treat because George always fulfills on his bold promises!
George, a 3-time best-selling author and thought leader in the finance and investing space, has blown the lid off a new paradigm no one is teaching; or even talking about, until now!
Imagine low-risk and low-stress strategies that are implemented one time and placed on autopilot to work FOR you starting ASAP – all in 6 hours or less per month!
In fact, keep reading for a $100k+ strategy that will be revealed in this presentation!
No, this is not a “get rich quick” strategy, but a fascinating way to tweak finance to make it work for you in amazing ways!
The traditional methods of building wealth can be grouped into 3 main categories: Investing, Trading and Saving. These traditional methods work; however, they require a lifetime commitment of learning and implementation.
George has been working on this new paradigm, a 4th method, called “Hacking Finance” – that promises the ability to LEARN and IMPLEMENT each financial strategy within a total of 6 hours or less, and then place it on autopilot to keep working for you! Join us at the meeting to get your Complimentary Copy of “Hacking Finance”!
…and you are about to walk away with one of these $100k+ “shortcuts” just from this presentation! This is NOT an overnight $100k+ strategy, but something you implement one time, and it builds over a number of years into $100k or more on autopilot.
What if you are already investing or lending? Quite simply, these methods will increase your existing returns tremendously! Come discover from George’s #1 trainer how to boost your yields by combining this system with your existing investments!
That’s exactly why we’re excited to have Paul Rossano, George’s top trainer, as our guest speaker this month at the Atlanta REIA Main Meeting on Monday, April 8th from 5PM-9PM at 3125 Presidential Pkwy, Atlanta, GA!
Paul will also be sharing this new paradigm, and will give you details of ONE of those strategies that banks use (called “floats”), that you can use to skyrocket your wealth. Paul will demonstrate what you need to do the very next morning at your local bank to increase your wealth by $100k+ over a number of years on autopilot without the stress of risky investments… and this is just ONE of MANY strategies!
Some people work hard. Others work smart. This is working smart!
If you want your path to financial freedom made easier, then this is something you cannot afford to miss out on! It just might be what you are looking for!
With a few financial tweaks and this different approach, you’ll find you have more time and money to work with than you thought.
Leap forward financially with less risk, less stress, and more time to enjoy life!
So bring a notepad, bring a friend, and get to this meeting—it may change your financial life forever! RSVP NOW & DON’T MISS IT!
*Please Note: Meeting agenda is subject to change.

Due Diligence Boot Camp on March 23 & 24, 2019
Posted on March 9, 2019 byFor Busy Real Estate Investors Who
Want to Know & Understand the Numbers When Making Deals Happen!
When it comes to running a profitable real estate investing business, it’s all about knowing your numbers. If you’re off on your numbers, you may barely break even on a deal or even worse… lose big time!
You’ve probably heard the saying… “You make your money when you buy”. This means YOU MUST KNOW YOUR NUMBERS BEFORE YOU BUY!
So when it comes to knowing your numbers…
- Do you know how to really determine if you are buying a good deal or not?
- Do you know if you’re paying too much?
- Do you know how much profit you’re going to make?
- Do you know how to do all your due diligence before you buy and what to look for?
- Do you know how to accurately determine the AS-IS value of an ugly house?
- Do you know After Repair Value (ARV) of a property for a buy and hold vs a fix and flip (or a high end rehab vs a low end rehab)?
- Do you know how to accurately determine repairs and estimate repair costs before you buy?
- Are you totally comfortable using the numbers your buyer or sellers give you when working a deal?
- Do you know how to quickly run the numbers like a pro?
- Do you know the other types of due diligence you must do before you ever close on a deal?
If you answered “NO” to any of these questions, unfortunately you may be going to a real life, expensive, school of hard knocks seminar very soon if your not extremely careful!
Instead of learning these valuable due diligence skills the hard and expensive way, be sure to attend the upcoming, highly affordable, ALL NEW, Due Diligence Boot Camp with Don DeRosa & Dustin Griffin on Saturday & Sunday, March 23rd & 24th, 2019 from 9AM to 6PM at 3125 Presidential Pkwy, Atlanta, GA.

- How to take a lead and come up with multiple ways to structure the deal
- How to use your computer or mobile device to do your due diligence
- How to use state of the art tools to do all your negotiating for you
- How to overcome all seller objections when buying a house
- How to know the differences with a property’s rental income and it’s value
- Determining how much an investor should pay for a property
- Identifying the target market (buyers) for the property
- How to utilize public and near public information
DAY 2 + Field Trip

- All this, answers to your questions & so much more!
