Since we’re meeting online, you must submit your deals for the Sharks to review in advance of the webinar.
Just so you know, during this pandemic, the Sharks are looking for “Steals”, not marginal pre-pandemic “Deals” from a month ago. Regardless, as time permits, the Sharks will quickly review your deals and give you their honest, unvarnished opinions. The more information you provide to the Sharks, the better.
If the Sharks like your deal, one of them may buy your deal immediately. If not, you will get three honest opionions of why they don’t like it and what you can do to make it a better deal for yourself and your potential, future buyers. Follow the instructions below to submit your deals.
GOT A DEAL FOR THE SHARKS?
Send your Deals for the Sharks to review to leads@homebuyersinc.com with the subject line “SHARK TANK DEALS“. Please submit enough info and photos for them to make a more informed decision.
If you have deals you would live EVERYONE to see, post them on our Shark Tank Deals Facebook Group at: facebook.com/groups/atlantasharktank/

COVID-19 Market Update Webinar – Making the Best of a Bad Situation
Posted on April 14, 2020 byMAKING THE BEST OF A BAD SITUATION
Please Register at AREIA.us/BEST and join us on Thursday, April 16th @ 7:30PM for this special townhall style panel discussion on the State of the Market During COVID-19 and beyond. We wil be talking about how to make the best of a bad situation if the economy continues to decline for many more months.
Our Panel will consist of Alan Conner of NovaPoint Capital, Amy Ransdell of Powerhoue Real Estate, Todd Burkhalter of Drive Planning, Roger Herring the Investors Accountant, Kenneth Igwe of Baker Collins and David Bradford of Drive Planning. Dustin Griffin will be your moderator.
Our panel will bring wisdom and insight from multiple disciplines to help explain what is happening in the current and post COVID-19 economy and how people and business owners can find ways to survive and even thrive in this challenging time.
As the conversation of the economy bouncing back like a “V” shape is now being replaced by a more realistic appraisal, it is clear that people need to understand how to adapt their playbook to a new game that will take them through not a few weeks but months and months of instability.
What will an extended decline of the economy mean for real estate investors in terms of lending practices and getting access to money? How will the real estate market respond if the economy continues in decline for months to come? What tools and leverage is available from the government and from business law that can allow your business and real estate investments to weather a prolonged storm?
This panel seeks to be a town hall environment where you will learn how to plan for the worst — for a prolonged declined economy, take advantage of the economic stimulus legislation while still hoping for the best.
Finally we will hear on how to create a bulletproof strategy for wealth building that will make you immune to such a challenging time should it ever happen again.
Join us to learn…
- How could people have been better prepared to weather this storm financially?
- What does this crisis teach us about diversification and asset protection?
- What are the big assists that the stimulus legislation offer business owners and real estate investors?
- How can the stimulus create unforeseen opportunities for businesses?
- What can you do to position yourself for the opportunities that will be there when the pandemic is resolved?
- If Wall Street was strong, how did it crash so abruptly?
- Is now the time to be buying or selling?
You haven’t been given a full picture of how to survive a prolonged economic crash. Do not be uninformed. What you learn here can be the difference between surviving and thriving or being crushed by the crash. Register Now to Join Us!
Find Out Why Wholesaling Will Still Work at BIG with Glen Glasper
Posted on April 14, 2020 bywith Glen Glasper
Join us at the Beginning Investors Group (BIG) on Monday, April 20th at 7PM ONLINE at http://AREIA.us/BIG with our special guest speaker, Glen Glasper, who is going to be talking about “Why Wholesaling Will Still Work” despite the pandemic we’re in right now.
Despite what you may be hearing social media, wholesaling and flipping houses is NOT dead! Wholesaling (if done properly) has been and always will be a great strategy in real estate investing regardless of the market cycle.
Primarily, because real estate will always be bought, sold, rented and or traded on some level. The goal of a real estate investor that practices the strategy of wholesaling is to get in between those transactions.
In these stressful times, it is important to stay educated about the best practices of wholesaling and to be sure that everything is done with the highest of integrity and to always create win, win-win situations for all parties involved in the transaction.
Join me on the BIG Webinar and Glen will teach you…
- Why wholesaling still works
- Wholesaling best practices
- Types of deals that can be wholesale
- Virtual Wholesaling
- JV Wholesaling
Register for the BIG Webinar NOW and join us to learn how to wholesale houses the right way, now during this pandemic and beyond!
As always, Atlanta REIA, Tampa REIA, Savannah REIA & Chattanooga REIA Members can attend the meeting at no charge and not-yet-members can RSVP Online for $15.
Glen Glasper, affectionately known as, “MrDollarOutofaDime”, is a real estate entrepreneur, mentor, and coach with over 21+ years of experience involved in real estate investing.
Glen is the Founder of #RealLifeRealEstateInvesting. The organization birthed in 2016 with the purpose to educate people on the true ins and outs of the real estate business; “NOT as seen on TV”, as well as, inspire individuals to believe that they can be successful despite the very REAL obstacles.
He hosts a real estate investing show every Wednesday at noon. You can catch it on on Facebook and Instagram Live, where he speaks to real estate investors from around the country on various topics of real estate investing.
The Beginning Investors Group (BIG) is an educational and networking group for new investors who are just getting started in real estate investing as well as “new again” real estate investors who’ve taken a few years off and are looking to get back in the game.
BIG is hosted by Dustin Griffin who will be bringing in local and national real estate experts to teach new investors how to survive and thrive in our ever changing economy and real estate market.The entire purpose of the group is to help new investors get their first deal and help new again investors get their next deal.
This is a “dinner” group and we kindly request that you buy dinner and/or drinks since the Hudson Grille allows us to meet there. There will be lots of learning and lots of networking. Bring your deals and your haves, wants and needs to the meeting for discussion.
Brian Lauchner
Posted on March 31, 2020 byBrian 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.
