Ready for Change?
Posted on September 16, 2015 byAs a real estate investor you must always adjust to new market trends, rules and regulations. Recently, as any good investor should know, the industry has been having to make some changes due to the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure rule. These changes have and will continue to affect any person closing a property involving an owner occupant loan.
Investors that renovate properties to sell will need to add at least an extra month or two of carrying costs. Why? Well, while not going into too much detail, all HUDs will need to be approved by the buyer and underwriter at least 3 days before closing. In reality, this will mean that the delay may be as many as 6 days because we all know how long underwriting can take. Some investors may not know this, because it is normally not enforced, but currently buyers are supposed to receive a HUD 2 days prior to closing. However, the norm for most closings is having a HUD prepared the day or evening before or the morning of the closing. I have even witnessed some buyers and sellers not receive a HUD until minutes before closing. This way of doing business will soon be gone and I for one like this part of the change. Originally the changes were to be enforced in August but the enforcement date was changed to October 3rd. Therefore, make sure your lenders and title companies are ready for these changes and do not delay your closing any more than needed. Read More→
Working with Superstar Realtors at Atlanta Wholesalers Group

Atlanta REIA Members & Guests, Please RSVP on Meetup.com
You know you need them…Realtors. Despite what any you’ve read anywhere, whether online or offline, you must know how to work with Realtors. They are a key part to your success so getting this one right can mean the difference in big paychecks or none at all.
Realtors come across wholesalers quite often in many of our markets. While this works well in some scenarios, far too often the experience is one that the Realtors do not speak highly of. And I am not referring to the Realtors who are ignorant wholesaling!
I am referring to the ones that do ‘get it’. And I assure you they are out there.
This month, we will be joined by two Superstar Realtors that have extensive experience working with investors. Because Atlanta is like two large markets in one, we will have one who specializes in in-town properties near downtown Atlanta and another that specializes in the suburbs.
You want to be here as you will find out that some Realtors know more than you may have given them credit for…A LOT more in this case.
Learn what is going on through their minds when you approach them with when you ask for their general help, or your offers or if you are looking for one for a specific deal.
This one you cannot afford to get wrong. An effective wholesaler knows how to leverage Realtors to their advantage and create win-win relationships that benefit all parties not just once but repeatedly!
Proximity is power so come join us as you get to meet two of the best agents out there for working with investors in the city!
Bring your best energy, your deals and let’s do some business on the spot. See you then.
My name is Frank Iglesias. Come join us on Tuesday, September 15th at 7PM at the Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs as we network, do what is now our standard deal analysis at every meeting and then we will dive into our topic for the evening!
Atlanta REIA Members & Guests, Please RSVP on Meetup.com
This Atlanta Wholesalers group is primarily for wholesalers who are serious about the business and not just “trying” Real Estate out. Frank started this group to work with other wholesalers who are serious about building their business using the utmost of honesty and integrity. We are looking forward to exploring how we can grow together in our local market. We hope you will join us!

Learn All About Home Inspections and How They Can Save You Money
Posted on August 31, 2015 bywith Special Guest, Rick Harris
September 1st, 6:30PM, Golden Corral, Cumming, GA
We are excited to announce that ASHI certified home inspector, Rick Harris, will be our special guest speaker this month at the Mountain REIA monthly meeting. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 1st at 6:30PM at the Golden Corral located at 2025 Market Place Blvd, Cumming, 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.
We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!

Since the age of 16, George has been involved in business with several of his family’s enterprises. He has become an expert at structuring deals, whether real estate, notes, or any other income-producing transactions.

You definitely don’t want to be that investor. So don’t miss this very important meeting.
At the meeting, George will briefly discuss what he will be going into more depth about at The Wealthy Code Workshop. He will discuss…
- Mistakes to avoid in order to earn passive income that is consistent and dependable
- How to evaluate and adjust deal risks and rewards in a way that allows you to make the deal work for you
- Ways to minimize your risk and and maximize your profits by using different structures for your deals
- How to achieve the dream of most entrepreneurs of working less, having less stress, and having more money and the freedom to spend your time doing what you love to do
- And much, much more!
Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn how to structure all of your income producing deals to make you more money. All this is happening at the Atlanta REIA main meeting on Monday, September 14th at 5PM at Atlanta Unity located at 3597 Parkway Lane in Norcross, GA.

with Don DeRosa
The long awaited High Tech Home Buyers Creative Deal Makers Subgroup is here. Are you spending money on marketing and not getting any deals? Are you able to take any lead and make a deal out of it? Do you know how to make multiple offers that actually get accepted? Are you using technology to your advantage? If the answer is “NO” to these questions then you MUST attend this subgroup meeting.
Would you like to learn how to structure deals so you can buy houses with little or none of your own cash and none of your own credit? 15 hours a week… That’s all you need! Imagine… taking any seller lead and being able to create a winning deal out of it… Making thousands of dollars where you thought there were none. No more wasted marketing dollars. No more wasted phone calls. No more wasted time.

Don will teach you about the state-of-the-art tools and techniques you’ll use to evaluate deals and figure out how to make them work – so you can work less and spend more time where you want, when you want and with whom you want.
Some topics Don will be teaching about include:
- Using Apps on your iPad or other mobile device to evaluate deals on the go
- Creative Techniques such as Wrap Around Mortgages, Sandwich Lease Options, Subject-To, Seller Financing, and more
- How to be a transaction engineer.
- How to be a problem solver.
