Why Fixing & Flipping is Better Than Wholesaling
with Ramon Tookes on FEB 12, 2018

Atlanta REIA Members Can Attend at No Charge. This month,
Guests Can RSVP Online Now for $20 or Pay $25 at the Door.

Ramon TookesAs the market continues to get hotter and hotter, more investors are jumping in to take advantage of the trend. Some will be successful investors and others will not. That’s just the reality of the business.

Many are not successful because they don’t have the proper resources. Many are not successful because they don’t have the proper training or guidance. Many are not successful because they don’t have the right plan and/or exit strategy.

What’s your plan and/or exit strategy for your real estate investment business? Is it buying and holding? Is it wholesaling? Is it fixing and flipping? All three are very good strategies when the’re used properly, but there is a “myth” that wholesaling is the best way to start investing… but this month’s speaker, Ramon Tookes, strongly disagrees!

Please RSVP and join us at the Atlanta REIA Main Monthly Meeting on Monday, February 12th starting from 5:00PM to 9:00PM at 3125 Presidential Pkwy, Atlanta, GA, and Ramon will show you why “Fixing and Flipping” is much better than wholesaling. If you don’t belive it, come out and see Ramon and he will show you why he strongly belives this is true and why you should too.

Join us and you will learn…

  • Why most people feel like Wholesaling is the best place to begin in real estate investing… They ARE WRONG!
  • Why Most people feel like Fixing and Flipping is too risky… They ARE WRONG!
  • Why most people don’t know how to be truly be successful at either Wholesaling or Fixing and Flipping
  • How Fixing and Flipping offers a much bigger profit spread
  • How Fix & Flips offer more control of the entire deal
  • How Fix & Flips allows you to work on a smaller number of properties and make more profit per year.
  • Answers to your questions and much more!

Ramon Tookes is a real estate investor, coach, author, wealth builder, public speaker, radio celebrity and developer with 20+ years of experience in the industry. Ramon currently oversees the daily operations of The Tookes Group, a firm that he founded in 2005, specializing in real estate investment consulting.

Mark your calendar because all this is happening on Monday, February 12th at the Atlanta REIA Main Monthly Event. RSVP NOW & DON”T MISS IT!

Marketing Successfully
For Your Deals
Feb 12th Meeting Before the Meeting
with Don DeRosa

Please RSVP on Meetup.com

Don DeRosaIn any business, having customers come through your door, calling you and placing orders on the phone, visiting and ordering from your website, is what put dollars in your business. How did all that happen? Marketing, of course! How do you market if you are looking to buy a house or sell one? What types of marketing can you do? How do you stretch those dollars set aside for marketing purposes so you can get the best “bang for your buck”?

There is no one better to teach you how to get your marketing together other than Don DeRosa. If you have the drive and desire to make 2018 your best year ever, then join us at the Meeting Before The Meeting at 5PM.

Join Don DeRosa every month at our High Tech Home Buying Creative Deal Structuring Subgroup that meets one hour BEFORE the Atlanta REIA Main Monthly Event at City Of Light. Don will teach you about the state-of-the-art tools and techniques you’ll use to evaluate deals and figure out how to make them work – so you can work less and spend more time where you want, when you want and with whom you want.

Its an amazing time to be a real estate investor. Don’t look back 5 years from now and wish you had acted. Learn how to plan right… Learn to Make More and Work Less, Right Now!

Highly Effective Strategies for Finding Deals in Today’s Competitive Market
with Amy Ransdell
Atlanta REIA Members Can Attend at No Charge.
Guests Pay $15 Online or $20 at the Door. RSVP Now!

Amy RansdellInvestors, 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? If you poll investors, wholesalers, or agents, one of the most common challenges they face is lead generation for acquisition.

We hear so many people complaining about this being a low-inventory market while others are bringing in deal after deal. So, how do we know which lead generation techniques work best? How do we decide where to spend our marketing dollars? How do we build systems that bring in a consistent flow of opportunities?

If you are an investor who is always looking for new, cutting edge ways to find more deals and make more money, please be sure to join us at the Beginning Investors Group on Monday, January 15th at 6:30PM at the Hudson Grille in Sandy Springs located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs with our special guest speaker, Amy Ransdell.

At the meeting, Amy will be teaching you some of her favorite “Highly Effective Strategies for Finding Deals in Today’s Competitive Market”. Join us to talk mastermind style about the most effective strategies some of your largest volume investors are implementing in their businesses right now!

At the meeting, Amy will discuss…

  • What the biggest names in the industry are doing to generate leads and how you can have the same million dollar results they are
  • Whether or not direct mail is out-dated or still the best lead generation method out there
  • How to optimize old-school methods using technology
  • Social media and pay-per-click demystified so they can make money for you and not waste your time
  • The best ways to brand and convert your network into net-worth that we know but forget to implement
  • How to work together to close even more deals
  • Answers to your questions and much more!

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how you can generate more leads for your real estate investing business with other local investors. RSVP Now!
