Bullet Proof Your Assets & Learn About Trusts from Dyches Boddiford on Aug 27
Posted on August 15, 2012 bywith Dyches Boddiford on August 27th
Whether you are a seasoned investor with a lot of houses, or just starting out, you don’t want to miss this chance to hear and meet Dyches Boddiford up close and personal on August 27th at 6:30 PM at the Atlanta REIA West Meeting being held at the Cherokee Cattle Company at 2710 Canton Road in Marietta, GA. Even if your credit is in the toilet and you have no assets, judgment proofing can be useful to you. Learn how to protect yourself from lawsuit predators. Protect yourself from crazy tenants who are looking to sue someone and make a quick buck. Or you rear end someone in traffic, automatically you are at fault… right. What if you never had to be worried about being sued? Well, anyone can sue anybody at any time… but the key is, they can’t collect one thin dime from your personal, family or corporate assets if you follow Dyches’ advice.
I hate to say it, but the awful truth is there are people out there who make their living suing people. So you forgot to fix that loose step on your rental property and someone slips and falls…the nine year old who came over to play with your kids fell off the trampoline… your underage teenage driver has an accident (and the likelihood of that is really high)…these are all potentially very costly occurrences if you aren’t set up with bulletproof asset protection. Take Dyches’ advice and you can sleep like a baby at night knowing that you and your family are protected.
Gurus come and gurus go, yet Dyches Boddiford has been around for a long time. He is going to be around a lot longer, you can count on it. Why? Because Dyches is the REAL deal in real estate, for real! A man of integrity, you can count on what he says. He is not some advertising hype trying to make a quick buck selling courses that don’t work. He truly knows asset protection inside and out. You can take what he says to the bank!
This is an opportunity you don’t want to miss. Bring your friends, partners and family for an informative, nuts and bolts presentation. FREE to Atlanta REIA members, and if you are not a member this is your opportunity to learn from the very best in the country…for the price of a Starbucks coffee (just $5 for non-members). Everyone who attends will get real life information that you can implement into your life situations NOW. Read More→

The Magic Happens at the Seller’s Kitchen Table – Part 1
Posted on August 1, 2012 by
For real estate investors, the magic happens at the seller’s kitchen table! Three Big Questions: How do you get to the seller’s kitchen table? Once there, what do you say? Finally, how do you “convince” the seller to sell you his/her home?
Austin Boston Berry recently graduated from Georgia Tech. There were two career paths from which he could choose: Either get a J-O-B with a big company working in a cubical and becoming a wage slave, or go to work for himself without the “security” (or constraints) of working for someone else. Austin Boston chose the brave – and much harder, hungrier and riskier – path of going to work for himself. He decided to become a real estate investor – in the worst real estate market this country has ever seen!
Before making his decision, Austin and I spent a good bit of time together. It was critical that he understand what it takes to be a successful, full-time real estate investor…especially starting out. Simply put: You gotta meet face-to-face with a minimum of 15 sellers each and every week. There is no shortcut to this primary directive. Meet with any less and you will fail. Period. Read More→
