How to Make Offers Your Sellers Can’t Refuse on March 23, 2015
Posted on March 17, 2015 by
A 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.
After the conclusion of the Atlanta REIA Wild Wild West Meeting (after 9:00 PM), we will be hanging out in the same room for Late Nite Networking also known as the “Meeting After the Meeting”. So please come eat, drink, network and have fun with like-minded investors and real estate professionals as we hang out late into the night!

Sheetrock is done, doors, tile and trim are being installed. Join us Tuesday to see the amazing progress since we last met there two months ago. The project is in the Old Fourth Ward, which is a neighborhood that has suddenly become hot because of the proximity to the Beltline and the Ponce City Market development in the historic Sears building. Don’t miss this meeting that should prove to be very informative on some new topics we haven’t addressed before!

The Onsite Renovation Group meets on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at NOON at an active renovation site, build site or rental property which will vary from month to month.

Do you think that investors find their deals through luck? With St. Patrick’s Day upon us and lots of symbols in the air about luck, there are some that really do believe that finding a deal is all about luck. Let Don DeRosa show you how to create that “luck” any day of the year. We will have time to examine two leads and determine if they are a deal or a dud. Please bring us leads that you are working on, we will randomly choose them, and let Don show you if there is in fact a pot of gold at the end of that rainbow!
After the conclusion of the BIG event (after 9:00 PM), we will be hanging out at the Hudson Grille for Late Nite Networking also known as the “Meeting After the Meeting”.

Everything You’ve Ever Learned About Real Estate Investing is Wrong…
Posted on February 26, 2015 by
I want you to stop everything you’re doing right now and mark your calendar for Monday, March 2nd for 5PM. On this date at the Atlanta REIA Main Meeting, special guest Shaun McCloskey will be presenting what’s likely to be the most life changing 90 minutes of your entire life!
Shaun is going to share with you how just about everything you have ever learned about investing in the past has been wrong. Well, let me clarify… It’s not entirely wrong, but even the right things in the wrong order is a recipe for disaster.
How can we make such a bold statement?
Forget all the hype and glam about being a real estate investor for a moment. Yes, it’s true that real estate can be the most profitable small business on earth! But it can also lead to trading a full time job for another full time job. Most real estate investors go into the business for themselves with dreams of living life according to their definition of ultimate freedom. Sadly, very few real estate investors ever get there. Most work harder as a full time investor than they did back when they had a full time job. At least with a full time job, when 5:00 came every day, they were able to clock out and go home. But today, most investors work more hours than ever, and even when they aren’t working their brain is still at work.
If you’re an experienced investor, does this sound familiar?
If you’re new to real estate investing, it may not sound familiar yet, but don’t let that scare you. There’s a right way to run an extremely profitable flipping business and there’s the way most of the guru’s are out there teaching. Shaun is about to flip your world upside, showing you how to create an insanely profitable real estate flipping business while still honoring the freedom and time to have fun with all of the money you’ll make!
How are we going to do this, you ask? Read More→
The Truth About Pre-Foreclosures – Not the Bold Faced Lies You’ve Been Lead to Believe
Posted on February 23, 2015 by
Hi, my name is Shaun McCloskey. I suggest you grab a cup of coffee, sit down and read this slowly and carefully.
I don’t say this often. I don’t say this lightly… and I rarely use a strong language, like “you MUST” get involved into some aspects of investing.
However, this time it’s warranted. Especially, if you realize the wealth building potential of our current market place and dream of making A LOT of money FAST.
Where We Are Now
What we have today in our foreclosure markets is BIGGER and more widespread than what we had during the collapse and ensuing Savings and Loans bailout of the late 80s and early 90s. If you remember that time period, you probably also remember the media portraying the economy as being “a down market” and the real estate industry was “doom and gloom.”
If you were investing during that time and knew how to play the game, however, you know how profitable that was. Real estate fortunes were made over 2-3 year period.
Once this period found it’s end the opportunity was gone. Real estate returned to its normal balanced state.
The MOST important aspect of what’s going on today is the UNUSUAL and unlikely forces that are getting involved to put pressure on lenders holding REOs (repossessed properties).
This hasn’t happened before. Not like this… Read More→
Atlanta REIA Main Meeting on Pre-Foreclosures & Short Sales with Shaun McCloskey
Posted on February 23, 2015 by& Vendor Trade Show
Atlanta REIA Members Can Attend at No Charge. This month,
Guests Can RSVP Online Now for $20 or Pay $25 at the Door.
No doubt about it – foreclosure properties are the wave of the present – and the future. The truth is, they’re not going anywhere any time soon. There are endless desperate sellers right in your own back yard who would LOVE to have you fix their problem by negotiating a pennies-on-the-dollar payoff with their banks – and don’t care one bit that you’ll make tens of thousands of dollars in the process.
The problem is, most short sale education makes it sound like every deal you do will be quick, easy, painless, and successful – and according to Shaun McCloskey (and many other real life short sale investors we know), that’s just not the whole truth. Shaun is one of the few short sale/pre-foreclosure experts you’ll ever meet who’s honest about the pros and cons – and tells you how to meet the challenges of this strategy head-on. It’s Shaun’s first time at Atlanta REIA and he’ll explain:
- Why some short sale deals are no-brainer money-makers and some are a complete waste of your time – and how to tell the difference BEFORE you spend a bunch of time “negotiating” deals that should be left for dead.
- Why good systems are key to working multiple short sales at once – and why working multiple deals at once is more profitable and easier than doing one at a time.
- How to identify the right sellers, properties, and lenders to work with, so you can make a 6-figure income negotiating short sales this year!
- And much, much more!
Shaun McCloskey is a full time real estate investor located in St. Louis, MO specializing in short sales and pre-foreclosure property acquisition. He has successfully bought and sold over 300 properties since 2003 and loves the every day thrills of the residential real estate business.
Come learn about making short sales smart and simple at the Atlanta REIA Meeting on Monday, March 2nd at 5PM at Atlanta Unity located at 3597 Parkway Lane in Norcross, GA.
SPECIAL BONUS: Shaun also has a very special bonus for those who attend our meeting while supplies last. He will be giving away a copy of his Special Short Sale Wealth Report on “The TOP 9 Mistakes Investors Make Regarding Short Sales” so you can avoid making them or catching yourself when you do.
Want to learn even more about short sales and pre-foreclosures? Checkout Shaun’s Full Day Pre-Foreclosure & Lifeonaire Workshop on Saturday, March 14th where he’ll show you how to have a profitable short sale business and a real life!
WIN A 4 NIGHT STAY IN CANCUN: All participants who attend the Atlanta REIA Meeting will entered into a drawing for a chance to win a *Complimentary 5 Day, 4 Night Stay in Cancun! *You must be present at the meeting to win. Giveaway does not include dining, transportation, transfers, taxes, upgrades, etc.

Learn to Run Your Real Estate Like a Business and Not a Hobby
Posted on February 10, 2015 byDo You Run Your Real Estate Like a Hobby or a Business?
with Frank Iglesias on February 18th
Is Real Estate Investing your “Hobby” or is it your “Business”? For many investors their business model looks more like a hobby then a business. They find a deal, go through the process of fixing it, marketing it and selling it. They take some time off and then repeat the process. They start at ground zero on each transaction and have to build up momentum each time they do this. It’s not efficient. There is a better way and Frank Iglesias will be discussing how to create a more efficient model at the Atlanta REIA North Meeting on Wednesday, February 18th from 6:30PM to 9:00PM at 1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Suite D, Buford, Georgia.
Here’s a little of what Frank will discuss at the meeting:
- Determining your business model
- Handling the misconceptions about real estate automation, virtual assistants and time and effort involved
- Laying a foundation for your business for the long haul
- Developing a Strategy to Implement your Plan
- Determining Assets to implement your plan
- Identifying others who can help
- Automating your processes
- And much, much more!
Frank is one of the Founders and Managing Partners of Working With Houses, LLC, an Atlanta area Real Estate Investment Company that primarily works in the residential renovation industry, repairing and updating properties to bring value back to neighborhoods that have been devalued by the recent housing crisis. Frank has been involved in this industry for the last four years in which tremendous change has brought much volatility. He has been able to adapt with the times and to grow his business despite the ongoing changes. He looks forward to helping you along your path to real estate investing success as so many others have already helped him along his way.
In addition to renovating properties, Frank has also had much success in the wholesale and landlord aspects of Real Estate providing him and his team a broad spectrum of expertise as they encounter an endless variety of situations to assist with. With a background in Education and Information Technology, Frank helping other real estate investors with their investing needs and continues to do so daily.
Frank is happily married to his wife Jenni and they have two children who have enjoyed the benefits Real Estate brings to the opportunistic individuals who seek freedom with their time. As a result, he has also created a product called the 80/20 VA Office to bring the 80/20 rule to be a reality in one’s life.
