New Night & New Location – Bring Your Deals, Your Checkbook and Let’s Make a Deal!
Posted on October 12, 2015 byBring Your Deals & Your Checkbook
& Come Ready To Make a Deal!
Monday, October 12th at 6PM
Hudson Grille, 6317 Roswell Rd, Sandy Springs
MEETING DAY/DATE AND LOCATION HAS CHANGED
Atlanta REIA Members & Guests, Please RSVP on Meetup.com
The “Let’s Make A Deal” group is a subgroup of the Atlanta REIA led by Lynn Overall that now meets on the 2nd Monday of each month at 6PM at the Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs, GA. The focus of the group is to take new investors through the entire process of repurposing distressed home. Each home is purchased by the group and is completed as a Joint Venture. An experienced rehab investor then leads the group through the rehab process. Risk of loss is mitigated through the use of a consistent system for rehabbing homes, and through the use of experienced contractors. Our goal is to purchase a new property at each of our meetings.
During the meeting, we will identify a property, hard or private money lender, and a contractor. We will finance the deal using a participating money lender, all of whom attend the meetings. Do not leave your checkbooks at home because we buy properties at each meeting.
The sponsors of the “Let’s Make A Deal” group have successfully repurposed homes in California, Texas, Georgia, and Florida. If you are a new investor looking to be a participant in a home rehab project, then this is definitely the group for you. Please keep in mind that everyone who attends “Let’s Make A Deal” is required to participate. The minimum size of the investment will be determined by the purchase price of the home presented at the meeting.
Come on out and check out the meeting. We would love to have you join our team! We are looking forward to learning and earning with you!

Our next All Inclusive Marketing (AIM) Group Meeting is Wednesday, October 14th at 7:00PM at the Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs.
Let me ask you a couple of questions:
- How many leads are you getting a month or a week?
- Of those leads, what is your closing ration?
- How many of them do you end up buying?
- Are you using creative financing to close a high number of those leads?
- Are you turning most of those leads into profitable deals?
If the answer is NO to any of the last two questions above, this meeting is for you.
If the answer is yes, and you want to improve the number of deals you want to do or just improve the quality of your life, then this meeting is for you, too.
My very close friend, Russ Hiner is going to share a few great ideas and creative methods to do more deal with the existing leads and of course will help you learn where to get tons of new ones as well.
Below are a few things he can share with us:
- Learning when and where to creatively finance a real estate deal
- Why is it important to know more than one way to buy a house?
- Learn ways to construct a deal on a house you never own
- Learn the clauses you should use in the notes when you buy or give to sellers
- Learn a clever ways to make money selling the “rights to use!”
- You will have 5 new tools which will work in this market to make you more money!
- You will lean how money works and how to do a deal properly in order to make more money and make money without money
- Learn how to present your offer to get the deal done quick and in a profitable manner
- Learn the easy to do techniques and the ones that are very complicated as well
- Making offers will become easy and simple!
- And much, much more…
Learning how to creatively make offers and becoming a transaction engineer is a must for seasoned and new investors! Find out what are the latest techniques in buying an selling and real estate in general in a fast moving market like ours.
If you could learn how to structure one deal and save yourself $10,000, would you go to that event and pay attention?
I know I would and I will be there.
Members of any REIA are free, non-members $20 at the door.
We will meet on Wednesday, October 14th at the Hudson Grille, at 7PM. Get there early at 6:30 to order your food and drink.

Learn All About Home Inspections and How They Can Save You Money on S

*DATE CHANGE* The Atlanta REIA North Meeting now meets on the 4th Wednesday every month.
Atlanta REIA Members Please RSVP on Meetup.com
We are excited to announce that ASHI certified home inspector, Rick Harris, will be our special guest speaker this month at the Atlanta REIA North monthly meeting. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 23rd at 6:30PM located at 1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Suite D, Buford, GA. Rick will be teaching us all about home inspections and why they are such a critical part of your real estate investing business.
Whenever you are buying a new home either as a rental or to rehab, you will definitely want to have that house examined by a certified home inspector. A home inspector can save you from so many headaches by bringing to light potential problems that you may not have been able to see just by walking through the property. They can also save you a lot of money by helping you more accurately figure your rehab costs prior to purchase so that you can buy smart, and earn a large profit. You could potentially only estimate a $10,000 rehab, but a thorough home inspection may find an additional $15,000 in other repairs you didn’t see during your walk though. That additional $15,000 in repairs will come straight out of your pocket if you don’t factor it in before you make your offer.
You definitely do not want to miss this meeting and learn directly from a certified home inspector what he looks for in houses and how he can save you a lot of money on the front end, before you buy your next investment property. There will be a lot of learning and great networking. Make sure to bring your business cards and deals to discuss.
The Atlanta REIA North meeting is held on the 4th Wednesday of each month at 6:30PM at 1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Suite D, Buford, GA.. Atlanta REIA members can attend this meeting for FREE and guests and non-members can pay just $10 at the door OR pre-register online for only $5! Plan to get there early at 6PM to network before the meeting begins. There will be lots of learning and lots of networking. Bring your deals and your haves, wants and needs to the event.
We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!
