Property Protege Group CoachingChristine GriffinDon DeRosa Wed, Jan 7th at 7PM: Join us at the Property Protege Group  EVERY Wednesday at 7PM with Don DeRosa & Christine Griffin at Keller Williams, 1960 Satellite Blvd, Ste 1500, Duluth, GA. Please back in back and come in the back door of the building.

Tonight is not a “Class”. It is a Reset!

Tonight you will build a real execution plan for 2026 and leave with zero confusion about what to do next week.

In this session, you will:

  • Lock in one clear real estate strategy instead of chasing everything
  • Set real income and deal targets for 2026, not guesses
  • Break those targets into weekly actions you can execute
  • Build a marketing plan with a real budget and clear lead sources
  • Learn how to track offers, deals, and follow-up the right way
  • Understand why most investors stall and how this room prevents that
  • Commit to a weekly execution system you will run every Wednesday

This is where talk stops.

You will write.
You will commit.
You will leave with a binder that becomes your operating system for the year.

If you show up without intention, you will feel exposed.
If you show up ready to work, this room will change your year.

Bring your focus.
Bring your honesty.
Bring your willingness to be coached.

Execution starts tonight. I hope you will join us!

How to Cash In On The Next Real Estate Market Correction
with Andy Heller & Alan Cowgill

Atlanta REIA Members & Guests Can
Register for This Special Webinar at NO CHARGE!

Alan CowgillAndy HellerWe have scheduled a special online meeting with Andy Heller and Alan Cowgill on ZOOM WEBINAR on the topic of “Cashing In On The Next Real Estate Market Reset”. Atlanta REIA Members and Guests are invited to attend at no charge. RSVP NOW!

What’s the easiest way to get rich in real estate? Many successful investors will say the best way is to buy in bulk as real estate markets soften and values fall. While this is a great tip, how exactly does one prepare for such an opportunity?

Let’s start with a little history lesson so we can understand the pattern and prepare:

  • Late 1980s Savings and loan collapse – Real estate market resets, and investors get crazy discounts for 1 to 2 years
  • 1999 dot.com bubble burst – Short recession, real estate reset, and investors clean up
  • 2008 Great Recession – Massive correction throughout USA, 2 to 4 years real estate sale, prepared investors made millions
  • 2026… the next reset – YOU can be the next investor to make money hand over fist if you’re READY

Studying history above shows a clear pattern of resets followed by drops in property values, and investors ready to POUNCE can make millions acquiring properties at generational low points, then sit back and watch as values recover and the investor who was ready to act when the reset came made tons of money.

These resets do not just organically occur. There are historical signs, hints, that a reset is coming. The two biggest indicators are mortgage delinquencies and foreclosure starts. Each historical reset was preceded by these signs, or indicators. So, what are the statistics telling us today?

Below is hot off the press courtesy of Auction.com

  • The Serious Delinquency Rate (mortgages 90+ days past due) Q3 is up 4% from a year ago. It was the fifth consecutive quarter with a year-over-year increase.
  • Completed foreclosure auctions in Q3 2025 are up 35% from a year ago.

National educators Alan Cowgill and Andy Heller will be our special guests for an entire hour to discuss preparing for and making tons of money when the real estate market resets. The tools to do this will include their areas of expertise… REOs, Raising Private Money for Investing, Wholesaling, Rent-Smart Lease Options, Flipping, and Long-Term Buy & Holds.

Danielle ReedOur next Atlanta REIA Main Meeting & Vendor Tradeshow on Monday, January 12th from 5:30PM-9PM at the City of Light located at 3125 Presidential Pkwy, Atlanta, GA with Danielle Reed on “How Investors Can Help Solve the Current Housing Crisis with Accessible Co-Living”.

Danielle says… “I buy, make accessible, and rent by the room, primarily to people with workman’s comp. I’ll be talking mostly about how building with universal design principles opens up your buyer/renter pool to everyone and how you don’t have to make properties accessible to attract those that need accessibility. Just make them easy to change. I also talk about how to market properties in a way that attracts those that need those features but doesn’t exclude everyone else.”

About Your Speaker

Danielle Reed (RN, CLCP) brings a unique perspective to real estate—one shaped by 20 years of working with people facing catastrophic injuries and disabilities. She spent 18 years in critical care rehabilitation nursing, specializing in brain and spinal cord injuries, followed by two years in dementia care. Those experiences revealed a critical gap: housing that works for people with mobility challenges.

In 2007, Danielle launched Comforts of Home, offering short-term rentals for families navigating medical crises. By 2017, she expanded with Accessible Suites, focusing exclusively on handicap-accessible properties rented by the room. Today, she bridges healthcare and real estate, helping builders, realtors, and investors understand that adaptability beats accessibility—properties designed to easily modify attract a wider market without boxing anyone out.

Danielle’s mission is simple: equip the real estate industry with the tools to build and market universal design properties that serve everyone today and adapt to changing needs tomorrow.
