Learn About Networking – Your Not So Secret Weapon – at Marketing Madness
Posted on September 22, 2020 by
Your Not So Secret Weapon That You Must Maximize!
Join us at the Marketing Madness Event on Thursday, September 24th at 7PM ET ONLINE via Zoom Webinar with Frank Iglesias who will be discussing “Networking – Your Not So Secret Weapon That You Must Maximize” to reach buyers, sellers, funders, partners and anyone else you need on your dream team.
Networking, simple right? Everyone knows how to talk to people right? Nothing could be further from the truth. Reality is we go to school for 13 years to get a high school degree and maybe another 4-10 to get one or numerous college degrees and still may not know how to network effectively. Yet networking is one of the most powerful tools at your fingertips every single day.
Yet, very few people know how to use it, much less use it effectively. This presentation is to talk about people and how networking with others effectively. This all too often unused form of marketing has the ability to change the impact your business can make every day.
Frank will discuss…
- It’s all about the relationship
- Stop asking for so much stuff all the time! Give instead!
- Why referrals stink and introductions are great
- Why taking someone out to lunch is the worst thing you could offer them.
- Thinking long term in every deal conversation you have
- Answers to your questions and a whole lot more!
You do not want to miss this session! Everyone talks about the house needs this much work and the ARV and the MAO, blah, blah, blah. Yet that only counts for no more than 20% of what matters in every transaction. 80%+ is about the people, the people, the people and if you know how to network, you can get a lot of people on your side. Isn’t that what you want?
Register Now and join us on the webinar and we’ll discuss how to do all of this and more!
Atlanta REIA, Tampa REIA, Chattanooga REIA & Savannah REIA Members can currently Register for the Webinar at for $5. Not-Yet-Members can Register for the Webinar for $25 or Join Atlanta REIA for Only $100/year!
Marketing Madness is hosted by Dustin Griffin & Frank Iglesias who will be bringing in local and national real estate experts and marketers each month to teach investors how to consistently market for deals in order to survive and thrive in our ever changing economy and real estate market. The entire purpose of the group is to teach investors how to be Marketers, aka “Lead Generating Machines”, so they can have an unlimited source of leads and potential income.

Due Diligence Workshop on Sept 12, 2020 Live and In Person in Tampa or Online
Posted on September 10, 2020 byAn Hands-On Workshop for Any Investor Who Wants to Know & Understand Their Numbers Like a Pro, Especially with All the Changes as a Result of Covid-19!
with Don DeRosa
Doubletree on Tampa Bay

& ONLINE for Those Who Can’t Attend In Person
When it comes to running a profitable real estate investing business, the name of the game has always been about knowing your numbers and what makes a deal profitable or not. That will especially be true in the upcoming months when our uncertain economy begins to change. And we’ve already seen many changes for labor and materials since Covid-19 hit. Are you accounting for these changes when you run your numbers?
You’ve probably heard the saying… “You make your money when you buy and you get paid when you sell”. This means YOU MUST KNOW YOUR NUMBERS BEFORE YOU BUY SO THAT YOU WILL GET PAID WHEN YOU SELL!
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 of 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, especially now?
- 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, especially now that building materials have skyrocketed and contractors are extremely busy?
- 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, Due Diligence Workshop with Don DeRosa on Saturday, September 12th, 2020 from 9AM to 5PM at the Doubletree Suites located at 3050 North Rocky Point Dr West in Tampa, FL and Online via Zoom Webinar for those who cannot attend in person.
At this Workshop, You will Learn:
- How to become a transaction engineer
- How to determine the different types of property values and why there are two different ARV’s for every property
- Using different property valuation models
- Reliable sources of “comparable” information data
- How to find and run comparables
- How to decide which comparables to use and which to ignore
- How to be a problem solver to create win-win deals for everyone
- 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
- How to inspect the property
- How to determine what kinds of repairs are needed based on your exit strategy
- How to estimate the costs of repairs based on your exit strategy especially now that building materials are climbing due to the supply and demand of the Covid-19 pandemic

- Checking title and solving title flaws
- Pitfalls to Avoid
- All this, answers to your questions & so much more!

Learn the Secret to Buying REOs Before They Hit MLS, Flipping Some for Quick Cash & Goldmining Others with Rent Smart Lease Purchases
with Special Guest, Andy Heller
Register at AREIA.us/Online.
Real Estate in this country can be purchased for PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR for investors who know how to find them, how to fund the purchases, and how to sell or lease the properties when purchased. Learn how to be one of those investors at Atlanta REIA!
Mortgage delinquencies are peaking now, just like they did back in 2007 and 2008. Remember how that led to a spike in REOs, and investors who were prepared made hundreds of thousands of dollars acquiring properties for pennies on the dollar in 2009 and 2010? We are seeing similar patterns once again today!
Over the next 12 – 24 months real estate investors who are prepared for this, who know where and how to find REOs, how to finance these purchases, how to flip and lease purchase them, will be in a position to make hundreds of thousands of dollars in a generational opportunity. If you can devote 2-4 hours per week to looking for properties, we can show you how to make it happen.
The “Buy Low, Rent Smart, Sell High” investment strategy was featured by Fortune Magazine. Come and learn why at the upcoming Atlanta REIA Online Webinar on Monday, September 14th from 6PM – 9PM with Special Guest Speaker, Andy Heller!
Join us at Atlanta REIA and you will learn how to buy properties for pennies on the dollar and marketing strategies for wholesaling, flipping, and holding the properties once purchased.
- What type of properties to buy, residential and commercial
- How to find the foreclosures BEFORE they are listed by real estate agents (on MLS)
- Marketing your properties to flip and create instant cash
- Marketing your properties to hold and create a nest egg for your future
- Selling your properties without discounting or using a real estate agent
A few examples of student success stories that Andy gives are:
- Donald Kung made $15,000 on his first REO, wholesaling it without using any of his own money
- John and Michelle Authement purchased their first bank-owned foreclosure, and had it lease/purchased 2 HOURS AFTER closing!
- Hans van der Kolk made $168,000 in just 4 months buying REOs, flipping two properties and lease optioning a 3rd.
- Jim Kincer is making $500/month on his first lease/purchase
- Sophie Ravenel purchased her first foreclosure worth $118,000 for just $55,000, 50 cents on the dollar
Many experts, such as Andy, are predicting the real estate opportunity of a lifetime headed our way. Register to Attend Now and come learn from the nation’s leading expert on REOs and Lease Options! We hope to see you there!

The property was initially built in the 1930’s as a 1035 sqft, 2 bedroom, 1 bath house. When Talat and Farzenna purchased it from the Godfather of Wholesaling, the house was full of mold, rotten wood everywhere including the floor. Walking in the house at the time wasn’t even safe.
Talat says “We had to do a full gut job down to the core (complete rehab) including a new subfloor. We also added approximately 300 sqft. We had to tear down walls to make open floor plan, got rid of the fire place which was in the middle of the house and converted it from a 2/1 to 3/2 with vaulted ceiling, a new deck, front porch, extended driveway and fence all the way around. Come check it out!”
Come join us at Onsite, learn all about rehabbing, the lessons learned on this project and take a walk through of Talat and Farzenna’s rehab!
