This month’s guest speaker is Dwan Bent-Twyford who will be talking about “How to Turn $10 into $10,000 in 30 Days or Less!” Register for the Webinar Now!

Dwan told me she recently got off the phone with one of her insider contacts at the bank who shared some new information that has not been released to the public! She said “YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT THE BANKS ARE DOING WITH ALL OF THE FORECLOSURES!”

I don’t know about you, but I wanna hear it since many of us have been wondering what’s gonna happen with all the properties that weren’t being paid for during covid. We will be discussing this with Dwan on Monday on the Flip Chicks Webinar at 7PM and we want you to be on it!

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve tried so many different ways to make money in the real estate business, but still haven’t found THE way… Dwan wants to show you the most efficient way to flip houses!

Dwan says “I say turn $10 into $10k in 30 days or less, because this is completely doable! There are tons of folks that need your help and all you need is $10 to make it happen!

Join us on Monday for one hour and see how these tips will change the way you see the real estate business! See you Monday!”

Flip Chicks is hosted by Amanda Sutherlin, Kelly Duncan, Emilia St Jean & Dustin Griffin.

Tuesday, May 3rd @ NOON (LIVE in Buford): Onsite Renovation Group with Dustin Griffin, Don DeRosa & Chrissy Griffin. We will be meeting at Dominic and Chrissy’s s rehab project located at 4069 Manor Hill Pl, Buford, GA.

Chrissy says “This deal is 3 bed, 2 bath, 1500 sqft single family ranch that was a pre-foreclosure. It was a hoarder house that was vacant for over a year with flood damage. We tried to short sale it, but the banks declined due to a $25K insurance check in escrow. There were $20K in HOA loans that we were able to get reduced. This house was found using a text message campaign. This house was a disaster.”

Now the rehab is nearly complete and the house will be staged and listed soon. Come check out the finished project at Onsite!

Are you new to Fix and Flipping houses? If so our special guest speaker this month at BIG, Roger Blankenship, has bought and sold thousands of houses and has repaired more than 1500 of them. He’s learned a few lessons along the way and fortunately for you, he was taking notes so he could share with you some lessons he’s learned.

On the webinar, Roger will share the “Five Things Every Fix & Flip Investor MUST Know” to be successful. If you can master these topics, you will be well on your way to the success in the real estate investing business you dream about. Roger is also going to talk about the Ten Biggest Mistakes New Fix and Flip Investors Make. Any of these mistakes can easily cost you $10-$15K.

Roger created the Flipping America brand because he saw a huge interest in this business and watched with dismay as the hucksters took advantage of people. He is a voice of clarity, honesty, and truth, without all the hype and high pressure sales. It must have struck a chord because now more than a million people listen to his show every month.

Monday, April 4th @ 7PM – 9PM  (ONLINE MEETING): The Real FLIP CHICKS is now meeting ONLINE ONLY on the 1st Monday of each month at 7PM on Zoom Webinar.

This month’s guest speaker and topic will be Frank Yacenda on Why It’s Important to Hold Real Estate Through Entities (and not in your own name). Register for the Webinar Now!

It’s all too common that real estate investors rush into deals, holding properties in their own names. And that works fine – until a tenant, guest, or stranger falls and breaks a leg or a service supplier files a law suit. Then the importance of holding investment properties in the name of an entity – usually a limited liability company, an LLC – becomes evident. By then it’s too late, and all of the investor’s personal assets become exposed to litigation and a potential judgment.

In his presentation, Frank Yacenda will explain why it’s important to hold investment properties in the name of an entity, what states provide the best asset protection and why, and why it’s neither rocket science, difficult, nor costly to set up entities through which you can do business.

He’ll explain different ways of structuring entities to meet your individual asset protection goals, the potentially positive and negative tax implications of doing business through entities, and things entities can and can’t accomplish. At the end of his formal presentation Frank will answer any questions attendees have.

Topics to be Covered in the Presentation:

• Why invest through an entity?
• The different kinds of entities, and which one is best for which purpose.
• What the leading states are for registering a company, and why Wyoming is the best choice for most investors to register parent entities.
• Why you also need to register in states where you hold investment properties, and how that is best accomplished.
• Different ways of structuring investment entities – Good, Better, and Best asset protection.
• Tax implications of different entities and structures.
• Obtaining investment finance through an entity.

Don’t Miss this Presentation! Register for the Webinar Now!

Frank Yacenda has been setting up companies – LLCs and corporations – for real estate investors for more than a dozen years. As Founder, President, and CEO of Alpha Opportunities International, Inc., he has expanded the company’s offerings to serve a broad range of business needs, focusing on those most important to real estate investors.

His career spans more than five decades during which he has headed international business and project development companies, served as a Foreign Service Officer with the U.S. Department of State, has been an award-winning public relations and marketing practitioner, and a journalist. He has taught at the university level in both brick-and-mortar and online institutions in this country and abroad, and he holds a Masters degree in mass communication from the University of Florida.

Frank is the author of a book on the ins and outs of real estate investing – Buying America the Right Way – that focuses on structuring holdings through legal entities. His broad perspective and decades of business and real estate experience enable him to serve as a guide for real estate investors at all different levels, whether just starting out or with lots of deals done.

“If you are a new investor, a lot of times learning all this new stuff can make you can feel scared and anxious. You are constantly learning to “do this” and “do that.” But wouldn’t it be great if you had a checklist of things NOT to do?

Ever wish you knew what land mines to avoid in real estate to make your success faster and easier? Well guess what? I’m here to help you with that.

I’ve put together a list of my TOP 10 Mistakes almost ALL investors make in their first year. Not only am I identifying what they are, but I’m also going to show you how the either avoid them or fix them altogether.

At the meeting, we will discuss…

• Top 10 Mistakes Investors make in their first year
• How to identify these mistakes
• How to avoid or fix these mistakes

With 2022, hopefully getting back to some normalcy, the economy will be thrusted back into reality, and with that, will come great opportunity for those who have the ability to recognize it. Come join me so we can put your investment business in overdrive. I look forward to seeing you at the meeting.”
