“Hi, my name is Roger Blankenship and I get more than 10,000 deals to review every month. In fact I get more than that most weeks! I’ve been at it awhile and I have a couple of methods that have taken years to develop but I also have a proven system that will also work for you – if you’re willing to work the system. In just a few months you could have 100 or more deals in your inbox every month.”
If you want MORE DEALS flowing through your pipeline, you don’t want to miss Roger’s special presentation at the Atlanta REIA West Real Estate Event at 6:00pm on Monday, August 26th at The Cherokee Cattle Company located at 2710 Canton Rd in Marietta.

Roger says, “I’m not saying you can sit back and easy money is going to pour in. You’re going to have to lay the groundwork, develop your skills, and work the system. But if you do, it won’t be long before you have more deals coming than you have time to consider.”
Everyone in attendance will have the opportunity to download Roger’s new eBook: “Fantastic Deals and Where to Find Them.” It’s coming soon to the Kindle Store, but it’s yours at no charge just for showing up!

Learn How Vicky Went from Homeless to Having Over 100 Properties in 4 Short Years on BIG Online Webinar
Posted on August 20, 2019 byTues, Aug 27th @ 7PM on Zoom Webinar
How to Overcome Adversity Through Creative Real Estate Investing
My name is Vicky Schettini. I am a single mom and in 2014 I was suffering from the empty nest syndrome. Living from paycheck to paycheck with only $25.00 to spare, I decided to build my Legacy and Wealth. I was ready to start investing in buy and hold properties. Desperately wanting and needing the security of passive income, I decided to move across country from California to Jackson, MS to be closer to my only daughter.
Things didn’t go as planned and I ended up homeless in a new town where I didn’t know a single person. I was on a mission to build my wealth and decided to do whatever it takes to succeed. I quickly started networking with anyone and everyone possible. I was laughed at and hung up on many times but failure was not an option, so I pushed on.
I finally found an investor who was willing to sell me one of his houses with owner financing. I had to be very creative in ways to come up with the down payment since I was broke. I was finally able to move into my new home and I only had $500 to my name. I taught myself how to rehab the property and put back on the market and had it rented within 4 hours! I have been creative in acquiring more properties and duplicating what I had done ever since.
In just short 4 years, I have exceeded my own goals. I own over 100 single family properties, 4 apartment complexes plus I am still to this day an active investor with a full team helping me. My portfolio continues to grow monthly. In the beginning, I didn’t have any money or credit, but that didn’t stop me from achieving my goals and dreams.
Today, my mission now is to help 1 million people just like me reach financial independence. I want to teach you what I did and how you can duplicate my system of success.
On the BIG Online Webinar I will teach you…
- Creative ways to make money right away
- The Bullet Proof Offer
- Security
- Be in the top 1% of wealthy investors
- The unstoppable mindset
- Answers to your questions and more!
If you have the drive to build your wealth, then I can easily teach you the rest. Please join me on the Beginning Investors Group Online Webinar on August 27th at 7PM ET to learn more! Register for the BIG Online Webinar Now!

with Kito J Johnson
Join us at the Beginning Investors Group (BIG) on Monday, August 19th at 6:30PM at the Hudson Grille in Sandy Springs located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs with our special guest, Kito J Johnson, who will be introducing you to “Short-Term Rentals & Long-Term Profits”.
Wholesaling and rehabbing houses will make you rich. Renting houses will make you wealthy.
Buying and selling houses is like buying and selling Golden Geese. If you wholesale or retail a Golden Goose you get paid once and then have to go find another Golden Goose to sell to stay in business.
If you keep the Golden Goose, it will lay Golden Eggs every month for many years to come until you perhaps sell it one day. If you continue to buy more Golden Geese, you will soon have a flock of geese that will make you very wealthy over time.
Now imagine you have several Golden Geese whose eggs are each worth $1200 a month as a long-term rentals. Did you know you could double or triple the value of those very same eggs as a short-term rentals without all the headaches that come with long-term tenants?
Many new investors have started banking on this relatively new, buy and hold, short-term rental strategy! Have you gotten started?
If not, come join us and find out why this rising method of real estate investing is SO popular and how you can fill your portfolio with multiple properties and fill your bank account with six-figures in your very first year!
There’s so much that goes into building a successful short-term rental business, so Kito wants to show you the right moves for a strong lift-off.
Join Kito at BIG to learn the best of the best in:
- The Starting Process
- The Most Effective Tips For Beginners (Start Like a Pro!)

Please join us on Tuesday, August 20th 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 2nd Onsite meeting will be held at 1147 To Lani Farm Rd, Stone Mountain, GA which is a rehab project we visited back in January before renovation began. See video below of what you missed.
This house is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2,170 sq ft, split level home built in 1985. At the time of purchase, the home was being used as a Section 8 rental. This project being managed by Chrissy Griffin and Alan McDaniel started out as a “light” rehab with a $40K budget but may have ended up costing closer to $55K.
The house has been completely renovated on the inside. Several walls have been removed creating a much more open floor plan. The house has a new kitchen, new baths, updated lighting and is fully staged. On the exterior, they replaced the roof, windows and doors, rebuilt the deck and repaired and painted the privacy fence and updated landscaping.
RSVP Now and come see the dramatic transformation!

Doorknocking for Dollars
Does talking to Sellers on the phone make you sweat? When you drive neighborhoods looking for ugly properties, does it stress you out because you don’t know what to look for? Does the thought of talking with Sellers face-to-face make you nervous? Do you avoid knocking on doors because you’re afraid you don’t know what to say?
These are all very common fears that all beginning investors have when seeking out their first few deals. Learning how to deal with these issues can make the difference between your success and failure.
If you would like to overcome challenges such as these, please be sure to join Don DeRosa in a two day, hands-on workshop where he will teach you…
