That’s a BOLD promise! Anyone who is familiar with George Antone and his proven advanced strategies know they are in for a treat because George always fulfills on his bold promises!
George, a 3-time best-selling author and thought leader in the finance and investing space, has blown the lid off a new paradigm no one is teaching; or even talking about, until now!
Imagine low-risk and low-stress strategies that are implemented one time and placed on autopilot to work FOR you starting ASAP – all in 6 hours or less per month!
In fact, keep reading for a $100k+ strategy that will be revealed in this presentation!
No, this is not a “get rich quick” strategy, but a fascinating way to tweak finance to make it work for you in amazing ways!
The traditional methods of building wealth can be grouped into 3 main categories: Investing, Trading and Saving. These traditional methods work; however, they require a lifetime commitment of learning and implementation.
George has been working on this new paradigm, a 4th method, called “Hacking Finance” – that promises the ability to LEARN and IMPLEMENT each financial strategy within a total of 6 hours or less, and then place it on autopilot to keep working for you! Join us at the meeting to get your Complimentary Copy of “Hacking Finance”!
…and you are about to walk away with one of these $100k+ “shortcuts” just from this presentation! This is NOT an overnight $100k+ strategy, but something you implement one time, and it builds over a number of years into $100k or more on autopilot.
What if you are already investing or lending? Quite simply, these methods will increase your existing returns tremendously! Come discover from George’s #1 trainer how to boost your yields by combining this system with your existing investments!
That’s exactly why we’re excited to have Paul Rossano, George’s top trainer, as our guest speaker this month at the Atlanta REIA Main Meeting on Monday, April 8th from 5PM-9PM at 3125 Presidential Pkwy, Atlanta, GA!
Paul will also be sharing this new paradigm, and will give you details of ONE of those strategies that banks use (called “floats”), that you can use to skyrocket your wealth. Paul will demonstrate what you need to do the very next morning at your local bank to increase your wealth by $100k+ over a number of years on autopilot without the stress of risky investments… and this is just ONE of MANY strategies!
Some people work hard. Others work smart. This is working smart!
If you want your path to financial freedom made easier, then this is something you cannot afford to miss out on! It just might be what you are looking for!
With a few financial tweaks and this different approach, you’ll find you have more time and money to work with than you thought.
Leap forward financially with less risk, less stress, and more time to enjoy life!
So bring a notepad, bring a friend, and get to this meeting—it may change your financial life forever! RSVP NOW & DON’T MISS IT!

Due Diligence Boot Camp on March 23 & 24, 2019
Posted on March 9, 2019 byFor Busy Real Estate Investors Who
Want to Know & Understand the Numbers When Making Deals Happen!
When it comes to running a profitable real estate investing business, it’s all about knowing your numbers. If you’re off on your numbers, you may barely break even on a deal or even worse… lose big time!
You’ve probably heard the saying… “You make your money when you buy”. This means YOU MUST KNOW YOUR NUMBERS BEFORE YOU BUY!
So when it comes to knowing your numbers…
- Do you know how to really determine if you are buying a good deal or not?
- Do you know if you’re paying too much?
- Do you know how much profit you’re going to make?
- Do you know how to do all your due diligence before you buy and what to look for?
- Do you know how to accurately determine the AS-IS value of an ugly house?
- Do you know After Repair Value (ARV) of a property for a buy and hold vs a fix and flip (or a high end rehab vs a low end rehab)?
- Do you know how to accurately determine repairs and estimate repair costs before you buy?
- Are you totally comfortable using the numbers your buyer or sellers give you when working a deal?
- Do you know how to quickly run the numbers like a pro?
- Do you know the other types of due diligence you must do before you ever close on a deal?
If you answered “NO” to any of these questions, unfortunately you may be going to a real life, expensive, school of hard knocks seminar very soon if your not extremely careful!
Instead of learning these valuable due diligence skills the hard and expensive way, be sure to attend the upcoming, highly affordable, ALL NEW, Due Diligence Boot Camp with Don DeRosa & Dustin Griffin on Saturday & Sunday, March 23rd & 24th, 2019 from 9AM to 6PM at 3125 Presidential Pkwy, Atlanta, GA.

Learn How to Buy Houses Subject-To with Don DeRosa on BIG Online Webinar
Posted on February 26, 2019 byTues, Feb 26th @ 7PM on Zoom Webinar
in Today’s Real Estate Market
with Don DeRosa
“My name is Don DeRosa. I am a real estate trainer, mentor and full-time real estate investor actively buying, selling and holding properties each month for huge profits and long-term cash flow. When I first started almost 22 years ago, I thought I wanted to be a wholesaler and flip contracts because I thought I needed a bunch of cash to buy and hold, or buy and rehab houses. I was like everyone else starting out in this business. I didn’t have lots of money, so I thought wholesaling was the easy way to go.
Boy was I wrong. Fortunately for me I was introduced to a buying technique called “Subject-To” by a friend. This is a technique where the Seller deeds the property over to you (you own it) but leaves the loan in place and you simply continue to make the existing payments (you don’t have to go to the bank and qualify).
Well I must say this technique changed my life. Within the first 30 days of learning the Subject-To technique I bought 4 houses for one dollar each (yes, you read that correctly) and I have been buying them that way ever since.
I no longer have to sell the “Golden Goose” to make lots of money. Today I am working furiously at buying properties “Subject-To” using the existing financing on the seller’s home instead of having to go to a bank or a hard money lender for funding. This allows me to buy multiple properties fast, without coming up with all the purchase funds on the front end.
Subject-To is the perfect strategy to use in today’s market where easy funding is not readily available for investors to buy pretty houses. Buying houses “Subject-To” the existing finances is by far the most powerful technique is real estate today. You can control and own an enormous amount of real estate with very little money. Understanding how to get sellers to finance your deals is the ultimate investment strategy.
If you’re a person who doesn’t have a lot of cash, or doesn’t have good credit or simply doesn’t want to use your credit, then you need to attend the upcoming Tampa REIA meeting where I will be teaching you how to effectively use this technique. Learning this technique may very well be a life changing event for you like it was for me.
Join me at the Beginning Investors Group Online on Tuesday, February 26th at 7PM ET and I will share with you, many of the Subject-To tools and techniques I use every day to create winning deals for myself as well as my buyers and sellers.
I will demonstrate how to apply these strategies, tools and techniques, and show you exactly how to evaluate the lead, determine your exit strategy, structure the deal, negotiate with the seller and get the paperwork done almost instantly and without any of the hard work you normally do to get your deals done.
By the end of the presentation, you’ll know how to buy houses…
- Without using your own credit
- Without having to sign personally on a note
- Without having to qualify for a mortgage
- Without having much money
Also…
- How to recognize a “Subject To” opportunity and buy with little or no money!
- How to evaluate any lead and decide whether this is a winner for you and how much money you’ll make before you make your offer
- How to combine buying strategies and exit strategies – that work right now, in 2019
- How to structure a deal in less than 10 minutes, so that you make a minimum of $20,000 on it, choosing from multiple purchase and exist strategies
- How to determine the seller’s hot buttons so you can craft a deal the seller can’t refuse
- How to use my proprietary tools to negotiate for you, so you never let your emotions talk you into making a bad deal!
- And how to find all the money you need to do these deals so you have zero money out of your pocket.
Join me at the meeting as I really really drive these points home and give you all the Subject-To details you need to succeed in real estate investing. Once you are armed with my training and the tools, you will be able to do deals you never thought possible! RSVP NOW & DON’T MISS IT!”

Posted on February 20, 2019 by& Vendor Trade Show
3125 Presidential Pkwy, Atlanta, GA
with Vena Jones-Cox
RSVP on Facebook or RSVP on Meetup
Atlanta REIA Members Can Attend for no charge.
Guests Can RSVP Online Now for $15 or Pay $20 at the Door.
Join us at the Atlanta REIA Main Meeting on Monday, March 11th from 5PM-9PM at 3125 Presidential Pkwy, Atlanta, GA where Vena Jones-Cox will be discussing the How to Wholesale Houses in the (Very Different) 2019 Market!
Everyone knows that wholesaling is the quickest and easiest way to put cash in your pocket in the real estate business.
The problem is, most people don’t actually understand how to do wholesale deals when the market changes, like it’s doing right now.
Too many people are spinning their wheels “trying” to wholesale with little success, because they don’t seem to understand the key to wholesaling success.
Vena Jones-Cox knows, because she’s made millions of dollars wholesaling houses in hard in hot markets and cold. She’ll share her best in-the-trenches experience with us at our March 11th Atlanta REIA Meeting.
Be there to find out:
-
How wholesaling works today—it’s a very different business than it was even a year ago—and what you need to do to get started right now
-
Which properties in which areas make for the most profitable, easiest-to-sell wholesale deals, and which you should avoid because they’re huge time-wasters
-
How to make the right offer—the one that will make you $7,000, $10,000, or more in cash in just a few days—every time
-
How to put a property “under contract” in a no-risk way that allows you to get out if you can’t sell the deal, literally without using any of your own money
-
How to get your cash up front, before the closing, and never have to buy a wholesale deal before you sell it!
-
Answers to your questions and much more!
Vena is famous for her no-B.S. teaching and her ability to simplify tough concepts so that even a brand-new investor can easily grasp them.
Whether you’re a brand-new wholesaler or an experienced entrepreneur struggling to make more and better deals, you need to know what Vena knows about making even MORE money during the market slowdown.
So bring a notepad, bring a friend, and get to this meeting—it will change your financial life forever! RSVP NOW & DON’T MISS IT!
*Please Note: Meeting agenda is subject to change.

How to Make More Money with Junker Houses
There’s more than one way to make money with those cheap, ugly houses — and if you’re going to do more deals in 2019, knowing them is a real plus.
The big secret to lots of income in real estate is lots of deals, and the big secret to lots of deals is lots of contacts with sellers.
In this session, you’ll learn what your competitors don’t know about marketing (it’s a LOT more than just “send out lots of postcards) and about how to get the highest qualified response rate for the least money. Vena will share exactly how she gets over 50 seller leads each and every week, and how you can, too.
In this Morning Session, you’ll discover:
- How to Get Motivated Sellers Calling You All Day, Every Day
- How to attract more buyers to your wholesale deals by financing them (don’t worry, you don’t need your own cash to do that)
- How to sell your deals for twice the money wholesalers make with the “Repair for Equity” strategy
- How to flip bank-owned houses EVEN THOUGH they’re “non-assignable”, in theory
- And more!
How to Get Sellers to Finance Properties for You
Not every seller wants to sell at a cheap, cash price, and not every investor wants to flip every property. Some deals just don’t fit the “wholesale” model — they’re too pretty, or the seller owes too much, or maybe you’d rather just keep them for cash flow forever than take one quick check be done with it.
To maximize the number of deals you get from the leads you get, you need strategies that let you pay more than the average investor — and that’s seller financing terms. That’s why we learn about seller financing: so that we can pay sellers what they want (even when it’s “too much”) and get properties we can hold for long-term wealth and income.
If you’re not doing 4-5 seller financed deals a year, you’re not asking the right questions, and you’re leaving a LOT of deals (not to mention passive income) on the table. Come to this session and learn about zero percent seller financing, buying properties subject to the existing loan, and how to find sellers who will cheerfully let you take over houses with no credit check, no qualifying, and minimal cash investments.
Join us in the afternoon, and find out:
- How subject to, owner-held mortgages, and other seller financing strategies work, and which to use when
- How to get the holy grail of seller financing: a no down payment, no interest mortgage
- How to avoid the biggest mistake investors make: agreeing to pay too much, just because it’s no money down and no qualifying
- How to use seller financing to create huge wealth and cash flow—and some cash, too
- Answers to your questions and more!
