Frank IglesiasIf you are looking for more ways to generate MOTIVATED SELLER LEADS, be sure to join us along with our special guest speaker, Frank Iglesias, at the Atlanta REIA West Group at 6:00pm on Monday, September 23rd at The Cherokee Cattle Company located at 2710 Canton Rd in Marietta.

You might have heard the rumor that “Direct Mail is Dead!” There are a lot of opinions out there, right or wrong, on what is working and what is not when it comes to generating motivated seller leads.

Join us at the Atlanta REIA West Meeting if you wanna know “What Marketing is Working NOW!” according to our very own Frank Iglesias who is a local real estate expert, wholesaler, rehabber and builder.

Frank will discuss…

  • Why People Love to Talk to Strangers
    People value the one-on-one vs a piece of paper. How friendly interactions can increase your deal count.

  • Don’t Be a Social Media Stalker – How to Interact Effectively
    Do you catch yourself watching people’s stories and thinking to yourself that you like their posts but don’t like or comment? This hinders the start of many great business relationships.

  • Networking – Pay Attention! There is Power Right Under Your Nose
    How networking with Rockstars can make your profits soar.

  • Answers to your questions and more!

RSVP NOW & DON’T MISS IT!

MARKET DOMINATION
& Your Blueprint for Creating Higher After Repair Values for Your Flips
with Vicky Schettini
Atlanta REIA Members Can Attend at No Charge.
Guests Pay $15 Online or $20 at the Door. RSVP Now!

Vicky SchettiniJoin us at the Beginning Investors Group (BIG) on Monday, September 16th at 6:30PM at the Hudson Grille in Sandy Springs located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs with our special guest, Vicky Schettini, who will be discussing “Market Domination” and your blueprint determining successful After Repair Values for your flips.

“My name is Vicky Schettini an I’m a single mom. For the majority of my life I’ve lived in California where home values always seemed to be on the rise with the exception of when the market crashed. In 2014, I was suffering from “empty nest syndrome” and decided to move to Jackson, MS to be closer to my daughter.

Mississippi is a “non-disclosure” state, meaning not all real estate transactions and sales prices are disclosed to the public. Calculating After Repair Value (ARV) in these areas is an ongoing challenge where either property sales are not disclosed, market value fluctuates to the extremes, or if you’re in a stagnant market. You can determine values in all of these areas. More value for your flips = More money!

I have creatively been able to show and increase property values of my flips and I’m coming to the Beginning Investors Group to teach you how to do it. Once you learn how to do this, it will be second nature and part of your normal routine in all your transactions.

Upon moving to Jackson, MS, I had some trial and tribulations that left me homeless with only $500 to my name. I moved to Jackson to build my wealth and needed the security of passive income. I set out my goals 4 and 1/2 years ago and went after them hard. I had to be very creative to succeed. Since moving here, property values have more than quadrupled.

Now, only a few years later, I have 3 companies, over 100 single family homes and 5 multi-family complexes. I have done over 1000 transactions and over 72 million in Real Estate. The system I created works… What I am doing works! I am living proof of it. You don’t have to re-invent it, just use my system that actively works if you do.

Join me at BIG where I will discuss “Market Domination!”

I will teach you:

  1. How to create comps
  2. How to increase property values in an area
  3. How to get the appraiser to easily give the value needed
  4. How to make more money with higher values
  5. I’ll also answer all your questions as time permits

YOU CAN DO THIS!!! My system is easy and you can start making money right away. You just have to do it! You can even do it part-time, full-time. DO WIT (Whatever it Takes)! RSVP NOW and I will see you at BIG and do my best to help you along your way to success!”

Amy RansdellPlans for the house are to increase the square footage and add on to the entire rear of the house to create a mudroom, laundry, walk-in pantry, open-concept vaulted ceiling kitchen/living/dining, and a complete master with en suite bath. New plans also include a change in the roof elevation, addition of eaves and architectural details, and enclosing the garage.

At Onsite, Amy will walk us through the project as the demolition begins. Amy will also show us how to read a survey and architectural plans and provide copies for to everyone to read along with us.

About 4 1/2 years ago, Vicky packed her bags, left California and headed to Jackson, MS to create her real estate investing empire. Things didn’t go as planned at all. Due to a series of unfortunate events, Vicky ended up homeless in Jackson with only $500 to her name. To survive, she had to get really creative and do “whatever it takes (WIT)!”

Today, only a few short years later, she has 3 companies, over 100 single family homes and 5 multi-family complexes. She has done over 1000 transactions and over 72 million in Real Estate. The system she created not only enabled helped her survive, but it helped her thrive faster than she ever thought possible!

Vicky Schettini

Posted on September 5, 2019 by

Vicky SchettiniFour years ago, I was homeless. Now, I’m building homes for other people.

In 2012, I found myself working from paycheck-to-paycheck with ONLY $25 a month to spare. As a single mom, I wanted financial security for my child and I. I set out to make the right connections. I learned how flip homes in California. Although I had early success, legal expenses from the divorce were extracting all the profits. Undeterred, I was determined to build wealth and my legacy for my family. In 2074, my daughter graduated high school and started her new chapter going to LSUA. I was now one of the many women who have the empty-nest syndrome. I took a leap of faith and relocated to Jackson, MS to be closer to my only daughter. After several setbacks that left me homeless, I was finally able to close my first home with only $500 left to my name.

In 2018, I founded WIT (Whatever It Takes) Property Finders. I was already on track to accomplish my financial freedom building my wealth and legacy. From those humble beginnings, I stayed focused
and driven. I own and owned several multi-family complexes, over 700 SFRs (Single Family Residences), retail and commercial buildings. In the last four years, I have executed over 7,000 traditional and non-traditional transactions ranging from flips, buy and holds, notes, wraps, partials, and wholesales of single-family residences, multi-family, storage units, mobile home parks, retail and commercial buildings all combine totaling over $72 million in real estate.

Currently, I am the author of “Investing Real Estate Secrets,” set to launch in August of 2019. My most recent accomplishment, I have completed my offer, “Wealth and Empowerment – Real Estate for Financial Freedom” product. My goal is to use my product and all of the knowledge I’ve gained over the last few years to help at least one million people. Once again, I am in full speed, determined to make a difference in other peoples lives.

This month’s rehab project is located at 5674 Bradley Circle, Lithonia, GA. This rehab project, being managed by Chrissy Griffin, was a fire damaged, single family home that was originally built as a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1,273 sqft home built in 1988. However, the previous homeowners converted the garage to another bedroom and 1/2 bath before the fire. You may recall that we visited this property at Onsite January 15, 2019.

Onsite PropertyChrissy had the house gutted down to the studs and all the fire damaged wood replaced. The house has now been fully restored to a 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, 1800 sqft home.

The home has a stunning open floor plan. Everything is BRAND NEW from the roof to the foundation. The home is fully staged, listed on the market and already has received multiple offers.

RSVP NOW and come join us to see the finished, fire damaged rehab and hear many of the lessons learned during this project.

Vicky SchettiniMy 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, needed the security of passive income. I set out my goals 4 and a half years ago and went after them. Things didn’t go as planned at all…

I decided to move across country from California to Jackson, MS to be closer to my only daughter. I ended up homeless in a new town where I didn’t know a single person and only had $500 to my name. I was on a mission to build my wealth through real estate investing and decided I must do “Whatever it Takes” (WIT) to succeed. This meant I had to get creative… very creative.

Today, I have 3 companies; I have over 100 single family homes and 5 multi-family complexes. I have done over 1000 transactions and over 72 million in Real Estate. The system I created not only enabled me to survive, but it helped me thrive faster than I ever imagined was possible!

In today’s market, with so much competition, you need to stand out to have your offer accepted. I had to be creative to not only stand out from others, but also to get the sellers accept my offers.

What I did then, I’m doing now, and it works! I am living proof of it. I have perfected the “The Art of the Negotiation” and I WANT TO TEACH YOU! You don’t have to re-invent it, just use my system that actively works to get owner financed deals!

Join me at the Atlanta REIA Main Meeting on Monday, September 9th from 5PM to 9PM at the 3125 Presidential Pkwy, Atlanta, GA and I will teach you my “Bullet Proof Offer!”

At the meeting, I will teach you how to:

  1. GET THE OFFER ACCEPTED
  2. Have seller want to Owner Finance you and close the deal within days
  3. Make it Simple
  4. One Page Offer is all it takes
  5. Write offers the Non-Selling Way

YOU CAN DO THIS! The way I do it is easy! You can start making money right away. Just do it! You can even do it part-time or full-time. JUST DO WIT (Whatever it Takes)!

RSVP NOW to attend the meeting and I will give you a BONUS GIFT called the “The Top 10 Real Estate Mistakes Report”. I look forward to seeing you there!

Did you win the lottery yet??? Me neither, but I create my own winnings any time I want! Learn how you can too at my brand new Wrap Wealth Blueprint Workshop on October 12th from 9AM to 5PM at 3125 Presidential Pkwy, Atlanta, GA with Atlanta REIA! The system I will teach you at the workshop will work in an up market or a down market, but works even better when the market goes down.

Vicky SchettiniHi, my name is Vicky Schettini. I am a single mom and in 2014 I was suffering empty nest syndrome, living paycheck to paycheck with only $25.00 to spare. I knew I needed the security of passive income. I set out my goals 4 1/2 ago and went after them.

I decided to move across the country from California to Jackson, MS to be closer to my daughter, but the move didn’t go as planned and I ended up homeless with only $500 to my name. I was on a mission to get out of my rut and to succeed in real estate investing. I had to get very creative with my real estate transactions to find a new home and to succeed.

Today, I have 3 companies, over 100 single family homes and 5 multi-family complexes. I have done over 1000 transactions and over 72 million in Real Estate. The system I created not only enabled me to survive, but it helped me thrive faster than I ever imagined was possible!

My system works! What I am doing works! I am living proof of it. I have perfected different ways to earn income in Real Estate, especially when your light on cash, and I WANT TO TEACH YOU! You don’t have to re-invent the wheel, just use my system that actively works day in and day out.

At the Workshop, I’m going to focus on a technique I use called WRAPS. Wraps are a HIDDEN SECRET that most investors don’t know anything about. They are easy to do and they are very lucrative.

At the Wraps Workshop, I will teach you…

  1. What is a “Wrap” vs a “Subject To”
  2. How to do a Wrap
  3. How to Do Subject To’s
  4. A blueprint to the system that will also work when the market is down.
  5. Become a lender using OPM (Other People’s Money)
  6. Answers to all your questions and more!

YOU CAN DO THIS!! Wraps are and easy way to start making money right away. Just do it! You can even do it part-time or you can do it full-time. Either way, you will create your own DESTINY and WEALTH!

Sign up now and come join me on Saturday, October 12th from 9AM to 5PM at 3125 Presidential Pkwy, Atlanta, GA to learn this exciting, creative way to buy and sell houses! I can’t wait to see you there!
