So often they want to overlook important details that can wind up costing them quite a pretty penny before its done! Don’t let this happen to you. This month at the Wild West Event, we’re hosting a panel of real estate experts to have a discussion about how to determine what that house is really worth. Our experts include Gordon Catts, the Grandfather of Investing, Leslie Mathis, Full-time Investor and Mentor, and Shay Mitton, General Contractor and Investor.

Bill CookAt October’s Wild West Event, we’re hosting special guest and friend Bill Cook. Bill Is an “old, seasoned investor” (his words, not mine!) who has learned and put into practice sound business and investing principles over the years. Doing so has allowed him and his wife Kim to now lead a lifestyle that few achieve. The meeting will take place on Monday, October 26th at 6:30PM at the Cherokee Cattle Company located at 2710 Canton Rd in Marietta.

Click Here to Watch a Video of Bill Talking About Monday’s Meeting!

If you haven’t seen Bill speak, you’re in for a real treat! This man is as real and down to earth as it gets. You’ll find his style refreshing, and you’ll have a great time with us (Bill is quite the comedian-just ask him!). We’ll discuss the things you need to know – and do – if your goal is to prosper as a real estate investor. We won’t talk about the obvious things. Rather, we’ll discuss the things few investors have experience with – and fewer still ever talk about in public.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • How does Bill – being an old, seasoned investor – quickly tell whether the deal is good or not? How does Bill know what he’s looking at? And if Bill decided to take the deal down, how does he get it funded fast?
  • What things do you need to have in place before you up your game and become a full-time real estate investor? Bill did a LOT of legwork in 1997 before going full-time on January 1, 1998. You’ll learn what Bill did to insure success.
  • The goal is to get mailbox money and achieve financial freedom. But how do you accomplish this if you HATE rental property and DESPISE tenants? It’s easier to do than you think. It just requires you to structure your deals differently.
  • If you’ve done ten or more deals, then you’re an experienced investor. That said, are you still structuring your deals the same way you did when you were new? Want to see how you should be constructing your deals in order to reduce the tax bite and increase profit margins?
  • If you think you may want to partner on a deal, what do you look for in a partner? And what should your partner look for in you?
  • If you decide you need a mentor, what are the critical things you need from that mentor? What important questions do you need answered before picking a mentor?
  • Record keeping. Boring right? But boy is it ever important. Want to see how an old, seasoned investor does his record keeping? If you do, you need to be at October’s meeting!

This will be a great evening. We look forward to seeing your smiling face. Please bring family and friends. And remember: We LOVE questions and input – questions and input make us all better, smarter, wiser real estate investors!

AtlantaREIA Members get in FREE, and guests are just $10 at the door. Guests are 2 for 1 admission, this month only!

Attention North Ga. REIA Members! We’d like you to join us, for sure. Bill has lots more to share with you, and he just couldn’t fit it all in to his meeting on Oct. 8th. Come join us to hear more – for October’s meeting, your admission is FREE! (But Bill’s not stripping for us this time)

Join us Monday, October 26 at 6:30pm at The Cherokee Cattle Company at 2710 Canton Rd. in Marietta. Bring your business cards and your haves and wants-and be ready to have a great time! See you there, pardner!

Mark & Anne LackeyAccess to money is a key component in the success of a real estate investor. The more access you have, the more opportunities will be available to you. Come out this month to the Atlanta REIA Wild Wild West, where we are excited to have our good friends Mark and Anne Lackey as our special guest speakers. The Lackeys have raised close to a million dollars using a proven method that they will share with us. The meeting will take place on Monday, September 28th at 6:30PM at the Cherokee Cattle Company located at 2710 Canton Rd in Marietta.

Finding private money is a huge challenge for many investors. Banks are generally not too helpful to investors, especially full-time investors who don’t have high earning full time J-O-Bs. Many sellers want cash, which leaves you, the investor, stuck trying to make deals work without access to the funds. By implementing the steps that the Lackey’s will teach you, your business will be able to take off to new heights!

Mark and Anne will show you…

  • 5 ways to fund your deals without using your own cash or credit
  • How to find private money lenders
  • A proven strategy to ask for the funds you need for your deals
  • An overview of all the necessary paperwork you will need

Come prepared to roll up your sleeves and start working on your private money pitch. This will be great meeting where you will gain confidence in your ability to find and secure private funds. Don’t miss it!

Mark and Anne Lackey are well known around Atlanta and across the nation as Real Estate Investors, Authors, Speakers and Educators as well as REALTORs. They coach and train hundreds of US and Canadians to a successful real estate career. Mark and Anne have written multiple Best Selling books and developed multiple Educational Programs and systems for many areas of Real Estate Investing.

Today, Mark and Anne control and manage over $3M in passive income producing residential properties, (aka rentals) in their own portfolio, and manage $23M of income producing properties for other investors. Each year they find, fix-up and flip multiple properties for profit and have transacted over $35M in real estate over the past 5 years alone. They operate multiple businesses and they do everything together.

See you at the meeting! Don’t forget to wear your cowboy hat and boots for an extra tickets for the drawing for great door prizes. You could even win a FREE Vacation for TWO to Cancun!

Explode Your Business Now!
Do More Deals by Working Less!

with Frank Iglesias
July 27th, 6:30PM, Cherokee Cattle Company
2710 Canton Rd, Marietta, GA

Atlanta REIA Membes Please RSVP on Meetup.com

Frank IglesiasThis month we have a very special treat for you!  Whether you are new to real estate, getting back in, or building your business and working more than you’d like to, you NEED to be at this month’s Wild West Event!  Our guest speaker Frank Iglesias is the real deal. He’s currently running a very successful real estate business, and he’s built it so that it doesn’t suck up all his time!  As a result, he’s able to enjoy the lifestyle that most real estate investors only dream about.  How?  By effectively leveraging his time!

Join us at the Wild West Event on Monday July 27 at the Cherokee Cattle Company located at 2710 Canton Rd in Marietta, as Frank shares with us his secrets on how he was able to grow his business, make more ca$h, do more deals, and buy more houses by using VA’s!  If you have been around real estate for any length of time, you’ve probably heard about Virtual Assistants, or “VAs” for short.  Sounds sexy, but how can you use them effectively?  Recently, Frank gave a talk and asked the audience what came to their minds when he said the term ‘Virtual Assistant’.  The answers were, like almost any other time he’s asked:  1) International, 2) Cheap, 3) Hard to Understand, 4) Do busy work tasks.  No wonder more people don’t leverage this awesome opportunity to its capacity–the mindset is not one for success before the relationship even begins!

Join us at the Wild West on Monday July 27, when Frank will break this mold by discussing several key points, including:

  • Are VAs your team membersor are they just doing tasks?
  • Hiring and training VAs to make decisions for you
  • How VAs fit into the 80/20 rule, when leveraged properly, so you get your time back

Reality is, running a business does take some work, but it does not have to be overly complicated, time consuming or difficult.  It does, however, require preparation, planning and ultimately, systems.  It won’t happen until you first decide to Stop Doing It All Yourself.

What you will learn:  Frank will cover a lot of ground on how VAs play a vital part of his thriving real estate business, including:

  • Scaling your business using VAs
  • Differences between local and virtual help
  • Unleashing the right VAs to run your day to day for you so you can focus on growth
  • The principals his team uses to look at over 100 deals every single week and cherry pick what makes sense
  • And Much, Much, More!

Bottom line, it’s competitive out there with the market picking up speed and more investors vying for the same deals. To make more money at a faster pace requires efficiency and speed. Having the right team in place is critical to achieving this successfully. Having just one helping hand daily can make a huge impact on your growth. VAs can help you accomplish this with greatly reduced costs, if done properly. So mark your calendars now and get ready for an action packed evening at the Wild West Event on Monday July 27! Bring your questions and take lots of notes so you too can Stop Doing It All Yourself! See you there!

Joey EnglishAre you sick and tired of working your fingers to the bone, only to tell your family, “No we can’t afford this or that?” Are your children or grandchildren being raised by strangers in a daycare, because both parents work just trying to keep your heads above water or trying to get the things that you and your family want and deserve? Are you tired of your J-O-B (Just Over Broke) eating up precious hours of your life, rather than doing something that you enjoy and making real money so you can get your life back?

  • How you can have the Freedom to do the things in life that matter most to you. Joey’s wife Ashley is now able to be at home with their two children. She has been able to be with them since they were born, and Joey still manages to have “free time” to be a father and a husband.
  • The systems Joey has in place, to be able to do over 50+ deals and how he manages at least 7 of his own rehabs/flips each year and does it efficiently.

Leslie MathisLeslie MathisDoes the word “Negotiating” make you cringe? Do you shudder at the thought of having to go back and forth with the other party to make a deal that works for you? Do you believe that you have to be a “used car salesman type” to make it in the real estate business? Are you struggling to get your offers to sellers accepted? Do you have renters and buyers interested, but can’t close them? Are you feeling like your negotiating skills leave much to be desired, but don’t know what you need to do to get good at it?

If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions then you need to make plans to join us at the WILD WILD WEST EVENT on Wednesday, May 27th at 6:30pm at the Cherokee Cattle Company located at 2710 Canton Rd in Marietta, where you’ll see how you can change all this around very quickly for yourself!

At the meeting you will learn…

  • WHAT to do to get sellers to say “YES!”
  • WHEN and HOW to get rid of your fear and stress about negotiating (it’s NOT a confrontation!)
  • WHY it is critical you understand that nobody has to lose for you to win!
  • HOW to get what you want!
  • And Much, Much, More!

We’ll do LIVE negotiating demonstrations to help you SEE how the negotiating process works. We’ll talk about your MINDSET and what may need to be changed for you to be a more effective negotiator. We’ll share with you the “cowgirl” way of doing business (it’s probably not what you think!). We’ll show you how to turn your fear of negotiating into FUN negotiating!

If the thought of negotiating with anyone about anything makes your stomach turn, even just a little bit, you absolutely NEED to get to this month’s WILD WILD WEST EVENT! We have Great Door Prizes, Wonderful Networking, and a Relaxed, Fun Atmosphere.

Make Me An Offer I Can’t Refuse!
March 23rd with Bill Cook

Bill CookA common mistake made by real estate investors is to forget why they knock on a seller’s door. By “forget,” I don’t mean the seller answers the door and the investor stands there with a stupid, lost look on his face. I mean the investor doesn’t understand the basic objective of why he’s there at the seller’s home.

Do you know the ultimate objective of meeting with sellers? I mean, why are you there? What’s the purpose? Is it to be given a tour of the seller’s house? The reason an investor knocks on a seller’s door is to get to the kitchen table. You want to get to the kitchen table so you can ask Pete Fortunato’s famous question: “Why are you selling such a nice house like this?” The answer Pete’s question allows you to get a better understanding of what the seller wants and why he wants it. Having this information allows you to structure an offer around the seller’s unique wants and needs.

Come join us at the Atlanta REIA Wild Wild West Group on Monday, March 23rd at 6:30PM at Cherokee Cattle Company located at 2710 Canton Rd in Marietta, where Bill Cook will show YOU how to take the “what” and “why” you get from the seller at the kitchen table, and construct a win-win offer that helps the seller get from the uncomfortable situation they’re in, to a situation where they’re more comfortable and willing to do business with you.

Remember: If your offers don’t help your sellers to improve their current situation, they’ll turn your offer down flat! So remember the ultimate objective of why you meet with sellers: To make them a written offer!

If you want to know how to make offers that can’t be refused, you need to be at this event!

Join us and you will learn:

  • When Should You Make An Offer?
  • How Do You Make An Offer?
  • What Is The Difference Between A Contract And An Offer?
  • What Is The Best Kind Of Offer Paperwork To Use?
  • How You Can Make 5 Written Offers A Day.
  • And much, much more.

Bill and Kim Cook are a husband and wife real estate investing team. They live on a horse ranch in Adairsville GA, and have been investing in real estate since 1995. Their investment portfolio is made up of single-family rental homes, mobile homes, a small mobile home park, plus notes and options. They built their business simply by knocking on sellers doors and making offers the seller can’t refuse.
