There are many lessons to be learned on this project, so come join us and see the transformation for yourself and find out more how you can get involved in fixing and flipping houses!

Investors, are you finding enough deals for your pipeline? Wholesalers, if you had more deals would your buyers still need more? Real estate agents, do you have enough listings or would a few more make your year even better?

this month’s event ONLY
We are pleased to announce that Roger Herring will be our special guest speaker this month at our Atlanta REIA South monthly meeting in College Park.
The IRS. Just hearing those 3 letters can send a chill up your spine, or even make one’s blood boil. Who can blame when that entity seemingly enjoys sticking its hands into your pockets to grab a chunk of your hard earned money.
In 2018, new tax laws were enacted to the benefit of many, and to the chagrin of a few. However, for you to take advantages of the benefits, you MUST know what they are.
The New tax laws have impacted entity selection, deprecation strategies for landlords, 1031 strategies, the new Qualified Business Income deduction, Power partnerships and how they work, and many other sweeping changes.
Roger Herring, Founder and CEO of Investors Accounting, one of the few firms totally dedicated to serving the unique needs of real estate investors when it comes to accounting and taxes.
Accounting for Real Estate Investors is something that is not taught in school. It is a unique field that requires specialized understanding in specific areas of the tax code that most practitioners do not even know exists. Roger works with investors year round, not just at tax time.
At this event you will learn 3 Strategies to send the IRS in the other direction:
- Use Depriciation Strategy to Save Now and Later
- Hire Your Children
- The Power Partnership
- And Ask an Expert Tax Q & A
RSVP Now and join us this Wednesday at the Atlanta REIA South/Multi-Family Real Estate Meeting at 6PM on Wed, August 8th at Club E at 3707 Main St. in College Park.
Roger is a 1991 graduate of The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, he served as an officer in the US Army Reserves for 8 years. Roger spent eleven years as a corporate accountant in positions ranging from associate management accountant to Chief Financial Officer. In late 1999 he founded Herring Business Services (HBS), a part-time venture specializing in the preparation of long-term business plans.

Posted on August 5, 2018 by
I grew up in retail and by the age of 12 was a partner in my first business. If you are a long term resident of Atlanta, you might remember the pretzel booth at the Atlanta Flea Market. Well that was me. At age 18, I was a licensed real estate agent, but gave it up years later to do other work. I have a BA in Management from Mercer University. I have owned several businesses over the years.
After receiving Yeshua (Jesus) as Messiah, I went back to school and received a BS in Biblical Education graduating Summa Cum Laude. As a hobby, I got into flipping houses after rehabbing a rental property for my mother-in-law. I oversee and manage her rental properties. 3 years ago, I started buying and fixing houses. I have bought and sold over 50 houses (worth over $6,000,000). I specialize in cosmetic fix and flips. I also wholesale deals to private investors. I am an all cash investor which gives me an edge over the hard money investor.
Many know me as Rabbi Scott Sekulow and others as “The Flipping Rabbi”. I believe I have been so successful so quickly because I follow a biblical approach to all the work that I do and I give a 10% tithe of the profits to God’s work first.
