Researching Properties & Marketing to Off Market Sellers at EPIC on May 26, 2015

May 26th, 6:30PM, Green Ginger Asian Fusion

Come join us at our next Peachtree City EPIC Group meeting on Tuesday, May 26th at 6:30PM at the Green Ginger Asian Fusion Restaurant located at 200 Market Place Connector in Peachtree City, GA. Our special guest speaker will be Chuck Phillips with CRS Data. Chuck will be showing us how to use CRS Data’s proprietary software to find and organize all the important property information you need so you can make informed decisions in all your real estate investing transactions.
CRS Data , a leading consolidator of information gleaned from public records provides Data to MLS Services, Realtors, Appraisers, Banks/Lenders, Government Agencies, as well as investors.
Chuck has worked with Courthouse Retrieval System (CRS) for over 11 years. He has worked with all types of individuals from Investors, Realtors, Mortgage Companies, Banks, Surveyors, and Developers on how to utilize public record information. He is licensed to teach “Using Public Records to Enhance Your Business” by the Tennessee Realtors Association in TN. Public records can be used to answer the following questions:
- Where do you find off market properties?
- How do you get in touch with people who don’t know they want to sell?
- How do you become the only buyer?
- How do you get contact information on a vacant property?
- Where do you get the information to become the neighborhood expert?
- Where do you get a mailing list of absentee owners?
- How do you get a list of owners of multiple properties?
- And much much more.
Public records are free to look at from state or county sites using the program provided by that organization. Most of the time all you can obtain is the Owners Name, Address, Tax Information, Parcel Number, Year/Effective Year Built, Lat/Long Information if the county has GIS maps, etc. The program from CRS, with the various Search Filters, allows you to sift through this data to arrive at the results you would like. If you are looking for out of state owners with a certain type of improvement, square footage, year built in a certain zip/street, this program can filter out that information. If you need a home with an existing mortgage, this information can be found.
All of this is public information, but the Engine CRS has with the various filters makes it very easy to find and export to Excel for marketing purposes. If you find a home and need to know the comps around the home, this can easily be found based on date, distance, and time of sale. This is another feature any investor needs depending on the type of exit strategy they have for the property.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to save yourself TONS of time researching properties!
We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!

Do you have renters and buyers interested, but can’t close them? Are you feeling like your negotiating skills leave much to be desired, but don’t know what you need to do to get good at it?

Your Real Estate Deal – Is it Legal? Find out at Atlanta Wholesalers Group on May 19, 2015

Atlanta REIA Members & Guests, Please RSVP on Meetup.com
if you have a meetup account. Non-Members can attend at No Charge.
How do I do this deal…..?
A common, yet simple question. Wholesalers get taught to assign everything but reality has a way of requiring a little more effort for varying types of deals. On top of that, there are all kinds of ‘details’ that come up which tend to complicate the simplest of things. Have you been there? I know I sure have.
Jonathan Lyman of Halperin Lyman, LLC will share with us at this meeting all about the legal aspects of wholesaling. Things such as…
- What CAN you do?
- What CAN’T you do?
- How to handle transactional funding
- Different ways to close
- How lenders fit in, whether private, hard or traditional
- Why your attorney can’t get you an answer on title in Georgia in less than 24 hours in nearly any situation
- How to work with multiple attorneys on one deal
- And so much more!
This will be a very detailed and information packed meetup! Every time I go to a legal meeting, I learn something new and you will learn a ton too from Jonathan. Make sure to bring your notepad, questions and let’s be the best we can be with this ever too critical part of our business.
My name is Frank Iglesias. Come join us on Tuesday, May 19th 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!
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!
