Dorsie BoddifordDorsie Boddiford is a full-time real estate investor. Upon graduating from Georgia Tech with a degree in Building Construction, she took the risk to become a full-time, real estate investing entrepreneur and purchased her first house. She has built a business out of flipping houses while striving towards financial freedom with investments. Her deals include purchases at foreclosure auctions and tax deed sales, negotiations for owner-financing, deals through door knocking and mail outs, as well as deals with other investors through wrap mortgages, hard money loans, and equity participation.

Dorsie’s investments also include a focus on wealth building through retirement accounts and she recently released her book “The Solo 401k: The Entrepreneur’s Guide to a Powerful Pension Plan” that she co-wrote with her father, Dyches Boddiford. Becoming an active investor was no easy task, but Dorsie has no regrets with her real estate career. She enjoys helping and encouraging other new investors who are eager to begin their journey out of the rat race. Her early successes have made her appreciate the power of working for herself.

Wholesaling 101 Workshop
With Russ Hiner on April 21, 2012 from 9AM – 5PM
At 1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Ste D, Buford, GA

SOLD OUT. No More Registrations Please.

Russ HinerWholesaling is a great strategy for making quick cash, low risk, without the use of your credit, income, or money (when done correctly). Wholesaling real estate is among the most popular investment strategies because anyone can do it — you don’t need a real estate license or a lot of money to start. And once you start, it’s nearly impossible to keep the money from pouring into your bank account.

This is the Atlanta REIA Wholesale 101 Workshop taught by Russ Hiner. We will teach you the 2012 wholesale strategies you need to succeed. There is no need for you to have money out of your pocket or credit, you do no repairs or work yourself and they are usually done in a few days or weeks.

We will take you step by step through the entire process of how to Wholesale real estate. All applicable forms and agreements with filled out examples are included.

Peter Fortunato, Dyches Boddiford, & Bill Cook present

Seats are limited. REGISTER NOW!

Pete Fortunato, Dyches Boddiford and Bill CookPete Fortunato, Dyches Boddiford and Bill Cook, who combined have nearly 100 years of Creative Real Estate Investing experience, will present their full-day, one-of-a-kind What Box? – The Seminar

THE STORY:

This nothing-like-it-before seminar was brought to life with a phone call. Bill called Pete with a question about a complicated deal he was working on. A few days later, after getting it closed, Bill sent Pete a nice letter thanking him for his terrific thinking-outside-the-box advice. Pete replied with a simple, two-word email. It read: What Box? It was classic Pete!

THE LESSON:

All deals are possible There Is No Box!

As an investor, what is your most valuable tool? Imagination! And imagination will die if kept in a box – if you’ve been in a government building, then you know what we mean. To thrive, your imagination must be allowed to run free so it can create new ways of structuring win-win deals.

A lesson to remember: Deals aren’t found. Opportunities are found; deals are structured!

One of the biggest problems investors face is trying to put together a deal using boilerplate thinking and boilerplate documents. Sadly – for most investors – if the square peg doesn’t fit in the round hole, they give up on the deal. Their inside-the-box thinking keeps them from achieving the huge level of success that’s right at their fingertips…if only they would…..

What Box? – The Seminar is about helping you see different ways a deal can be creatively constructed without using institutional financing. It’s about you realizing that there is no box!

Why attend this seminar? Combined, Pete, Dyches and Bill, have been investing in real estate for nearly 100 years – that’s a ton of real-world experience! If you want to learn how to do your deals better, if you want to be able to make the impossible deals possible, then this is your gotta-be-there-event!

We’re looking for serious real estate investors who are ready to move to the next level – who want to see what’s behind the curtain. Is this YOU? We only have 80 seats. When they’re gone, they’re gone…and they’ll be gone quickly! Read More→
