52 Adair Ave SE, Atlanta, GA
Atlanta Area Renovation Projects
WE ARE BACK LIVE AND IN PERSON AGAIN FOR ONSITE! For your safety and the safety of others, please bring a face mask to wear.
Please join us on Tuesday, August 4th at NOON for the Atlanta REIA Onsite Renovation Group (ORG) to learn all about finding, funding, fixing and flipping houses for big profits right here in the metro Atlanta area.
This month’s meeting will be held at a major rehab project located at 52 Adair Ave SE, Atlanta, GA being managed by Michael Rochester and Demond Smith of RocDem Solutions. Many of you may recall that we first viewed this property when they first started the project 2 YEARS AGO on August 7th, 2018!
This was a 3 bedroom, 1 bath, 1566 sqft home built in 1935 that needed tons of work. Michael and Demond’s plans were to add about 300 sqft to the house on the first floor to the master bedroom which will include more bedroom space, a new master bath addition with his and her closets. Upstairs, they are adding space to a bedroom and adding a new bath.
When the project is totally complete, the house will be a nice, totally updated, approximately 1900 sqft, 3 bedroom, 3 bath home with an open floor plan.
Originally this project was only supposed to last 6 months or so…. but things went wrong along the way more than once. So, RSVP NOW and come join us at the house to celebrate this rehab’s 2 Year Anniversary (lol :) and learn many valuable lessons on overcoming problems that can delay your rehabs for months or even years!
The Atlanta REIA Onsite Renovation Group (ORG) is an educational and networking group led by Dustin Griffin and Don DeRosa that focuses on the acquisition, renovation and retail resale (fix and flip) of single family residential homes. The purpose of the 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.

Early on, Jason and Rachel decided to make a big change…and take charge of their own destiny by opening a mortgage company. They eventually built that business into a multimillion-dollar company, where they closed over 3,000 real estate transactions.
Then the market crashed and they had to find a new way to use their real estate talents. That’s when they went into real estate investing and started down a new path. Implementing the real estate strategies, they honed over time, they have since closed well over 400 real estate transactions, including pre-foreclosures, short sales, wholesales, probates, and all other types of deals.
They then decided to make another big change and start sharing their knowledge with other investors. They now run a top coaching program with the nation’s leading investors, own a profitable hard money lending company with over 2 million dollars in loans out to their coaching students at any given time, and continue to be co-owners of their local REIA…all while continuing to flip houses using the exact systems they teach!

Jason Roberts and Rachel Schneider
Posted on July 30, 2020 byJason Roberts and Rachel Schneider have always been fascinated by the world of real estate. In 2001, while still in their early 20’s, Jason and Rachel decided that instead of working for someone else, they would rather be in charge of their own destiny and opened a mortgage company. They eventually built that business into a multi-million dollar company, where they closed over 3000 real estate transactions. Then the market crashed and they had to find a new way to use their real estate talents. That is when they went into real estate investing and started down a new path. Implementing the real estate strategies they have honed over time they have since closed well north of 300+ real estate transactions (pre-foreclosures/short sales, wholesales, probates, etc).
Having seen pretty much everything, they decided to funnel that expertise into their true passion; sharing their knowledge with other investors. They now run a top coaching program with the nation’s leading investors, own a profitable hard money lending company, with over 2 million dollars in loans out to their coaching students at any given time, share their wealth of knowledge as co-owners of their local REIA all the while continuing to flip houses.
