We are excited to kick off the new year this month at the EPIC Group with our special guest speaker, Scott Maurer. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 26th at 6:30PM at the Solutions Realty Network Headquarters located at 100 Glendalough Ct, Suite D2 in Tyrone, GA. Scott will be talking about how to grow your business tax free using your self-directed IRA.

Many investors don’t know that it’s even possible to use retirement funds when investing in real estate. Most IRA accounts are invested with banks and brokerage firms who do not allow for this type of investment within their portfolios, but IRS regulations certainly allow for many types of alternative investments. Self-directed IRAs allow individuals to use their IRA funds to purchase rental property, rehabs/flips, private mortgages, tax liens, and much, much more. By using a self-direct IRA, an investor can utilize this “new” bucket of cash to acquire assets that they can better control and thus drive better returns to their IRA. Best of all, the gains from these investments go back to the IRA without any tax implications.

At the meeting you will learn:

• What types of accounts are eligible to be self-directed
• How you can move money from current IRA custodians without worrying about tax implications
• What the rules are pertaining to prohibited transactions and disqualified persons
  (In short, what you can’t do with your self-directed IRA)
• How the process works from contract to closing, and how the earnings come back to the IRA on a tax-deferred or tax-free basis
• How to obtain “checkbook control” over your IRA for the purpose of real estate investing
• And Much, Much More!

Scott has worked for Advanta since 2006, and is a frequent speaker on the topic of self-directed IRAs and using retirement funds to invest in real estate and other alternative assets. Scott is also an attorney and a member of The Florida Bar.

Come on out on Tuesday, January 26th. You are sure to meet some great individuals and make lasting connections that will help propel your business in the right direction. We look forward to seeing you there!

You are all in for a special treat this month at the Peachtree City EPIC Group. Robert Mulcahy is going to be our guest speaker and will be teaching us about creative financing solutions for today’s real estate investors. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 28th at 6:30PM at the Green Ginger Asian Fusion Restaurant located at 200 Market Place Connector in Peachtree City, GA. This will be a great opportunity for you to network with other like-minded investors and to create a relationship with a company who can assist you with your financing needs.

In 2013, approximately 14.9 million single family homes were occupied by renters, which is a 26% increase since before the market crash in 2006. Of all the rental inventory, 53% are 1-4 unit properties. With a 2% decrease in overall home ownership, that creates an additional 2.5 million renters. (Source: National Multifamily Housing Council & U.S. Census Bureau. Updated 9/2014) With these statistics, it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that now is a great time to stock up on rental properties, but more properties means more cash needed to buy them.

• How best to use leverage & financing to increase your investment business
• How to understand and access financing
• An overview of new lending programs available specifically for investors
• How to finance up to 25 properties at a time
• Programs that use the property income to qualifyand not your personal incom

Come join us at our next Peachtree City EPIC Group meeting on Tuesday, May 26th at 6:30PM at the Green Ginger Asian Fusion Restaurant located at 200 Market Place Connector in Peachtree City, GA. Our special guest speaker will be Chuck Phillips with CRS Data. Chuck will be showing us how to use CRS Data’s proprietary software to find and organize all the important property information you need so you can make informed decisions in all your real estate investing transactions.

CRS Data , a leading consolidator of information gleaned from public records provides Data to MLS Services, Realtors, Appraisers, Banks/Lenders, Government Agencies, as well as investors.

Chuck has worked with Courthouse Retrieval System (CRS) for over 11 years. He has worked with all types of individuals from Investors, Realtors, Mortgage Companies, Banks, Surveyors, and Developers on how to utilize public record information. He is licensed to teach “Using Public Records to Enhance Your Business” by the Tennessee Realtors Association in TN. Public records can be used to answer the following questions:

• Where do you find off market properties?
• How do you get in touch with people who don’t know they want to sell?
• How do you become the only buyer?
• How do you get contact information on a vacant property?
• Where do you get the information to become the neighborhood expert?
• Where do you get a mailing list of absentee owners?
• How do you get a list of owners of multiple properties?
• And much much more.

Public records are free to look at from state or county sites using the program provided by that organization. Most of the time all you can obtain is the Owners Name, Address, Tax Information, Parcel Number, Year/Effective Year Built, Lat/Long Information if the county has GIS maps, etc. The program from CRS, with the various Search Filters, allows you to sift through this data to arrive at the results you would like. If you are looking for out of state owners with a certain type of improvement, square footage, year built in a certain zip/street, this program can filter out that information. If you need a home with an existing mortgage, this information can be found.

All of this is public information, but the Engine CRS has with the various filters makes it very easy to find and export to Excel for marketing purposes. If you find a home and need to know the comps around the home, this can easily be found based on date, distance, and time of sale. This is another feature any investor needs depending on the type of exit strategy they have for the property.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to save yourself TONS of time researching properties!

We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!
