Three “Golden Rules” of the Real Estate IRA
Posted on August 1, 2015 byMany of us are aware of the potential for real estate to function within our portfolio. Not only do we believe in real estate as an investment, but we know that over time, it tends to go up in value – there is, after all, only so much land to go around! But what happens when you incorporate real estate into your retirement portfolio? Do the rules change when you’re running a Real Estate IRA?
Truthfully, many of the same principles of real estate hold true when you’re investing in real estate from within a Real Estate IRA. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t some other things to be aware of – this is, after all, a different type of investment account.
Even so, you’ll find that investing in real estate through a Real Estate IRA isn’t only intuitive, but can be just as intuitive as investing in real estate from a “general investment” perspective. We’ve put together three “Golden Rules” here to not only demonstrate some of the similarities but some of the differences in investing in real estate for short-term growth and investing in real estate for retirement: Read More→
Rescission Has the Banks Running Scared!
Posted on August 1, 2015 byLast month I wrote about how you could use the right of rescission as a silver bullet to stop a foreclosure in its tracks. Once you drop a notice of rescission in the mail, your loan has been nullified as a matter of law and the bank must either comply with the rescission or prove within 20 days that they have the right to enforce the note. Well, over the last few weeks I have been seeing more and more from the banks that the right of rescission has them on their heels. The banks are sending their lawyers around their offices explaining exactly how rescission leaves them vulnerable.
The main point that the lawyers are making to the banks is that mailing in a notice of rescission is all it takes to cancel a borrower’s loan, note, and mortgage. The notice is effective from the moment it is dropped in the mail as an act of law. This was written specifically into the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) so that homeowners wouldn’t have to use an attorney to act on their behalf, thus restricting the remedies provided by TILA to borrowers who can afford an attorney. While the note is canceled immediately as soon as the notice is dropped in the mail, the bank has 20 days from the date of receipt to respond. This is a good reason to send the notice with return receipt requested. This provides you with proof of the exact date the notice of rescission was received. Read More→
Do’s and Don’ts of Wholesaling a Wholesale
Posted on August 1, 2015 byWholesalers send me deals daily but I have started to notice that many of these wholesalers are wholesaling another wholesaler’s property. Before proceeding, I want to be clear that I have no issue with this but there is a right way and a wrong way to go about it. Also, understand that if a buyer/investor receives the same property from multiple sellers he/she will contact the seller with the best price. Wouldn’t you? Keep in mind that you did nothing to acquire this property. You merely sent it out to a buyers list you put together, which with today’s technology takes only a few minutes. So what should you avoid and what should you do when wholesaling a wholesale?
Let’s list a few of the major DON’TS:
- Don’t wholesale another wholesaler’s property without permission. It is best to ask and establish a long working relationship with that wholesaler/seller. Just imagine if you end up having a buyer for the property but the wholesaler/seller has sold it or maybe he/she is not interested in working with you. It is best to get all this out of the way first.
- Don’t add on a ridiculous fee to the price if it is not justified. The last thing you want to do is be known as the wholesaler who markets deals with very little to no potential profit. What’s worse is if the property is being shopped by multiple wholesalers in the market area and your price is the highest.
- Don’t waste time marketing another wholesaler’s “deal” until you have seen a contract. Many times a wholesaler will claim to have a deal under contract but in reality he/she is still just waiting for it to be executed. Pre-marking is fine but don’t spend too much time on it until you see a contract.
- Don’t contact the original seller of the property. If you run across the seller at the property and want to know more about the condition of the property or the neighborhood that is fine. However, do not discuss price, closing dates, mention wholesaling, etc. These are items you discuss with the wholesaler/seller you are working with. The last thing you want to do is jeopardize another person’s contract or be accused of trying to go around the other wholesaler to contract the property yourself.
Missing Atlanta REIA’s August 3rd Meeting Could Cost You a Fortune…
Posted on July 31, 2015 byHave you ever heard the expression, “you make all your money in real estate the day you buy?” Well, guess what: at Monday’s meeting, you’ll learn that…
When You Wholesale Real Estate,
You Make Your Money—In Cash—BEFORE You Buy!
Sounds too good to be true, but our guest speaker, Vena Jones-Cox, does it about 40 times a year. Join us, and you’ll learn:
Well, it’s absolutely true, and it means that finding bargain properties is probably THE most important skill any real estate investor ever learns.
If you can consistently find sellers who NEED—not want, NEED– to sell their homes, even if it means that they take pennies on the dollar, you’ll have a life full of great deals and the money that they make. If you can’t find these sellers, you literally can’t make money investing in real estate.
- How to identify the right properties right in your own back yard that you can wholesale for a $5,000-$10,000 profit in the next 30 days
- What to offer for these properties, so they sell fast and get you cash BEFORE the closing
- How to find and groom buyers for your deals
- And lots more!
It’s a great topic, a great meeting, and a great presenter, so mark your calendar and plan to attend! We’ll see you there.
BTW, Don’t forget Vena’s Saturday August 8th workshop on Advanced Wholesaling & Marketing Strategies. You can get more information or register at https://atlantareia.com/?p=27947!

Learn to Do More Deals and Earn More by Working Less

Do More Deals by Working Less!
with Frank Iglesias
July 27th, 6:30PM, Cherokee Cattle Company
2710 Canton Rd, Marietta, GA
Atlanta REIA Members Please RSVP on Meetup.com
if you have a meetup account.
This month we have a very special treat for you! Whether you are new to real estate, getting back in, or building your business and working more than you’d like to, you NEED to be at this month’s Wild West Event! Our guest speaker Frank Iglesias is the real deal. He’s currently running a very successful real estate business, and he’s built it so that it doesn’t suck up all his time! As a result, he’s able to enjoy the lifestyle that most real estate investors only dream about. How? By effectively leveraging his time!
Join us at the Wild West Event on Monday July 27 at the Cherokee Cattle Company located at 2710 Canton Rd in Marietta, as Frank shares with us his secrets on how he was able to grow his business, make more ca$h, do more deals, and buy more houses by using VA’s! If you have been around real estate for any length of time, you’ve probably heard about Virtual Assistants, or “VAs” for short. Sounds sexy, but how can you use them effectively? Recently, Frank gave a talk and asked the audience what came to their minds when he said the term ‘Virtual Assistant’. The answers were, like almost any other time he’s asked: 1) International, 2) Cheap, 3) Hard to Understand, 4) Do busy work tasks. No wonder more people don’t leverage this awesome opportunity to its capacity–the mindset is not one for success before the relationship even begins!
Join us at the Wild West on Monday July 27, when Frank will break this mold by discussing several key points, including:
- Are VAs your team membersor are they just doing tasks?
- Hiring and training VAs to make decisions for you
- How VAs fit into the 80/20 rule, when leveraged properly, so you get your time back
Reality is, running a business does take some work, but it does not have to be overly complicated, time consuming or difficult. It does, however, require preparation, planning and ultimately, systems. It won’t happen until you first decide to Stop Doing It All Yourself.
What you will learn: Frank will cover a lot of ground on how VAs play a vital part of his thriving real estate business, including:
- Scaling your business using VAs
- Differences between local and virtual help
- Unleashing the right VAs to run your day to day for you so you can focus on growth
- The principals his team uses to look at over 100 deals every single week and cherry pick what makes sense
- And Much, Much, More!
Bottom line, it’s competitive out there with the market picking up speed and more investors vying for the same deals. To make more money at a faster pace requires efficiency and speed. Having the right team in place is critical to achieving this successfully. Having just one helping hand daily can make a huge impact on your growth. VAs can help you accomplish this with greatly reduced costs, if done properly. So mark your calendars now and get ready for an action packed evening at the Wild West Event on Monday July 27! Bring your questions and take lots of notes so you too can Stop Doing It All Yourself! See you there!

Creative Financing Solutions for Your Real Estate Business at EPIC
Posted on July 23, 2015 bywith Special Guest, Robert Mulcahy
July 28th, 6:30PM, Green Ginger Asian Fusion
200 Market Place Connector, Peachtree City, GA
Atlanta REIA Members Please RSVP on Meetup.com
if you have a meetup account.
You are all in for a special treat this month at the Peachtree City EPIC Group. Robert Mulcahy is going to be our guest speaker and will be teaching us about creative financing solutions for today’s real estate investors. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 28th at 6:30PM at the Green Ginger Asian Fusion Restaurant located at 200 Market Place Connector in Peachtree City, GA. This will be a great opportunity for you to network with other like-minded investors and to create a relationship with a company who can assist you with your financing needs.
In 2013, approximately 14.9 million single family homes were occupied by renters, which is a 26% increase since before the market crash in 2006. Of all the rental inventory, 53% are 1-4 unit properties. With a 2% decrease in overall home ownership, that creates an additional 2.5 million renters. (Source: National Multifamily Housing Council & U.S. Census Bureau. Updated 9/2014) With these statistics, it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that now is a great time to stock up on rental properties, but more properties means more cash needed to buy them.
Robert Mulcahy with Angel Oak Prime Bridge, LLC will show you the solutions to those financial problems. He will show you…
- How best to use leverage & financing to increase your investment business
- How to understand and access financing
- An overview of new lending programs available specifically for investors
- How to finance up to 25 properties at a time
- Programs that use the property income to qualifyand not your personal incom
- How to pull cash out of properties
- And so much more!
If you are involved in any type of real estate transaction needing funding, you won’t want to miss connecting with Robert and his company. He has the ability to give you the freedom you need to purchase as many properties as you desire. Some highlights of investor loan programs available are:
- No minimum down payment (Borrow up to 100% of the total project costs, subject to 65% of the After Repaired Value)
- Landlord program – Convert renovation loans to permanent 30 year mortgages using the appraised value (With no seasoning on the appraised value)
- Loans for renovation and new construction
- Straight purchase or renovation loans
- Cash out loans
- Loans in the name of businesses
- Works with all credit scenarios
- Loans to foreign nationals
Come on out on Tuesday, July 28th. You are sure to meet some great individuals and make lasting connections that will help propel your business in the right direction. We look forward to seeing you there!

Vena Jones-Cox
Posted on July 22, 2015 by
The only thing Vena Jones-Cox loves more than teaching people how to set their financial lives to rights by wholesaling houses is…wholesaling houses.
Wholesaling is a time-tested strategy that, in 5 simple steps, puts big chunks of cash into your pocket—without getting involved in risky rehabs, rental management, borrowing money, or even having to buy the properties themselves. It’s a strategy that’s both financially and personally rewarding—not to mention a lot of fun.
At the same time, she’s a huge advocate for rigorous training in the wholesaling business—Vena says, “Wholesalers who don’t know what they’re doing burn sellers, burn buyers, burn their own reputations and attract the attention of regulators. Wholesalers who’ve bothered to invest time and money in real training are the ones that make real money, build real businesses, and provide real benefits to their customers and the community.”
Following a blessedly-brief stint in corporate America, Vena began investing in real estate full time in 1989. Since that time, she’s been a principal in over 900 transactions including rentals, lease/options, note purchases, rehabs, and, of course, wholesale deals. She’s a licensed real estate broker and founder of REStructure Opportunity Fund, a privately-held equity fund that buys houses, notes and small apartment properties in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.
Vena is the past president of the Real Estate Investors Association of Greater Cincinnati, the Ohio Real Estate Investors Association, and the National Real Estate Investors Association, and the Founder of Central Ohio Real Estate Entrepreneurs in Columbus, Ohio. She lives in Cincinnati with the world’s cutest dog and evilest cat.
Learn How to Use Private Money to Fund Your Deals at BIG on July 20, 2015
Posted on July 14, 2015 bywith Special Guests, Mark & Anne Lackey
Members Attend for FREE and Guests for $15 Online or Pay $20 at the Door.

Access to money is a key component in the success of a real estate investor. The more access you have, the more opportunities that will be available to you. Come out this month to the Beginning Investors Group (BIG), where we are excited to have our good friends Mark and Anne Lackey as our special guest speakers. The Lackeys have raised close to a million dollars using a proven method that they will share with us. The meeting will take place on Monday, July 20th at 6:30PM at Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs.
Finding private money is a huge challenge for many investors. Banks are generally not too helpful to investors, especially full-time investors who don’t have high earning full time J-O-Bs. Many sellers want cash, which leaves you, the investor, stuck trying to make deals work without access to the funds. By implementing the steps that the Lackey’s will teach you, your business will be able to take off to new heights!
Mark and Anne will show you…
- 5 ways to fund your deals without using your own cash or credit
- How to find private money lenders
- A proven strategy to ask for the funds you need for your deals
- An overview of all the necessary paperwork you will need
Come prepared to roll up your sleeves and start working on your private money pitch. This will be great meeting where you will gain confidence in your ability to find and secure private funds. Don’t miss it!
Mark and Anne Lackey are well known around Atlanta and across the nation as Real Estate Investors, Authors, Speakers and Educators as well as REALTORs. They coach and train hundreds of US and Canadians to a successful real estate career. Mark and Anne have written multiple Best Selling books and developed multiple Educational Programs and systems for many areas of Real Estate Investing.
Today, Mark and Anne control and manage over $3M in passive income producing residential properties, (aka rentals) in their own portfolio, and manage $23M of income producing properties for other investors. Each year they find, fix-up and flip multiple properties for profit and have transacted over $35M in real estate over the past 5 years alone. They operate multiple businesses and they do everything together.
See you at the meeting!

The entire purpose of this group is to educate and inspire new investors working on their “first deal” and help new again investors get their “next deal”. Please join us on the 3rd Monday of each month at Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs.

This month, on Tuesday, July 21st at NOON, the Onsite Renovation Group will be meeting at Mike & Tolla Cherwenka’s run down mansion rehab located at 4817 Cascade Road in Atlanta. Come join us as we see the amazing transformation that has taken place at this Million Dollar Mansion. The rehab is almost complete. What was once run down and ugly has now become a beautiful home worth over $1 Million. You don’t want to miss this! Thanks Mike & Tolla Cherwenka for allowing us to meet at your mansion!
The Atlanta REIA Onsite Renovation Group (ORG), co-hosted this month by Don DeRosa and Lynn Overall, is an educational and networking group that focuses on the acquisition, renovation and retail resale (fix and flip) of single family residential homes. The purpose of this group is to allow both new and experienced rehabbers and investors to meet, network and share knowledge and experience with “hands on” access to real property. The Onsite Renovation Group meets on the 3rd Tuesday each month at NOON at an active renovation site, build site or rental property which will vary from month to month. There is currently no charge to attend this meeting.
