Pitch Your Deals
The Atlanta SHARK TANK meets on the 1st Monday of each month from 6PM to 9PM at Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd NE, Sandy Springs, GA (map) just outside the Perimeter. Shark Tank is currently FREE for Atlanta REIA Members and Guests and is Hosted by Dustin Griffin.
WHOLESALERS, bring your deals and pitch them to the Sharks and our to attendees who are ready to put your deals under contract on the spot! Click here for more information on How to Submit Your Deals to the Sharks.
We can only pitch a limited number of deals to the Sharks, so the deals that don’t get pitched to the Sharks can be pitched during the “Rapid Fire, Deal Pitch Fest” after the conclusion of the Shark Tank panel.
Be sure to bring your contracts and plenty of business cards and flyers for our flyer table and enough for anyone who wants one. You can post your properties to our Atlanta Shark Tank Facebook Group and other Facebook Groups as well throughout the month.
INVESTORS, if you’re looking for a deal to purchase to fix and flip or to buy and hold, come prepared to write contracts and put down any necessary earnest money deposits. There will be plenty of deals being pitched to the Sharks and during the “Rapid Fire, Deal Pitch Fest”. If a deal is not already taken, all you have to to is decide if it is a “Deal” or “No Deal” and take action!
VENDORS, Reserve a Vendor Table for as little as $25, come check us out and and come prepared to meet lots of investors who are looking to do business with you. Vendor tables are cocktail tables that are available on a first come, first serve basis. Vendors will be setup in the “Game Room” at the Hudson Grille and be able to do Vendor Commercials in the “Dining Room” during the beginning of the meeting on a first come, first serve basis.
Eat, Drink, Be Merry and Make Deals Happen! Shark Tank is a “dinner” group and we kindly request that you buy dinner and/or drinks since the Hudson Grille allows us to take over their space and takes such good care of us. Please tip the wait staff well.
Bring your deals, your business cards, flyers and your haves, wants and needs to the meeting and come network with us!
*Please Note: This Meeting agenda is a work in progress and is subject to change at any time for any reason.

That Keep You From
Playing Your Top Game!
with Sharon Rubinstein
Join us at the Beginning Investors Group (BIG) on Monday, April 15th at 6:30PM at the Hudson Grille in Sandy Springs located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs with Sharon “Sharoney” Rubinstein on the Seven “Perfect” Lies we often tell ourselves that keep us from playing our top game in real estate and in life.
Everyone talks about potential. It’s easy to talk. It’s just “hot air” as Sharoney calls it, BUT do you ever listen? Not to others talk, no, she doesn’t mean that… Do you EVER listen to your own BS?! Do you ever stop to listen to the words that come out of your own mouth? That’s exactly what Sharoney will ask you in her talk – “Seven ‘Perfect’ Lies”.
A few words from Sharoney about her talk at BIG…
What are those Seven “Perfect” Lies that you keep telling yourself that keep you from playing your top game? Because you see, that’s what we do, ALL OF US. We tell ourselves perfect lies that make us stay put, feeling “there is no choice” and so life goes on. Nothing BIG happens.
You keep doing life with minor changes, minor growth and you tell yourself: “It’s good, it’s OK”, but is it? Really?
Let me ask you something, would you be OK listening to your kids lying to you every day? Your parents? Your wife? Your boyfriend? Would you be OK with your boss lying to you every day? No?! Then why are you OK with lying to yourself EACH AND EVERY DAY? WHY?!
If you feel a little uncomfortable now, that’s good. Some part of you knows that you are reaching the end of your rope. Enough. Yes, ENOUGH!
I’m Sharoney Rubinstein and I am a life mentor, a bestselling author, entrepreneur and real estate investor. My talk at the Beginning Investors Group will shed a huge light on those PERFECT lies and make you see what truth needs to be said for you to start playing your TOP NOTCH GAME!
In this special presentation, we will see the 7 most common lies we talk ourselves into and HOW sneakily we actually do it (it will blow your mind!) and why are those lies so common to most humans.
We will also learn how to catch ourselves from getting “fake reassurance” from our friends and family who often just tell us what we want to hear. We need to “catch” ourselves while we do it.
-
“Baby, it’s not going to be so bad if I eat this cake now…. I mean I did work out yesterday and this morning, right?”
-
“Yes, it’s not that bad…”
Do you ever do that? Ask for “fake reassurance” while you know they will give it to you. You also know the very next moment that you should not even have asked.
Does it happen in business? Yes, all the time. We tell ourselves lies and then look for people who will support those lies.
I will teach you a simple, yet very clever trick to use when you feel you are sabotaging your way up.
We all have patterns, but do we know them? Are we aware how predictable we are? And if we could, what’s to prevent us from repeating those patterns again and again?
Let’s start by getting to the BIG Event on Monday, April 15th at 5PM at the Hudson Grille in Sandy Springs. Or you already have a good “lie” as to why you don’t really need to be there? ;)
If you aren’t getting everything you want out of real estate and life and you think it might be YOU getting in your own way, be sure to catch this special edition of the Beginning Investors Group with Mentor Sharoney and learn now to stop the lies and play your top game! RSVP NOW!
The Beginning Investors Group (BIG) is an educational and networking group for new investors who are just getting started in real estate investing as well as “new again” real estate investors who’ve taken a few years off and are looking to get back in the game.
BIG is hosted by Dustin Griffin who will be bringing in local and national real estate experts to teach new investors how to survive and thrive in our ever changing economy and real estate market.The entire purpose of the group is to help new investors get their first deal and help new again investors get their next deal.
This is a “dinner” group and we kindly request that you buy dinner and/or drinks since the Hudson Grille allows us to meet there. There will be lots of learning and lots of networking. Bring your deals and your haves, wants and needs to the meeting for discussion.
As always, Atlanta REIA Member can attend the meeting at no charge and not-yet-members can RSVP Online for $15 or pay $20 at the door.

Onsite Renovation Group Meets on April 16, 2019 at Major Rehab in Hapeville, GA

Major Rehab in Hapeville!

Atlanta Area Renovation Projects
Please join us on Tuesday, April 16th at NOON for the Atlanta REIA Onsite Renovation Group (ORG) to learn all about finding, funding, fixing and flipping houses (or holding) for big profits right here in the metro Atlanta area.
This month’s meeting will be held at 3415 Hamilton Ave, Hapeville, GA which is a property being rehabbed by Andy Bloch and Joshua Sledge. When we visited this house back in May of 2018, it was just a foundation and a 2×4 frame shell of a house with no roof and nothing else.
Andy says… “We bought this house from another investor who was over his head. With the purchase came a set of building plans that were already approved by the city. Once Josh and I started working on the house, we modified it, buy popping the top and adding two dormers with a bedroom each upstairs. The original plans called for a ranch style home. With the second floor addition, we are going to end up with roughly 2500 sqft. We purchased the property for 80k, intend to put roughly 190k into it and sell it between $375 – 400K.”
Come join us at the Onsite Renovation Group and learn more about the details of deal and see the amazing transformation as it progresses. There is much to be learned from this case study when it comes to working with contractors. RSVP Now!
