Picture this: a man purchases a house in 2007 with a loan from a major mortgage lender who then securitizes the loan. After 7 years of making payments, the homeowner loses his job and defaults on the loan. The lender sends a foreclosure notice to the homeowner, claiming the ability to foreclose on the loan. But does the lender actually have the right to foreclose? The answer is a bit complicated, and does not look good for the major banks. To understand why, let’s take a closer look at exactly what the banks did and what it means for homeowners and real estate investors.

When a loan was securitized it was lumped together with a massive pool of loans and then sold in parts to investors around the world. The investors were then paid from the principal and interest payments on the loans based on their percentage of ownership. It sounds simple enough. If it was that simple, why did mortgage lenders begin the process by selling each loan in the massive pool of loans through a sequence of sales? And why was the last sale almost invariably to a single-purpose entity, usually a trust with a major bank as the trustee? The point of this sequence of sales was to separate the pool of loans from the assets and liabilities of the originating lender. They did this in case the lender was to file for bankruptcy or go into receivership. If the loan had not been completely separated from the lender, the lender could then claim the loan by right of redemption, effectively leaving the investors with nothing.

If the homeowner continues to make their payments, this is the end of the process for them until they have paid off the loan. If the homeowner misses payments and the foreclosure process begins on their loan, that’s when things get hairy. Read More→

Plan for retirement

What should you do with your Real Estate IRA? If you are a Baby Boomer, you may want to consider using a Real Estate IRA to purchase that dream home before you hit retirement. Then, when you reach age 59 ½, you can take the home as a distribution and begin enjoying your new retirement home. Remember, you may not use this home for your own personal use until you reach 59 ½ and take the home as a distribution.

One important point that people forget when talking about taking a home as a distribution is the taxes due on distributions. If the home was held in a Traditional IRA, then taxes will be due on the amount of the distribution (the appraised value of the home) in accordance with the individual’s tax bracket. That’s why most people recommend using a Roth IRA for this strategy. With a Roth IRA, taxes are due at the time contributions are made, after that all profits grow tax-free and since you paid the taxes at the time the contributions were made, distributions are tax-free as long as you have reached age 59 ½ and the account has been open for at least 5 years.

It is the goal of this column to answer questions about QuickBooks and how it is used in the REI arena. Know how to record transactions in the proper way and have your set of books in good shape when it comes time for taxes. It is our intention to do this by you the members submitting questions to Karen@smallbusinessadvisor.biz, and getting answers here in this column.

Q: From time to time I have an entry that I really don’t know how to enter properly. It may be a deposit or a check and I don’t know where to either show the income or the expense. Where can I put this until I can find out from my CPA how to handle it?

A: Create an account named ‘SUSPENSE” and make the type of account a “Bank”.   It will live on the balance sheet and will immediately get the attention of your CPA. If you use only this account for these types of entries you can eliminate the Miscellaneous, Uncategorized and Ask my Accountant accounts. Too often these types of accounts get used and the information is scattered across them instead of being in one single account. I usually delete these accounts after I have moved all the transactions to their proper place and then only have Suspense to work with. Read More→

Think BIG

Posted on April 3, 2015 by

How can you get not only what you want but MORE than what you have ever wished for?

Nothing is Unreachable

Your success depends on your vision.

  • Do you want to work independently, or do you want to work independently and be wealthy?
  • Do you want to pay off your credit cards, or do you want to be completely debt free?
  • Do you want to take a vacation, or do you want to travel the world?

When you expand your thinking, you can expand your success. Expect more and work knowing that you can have it. From the start, know how big you want your business to be and work as though it is already there.

Big business owners keep good analytical data on sales, acquisitions, expenses, and growth. With good analytical data, you can prove that you are a good business person, and people will want to loan/give you money. Read More→

Atlanta REIA Main Monthly Meeting
& Vendor Trade Show
April 6th @ Atlanta Unity, Norcross, GA
Learn How to ACT On or REACT To Any Deal
With Special Guest, Jon Iannotti

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

Jon and Stephanie IannottiWe are excited to announce that Jon Iannotti will be our special guest trainer this month at Atlanta REIA on Monday, April 6th at 5PM at Atlanta Unity located at 3597 Parkway Lane in Norcross, GA. Jon will be teaching us about how his CATS can help YOU do more deals by giving you the tools needed to structure profitable transactions that others would normally pass on.

CATS?!?!… No, we are not referring to his kitty cats… Jon and his wife Stephanie have created a real estate system they call CATS (Complete Agreeable Terms System). The CATS system is currently helping ordinary, everyday investors become extraordinary investors by giving them the tools they need to do deals that 99% of other investors don’t even realize are deals. Deals that are upside down. Deals where the seller wants full price and all cash. Deals where the seller is behind on payments. All types of deals you might normally throw in the trash.

Knowledge is the key and what you don’t know about how to structure creative transactions can definitely hurt your wallet. Imagine knowing how to take a lead most other investors would toss away and turn it into a profitable deal that could make you thousands in a very, very short period of time!

During his 90 minute presentation, Jon will teach you how to…

  • Make money without using your own credit, money or contractors
  • Turn a dud of a deal into a profitable deal
  • What do do when a seller wants full retail and all cash
  • Profit from houses that are upside down
  • Do as many deals per month as you desire
  • Make a minimum of $5,000 per deal
  • Get the benefits of ownership without actually owning the house
  • Put your entire business on “Cruise Control”
  • All this and much, much more!

Jon and his wife Stephanie have over 30 years combined Real Estate investing and teaching experience. They have over 2000 creative deals under their belt and are considered one of the best in the industry. Jon and Stephanie created ACTS (Agreeable Contract Terms System) for when the seller says “Yes” to terms. They created REACT (Reverse Engineered Agreeable Contract Terms) when the seller says “No” to terms and wants full retail value and all cash. They have now combined these two systems into CATS (the Complete Agreeable Terms System) to have best of both worlds. Now they can make offers that have a high likelihood of being accepted on any of the leads that come across their desk and you can too!

Come spend 90 minutes with Jon at the Atlanta REIA Meeting on Monday, April 6th at 5PM where he will explain how to turn seemingly dead property leads into profitable deals. You certainly will not want to miss out on this career changing information! We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!

Don DeRosaMost people only use their smartphones & tablets to talk, text, play games, and watch videos. But did you know that you can also use your iPhone or Android to successfully invest in Real Estate?

The real estate investing game can be confusing. There’s so much to learn, and things always seem to change very quickly. By the time you’ve found a possible deal, analyzed the comps, estimated the repairs, crunched the numbers, written up your offer and presented it to the seller, someone else has already come in and bought it while you were still moving in slow motion!

That’s exactly what was happening to Don. So he decided to do something about it! By combining his love of technology along with his knowledge & experience in real estate, Don began putting together something new and amazing. The result?

The World’s First Paperless, Wireless, Mobile, Lightning-Fast Real Estate Investing System!

Imagine This: You’ve found a deal. You’re at the seller’s house, and everything seems to look good… but you suspect the sellers might have an appointment with your competition later. You need to lock this deal down NOW so you don’t lose it. NO problem! You smile as you pull out your iPad, tap a few apps, run a few numbers, and… BAM!

In just a few moments, you’ve run the comps, estimated the repairs, made your offer to the seller, gotten them to sign the contract, then submitted that contract to your title company, your attorney, and the seller… All BEFORE leaving their house!

Best of all, it was not only easy but FUN to do it all that way!

  • Do you think that might help you to buy a few more houses this year?
  • Do you think that might help you stand apart from your competitors?
  • Can you see how having that power might help make your life easier?

What You’ll Learn…

  • How to find leads on your cell phone/iPad
  • How to easily run your business from the palm of your hand!
  • How to Buy & Sell Houses from Anywhere by Using Technology
  • How to Automate all the parts of the business that suck up your time (you hate these anyway)
  • Killer negotiation tactics that will put more cash in your pocket on almost every deal.
  • And a LOT More!!

Jon & Stephanie Iannotti

Posted on March 24, 2015 by

Jon & Stephanie IannottiJon & Stephanie Iannotti have been business leaders since 2000. With over 30 years combined experience in Real Estate Investing/Teaching, and Mentoring and over 1900 creative deals under their belts, they are considered one of the best in the industry. They have also come up with some amazing ways to structure deals that are cutting edge. They have done many deals with their student partners using these state of the art techniques which are now being taught across the country and internationally. They are the creators of ACT (Agreeable Contract Terms). This program and has totally changed many investors’ lives with the teachings and techniques. Then in 2012, due to even more changes in the Real Estate Market, the Iannotti’s came up with another System called REACT (Reverse Engineered Assignment of Contract Terms). REACT is now taking the Real Estate Investing world by storm as well as their most recent program CATS (Complete Agreeable Terms System), which was just released in October of 2014.  

Jon and Stephanie have trained with and worked with some of the biggest names in Real Estate Investing. To name a few, Ron LeGrand, Robin Thompson, Lee Phillips, Al Aiello, Ted Thomas, and many others. Not only have they mentored hundreds of their own students, they have also mentored hundreds of Ron LeGrand’s real estate students.

Seeing a great need for another Real Estate Investing Association in the Southwest Florida Region to help educate and train Real Estate Investors, Jon & Stephanie approached some of their associates and decided to form the Florida Gulf Coast Real Estate Investing Alliance. They are looking forward to continuing to bring knowledge and training to as many Investors as possible and are always continuing to keep their skills fine-tuned and cutting edge so that their knowledge can be passed to those that they associate with.   Their motto for Real Estate Investing….”Knowledge is key, Timing is crucial, Location is important and having a Mentor or Coach will keep you on the path to Success!” Read More→

Atlanta Area Wholesalers Group
Meets Tuesday, March 17th at 7PM
Hudson Grille, 6317 Roswell Rd, Sandy Springs, GA

Leveraging Virtual Assistants to
Grow Your Wholesaling Business!

Frank IglesiasVirtual Assistants…

So often spoken about…

So often misunderstood…

So often they just don’t work out as well as we’ve heard they would…

Life on the beach with your VAs doing it all… If it was only that simple!

We are talking the wholesaling process from A-Z and how VAs fit in to that plan. And one hint… they CAN do more than you think so you can quit trying to do everything yourself all the time. I am amazed at how many investors still do too many “minimum wage activities” in their business. VAs can be a powerful asset to your business if you use them the right way.

My name is Frank Iglesias. Come join us on Tuesday, March 17th 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 this often talked about and usually misunderstood subject!

Atlanta Area WholesalersThis Atlanta Area 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!

Frank IglesiasIf you want to be a Wholesaler, you need to come to the Atlanta REIA North Meeting on Wednesday, March 18th from 6:30PM to 9:00PM at 1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Suite D, Buford, Georgia as Frank Iglesias, an experienced Wholesaler, will be showing how to analyze wholesale deals and determine if you have a deal or a dud. Frank will take us through the process of deciding if a deal makes dollars and sense. If you bring bad deals to cash buyers more than a time or two, they are not likely to take you seriously nor consider your deals in the future.

Frank leads the Atlanta Area Wholesalers Group that meets on the 3rd Tuesday of each month and often will spend an entire evening analyzing potential wholesale deals. This month at the Atlanta REIA North meeting we’re going to do the same thing, so BRING YOUR DEALS!!!

Last month at the North Group, Frank spoke about running your business as a business. This month we have invited him back to help you learn how to accurately analyze potential wholesale deals. We are excited to have him cover this important topic which you are sure to enjoy and benefit from.

You will learn…

  • Is there enough money in the deal to wholesale it?
  • How do I analyze a deal so that it meets my cash buyer’s purchase criteria?
  • What should I say about repair costs?
  • Is this property in location where investors are willing to buy and hold or fix and flip?
  • Can I sell this to a rehabber?
  • Is this a property for a buy and hold investor?
  • And much, much more!

Frank Iglesias will be analyzing actual deals at the Atlanta REIA North Meeting on Wednesday, March 18th from 6:30PM to 9:00PM at 1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Suite D, Buford, Georgia, so BRING YOUR DEALS and COME JOIN US!
