Wealth with the Financial Calculator

Posted on February 21, 2013 by

Folks,

HP 10BII Financial CalculatorThis Saturday – February 23, 2013, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. – Kim and I will be teaching investors how to use their financial calculator.

It ain’t sexy, and I know you’re probably thinking it’s boring stuff.  The truth is, a financial calculator is an investor’s MOST valuable tool!  It’s the tool that you can use at the seller’s kitchen table to help you determine whether the deal is a killer or a stinker.  It also helps you turn good deals into great deals!

Below is a link to  where you’ll find full information about this seminar.  It includes four deal-structuring problems.  See if you know the answers.

We look forward to seeing your smiling face.  And remember: We LOVE questions!!!  Questions make us all smarter!

Atlanta REIA Meeting on Feb 4, 2013

Posted on February 1, 2013 by
Mon, February 4th at 5:30 PM @ Crowne Plaza Ravinia, Atlanta
Atlanta REIA Main Meeting
with Bill Cook on
“How to Earn Mail Box Money”
at the Crowne Plaza Ravinia on February 4th
Atlanta REIA Members Can Attend at No Charge.
Guests Can RSVP Online Now for $15 or Pay $20 at the Door.

Bill CookAtlanta REIA is very excited to announce that local real estate investing expert and leader of North Georgia REIA, Bill Cook, will be speaking at our Atlanta REIA Main Meeting on February 4th at the Crowne Plaza Ravinia in Atlanta which starts at 5:30 PM.

Bill Cook and his wife Kim have been investing in real estate in Georgia for over 18 years. They own a fair number of single-family rental homes, they flip houses, plus they do a lot of note and option deals. But the one unique thing they do that gives them the highest yields on their investment dollars and jam packs their mailbox with money is their mobile home investments… that’s right, they buy ugly, used trailers!

For example, they buy a used mobile home in a mobile home park for around $3,000, do a quick clean up and fix up, then sell it for $9,000 with $500 down at 18% interest with payments of around $275 per month for around 4 years. The results of this simple deal are eye-popping! They quickly turn $3,000 into $12,000 while getting a yield of around 100%! Try matching these results with ANY other type of real estate investing vehicle. And here’s the best part, you don’t need a lot of money and there is very little competition!

Join us at our February meeting if you want to see real-world examples – including pictures and paperwork – of what Bill and Kim do to earn their mailbox money and how they do it! There is no fluff… it will be all meat and potatoes!

  • Why do Lonnie Deals?
  • What is a Lonnie Deal and how does it work?
  • How do you find the right mobile homes to buy?
  • Which mobile home deals should you avoid?
  • How to work with park owners?
  • How to find sellers?
  • How to buy a “trailer”?
  • How to sell a “mobile home”?
  • What to do if the buyer doesn’t pay you?
  • When is the best time to do Lonnie Deals?
  • Examples of real deals that Bill and Kim have done…
  • And much more!

Come spend the evening with Bill on February 4th and let him teach you how to earn all the mailbox money you can handle in 2013! Also, be sure to check out Bill’s two latest articles on mobile home investing:

  1. Which Type of Real Estate Investing Deal Has The Highest Yield?
  2. Are You An Eagle Or An Oyster?

Meeting-Before-The-Meeting at Total Wine & More Perimeter
Foreclosure & Short Sale Group
with Bob Massey

Bob MasseyOn January 7th at 3 PM, Bob Massey will be having his quarterly meeting at Total Wine & More located at 124 Perimeter Center W (see map). Bob will be giving a presentation you don’t want to miss! He is going to be going over the details of a $875,000 short sale he just closed that most investors would have abandoned months ago. Instead of giving up, he modified his strategies and ended up making more than if everything had gone according to the original plan! He is also going to be discussing mortgage fraud, securitization issues, and foreclosures. The banks have been defrauding homeowners for years, and we now have a way to use that to fight back against the banks and do some pretty incredible deals while helping underwater homeowners across the country.

New Year’s Party After the Meeting – FREE Food!
