Brian purchased his first piece of real estate in 2008. Making the leap out of the financial software industry, he jumped full time into real estate as a wholesaler and rehabber.
Gaining traction as a wholesaler, Brian expanded into other strategies including land trades, private lending, rentals, and buying/selling on terms through owner finance. He’s seen first-hand how becoming a deal architect is required to get deals done at today’s seller’s “kitchen table”.
Brian also realized the reality of wealth building using real estate secured assets which inspired him to dream of connecting people and educating others so they too can build wealth using real estate. Brian has been teaching and consulting investors since 2017 and is very excited to bring his passion and experience to the NoteSchool team.
Brian is a family man first, he’s married to his high school sweet-heart Chelsea, and has two amazing kids that drive him to be a change-agent in the world.

with Don DeRosa
Join Don DeRosa every month at 6PM SHARP at our Meeting-Before-the-Meeting that we like to call the High Tech Home Buying Creative Deal Structuring Subgroup that meets one hour BEFORE the Atlanta REIA Main Monthly Event.
This month… the big question on everyone’s mind right now is WTF…. No, not “Wow That’s Fantastic!” What does all of this quarantine stuff really mean and how is it going to affect the real estate market going forward? Who will be able to buy? What will we be able to buy? When will we be able to buy? Where will we be able to buy and most importantly, HOW?
Well I can answer that in two words… OWNER FINANCE. Owner finance will be the go to buying method in my opinion in the foreseeable future. If you want to thrive in the coming market instead of just limping by then you will undoubtedly need to learn how to buy Real Estate creatively through techniques such as Subject To, Wrap Around Mortgages and Leasing with Options to buy. These will be the most important techniques that you can learn going forward.
At the Meeting-Before-the-Meeting I will discuss the WHO, WHAT, WHEN and HOW we will need to be buying in the coming months.
We will discuss how to buy and how to sell creatively to open up the opportunities without having tons of cash to do it.. We will discuss how to buy using other peoples money and them how to turn around and sell it without traditional financing and how you can make even more money than you thought possible. Join me as we talk about SUBJECT TO, WRAP AROUND MORTGAGES and LEASE OPTIONS. Don’t miss it.
Join us at the Meeting-Before-the-Meeting each month where Don will teach you about different real estate investing purchase and sale strategies to put more money in your pocket as as well as state-of-the-art tools and techniques you’ll use to evaluate deals and figure out how to make them work. You’ll learn to work less and earn more so you can spend more time where you want, when you want and with whom you want.
