Let’s Make a Deal for August 18, 2016
Posted on August 8, 2016 byThursday, August 18th at 6:30PM
5 Seasons Brewing, 5600 Roswell Rd, Sandy Springs
New Date, Time & Location!
The “Let’s Make A Deal” group is a subgroup of the Atlanta REIA led by Lynn Overall and Don DeRosa that now meets on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 6:30PM at 5 Seasons Brewing, 5600 Roswell Rd, Sandy Springs, GA. The focus of the group is to take new investors through the entire process of repurposing distressed home.
We are no longer asking you to bring your checkbook, however you will be disappointed if you don’t because these deals will be purchased by someone, and you will have the first opportunity to profit from them.
Funding for these deals will be provided by our sponsors, Angel Oak Prime Bridge & Barnett Capital. Each group desiring to participate in the deal will form an LLC, identify member responsibilities, open an operational bank account and fund holding costs for the deal and execute a purchase contract for the property. Your projects will be overseen by a professional engineer and an experienced rehab investor.
Our goal is to have fun, make a profit and learn how to properly rehab a property. We will also provide the buyer and the neighborhood with homes that are shining examples of what we, as investors, do for the economy and the community.
Bring your checkbook or not. Either way, you will walk away from this meeting with knowledge and tools to help you become a better investor.
No less than three properties will be presented at the meeting. Each will meet the Angel Oak 65% or 100% financing criteria. Come join us and do your first rehab!

The Active Real Estate Investor vs The Passive Real Estate Investor
Posted on August 1, 2016 byAre you an active or passive real estate investor? This is the MAGIC question that all real estate investors should ask themselves on a regular basis, rather they know it or not. Let me explain.
Many beginning investors want to focus 100% on wholesaling and rehabbing so they can make the fast cash and big checks. They don’t want the headaches of toilets, trash and tenants. After all it feels good to take a rundown house and flip it to a rehabber and make a quick $5000 or $10,000 in a few hours or better yet tear it apart, fix it up and sell it to a first time buyer who will call it home for many years to come and you can make $25,000 or $30,000 plus in just a few short months.
Active investing can be addicting and a real adrenaline rush. Ask me how I know that. My nickname is the Rehab Queen and I have been rehabbing and flipping as an active income producing investor for over 17 years. I have done over 350 properties and those quick one time paydays have been great. But… Read More→
Why Now May Be the Best Time to Sell
Posted on August 1, 2016 byWe know you have been thinking about Selling, Wholesaling or doing a Fix and Flip, but weren’t sure when to do it, there may not be a better time than now.
To be sure, the decision to act greatly depends on your own personal circumstances. However, several factors have combined to make this a good time to think about taking action. The idea of jumping into the market, especially if you have been cautiously sitting on the sidelines, is now!
Over the past few years, the inventory of homes for sale has steadily shrunken, even as the demand from buyers has grown. Nationwide, total SFR inventory stands at just under 5 months’ supply. However, in some of our local markets, available inventory is even lower. Putting this into perspective, a balanced market should have approximately six to eight months supply. The time to use REIAComps to quickly and easily access the local markets around Hotlanta is frankly sizzling. Read More→
