We are excited to announce Property Management Expert, David Tilney, will be our guest speaker at Atlanta REIA on November 5th at the Crowne Plaza Ravinia Hotel located at 4355 Ashford Dunwoody Road in Atlanta, GA. David has been involved in the real estate business since 1978 and property management since 1981. He has invested in rentals, notes, foreclosures, tax sales, IRS liens and leasehold interests. David has become the “go to” guy for management of single family homes and loves being a landlord. He looks forward to hearing from his tenants, but often feels like the Maytag repairman who rarely gets a call.

As a landlord or a potential landlord, do you have questions on any of the following issues?

• Security deposits
• Property showings
• Rent collection and late fees
• Lease vs. month-to-month
• Property inspections
• Fair Housing
• Re-keying locks
• “Make-ready’s” and capital improvements
• Pets
• Applicant screening & background checks
• Rent increases
• Evictions
• Tenant property damage

If you answered “Yes” to any of these issues, be sure to attend the Atlanta REIA Meeting on November 5th and be part of the discussion! David will answer questions, brainstorm problems and force you to think about your rental business in new ways. He will share ideas about how to increase income, decrease expenses and generate more free time.

Here’s what a few local real estate experts have to say about David Tilney…

“If you are going to be successful in real estate investing, you need to have good landlording skills. David Tilney has the best landlording system around and is well worth learning, if you are a serious investor.” – Dyches Boddiford

David is a wonderful teacher… a real been-there-and-done-that landlording guy. He teaches like no one else. His ideas are unique. David will help you become a better, smarter, more successful landlord.” – Bill Cook
