Robert WoodruffRobert Woodruff has been investing in real estate for over 15 years, is the President of the Charleston SC Real Estate Investors Association (Charleston REIA), and a national speaker, and author of several training programs for investors such as “How to Find Killer Deals” & “The Keys to Cash Flow” and the new “51 Ways to Find Motivated Sellers”. Robert loves to teach people how to make money investing by showing them how to quickly and easily identify opportunities in the real estate and personal property markets. His personal goal in sharing his specialized knowledge is to help individuals retire early via buying, selling, renting and flipping real estate & personal property in a manner that is beneficial “win-win” for all parties involved.

Most savvy real estate investors and business owners agree that the bulk of their business relies on effective marketing to produce a steady flow of leads. But what happens when you learn to market well and your phone starts ringing at all hours, day or night? What’s next?

The next step is to capture information from those callers so that you can follow-up with them and convert them from “suspects” into real “prospects”. When a potential customer calls, you can have a pre-recorded message that informs them about your business and urges them to leave a brief voice mail message. You can also allow them to press “0” to speak to a live person 24/7 who can capture more useful information rather than just a name, number and brief message.

Eric ShurkeEric Shurke, of Voice Nation, will be our special guest speaker at the Atlanta REIA North Meeting on Wednesday, June 20th at 6:30 PM at 1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Suite D, in Buford, GA. Eric will be talking about how successful real estate investors leverage automated voice mail systems and live answering specialists to capture leads 24/7 effortlessly so they can work smarter and not harder to earn more money.

Hello everyone,

Larry HarboltWhat did you think about the fantastic job Larry Harbolt did for us on Saturday teaching how to structure deals creatively without going to the bank? Were the creative strategies he taught us great or what?!? After the day was over, I read the reviews given by those who attended and they said that what he showed us was not only GREAT information, but that it was NEW information many had never heard of before! He gave us information you can’t get anywhere else no matter what you have to pay for it. The strategies he taught are how the true “masters” of real estate investing do it.

Today, after some thought, I can see, even with the notes we were able to take in our short time together and for those who didn’t get his system, it is going to be nearly impossible to be able to remember all of the important details to put together some of the truly creative transactions he taught us without having Larry walk you through every step of the process.

I know from experience, if we don’t have the important details that are so essential to do profitable deals, you won’t be able to make the kind of money we all know is possible. Because Larry only had enough time to give us a snap-short of how to structure creative real estate deals, he didn’t have enough time to show us all of the details of everything we need. That’s why he teaches those much needed details in his home study courses and 4 day boot camps. Read More→

The Ultimate Fast Track to Your
Business Success Workshop

A Full Day Workshop & Strategy Session
with Larry Harbolt on June 9th, 2012

Larry HarboltRight now is the best time in modern history to buy real estate. Join Larry Harbolt on Saturday, June 4, 2012, and he will share with you his secrets on how to make money in today’s real estate market. Larry will show you what you really need to know to buy real estate profitably with only $10 down, even if you have bad credit or are bankrupt!

At this workshop, you will learn:

  • Buy real estate profitably in any market or economic cycle.
  • Learn how to buy real estate when you have No money.
  • Buy real estate when you have No good credit.
  • Learn how to create the terms to make cash today.
  • Learn how to overcome seller objections like a pro.
  • Learn the right questions that will create Golden Deals.
  • How to create extra profit out of thin air on most of your deals.
  • Never have to beg for or apply for a loan again.
  • How to buy and sell all the property you want and never use a bank.
  • How to structure offers with no payments or interest and get the seller to gladly accept. This will drive your cash flow through the roof.
  • Why you can buy millions of dollars in real estate and never have a debt show on your credit report or be personally liable for a penny.
  • Build your income stream, like the banks have, acquire free assets, without investing a dime.
  • How to change the terms of the loan months or years after the closing and make the seller ecstatic to do so.
  • Build an empire from monthly cash flow and cure negative cash flow – The secret only a handful of people know how to do.

Come and join Larry on Saturday, June 9th, 2012 for The Ultimate Fast Track to Your Business Success Workshop.

Community Buying GroupBelow is a testimonial from Mark Mackie, an Atlanta REIA Member who just saved $700 this week, the very first time he used our new Atlanta REIA Community Buying Group Member Discounts at Sherwin Williams and Lowes. Mark saved enough money to pay for his Atlanta REIA Membership for 7 Years! Congratulations Mark, we hope you keep saving big!

To William (CBG Account Representative),  

THANK YOU for your help today getting me hooked up on short notice!  With your help and key info, I walked into my Sherwin Williams store, placed my order for 40 gallons of Superpaint needed for my latest rehab, and walked out with a paint bill at least $500 LESS than what I would have paid without your help!

To make it even better, I am now hooked up at Lowe’s with the commercial account, so I expect to save at least $200 this weekend on a tub and vanity for this rehab.  That’s $700 this week I have saved with the Community Buying Group program!

It’s official! You and CBG have won “Investor Support Group of the Month”!

Mark Mackie, Investor and Member of Atlanta REIA

CBG’s Customer Service is outstanding, they went out of their way to make sure I had my new Lowe’s Account set up in less than 24 hours for purchases I needed next day. I saved $100 my first week at Lowe’s. Best of all it didn’t cost me anything to join Community Buying Group; it was included in my Atlanta REIA Membership.
