Georgette BlackOnsite PropertyPlease join us on Tuesday, June 18th at NOON for the Atlanta REIA Onsite Renovation Group (ORG) to learn all about finding, funding, fixing and flipping houses (or holding) for big profits right here in the metro Atlanta area. This month’s meeting will be held at property being rehabbed by Georgette Black located at 2072 Dekalb Ave NE, Atlanta, GA.

Onsite PropertyThis is Georgette’s first rehab project. She purchased this home as a 1950’s cottage that was only 963 sqft with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and in terrible condition in the Great Lake Clair Neighborhood. The plot she purchased was part of 7 being sold and this was actually split into 2 plots and she purchased the larger of the two with the house on it.

Because the home was in such terrible shape, Georgette had to do a complete rehab and tear the house down to the foundation. She has turned it into a 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath, 3500 sqft home with a 2 car garage. It has a huge front porch, a large rear deck and an open floor plan throughout.

The house should be completed and staged by the time we visit the property on June 18th. So RSVP Now and come check out this MASSIVE Rehab project being completed by a 1st time rehabber!

Building Your Flip Team for the
NFL = New Flip League
with Ron Dimmock

Ron DimmockJoin us at the Beginning Investors Group (BIG) on Monday, May 20th at 6:30PM at the Hudson Grille in Sandy Springs located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs with Ron Dimmock on “Building Your Flip Team for the NFL… the New Flip League!”

Ron says… “You’ve probably heard how exciting flipping can be as well as how scary it can be. Flipping is not for everyone, but if done right and connected with a strong network of players, you can win the big game and become the Tom Brady of flipping in your community or surrounding areas.

There is a lot to do before choosing areas of interest or making offers. Flipping is not about one deal or even two deals working. It’s about being consistent across the board. Consistency brings lower fees better pricing and more profits on the back end. You must educate and do the work on the front end so that you can win on the back end.”

Join Ron at the Beginning investor group and he will teach you…

  • The first steps you need to take as a new or seasoned investor
  • The education and funding needed to draft your team of players (contractors, agents, wholesalers, lenders, subcontractors, etc) needed to win in the big flipping game
  • How to pick and choose your team of contractors, agents, wholesalers, lenders and subcontractors needed to start and possibly trade during the game
  • What signs to look for during the Game (the Renovation) that you should watch out for
  • Playing Inside the City vs Outside the City
  • Determining Realistic Flip Goals for the Year (your Stats)
  • Answers to all your questions about playing in the New Flip League (NFL) and more!

If you want to build a winning team and map out realistic goals for flipping or buy and hold team for the next 12 months and beyond, you definitely do not want to miss this special Beginning Investors Group Meeting with Ron Dimmock. Take Action and RSVP Now!

Sharoney RubinsteinJoin us at the Beginning Investors Group (BIG) on Monday, April 15th at 6:30PM at the Hudson Grille in Sandy Springs located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs with Sharon “Sharoney” Rubinstein on the Seven “Perfect” Lies we often tell ourselves that keep us from playing our top game in real estate and in life.

Everyone talks about potential. It’s easy to talk. It’s just “hot air” as Sharoney calls it, BUT do you ever listen? Not to others talk, no, she doesn’t mean that… Do you EVER listen to your own BS?! Do you ever stop to listen to the words that come out of your own mouth? That’s exactly what Sharoney will ask you in her talk – “Seven ‘Perfect’ Lies”.

A few words from Sharoney about her talk at BIG…

What are those Seven “Perfect” Lies that you keep telling yourself that keep you from playing your top game? Because you see, that’s what we do, ALL OF US. We tell ourselves perfect lies that make us stay put, feeling “there is no choice” and so life goes on. Nothing BIG happens.

You keep doing life with minor changes, minor growth and you tell yourself: “It’s good, it’s OK”, but is it? Really?

Let me ask you something, would you be OK listening to your kids lying to you every day? Your parents? Your wife? Your boyfriend? Would you be OK with your boss lying to you every day? No?! Then why are you OK with lying to yourself EACH AND EVERY DAY? WHY?!

If you feel a little uncomfortable now, that’s good. Some part of you knows that you are reaching the end of your rope. Enough. Yes, ENOUGH!

I’m Sharoney Rubinstein and I am a life mentor, a bestselling author, entrepreneur and real estate investor. My talk at the Beginning Investors Group will shed a huge light on those PERFECT lies and make you see what truth needs to be said for you to start playing your TOP NOTCH GAME!

In this special presentation, we will see the 7 most common lies we talk ourselves into and HOW sneakily we actually do it (it will blow your mind!) and why are those lies so common to most humans.

We will also learn how to catch ourselves from getting “fake reassurance” from our friends and family who often just tell us what we want to hear. We need to “catch” ourselves while we do it.

  • “Baby, it’s not going to be so bad if I eat this cake now…. I mean I did work out yesterday and this morning, right?”

  • “Yes, it’s not that bad…”

Do you ever do that? Ask for “fake reassurance” while you know they will give it to you. You also know the very next moment that you should not even have asked.

Does it happen in business? Yes, all the time. We tell ourselves lies and then look for people who will support those lies.

I will teach you a simple, yet very clever trick to use when you feel you are sabotaging your way up.

We all have patterns, but do we know them? Are we aware how predictable we are? And if we could, what’s to prevent us from repeating those patterns again and again?

Let’s start by getting to the BIG Event on Monday, April 15th at 5PM at the Hudson Grille in Sandy Springs. Or you already have a good “lie” as to why you don’t really need to be there? ;)

If you aren’t getting everything you want out of real estate and life and you think it might be YOU getting in your own way, be sure to catch this special edition of the Beginning Investors Group with Mentor Sharoney and learn now to stop the lies and play your top game! RSVP NOW!
