How to Wholesale Houses in the Changing 2019 Market with Vena Jones-Cox
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!

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!
ALL this money-making info, just $19 for Atlanta REIA Gold Members, $39 for Atlanta REIA Silver Members and $69 for Non-Members. Atlanta REIA Members can even bring a spouse, parent, child or parter who is also an Atlanta REIA Member at no additional charge! Register Now for this 2-For-1 Early Registration Member Special!

Learn About the Power of Partnerships with Ramon Tookes at Atlanta REIA on Feb 11, 2019

Join us at the Atlanta REIA Main Meeting on Monday, February 11th from 5PM-9PM at 3125 Presidential Pkwy, Atlanta, GA where Ramon Tookes will be discussing the The Power of Partnerships.
For investors with or without the cash and time to do real estate investing, going it alone or with a partner can be very appealing. However there are definitely some “pros” than “cons” with creating partnerships. Creating a partnership or teams are big steps, but there are proven reasons of effectiveness that are associated with why even the biggest and wealthiest family offices, funds, and individual billionaires choose to partner up in one way or another.
Watch Video from Ramon Tookes!
Ramon will teach on some real-life examples of successful partnership strategies, how teams can successfully work together, and offer sound advice on how to avoid problems. Ultimately, partnerships are no-brainers as they afford you leverage and allow you to scale your business!
- Partnering with lenders for leverage and purchasing power
- Partnering with other investors on a joint venture – everyone brings something to the table
- Partnering with a REALTOR who understands investor needs
- Partnering with various vendors for deep discounts on supplies, etc
- Answers to your questions and much more!
It’s often tough to succeed in this business alone! Come join us on Monday, February 11th at Atlanta REIA with Ramon Tookes and learn how partnerships change your business! RSVP NOW & DON’T MISS IT!

with Don DeRosa
Join Don DeRosa this month at the High Tech Home Buying Creative Deal Structuring Subgroup (AKA the “Meeting Before the Meeting”) as he discusses how to talk to sellers and get the information you need to make win-win offers.
If you are new, or even old for that matter, have you ever wondered what is the best way to approach a seller? Talking to sellers can be the single most intimidating task you can do when learning how to be a real estate investor. Believe me, I’ve been there, but If you want to be a creative real estate investor then you must master the art of asking “The 20 Questions.”
To make the right offer for your motivated seller it starts with understanding their problem first. Understanding their problem allows you to then craft a perfect solution for them. A perfect solution that gets them to say “Yes” almost every time.
So where do we start? We start by asking the RIGHT questions. We call these the MAGIC 20 questions. These questions will dig deep at the root of the seller’s problems and provide you with proper accurate information so you can formulate the ideal offer for your seller.
At this month’s meeting before the meeting I will cover all the questions you need to ask.
We will cover:
- What questions are important
- What questions are vital
- What are the 6 absolute question you must get answered on every deal
- What script to follow to ask these question
- How to get the seller to answer even the most personal questions with ease
- And then most importantly, what do we do with the answers…
After you are finished with this session you will be armed and ready to tackle any seller in any situation. You will be armed and dangerous and ready to formulate killer offers to your sellers. You don’t want to miss this session.
Don DeRosa is a part time real estate trainer and mentor and full-time real estate investor who actively buys, sells, hold, fixes and flips properties for huge profits now and long term cash flow later.
At 5:00 PM in the Main Lobby, we have a Vendor Trade Show that lasts throughout the meeting where you can come out and meet many of our participating Business Members and Vendor Guests who help sponsor our meeting. See a full list of our vendors and sponsors below as they are added.

Randy Hughes
Posted on February 1, 2019 byRandy Hughes, aka Mr. Land Trust, started life out on the wrong side of the railroad tracks. His father was an alcoholic and his mother was left to raise four children on a clerk’s wages. None of his relatives owned their own business … everyone worked for wages.
His father charged the weekly groceries so that the family would have food on the table. There was no stable income for any future education much less the current needs of the family.
No intellectual or financial direction was taught in his schools or church. No blood relative had anything to offer other than “working for the man” at an hourly wage. Bank savings and financial security was what only the rich had. He was doomed for financial failure and unhappiness for the rest of his life.
Randy knew that there MUST be a better way to live. He decided to break the cycle of poverty in his family genes. Education came first. Randy graduated from Eastern Illinois University and began buying single family homes for rental while in college. After college, the Randy tried many different types of businesses, but always came back to the Single Family Home as the IDEAL investment. Since purchasing his first rental house in 1969, Randy hasn’t looked back! Read More→

Come See Maria’s Newly Completed Rehab Project
in Atlanta, GA!
Tues, February 19th at NOON

Atlanta Area Renovation Projects
Please join us on Tuesday, February 19th 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 meeting will be held at newly completed rehab project located at 498 Oak Dr SE, Atlanta, GA being managed by Maria Rosenswike who is an active rehabber and frequent attendee at our Onsite Renovation Group.
This was 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1,242 sqft home that was built in 1962. The house was in pretty good shape and had been updated, but not to today’s standards. And the floor plan was not laid out very well and the ceiling was popcorn. It had a tiny front porch, no deck and a chain link fence.
Needless to say, Maria didn’t like any of this, so she renovated the entire house. She revised the floor plan in the master and added high ceilings. She refinished the existing hardwoods. She updated the bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, lighting and appliances. She updated the exterior, added a new front porch, deck, fencing and driveway. Come join us and see the finished project and see how she did it!

We can only pitch a limited number of deals to the Sharks, so the deals that don’t get pitched to the Sharks can be pitched during the “Rapid Fire, Deal Pitch Fest” after the conclusion of the Shark Tank panel.
Be sure to bring your contracts and plenty of business cards and flyers for our flyer table and enough for anyone who wants one. You can post your properties to our Atlanta Shark Tank Facebook Group and other Facebook Groups as well throughout the month.
INVESTORS, if you’re looking for a deal to purchase to fix and flip or to buy and hold, come prepared to write contracts and put down any necessary earnest money deposits. There will be plenty of deals being pitched to the Sharks and during the “Rapid Fire, Deal Pitch Fest”. If a deal is not already taken, all you have to to is decide if it is a “Deal” or “No Deal” and take action!
VENDORS, Reserve a Vendor Table for as little as $25, come check us out and and come prepared to meet lots of investors who are looking to do business with you. Vendor tables are cocktail tables that are available on a first come, first serve basis. Vendors will be setup in the “Game Room” at the Hudson Grille and be able to do Vendor Commercials in the “Dining Room” during the beginning of the meeting on a first come, first serve basis.
Eat, Drink, Be Merry and Make Deals Happen! Shark Tank is a “dinner” group and we kindly request that you buy dinner and/or drinks since the Hudson Grille allows us to take over their space and takes such good care of us. Please tip the wait staff well.
Bring your deals, your business cards, flyers and your haves, wants and needs to the meeting and come network with us!

Driving For Dollars & Door Knocking Workshop & Field Trip February 23, 2019
Posted on January 28, 2019 by& Door Knocking
We Meet at Golden Corral, 3888 Stone Mountain Hwy, Snellville, GA
Are you tired of waiting for deals to fall in your lap? When you drive neighborhoods looking for properties, do you know what to look for? Does the thought of talking with Sellers face-to-face make you nervous? Do you avoid knocking on doors because you’re afraid you don’t know what to say when someone comes to the door?
These are all very common fears that many beginning investors face when seeking out their first few deals. Learning how to deal with these issues early on can make the difference between your success and failure.
If you would like to overcome common challenges such as these, please be sure to join Don DeRosa and Dustin Griffin for this full day workshop & field trip where you will learn in the class and in the field…
Driving for Dollars
- How to market your business correctly
- What things you must have with you at all times
- What to look for when out and about looking for opportunities
- How to track down and find the owners of vacant properties
- How to put a follow up system in place to track every prospect
Door Knocking & Talking with Sellers Face to Face
- How to overcome your fear of talking to sellers
- What scripts to use for practicing talking to sellers
- How to ensure you get invited in the house
- What marketing material you need to have with you
- How to handle objections without knowing all the answers
- What marketing to leave behind if the owner isn’t home
- All this and more…
For the field trip, you will be paired up with another classmate and literally go into the field and drive for dollars, door knock and talk to live sellers as well as seeking out and finding vacant properties. If you follow our instructions, you will likely finish the day with several very hot leads.
If talking with sellers is a challenge for you, then you DO NOT want to miss out on this BRAND-NEW TRAINING EVENT we created just for YOU!
There will be lots of hands-on practical applications in this event unlike anything you’ve probably ever seen before. We will immerse you in the real estate investor experience so that you will quickly learn the skills you need to give you the confidence to talk with Sellers like a seasoned PRO.
