Use What You Have To Get What You Want
Posted on June 2, 2011 by
Years 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→

Wholesaling 401 Workshop with Russ Hiner on June 11 & 12, 2011
Posted on May 30, 2011 by
Wholesaling 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!

You say flipping and real estate investing are dead?! Well, you need to meet Edith and Wanda! These two ladies have already made over $90,000 in the first four months of 2011— just by flipping houses! Yeah, baby!
I sat down for a quick interview with these two amazing women:
How did you get started investing together? “We met at work and, though we each invested in real estate on our own, we decided to do some deals together for the sheer joy of it. We combined our money, knowledge and experience and really started hammering out the deals.”
How do you find your deals? Read More→
Are Your Roots Planted Firmly?
Posted on May 25, 2011 by
David, a seasoned real estate investor, has been stuck in a rut and wanted to talk over his situation. Like many folks, he has yet to get back on firm ground since the real estate bubble popped in 2006.
When I asked him questions regarding how many sellers he talked to each week or how many real estate investor meetings he attended each month, he answered, “What’s the point? The real estate market is dead!”
And there was David’s problem. When the market collapsed, he essentially climbed into bed, pulled the covers over his head and decided not to come out again until the 2005 real estate market returned. Read More→
