Come join us at BIG on Monday, February 17th at 6:00PM at Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs, where former corporate pilot and regular contributor to Atlanta REIA’s Profit Newsletter, Bill Ham, will show you how to get your first deal (and lots more) without having to qualify for a loan from a bank. He will teach you how to build a portfolio of cash flowing properties even if you have bad credit, no credit or you have never even done a deal.

Bill has been investing with real estate for eight years now. He started with one duplex and no cash. Bill then created a portfolio of hundreds units from single family deals up to large commercial apartment complexes and everything in between. To this day, Bill has never walked into a bank and qualified for a loan, put money down, and purchased a real estate investment. He has lots of bank loans, but all of them came from refinancing after taking control of the property with some form of creative financing.

“I didn’t start with a ton of cash. I was twenty-eight years old when I quit my career-building job as a corporate pilot. I didn’t have a life savings. I didn’t have lots of connections from the business world. I wasn’t able to go to all of my wealthy investors and have them fund my deals. I survived by perfecting the art of creative financing, by mastering the art of Creative Financing. Now I have seven employees, my own management company, and hundreds of units.I survived because the art of helping people solve their problems is a very lucrative business. This is the core of what I teach. In all my material, that is the one concept I will repeat over and over”!

You will learn:

• Techniques to create single or multi-family portfolios without using banks
• Learn what Lease Options and Debt Partners are and how they are used in creative financing.
• What Master Lease Options are(MLO).
• How and When to use Seller Financing
• How To Negotiate Creatively
• And much, much more…

Yes, you read that right, 116+ people gathered together at January’s BIG meeting for a record turnout. We listened to an action oriented, powerful presentation made by William Crowley on Credit Restoration. William informed us of a lot of points that many of us did not know about our credit reports and history. He delivered his 4 step system to restore credit and facts about the UCC code. William touched a nerve that a lot of us have… Many of us are slaves to debt and our credit history. William is driven by his passion to help us break those chains of credit slavery.

We also expanded our meeting agenda. We have started a “First Deal” segment, where we will highlight members as they do their first deals. Congratulations to Bernard Lawson and his partner Esther Walker of BE Property Investors LLC for taking the “leap of faith” and getting into the game. Congratulations to Jason Baines too who did his first “subject to” deal. If you are a first time investor and a regular attendee of our meeting, we want to hear about your first deal!

Mike Cherwenka of Goldmine Properties also spoke about the in’s and out’s of Wholesaling during his long real estate investing career. Rock Shukoor also taught us “How to Wholesale Like A Pro” during Late Nite Networking.

Dustin Griffin also spoke on the benefits of having an Atlanta REIA membership and updated us on some of the exciting new subgroups that Atlanta REIA is forming now.

Come join us at BIG on Monday, January 20th at 6:30PM at Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs, where long time credit restoration expert, William Crowley, will be our special guest speaker.

William is an honorably discharged Marine and the owner of Complete Care Financial Services which has specialized in providing Credit Restoration Assistance to real estate investors, agents and other real estate professionals and their clients since 1999.

After getting fed up with all the misinformation from the Credit Reporting Agencies and all the hype from so called “Credit Repair Companies”, William created a powerful, yet simple, proven 4-Step Credit Restoration Formula that you can put to use immediately to start removing negative items from your credit reports or those of your clients.

During his presentation, William will teach how to use the Fair Credit Reporting Act to greatly benefit yourself and your customers by deleting negative entries off their credit report in as little as 30 days. Negatives such as bankruptcies, tax liens, student loans, late payments, collections, repossessions, foreclosures, charge offs and much, much more.

You will learn:

• William’s 4-Step Credit Restoration Formula
• How to delete negatives off your credit report and dramatically increase your credit score for the cost of a postage stamp.
• How to get tax liens, student loans, late payments, collections, repossessions, charge-offs and even foreclosures and bankruptcies removed from your credit reports due to the Credit Reporting Agencies’ incompetence.
• How to use a Cease and Desist Letter to stop harassing calls from Collection Agencies.
• How to use the Fair Credit Reporting Act to your advantage.
• How to settle accounts with Collection Agencies the right way.
• Any much, much more about Credit Restoration…

RSVP Now and come learn about bettering your credit score, your clients and your tenant/buyers to unleash your investing business. Seating is limited!

Atlanta REIA has been contacted by the casting department for the DIY Network’s new show called “First Time Flippers”. They are looking for first time house flippers in the Atlanta area to feature on the upcoming season of the show. The show is about whether or not two First Time Flippers can turn a disaster house into a dream home. The show will chronicle the highs and lows of finding, fixing and flipping a house as investors take on their very first deal. Will they make a profit or will they break the bank?

People that are featured in an episode of First Time Flippers will receive $5,000 for allowing the show to film their flipping experience. Since the title of the show is “First Time Flippers”, they are looking for people who really are fixing and flipping a house for the first time. They do not want seasoned pros or people who are already flipping houses for a living. Also, they said they prefer people who plan on doing the majority of the physical work themselves – it’s just not as entertaining to watch somebody buy a house and then hire contractors to essentially fix it for them. Plus, this show is going to be airing on the DIY Network, which stands for “Do It Yourself”.

Join us at BIG on Monday, January 20th to Learn
How To Apply for the Casting Process!

We are also excited to local real estate and marketing expert, Rock Shukoor doing a bonus session for us on “Wholesaling for Beginners”! If you have a phone, have access to a computer and the desire to make a dramatic financial change in your life, you need to attend! Rock will give a quick overview of the whole process:

• How to find your buyers first
• How to quickly build a buyers list
• How to find properties for your buyers
• More on “7 Ways to Find 7 Deals in 7 Days”
• 5 ways to do a double closing without using your own money
• Creating a system so you can make money on autopilot

This is wholesaling and guerrilla marketing at lightning fast speed. RSVP Now and don’t miss this exciting session where Rock will inspire and motivate you to take action, stay focused and find a deal a day!

After the conclusion of our BIG Meeting, we will be hanging our in the meeting room at the Hudson Grille for “Late Nite Networking”.

Atlanta REIA and the Beginning Investors Group are excited to announce that Tom DiAgostino will be our special guest trainer this month at BIG on Monday, November 18th at 6:30 PM at the Hudson Grill located at 6317 Roswell Rd NE in Sandy Springs, GA. Tom will be teaching us “How to Create a Cash Flow Fortune with Tax Sales”, a real estate niche that most investors know nothing about. Join us at the meeting and you will learn…

• Why this is the easiest way to buy properties so cheap it feels like stealing
• Why auctions are not the answer, and the secret to making maximum interest
• How to make easy 18-36% returns without owning real estate, but enjoying its security
• Where to tap into the most motivated sellers on the planet with the LEAST Competition
• Why there is so much meat on the bone, it’s hard NOT to make insane profits
• How to do it all tax free within your IRA
• How we make our staff available to do it for you if you wish

Tom says… “Regardless of your experience or location, you can earn unthinkable interest, or find unbelievable deals to wholesale, flip, or partner on. Even Homer Simpson can do what I am going to teach you. I mean deals at 10-30% of repaired value.”

“I’ve been around the block for 21 years and done it all. This is not the flavor of the week. This training will change your financial life, and your generations to come. Stop trying to ride the next wave, only to find you’re on the back end, left at sea. We’re not just trainers, we’re your investment partners. Come join us and spend 90 min on November 18th at the Beginning Investors Group where I’ll explain why this is the best deal source on the planet for every type of investor.”

After Tom’s presentation, we will be having Late Nite Networking where you can have a drink, network and socialize with Tom DiAgnostino and other new and experienced investors as well. This is a great way to build your network and have fun doing it!

While this may sound like the opening line of a funny joke, it is no joke at all! On Monday, October 21st at 6:30 PM at the Beginning Investors Group (BIG), we’re having an All Star Attorney Panel Discussion with four prominent local real estate attorneys… Fred Kross, Craig Halperin, John Maurer and Jon David Huffman.

BIG meets at the Hudson Grill located at 6317 Roswell Rd NE in Sandy Springs, GA. This is a special BIG Meeting you don’t want to miss since it is a rare opportunity for you to discuss your real estate investing business with not one, but four real estate attorneys!

With all the attorney jokes aside, as investors, having good attorneys on our team is very important to our business. They assist us with legal entity setup; reviewing contracts; closing our real estate deals; dealing with liens; assisting our sellers with bankruptcy; short sales and foreclosures; representing us in lawsuits and so much more. This month at BIG, you are going to meet four local real estate attorneys who are all Atlanta REIA Members and who specialize in serving the needs of new and seasoned investors. They will be joining us to share their thoughts with you and answer all your burning legal questions. Join us at BIG and you will learn…

• When and why you need a good attorney on your side
• What advice our attorneys would give to beginning investors
• How to avoid many of the common mistakes investors make
• What type of legal entities and asset protection you should use
• How to work with sellers in bankruptcy or foreclosure
• How to avoid frivolous lawsuits
• What to expect at closing
• And answers to all your burning questions and much more!

After the Panel Discussion, attendees can stick around and participate in our new creative deal structuring exercises. This is an opportunity to practice on how to structure deals. Bring some of the deals you are working on, or use some of our scenarios.

Atlanta REIA members can attend the Beginning Investors Group for FREE. Non Members can RSVP Online for $15.00 or pay $20 at the door. If you join Atlanta REIA before the meeting, you can attend at no charge and get BIG Discounts on Atlanta REIA Training Workshops.
