Webinar Replay: Real Estate Investing with Ron LeGrand
Posted on December 27, 2010 byWant to Learn Real Estate Investing From a Living Legend?
Last week, I interviewed the “Guru of all Real Estate Gurus,” Ron LeGrand. The webinar was an amazing success and we maxed out our available number of “seats”. We had quite a few people ask if there was a way they could watch a replay because they missed it or because there may have been a detail or two that they missed. You’re in luck. We recorded it! And you can see it below.
Ron went over the 4 basic models of real estate, and will show you how to be profitable in all 4. Not only that, but he actually gives away something of great value ($497) at the very end of the webinar! Read More→

Atlanta REIA has asked Joe Thompson of the weekly Have’s and Wants Meeting to host Atlanta REIA’s new Have’s and Wants Speed Marketing Session starting January 3rd at 5:30 PM at the Atlanta REIA Main Monthly Meeting. Our goal for this session is the same as at Joe’s Thursday meetings. Joe says “Were looking to aid our members who HAVE things they no longer wish to have as well as those members who WANT things they have been unable to find through their own networks. Our Mission is to increase our members networks and their ability to access the resources necessary to increase their business.” This session is all about making deals happen, so bring in your have’s and wants and share them with our live audience. It gets even better… we will be video recording the Speed Marketing Session and putting it on AtlantaREIA.com for 24/7 playback. This is a great way to spread the word about what you may have or want with our members, guests, friends and followers online and off. Come join us, bring your deal flyers and share your haves and wants and make deals happen!

After the Speed Marketing Session, Dustin Griffin is going to show you how to upload pictures and videos to Facebook from your PC or cell phone and tag yourself and your friends if you don’t already know how. Using pictures and video is a great way to network and make friends in-person and to continue networking online long after the meeting and party is over.

How I Got Started in Real Estate Investing
Posted on December 16, 2010 byHave I ever told you how I got started in Real Estate Investing? This is a TRUE Story…
I was nervous. I was confused. I didn’t know if real estate investing was going to work for me, but i really wanted it too! It was my first deal and I was doing it with another investor who wanted to use my money. I thought I had everything set.
If it DID work, I was going to get my money back and make a BIG chunk o’ change. If not, I faced embarrassment and shame in front of my friends and family. I had read a few books. I had studied the concepts. I thought I did everything right.
Wrong! Luck was not on my side. Although I did the deal, I ended up getting cheated by the other investor and I lost all of my money. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong! Ever hear of “Murphy’s Law?” Yeah. It was like that but a lesson well learned.
I could feel the pain, anger and confusion boiling in the pit of my stomach like a bad Mexican meal. I was almost ready to quit – even after just ONE deal! But something inside me made me give it another try. I knew it was my fault that I screwed up and allowed myself to get taken advantage of by another investor who knew a lot more than I did.
Being a professional college student for many years, I figured I just needed a little guidance and training. After all, if it worked for so many other people, why couldn’t real estate work for me? So rather than give up, I decided to DO something about it. I had to make myself smarter. I had to learn some more and get the right training like I did in my college days.
But where could I go? Who could teach me? This was before I even knew real estate investor groups like Atlanta REIA even existed.So I began my search. (Read more to see what I discovered!) Read More→

If You Don’t Play, You Can’t Win
Posted on December 14, 2010 by
Recently I attended another Real estate Seminar. It was held at an upscale hotel. There were the usual cast of characters in the room… a cross section of beginners to experienced investors. I saw a number of familiar faces. Folks from the local REIAs were in attendance. The instructor was upbeat confident and appeared a knowledgeable doer. He asked the audience 2 telling questions:
- How many of you are making 10 offers a week?
- How many of you have a buyers list?

New December 2010 Poll: How do you feel about business who refuse to say “Christmas”?
Posted on December 9, 2010 by
Christmas is without a doubt the most celebrated holiday of the year by people of many faiths. Christians celebrate Christmas as the birth of Christ along with the other features and benefits of Christmas such as being with loved ones, giving and receiving gifts, Santa Claus, Christmas trees, the Christmas feast, etc. Many people observe these Christmas traditions whether they are Christian or not. Over the past few years, to avoid offending a very select and vocal minority, many businesses have stopped using the word “Christ” or “Christmas” in their advertising. Instead of “Christmas” they say “Xmas” or “Holiday”. Instead of “Merry Christmas” they say “Happy Holidays”. (Read More & Take Our Poll) Read More→
