Onsite Renovation Group Meets on December 3, 2019 with Stephen Jones
Posted on November 26, 2019 by
Come See Stephen’s Latest Rehab Project in Atlanta!
Tues, Dec 3rd at NOON
2586 Caladium Dr NE, Atlanta, GA
Atlanta Area Renovation Projects
Please 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%.
Stephen 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!
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. The purpose of the group is to allow both new and experienced rehabbers and investors to meet, network and share knowledge and experience with “hands on” access to real property.

There is an exciting new shared economy that has created a huge opportunity in real estate to increase your returns and profit, two to three times the regular rental amount of a traditional lease.
The short-term rental model keeps your property in better shape with the average stay of each guest limited to 3-4 days with professional cleanings and inspections in between each stay.
The cycle of evictions and minor rehabs in between each tenant is no longer an issue, along with, less wear and tear on the appliances, as most guests are eating out at local restaurants.
My name is Richard Munroe. On Monday, November 11th from 5PM to 9PM at the Richard Munroe located at 3125 Presidential Pkwy, Atlanta, GA , I will cover how to approach the market analysis and develop a conservative estimate of the short-term rental revenue based on the average nightly rate and the monthly occupancy percentage.
One of the main reasons for this industry’s growth and success is the Air Bnb platform. I will provide an introduction and overview of the platform from a host’s perspective. We will also cover the multiple ways to get started and how to navigate through all the new ordinances and laws on the city, county and state level.
Join me and we will discuss…
- Shared Economy
- Market Analysis
- Air BNB Platform
- Property Options
- Legislative Efforts
- Answers to your questions
- And more!
RSVP NOW and come learn more about the lucrative opportunity that short-term rentals have to offer!
Richard Munroe has over fifteen years of experience with acquiring and improving distressed real estate of over four hundred properties. Mr. Munroe is the managing member of Diamond Edge Properties, an Atlanta based real estate investment firm that specializes in the acquisition, management and hosting of short-term rentals.

Flipping Gwinnett on How to Determine Repair Costs Before You Buy with Panel of Rehabbers & Wholesalers
Posted on November 8, 2019 by
How to Determine Repair Costs Before You Buy
Tues, Nov 19th 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 a new 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.
In the real estate investing business, we always say “You make your money when you buy and you get paid when you sell.” In other words, you have to buy right in order to get paid well when you sell in this business.
In order to buy right, you have to know your numbers. The two big numbers you need to know to put a house under contract is 1) the value of the property (As-is Value vs After Repair Value) and 2) the estimated repair costs.
A few months ago, we talked about determining property value at Flipping Gwinnett. This month we are going to talk about how we quickly estimate the repairs so we can get a house under contract quickly. Once we get the contract, we can do our due diligence, especially if we are going to rehab the house, do a scope of work and more accurately determine the repairs.

“I like to think of sales as the ability to gracefully persuade, not manipulate, a person or persons into a win-win situation.”” ~ Bo Bennett
Was your stomach tied up in knots as you walked in to your first deal? Mine was! Have you done enough deals so you feel comfortable negotiating? Or does it still give you butterflies? How would you like some tips to make negotiations much easier? To get that bargain-basement price, and still meet your seller’s needs? Then this upcoming Expert Negotiating Tactics Workshop on Saturday, November 23rd is for you!
There’s no real mystery to negotiating. We do it every day, in every relationship. Your family negotiates every time you decide what to watch on TV. You negotiate with your spouse every time you figure out who is going to pick up the kids from school. You’re already doing it you just don’t realize it. But for some reason when people say the word “negotiation” people get nervous.
Well, for one thing, negotiation is a form of sales. In other words, buying is selling. Because when you make an offer on a house, you’re hoping to sell your offer to the other side. And being a salesperson scares a lot of people.
If you are lacking this confidence as an investor then this might be the most important workshop you attend all year. In order to be an expert negotiator, you need to make sure you are:
- Meeting the seller’s needs
- Building rapport with the seller
- Believing in your offer
- Providing the seller with an objective basis for your offer
- Overcoming the seller’s objections
Negotiating does not have to be something that makes you shudder. After this workshop, you will feel confident and have the knowledge and tools at your disposal to be able to walk into any negotiation feeling fully prepared to create a win-win deal.
At this workshop, you will learn about…
- 3 variables to every negotiation
- How to recognize non-verbal clues and use them to your advantage
- How to plan and gather information for successful negotiations
- How to use state of the art tools to do all your negotiating for you
- How to overcome all seller objections when buying a house
- How to create win-win deals so that everyone leaves happy
- And much, much more!
Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn how to be an expert real estate deal negotiator!
