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!

Never before in history have we had a platform that that gives you the ability to establish your brand faster and more cost effectively with greater reach and greater potential to find and convert leads than we do now with social media.

The prospects that we are trying to connect with everyday are spending as much as 2 hours per day on average browsing social media. So, if you aren’t putting your company, your solutions, and your opportunities on social media, then you are missing out on lost money, lost deals, lost time.

The first step is accepting that social media is a tool for your business and not just entertainment. From there, automated value-add content & lead generating campaigns will sky rocket your business.

  • Are you using social media to expand your business?
  • Do you view social media as a waste of time or as the massive market exposure opportunity that it is?
  • Are you consistently using social media but don’t see the reward for all the effort?
  • Are you READY for more lenders, more buyers, more property leads, more deals in your pipeline?

JOIN us at BIG ONLINE on Tuesday, November 27th at 7PM ET for EXACTLY how you can turn social media into lead generating machine for every business you own.

Together we are going to:

  • Learn how to generate leads automatically 24/7
  • See the exponential results you can have making some key changes to how you manage social media
  • Get the checklists you need, from basics to advanced, to take your existing social media effort to the next level
  • See how to start earning money on-line even when you are off-line
  • Grow and expand your brand starting immediately
  • Answer your questions and more!

Creative Deal
Structuring Workshop
Learn How to Become a Transaction Engineer & Put Together Deals Others Can’t!
A Full Day Real Estate Investor Immersion Workshop with Don DeRosa
Saturday, November 17th, 9AM-6PM
SOLD OUT – SOLD OUT – SOLD OUT
1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Ste D, Buford, GA

Don DeRosaWhen you come across a lead, do you know how to look at the information, analyze it and determine what to do with it next? There’s nothing worse than losing a deal because you don’t know multiple ways to structure the deal and how to present multiple offers to the seller.

We are in the midst of a sellers’ market. Although I wish it would never end, that simply isn’t possible. As Sir Isaac Newton once said “what goes up must come down“. He was referring to gravity of course, but the same can be said for real estate.

I want you to learn NOW, how to buy properties with no money down or with as little as possible because you can’t and shouldn’t always rely on traditional funding and traditional methods.
To be a good, creative deal structurer, two things need to happen…

  1. You need to become a problem solver. The better you understand the problem, the more solutions you can offer your seller.
  2. You need to become your seller’s partner. It needs to be a win-win scenario for everyone.

During the Creative Deal Structuring Workshop, I’m going to teach you how to collect the right information, how to analyze the details and then how to use it to create a win-win solution for you and your seller.

At this event, you will learn how to:

  • Ask the right kind of questions
  • How to perform proper due diligence
  • How to structure three different deals on each lead
  • How to become a top 1% by using techniques such as “subject to” owner financing, options, lease purchases and many more
  • How to structure deals that eliminate/limit your need for cash or credit
  • All this, plus answers to your questions and much more!

So join me, Don DeRosa, at the Creative Deal Structuring Workshop on Saturday, November 17th, 2018 from 9AM to 6PM at 1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Ste D, Buford, GA as we discuss multiple offer strategies, negotiating and creative deal offer making.

I will also show you how to use my “Easy Offer Maker” to make profitable offers every time, using multiple strategies like owner financing, subject to, options and lease-options. If you want to learn how to make money on every lead you get your hands on, then REGISTER NOW and come join us to learn how to structure deals creatively and become a transaction engineer.

Pitch Your Deals

WHOLESALERS, bring your deals and pitch them to the Sharks and our to attendees who are ready to put your deals under contract on the spot! Click here for more information on How to Submit Your Deals to the Sharks.

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 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.
