Like the Main Atlanta REIA Monthly Meeting, this subchapter will be led by Dustin Griffin and will focus on a wide variety of cutting edge real estate investing strategies with a special emphasis on Internet Marketing and Technology for the modern day “High Tech Investor”. The cost is $5.00 at the door for non-members.

(POSTPONED UNTIL MARCH 20TH) Immediately after the Atlanta REIA North Monthly Meeting at approximately 9 PM, we will reconvene at the Mall of Georgia Tilted Kilt located at 3480 Financial Center Pkwy in Buford, GA for the meeting-after-the-meeting, AKA Late Nite Networking. We hope you will come out and eat, drink, network, learn and have fun with us and keep the investing conversations going late into the evening! If the North Meeting is running a little late, be sure to save us a seat.

Atlanta REIA is very excited to announce that local real estate investing expert and leader of North Georgia REIA, Bill Cook, will be speaking at our Atlanta REIA Main Meeting on February 4th at the Crowne Plaza Ravinia in Atlanta which starts at 5:30 PM.

Bill Cook and his wife Kim have been investing in real estate in Georgia for over 18 years. They own a fair number of single-family rental homes, they flip houses, plus they do a lot of note and option deals. But the one unique thing they do that gives them the highest yields on their investment dollars and jam packs their mailbox with money is their mobile home investments… that’s right, they buy ugly, used trailers!

For example, they buy a used mobile home in a mobile home park for around $3,000, do a quick clean up and fix up, then sell it for $9,000 with $500 down at 18% interest with payments of around $275 per month for around 4 years. The results of this simple deal are eye-popping! They quickly turn $3,000 into $12,000 while getting a yield of around 100%! Try matching these results with ANY other type of real estate investing vehicle. And here’s the best part, you don’t need a lot of money and there is very little competition!

Join us at our February meeting if you want to see real-world examples – including pictures and paperwork – of what Bill and Kim do to earn their mailbox money and how they do it! There is no fluff… it will be all meat and potatoes!

• Why do Lonnie Deals?
• What is a Lonnie Deal and how does it work?
• How do you find the right mobile homes to buy?
• Which mobile home deals should you avoid?
• How to work with park owners?
• How to find sellers?
• How to buy a “trailer”?
• How to sell a “mobile home”?
• What to do if the buyer doesn’t pay you?
• When is the best time to do Lonnie Deals?
• Examples of real deals that Bill and Kim have done…
• And much more!

Come spend the evening with Bill on February 4th and let him teach you how to earn all the mailbox money you can handle in 2013! Also, be sure to check out Bill’s two latest articles on mobile home investing:

1. Which Type of Real Estate Investing Deal Has The Highest Yield?
2. Are You An Eagle Or An Oyster?

Please join us for the “Mobile Real Estate Rockstars Group” (Rockstars) hosted by Don DeRosa at our “Meeting-Before-The-Meeting” on Monday, February 4th at 3:00 PM at Total Wine & More located at 124 Perimeter Center W (see map).

At 5:00 PM, Total Wine & More will be offering a complimentary wine tasting to all those who attend our meeting and wish to participate. There is NO CHARGE to attend this meeting or the wine tasting for Atlanta REIA Members and guests. Thanks Total Wine & More!

After the conclusion of the Main Meeting, we will be reconvening at the Tilted Kilt Perimeter located at 1155-B Mount Vernon Highway in Atlanta for the “Meeting after the Meeting”. The Tilted Kilt will be offering half price appetizers as well as food and drink specials for our members and guests. Come eat, drink, network and have fun with us as hang out late into the night!

We’re kicking off 2013 with a bang at the Wild Wild West Group! Saddle up and hold on to your bootstraps, cause believe me, partner, you’re in for a real treat. Join us next Monday, January 28th at 7pm at The Cherokee Cattle Company as we host our special guest speaker, local successful businessman Joe Thompson. Joe is going to talk about New Year’s resolutions and goal setting. Are you gonna be one of the multitudes that throw in the towel, toss another one of your dreams to the wind, or you gonna COWBOY UP and ride that buckin’ bronco to the finish? Are you ridin’ that bull…or just talking some bull? What if you only had to hold on 8 more seconds to win the prize? Could you ride it out…or will you jump off, full of self-doubt, fear, and lack of focus?

Joe holds on and STICKS WITH IT. Yeah, he gets bruised up a bit along the way (all cowboys do!), yet he is walking tall and focused. My daddy always said, if a horse bucks you off, you gotta get right back on. Horses can sense fear a mile away, and so can goals and resolutions. Come learn to lasso yours in and get control of them by “knowin’ where you’re goin’”. It’s a new year, and a new beginning. Joe will show us how we can all set some realistic, easily achievable goals to make 2013 our most successful and profitable year ever. Come learn what SERIOUS goal setting can do for you and your business!

Round up your posse, mosey on over, and we’ll see you there. Doors open at 6:30, program starts at 7pm. And don’t forget Late Nite Networking in the Saloon after the meeting, where you can talk with Joe and network with all the partners. Members attend FREE, and guests are just $5 at the door. Yeeeehaaaaaaa! Remember, you’re either making dust or eating it, so COWBOY UP! Read More→

America is on sale right now and if you’re not making obscene amounts of money in real estate right now, you’re missing the best opportunity of your lifetime to get rich. Come spend the evening with Ron where he will teach you can make 2013 your most profitable year ever! You will learn about…

• Getting Rich In Your IRA Tax Free – Ron will teach you how to use real estate to grow your IRA to a MILLION DOLLARS in less than five years without you ever personally contributing another dime.
• Where To Find The Best Deals Even With Hot Competition – Ron will show you the best tool he’s ever used to absolutely ensure you never struggle to find deals and it only costs pennies to implement.
• Where To Get The Money To Buy Bank-Owned Deals– Since banks require cash to purchase their properties, Ron will show you where to get the cash to buy bank-owned homes that won’t come from other banks or require credit or qualification.
• Purchasing a Beautiful New Home for Your Family – Ron will show you how you can purchase a new home for your family in the next 45 days and never fill out an application, apply for a loan, or put up a down payment.

On January 7th at 3 PM, Bob Massey will be having his quarterly meeting at Total Wine & More located at 124 Perimeter Center W (see map). Bob will be giving a presentation you don’t want to miss! He is going to be going over the details of a $875,000 short sale he just closed that most investors would have abandoned months ago. Instead of giving up, he modified his strategies and ended up making more than if everything had gone according to the original plan! He is also going to be discussing mortgage fraud, securitization issues, and foreclosures. The banks have been defrauding homeowners for years, and we now have a way to use that to fight back against the banks and do some pretty incredible deals while helping underwater homeowners across the country.

After the conclusion of the Main Meeting, we will be reconvening at the Tilted Kilt Perimeter located at 1155-B Mount Vernon Highway in Atlanta for our annual New Year’s Party. There will be FREE Food, networking and lots of fun! Come eat, drink, network, have fun and celebrate the New Year with us late into the night!
