Dustin GriffinGordon CattsOn February 19th, 2011 from 10 AM to 5 PM, Gordon Catts and Dustin Griffin, will be teaching our first Atlanta REIA “How to Build a Buyers List Workshop” at 1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Suite D, in Buford, GA.

In the highly competitive real estate market we operate in today, it is foolish to wait until you have a property and then try to generate a buyer specific for that property. There has to be a better way!

Generate a list of buyers that you can plug into properties as they become available. If you are in the business of being an investor, it makes sense to create and manage a strong buyers list. It’s much more efficient and will help you make wiser and more profitable real estate investment decisions.

“Wholesaling 101 Workshop”

Register Now!

Wholesaling is a great strategy for making quick cash, low risk, without the use of your credit, income, or money (when done correctly). Wholesaling real estate is among the most popular investment strategies because anyone can do it — you don’t need a real estate license or a lot of money to start. And once you start, it’s nearly impossible to keep the money from pouring into your bank account.

This is the Atlanta REIA Wholesale 101 Workshop taught by Russ Hiner. We will teach you the 2011 wholesale strategies you need to succeed. There is no need for you to have money out of your pocket or credit, you do no repairs or work yourself and they are usually done in a few days or weeks. Read More→

Kimberlee Frank, the Real Estate JunkieDoes the following conversation sound familiar?

MITIGATOR: Our counteroffer is $79,000.

YOU: WHAT? The buyer offered $30,000, which IS current market value and current as-is value! We had the BPO last week, where did the value come in at?

MITIGATOR: It came in at $79,000 so you need to call the buyer and get them as close to $79,000 as possible. We need to net 91% of that, which is $71,100.

YOU: I don’t understand, this house is saturated with pet urine and needs $20,000+ in repairs???

This is a real story of a real deal and the person doing this short sale DID NOT ATTEND THE BPO!!! Do you wonder why the value was so exaggerated? They will go round and round with the lender on this file for the next 4 months until that BPO value expires and they can order a new one. SO… is the BPO a deal-maker or a deal-breaker? The answer is YES!

Are you personally attending each of your BPO appointments armed with an all-inclusive packet for your BPO agent? IF NOT, you are throwing yourself up against a brick wall! Ouch!

Is your BPO producing a short sale value? Make your next BPO your BEST BPO!

Join our call on February 8th at 7pm Eastern and let Kimberlee Frank, the BPO Queen, share her most effective tips regarding influencing the BPO.
