Jeff Kaller Will Show You How To Fill Your Money Funnel at Atlanta REIA on June 6, 2011
Posted on May 13, 2011 by
At our next Atlanta REIA Main Meeting on June 6th we are excited to feature the original founding father of today’s short sale techniques, Mr. Jeff Kaller. He has promised to share the refined plan he uses to turn over One Billion Dollars in negotiated short sale deals into his collective network. Don’t let the numbers scare you, he plans to lay out a blue print for how you can fill your deal pipeline (he calls it his money funnel) with productive deals that will produce cash. It’s the same techniques that he used to save over one million homeowners from the perils of foreclosure.
The strategies are simple,cost effective, and produce amazing results. Jeff will show you fully automated lead generation campaigns that find hard to locate homeowners who yield big profits. He also uses a virtual team of assistants to mine data and is willing to share scripts, letters and strategies he uses in his brokerage office in St Augustine to drive calls into his office. He was recognized by the local Atlanta media as the country’s most influential person in short sales and you can see an interview done by a local station on the registration page. Read More→

This is a Once in a Generation Opportunity
Posted on May 12, 2011 by
Recently, while having lunch, I bumped into a realtor friend. She asked how things were going. Then, leaning forward, asked, “Are you and Kim going to survive this terrible real estate market?” It’s funny how many times we’ve been asked this question.
Folks, Jack Miller– one of my primary real estate investing teachers (God rest his wise soul) – said it best: “This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity!” By this, he means that there has never been a better time to buy investment real estate.
Think about it. When was the last time you saw (1) So many homes sitting unsold on the market; (2) So few buyers looking for homes; (3) Home prices this low; (4) Interest rates this low; (5) Sellers this motivated; (6) Banks with so many properties in inventory; (7) This many foreclosures each month, and (8) Lenders so eager to agree to a Short Sale? The simple answer is – NEVER!!! Read More→

A Solemn Ride to Spalding County
Posted on May 9, 2011 by
It was a quite, solemn ride to Spalding County just a couple days after the storms to help with the tornado recovery, but it just looked like another ordinary Saturday ride in the country. Having stopped and got my biscuit and coffee, I noticed the boats behind the trucks presumably headed to the lake, the bicycles on the carrier off for a spin, folks setting up their yard sales and others getting ready @ the local flea market. Everybody seemed busy going somewhere, doing something. Everything seemed perfectly normal.
I remember thinking if all these folks even REALLY knew what kind of damage there was just down the road from where they were. I mean we see the snippets and hear the sound-bites on TV and we’re wowed or whatever but did these folks REALLY understand? Did they REALLY know what needs there were just down the road? I even thought did they even care? Certainly if they knew they would do something. Right? Read More→

How Do I Fix This Mess?
Posted on May 3, 2011 by
Since 2005, we’ve warned investors about the dangers of going to banks to get short-term financing on their real estate investing deals. (By “short-term financing,” I mean any financing with an adjustable interest rate and/or a term of less than 30 years.)
For the past six years, Kim and I have financed our deals through owner financing or using private money lenders – except for two idiotic, short-term bank loans we foolishly did in 2008.
I’m a real estate professional who is supposed to know what he’s talking about. So in 2008, when I claimed real estate values had bottomed out and that it was time to buy, I believed me. Read More→
What’s Happening at Atlanta REIA – Week of May 2, 2011
Posted on May 3, 2011 byWe had a great May Meeting last night at the W Hotel in Dunwoody. Attendance was high, participation was high and the energy was high! We had a great panel discussion with 3 attorneys (John Maurer, Fred Cross & Doug Shaddix) as well as 1 CPA (Eric Nicoll). They answered many excellent questions from the audience and now serve as a valuable, ongoing source of professional advice for our members and guests.
We also had a really fun “meeting after the meeting” at the Tilted Kilt Perimeter. Attendance was so high, we overwhelmed the wait staff, as we networked late into the night. Many did not leave until they turned the house lights on.
Atlanta REIA is helping make real estate investing fun and profitable once more for both new and seasoned investors. We want to thank all of our volunteers, members, guests and panelists who made it such a great night! We look forward to seeing you all the next Main Meeting and Late Nite Networking or at a subgroup meeting soon! Read More→
Fuller Center Helping Victims of Spalding County Tornado
Posted on April 29, 2011 by
Instead of working on Project Lakewood this Saturday, April 30th at 9 AM, Mark Galey and other Fuller Center volunteers will be assisting the tornado victims down in Spalding County. Here is what Mark told us… “I just spoke with the Commission Chairman of Spalding County. They need our help. They need folks with chain saws, muscles and maybe even small skid steers to help a poor area of their county hardest hit. If you are available to spend a few hours or the day in Spalding County on Saturday please let me know as we are working out all the details with government officials and will finalize those by tomorrow.”
They are meeting at 9 AM on School Rd in Sunnyside Community of Griffin, GA just off Hwy 19/41. For more information, please call or text Mark Galey at 404-867-3258.
Debt is a Cancer!
Posted on April 29, 2011 by
On April 15, 2011, the Feds closed Bartow County Bank. It’s the third local bank to fail since the real estate bubble popped in 2006. And this isn’t just a local thing. The big boys have also been dropping like flies: LaSalle, Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch, Wachovia, Washington Mutual, etc.
Here’s the irony: The feds forced these financial institutions to close because they carried too much debt. So what happened yesterday? The federal government had its credit rating down-graded because the government is carrying too much debt! (But who polices the police?)
In addition, Kim and I know plenty of real estate investors who have gone under in the last few years…and it’s not just investors who have tanked. So have a ton of realtors, mortgage brokers, bankers, contractors and builders! Read More→
