All Inclusive Marketing (AIM) Group
Is Direct Mail Marketing Dead???
with Rock Shukoor on July 14th
at Hudson Grille, Sandy Springs, GA
Atlanta REIA Members & Guests Can Attend This Month at No Charge!

Rock ShukoorIs Direct Mail Marketing Dead? To find out more and find out the truth about direct mail and why it is not working for many people, join us at the All Inclusive Marketing (AIM) Group on Monday, July 14th at 7:00 PM at the Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs.

Rock says “In this meeting I will be sharing my experience with Direct Mail and I will show you some examples of what you can do to get a very high response rate. I have had up to 13% response rate from my pre-foreclosure campaigns and some other campaigns I have put together. The market is changing and it is almost a sellers market now. You, as a real estate investor must know how to find deals. In a buyers market that skill is not that important as deals are everywhere. When you are in a sellers market, you must have this skill, otherwise you will always be at the mercy of other investors like myself who can find deals. I will explain the whole process, the small but vital details, bring samples of some of my most successful campaigns, and most of all, how to automate it.”

Rock will teach you…

  • What to do to get your mail open
  • How to cut trough the clutter
  • How to stand out and beat your competition
  • How to get up to 13% response rate
  • What bonuses to offer
  • What to do to make your phone ring after the mail is opened
  • What market to choose
  • How many pieces of mail to send out per person
  • What is the magic number in direct mail
  • Where to get the list from
  • And much, much more

We will also hanging out after the meeting to socialize and build stronger bond. Come join us!

Rock's BookBONUSES FOR ATTENDING: Rock has some special bonuses for all those who show up early or on time: (1) a digital copy of his book, “Extraordinary Results by Ordinary Investors”, (2) a digital copy of his book, “Go Mobile Now Or Die!” and (3) a 30 point marketing audit of your business ($250 value).

  • How To Use IRA’s As A Source Of Private Funds
  • What Types Of Retirement Accounts Can Be Self Directed
  • And much, much more…

Jim’s forte is the financing and acquisition of real estate, private offerings, mortgage lending, business’s, joint ventures, partnerships and limited liability companies using creative techniques. He has developed, owned, and managed everything from single family homes to multi-unit commercial properties and million dollar business’s.

Jim is the Chief Executive Officer of American IRA.

Mon, July 7th at 5:00 PM in Atlanta, GA
Atlanta REIA – July 7th
Join us for an Expert Panel Discussion on…
Understanding the Ever-Changing
Atlanta Real Estate Market

Atlanta REIA Members Can Attend at No Charge. This month,
Guests Can RSVP Online Now for $20 or Pay $25 at the Door.

We are very excited about our next Atlanta REIA Main Meeting is on Monday, July 7th at the Salvation Army Building located at 2090 N Druid Hills Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30329. This month we will be having our monthly vendor tradeshow as usual, but will also be having a Expert Panel Discussion on “Understanding the Ever-Changing Atlanta Real Estate Market”. Gordon Catts will be moderating a panel of real estate experts consisting of Rhonda Duffy of Duffy Realty, John Holman of HomeVestors, Robert Locke of Crown Management and John Mangham with Starker Services.

Power Panel

The Atlanta Metro Area real estate market has changed dramatically since this time last year. Perhaps you’ve heard there is an “Atlanta Inventory Crisis”.

  • Certain areas have gone from a buyer’s market to a seller’s market due to the inventory shortage of available homes for sale at auction or on the MLS.
  • Many Realtors are not only struggling to get listings, but also to find suitable properties for their buyers.
  • Some area property values have risen close to 2007 levels. Many home owners who have been “under water” may be close to break even in these areas.
  • REO Brokers are reporting that banks are not releasing foreclosed inventory. Instead, they are reportedly selling off blocks of pre-foreclosed (“bad paper”) and foreclosed homes to large institutional buyers.
  • Shadow inventory is alive and well and some of the foreclosure firms have laid off staff. The number of pre foreclosures is down and yet it is not consistent with delinquencies.
  • Out of state and foreign buyers are active in the market and Atlanta is a favorite destination for real estate gurus once again.

To learn more about the changing market conditions, be sure to join us at Atlanta REIA on July 7th to hear a panel of local real estate experts discuss their opinions on the Atlanta Real Estate Market. This is your opportunity to hear from folks you don’t normally get to hear from who truly have valuable first hand insights into the Atlanta Market. So please bring your questions and do not miss your chance to learn what’s hot and what’s not in the Atlanta market.

There is no charge to attend this meeting for Atlanta REIA members and the cost is $5.00 at the door for non-members.

This month, on Wednesday, June 18th at 6:30 PM, Alisha will be discussing how to analyze deals, do your due diligence and determine the “After Repair Value” (ARV) as accurately as possible.

One of the frustrations facing new investors is determining what a property is worth and what they can pay for it. In the rapidly changing market we are operating in, it is critical to be able to objectively determine the retail price for a property. In order to determine what to pay for a property, one must know the ARV. It is also important to know how the banks will value your property when you are ready to sell to a retail buyer.

Alisha will discuss…

  • BPO’s
  • Valuation Trends
  • Exit Strategies
  • AS-IS vs ARV
  • Comp Selections
  • Sample FNMA BPO Forms
  • And much more!

Alisha says “Profit margins are smaller as inventory continues to stay low, and valuation is the key to making sure you aren’t losing money. Accurate valuation is the #1, first and most important factor in the due diligence process – all other numbers are derived from this and therefore you do not want to miss this meeting to learn more about the process.”
