Guests Pay $15 Online or $20 at the Door. RSVP Now!

Stephen JonesPlease join us on Tuesday, December 3rd, 2019 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 rehab project is located at 2586 Caladium Dr NE, Atlanta, GA being managed by Stephen Jones.

This property is a deteriorated 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath, brick, 2-story house on a basement. In addition to the massive clean-out, there are multiple water leaks, animal penetrations and mold. Stephen purchased the property on November 8th for $290k, with $250k in owner financing at 8.5%.

Onsite PropertyStephen plans to keep the 4 bedrooms upstairs, but expand the master suite to have a larger bathroom and walk-in-closet, by moving the existing hall full bath to the end of the hall between 2 bedrooms. He also plans to create a laundry closet to the left of the stair landing.

On the main level, Stephen is planning to open the non-structural walls between the den and kitchen, and the kitchen and dining room. The kitchen will be moved to the existing dining room and the existing kitchen will become the dining room. The current formal living room will become a fifth bedroom, and a mudroom and full bath will be built in the space to the left of the front door that is currently an office.

Since the drainage exits the house at waist-height, creating a full bath in the basement would be very expensive, so he will simply finish half the basement into an entertaining space.

The existing sunroom will be divided in two: One half will remain heated/cooled space, the other a screen porch, with a new deck built off of that screen porch.

All windows and doors will be updated; along with all systems and mechanicals. The hardwoods will be repaired where needed and refinished, a new roof put on, and the exterior lot cleared of trees and re-sodded.

RSVP NOW and come join us at the Onsite Renovation Group to see this property before the rehab begins and see it again when it’s finished!

Chris RoodChris Rood will be our special guest this month at the Beginning Investors Group Online on Tuesday, November 26th at 7:00PM on Zoom Webinar. Chris will be talking about "Why Most People Fail as Real Estate Entrepreneurs" and what to do about it!

Chris says “I have been an entrepreneur for 18 years and I know what it takes to have a successful business and what it takes to scale a Real Estate Investing business to 6 markets in 4 states!

The secret is not what you think it is. It’s not a secret mailing list or some secret Facebook ad. This piece of advice hovers above all tactical marketing skills”

Join me on the BIG Online Webinar where I will be covering why most people fail as Real Estate Entrepreneurs and Entrepreneurs in general. I will be covering why you can’t scale you’re wholesaling business. Why you don’t have to do 20 deals a month to make a lot of money in this business.

I will be covering why you have to be dynamic as an investor and not be a one trick pony. Why your personal and family life have to be in order to be successful and how to brand yourself in your market.

Join Chris on the BIG Online Webinar where he will be covering…

  • Wholesaling
  • Wholetailing
  • Flipping
  • Private money
  • Mobile home parks
  • Personal development
  • Answering your questions
  • And more!
