Flipping Gwinnett Meeting on LOW Priced, CASH Flowing Properties
Posted on February 10, 2020 by
Purchasing SUPER LOW Priced Houses with Returns Up to 45% or More!
with Scott “the Flipping Rabbi” Sekulow & Roger “the Flipping America Guy” Blankenship
Tues, Feb 18th at 6:30PM
We Buy Ugly Houses Office
2300 W Park Pl. Blvd, Suite 110
Stone Mountain, GA
The Atlanta REIA East Monthly Meeting, aka “Flipping Gwinnett” is an Atlanta REIA educational and networking subgroup lead by Scott “The Flipping Rabbi” Sekulow and is held on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6:30 PM at Scott’s We Buy Ugly Houses Office located at 2300 W Park Pl. Blvd, Suite 110 in Stone Mountain, GA.
Imagine purchasing a house for $10,000, do no repairs, sell for $1000 down and $500/mo for 7 years. What would your return on investment be? $43,000 total received, $33,000 in income and interest. 330% / years = $47%.
How does this work? Join Scott Sekulow & Roger Blankenship at Flipping Gwinnett and they will tell you about all about this new technique they are using to make 45% or more per property.
Scott says “It’s always been tough to find contractors. And in the past few years, it’s getting increasingly difficult to find good deals to flip. They all seem to involved huge repair budgets, major capital commitments, and risk. What if you could place relatively small amounts of money into cash-flowing properties that could make a 45% or more return?
I’ve joined an exclusive network that has been the Number One buyer at auction.com for six years straight and buying REOs for 14 years. Our network has bought more than 15,000 houses from multiple auction and REO sites during that time. We have access that the average auction buyer won’t get. We are consistently finding livable houses for around $10,000 with the kinds of returns that are hard to beat anywhere.”
Join Scott & Roger at the meeting and they will discuss how to…
- Get access to select properties that fit this criteria
- We provide resources to help you advertise and sell the house
- We provide the paperwork for your buyers
- When you buy from us we are standing by to help you and answer your questions
- No property management
- No major repairs
PLEASE NOTE: Atlanta REIA Members can attend at no charge with a valid membership card. Non-Members pay $10 at the door.

Does talking to Sellers on the phone make you sweat? When you drive neighborhoods looking for ugly properties, does it stress you out because you don’t know what to look for?

These are all very common fears that all beginning investors have when seeking out their first few deals. Learning how to deal with these issues can make the difference between your success and failure.
If you would like to overcome challenges such as these, please be sure to join Don DeRosa & Dustin Griffin in a two day, hands-on workshop where he will teach you…

with Mentor Sharoney
During Mentor Sharoney’s presentation, she will reveal how her leverage system works, especially in Real Estate.
“One of the main things I teach all my mentees is “Leverage Thinking” which is using the very thing you ALREADY have and getting BETTER results from it.
Investing in Real Estate isn’t any different.
How do I take the same 1000-1500 sqft house that generates $900 of rent and make much more profitable? At least double?
What will be my strategy? When the regular, existing strategy failed to bring good enough results?
How do I get much more rent? Why would someone pay more?! My Tenants barely pay it now?!
I had to be my own mentor, I’ve applied my system of “Leverage Thinking” to my real estate investments and it worked!
On Monday at Atlanta REIA, I will show you how you can do it too!”
Watch Video from Mentor Sharoney!

This month’s meeting will be held at 44 Lethea St SE, Atlanta, GA. This property is being managed by Ty Jackson and Chrissy Griffin. The property was purchased from a wholesaler and had already undergone some renovations.
The original owner was an out-of-state investor and was unable to finish the rehab. The original floor plan was a 3 bedroom, 3 bath home with an open floor plan. Also, the front porch had been closed in to add a little additional square footage. The exterior was quite ugly and looked like a modular home.
During the rehab, Chrissy and Ty re-did the exterior, opened back up the front porch and move the front door from the side of the house to the front. They also completely renovated the interior. Maria Rosenswike is staging the home this weekend and the house will be ready to view for Onsite.
Come join us to see the finished rehab and to learn about many of the challenges this home had during the rehab process. RSVP Now!

In fact, Warren Buffet was asked what is one piece of advice he would give to budding graduates and his answer was “The one easy way to become worth 50 percent more than you are now — at least — is to hone your _____________.”
Are you curious what this one skill is? Do you want to learn how to hone it better? Then, you don’t want to miss this event! Make sure to attend B.I.G. on January 20, 2020 at Hudson Grille in Sandy Springs!

Onsite Renovation Group at Malhar & Danielle’s Finished Rehab
Posted on January 16, 2020 by
Come See Malhar & Danielle’s Finished Rehab!
Tues, January 21st at NOON
575 Connally St SE, Atlanta GA
Atlanta Area Renovation Projects
Please join us on Tuesday, January 21st at NOON for the Atlanta REIA Onsite Renovation Group (ORG) to learn all about finding, funding, fixing and flipping houses (or holding) for big profits right here in the metro Atlanta area.
This month’s meeting will be held at Malhar Bhagat & Danielle Jasmine’s newly finished rehab located at 575 Connally St SE, Atlanta GA.
When Malhar and Danielle purchased the property, it was a poorly functioning 4 bedroom, 3 bath home. It looked like it was in MUCH BETTER condition than it actually was. The property had a huge water drainage problem because a previous owner had dug a ditch around the entire home which caused water to collect after EVERY rain. At times, there were as much as 9 inches of water in the entire crawl space.
Now, Malhar and Danielle have brought it back to its former glory with a stunning renovation. This property was LIFTED, (yes, lifted), moved and a new foundation was built, a new floor system and had about 95% new framing installed throughout.
In addition, all of the systems in the house are new, including a new roof and new siding! This home’s elevation was increased by over 4 feet and now water is moved away from the property.
This labor of love now shines as one of the area’s NICEST homes and the quality of work is impeccable! You’re GOING to WANT to come see this one and hear valuable lessons learned!
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.

Amy Ransdell is a social media master who will teach us how to tap into the power of these platforms to build up our business quickly and effectively. From presentation to lead generation, this meeting will teach you what you need to know to ensure you are known and easy to engage to obtain the leads you seek.
You will learn why your presentation matters, why what you say matters, how you engage matters and how all of this connects with the ability to generate leads effectively. Join us to learn…
- The similarities and differences between Facebook and Instagram
- How to create and/or enhance your brand
- Why anything you post matters
- Engagement – what does it really mean to engage and how to respond
- Bringing leads in organically
- Advertising – understanding how they work before you spend big money
Facebook and Instagram are the top two social media platforms on the planet. Leveraging them is critical to expand your message, your brand and ultimately to get more leads to increase income today. RSVP Now and be here to learn how to do that effectively starting right now!
Marketing Madness is hosted by Dustin Griffin & Frank Iglesias who will be bringing in local and national real estate experts and marketers each month to teach investors how to consistently market for deals in order to survive and thrive in our ever changing economy and real estate market. The entire purpose of the group is to teach investors how to be Marketers aka “Lead Generating Machines” so they can have an unlimited source of leads and potential income.

43% or MORE! That’s how much of YOUR INCOME you could give back to the government! Once you have MADE the money, wouldn’t it be great to KEEP IT? There’s a way and it is perfect for you!
You got into real estate because it is big money and awesome tax breaks. Then you go to your accountant at tax time and you find out you owe a whole pile of money! What happened to the tax breaks? They are plenty of tax breaks for real estate, but you don’t qualify because you’re in the wrong kind of real estate or only doing real estate one way.
When people think of real estate investment, they’re often thinking about flipping or wholesaling property. After all its fast and its sexy. The problem is these activities generate ordinary income, the most taxed income there is! How do you shelter it? The answer is traditional rental properties!
It is no secret that most investors have built real long-term wealth using traditional rentals. Why does it work? Because rentals have extremely favorable tax treatment: We get to reduce income now. We get preferential treatment on sales. We can even defer our gains indefinitely.
Come to the Atlanta REIA Main Meeting on Monday, January 13th and let me show you why I have clients that have PAID NO TAX in over 10 years! I call it “Making Money Without Making Money.”
Join me at Atlanta REIA and you will learn:
- The Power of the IRS Designation Real Estate Professional
- The Phantom Loss: What it is and how we create it
- Depreciation Strategy: The landlord’s best friend
- Cost Segregation Strategies
- Using 1031 exchanges
- Other People’s Money-Correctly using leverage
It’s your MONEY. Come out on Monday, January 13th from 5PM to 9PM at the Atlanta REIA Monthly Meeting at 3125 Presidential Pkwy, Atlanta, GA and let me show you how to protect it from the TAXMAN!
*Please Note: Meeting agenda is subject to change.
