Jeff KallerWhile it may seem unlikely to convert EVERY lead you get to cash, you can indeed dramatically increase the number of leads you convert to paying deals by using a combination of previously unknown techniques. On June 9, 2011, we held a very special webcast with Jeff Kaller where he revealed many of these secrets to our audience. These techniques are a real game changer since no one has ever really figured out how to make money on every single person that calls. Read More→

Jeff KallerI just loaded a few videos you will not want to miss. A friend of mine is using foreclosure defense strategies to buy houses at steep discounts. Like REALLY STEEP DISCOUNTS. But he is also taking all his dead leads that the sellers do not want to sell no matter what the reason and turning them into cash. So his mail campaigns cost nothing, he gets free leads and uses the attorney group to buy these properties at an absolute steal. It’s a powerful one two punch that helps homeowners and give you a super competitive edge. Need I say more? After the video you can see Jeff live teaching how to live debt free using these Foreclosure defense strategies. Click here to watch these killer videos.

How to do “Subject-To” Investing
with Mark Durham & Attorney Bob Witcher

Robert WitcherLast month, local real estate expert Don DeRosa introduced our group to “Subject-To” investing. Due to overwhelming demand from our members, this month at our Creative Financing Group meeting on Wednesday, June 8th at 6:30 PM at Champps at 7955 North Point Parkway in Alpharetta, GA (map), subgroup leader and real estate expert Mark Durham and local real estate attorney Robert “Bob” Witcher will discuss in further detail how you can buy houses “subject-to” without qualifying for a loan and with little or no money down. Attorney Witcher will discuss the forms and language you need to use to protect yourself as an investor as well as your seller.

  • If you don’t have good credit or a lot of cash to invest, but want to get in the real estate investing game, you can get started by buying houses without qualifying for a loan or having a lot of cash.
  • If you’re renting and want to own, or if you’re tired of your current home and want to move, you can buy a beautiful new home in an nice neighborhood and possibly pay less than you are paying in rent or on your current mortgage, without going to the bank for financing.

Real Estate InvestingIt’s amazing all the ways you, as a real estate investor, can make money in this market.  The problem is,  real estate investors – including me – get stuck in a rut using the same old deal-structuring technique over and over.

The real estate market is continually changing.  This means the deal-structuring techniques you use must change with it.  Think of it this way: You would be foolish to only have a big, dang hammer in your deal-structuring toolbox.  True, sometimes the job calls for a big dang hammer, but often as not, another tool suits the job better.

Let’s talk about a technique that is working well for us in this market.  It’s called the Option Agreement technique.  To better describe this technique, here’s an example of one of our real-world deals. Read More→

Real Estate InvestingYears ago, Pete Fortunato, one of our primary real estate investing teachers since 1999 (and the BEST creative deal structurer I know), taught us a lesson that has been critical to our success.  He said, “In order to create solid win-win deals, use what you have, to get what you need, to get what you want.”

When you read the above quote, you probably said to yourself, “What is Pete talking about?”  Do this: Write down his quote, and then get with some other like-minded folks and discuss it.  You’ll be pleasantly surprised how deep the discussion goes. Read More→

Russ HinerWholesaling is a great strategy for making quick cash, low risk, without the use of your credit, income, or money when done correctly. Wholesaling real estate is among the most popular investment strategies because anyone can do it — you don’t need a real estate license or a lot of money to start. And once you start, it’s nearly impossible to keep the money from pouring into your bank account.

This is the Atlanta REIA Wholesale 401 Workshop taught by Russ Hiner. We will teach you the 2011 wholesale strategies you need to succeed. There is no need for you to have money out of your pocket or credit, you do no repairs or work yourself and they are usually done in a few days or weeks.

We will take you step by step through the entire process of how to Wholesale real estate. All applicable forms and agreements with filled out examples are included.

The best part about wholesaling properties is that you don’t get bogged down with tenants, toilets, or holding costs. It’s all about finding a motivated seller, then selling them to motivated buyers for instant profit and moving on to the next big score. Find out how to get in on the action before it’s too late… register today!
