Atlanta REIA North Meeting
Deal Analysis, Due Diligence
& Determining the ARV

with Special Guest, Alisha Spence

We are pleased to announce that Alisha Spence will be the presenter at the Atlanta REIA North is a of the Atlanta Real Estate Investors Alliance that meets on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM at 1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Suite D, Buford, Georgia in North Gwinnett County just a few miles from the Mall of Georgia. There is no charge to attend this meeting for Atlanta REIA members and the cost is $5.00 at the door for non-members.

This month, on Wednesday, June 18th at 6:30 PM, Alisha will be discussing how to analyze deals, do your due diligence and determine the “After Repair Value” (ARV) as accurately as possible.

One of the frustrations facing new investors is determining what a property is worth and what they can pay for it. In the rapidly changing market we are operating in, it is critical to be able to objectively determine the retail price for a property. In order to determine what to pay for a property, one must know the ARV. It is also important to know how the banks will value your property when you are ready to sell to a retail buyer.

Alisha will discuss…

  • BPO’s
  • Valuation Trends
  • Exit Strategies
  • AS-IS vs ARV
  • Comp Selections
  • Sample FNMA BPO Forms
  • And much more!

Alisha says “Profit margins are smaller as inventory continues to stay low, and valuation is the key to making sure you aren’t losing money. Accurate valuation is the #1, first and most important factor in the due diligence process – all other numbers are derived from this and therefore you do not want to miss this meeting to learn more about the process.”

Alisha has been doing BPO’s for banks, homeowners, investors as well as asset management companies and hedge funds. Her insights into this important topic are valuable. Alisha is an Associate Broker who has been specializing in the valuation, sales, and marketing of investment real estate in the Metro Atlanta suburbs since 2005. Alisha is experienced in many aspects of real estate including residential and commercial property management, managing operations, acquisitions and sales for one of the largest and most productive real estate investment companies in Atlanta.

Taco MacAfter the conclusion of the Atlanta REIA North Meeting (after 9:30 PM), we will be reconvening at the Mall of Georgia located at 3250 Woodward Crossing Blvd in Buford, GA for the “Meeting after the Meeting”. We may arrive late if the Atlanta REIA Meeting runs late. So please come eat, drink, network and have fun with us as hang out late into the night!

Frank IglesiasCome join us at the Creative Deal Structuring Group on Wednesday, June 4th at 6:30PM at Atkins Park Tavern located at 794 N Highland Ave NE in Atlanta where active real estate investor and coach, Frank Iglesias, will be showing you how to automate your real estate investing business. There is a $3.00 cover charge for Atlanta REIA Members and $5.00 for non-members.

Most people get into real estate to make money and to have the freedom to spend their time as they wish. But as your investing business grows, you will soon find there are more tasks that need to be completed than you can handle. If you are not careful, you will find yourself consumed with so much “busy-ness” that you don’t have time to work on your “busi-ness” and to enjoy the freedom you crave.

But there is good news! Many of the mundane, repetitive tasks that need doing can be automated or delegated to others. Frank has discovered a number of methods he uses in his own real estate investing business that will greatly assist you in your business. At the meeting, Frank will teach you:

  • How To Put Your Business On AutoPilot
  • How To Reduce Your Workload
  • How and What To Outsource
  • How To Get Your Time Back For The REAL Important Things
  • Any 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 volatility. 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.

Door Fees are: Atlanta REIA Members $3 and Non-Members $5 per person. Seating is limited so arrive early to secure your seat.

The Creative Deal Structuring Group (CDS) is a group that is all about creative deal structuring and how to apply it in your everyday life and business. If you’re looking to obtain the proper tools, get knowledge you need, and feel better about structuring real estate transactions for profit, then the Creative Deal Structuring Group is the right group for you. CDS is led by Russ Hiner who is an active investor, coach, mentor and speaker.
