Atlanta REIA is excited to announce that real estate expert and mentor, Jay Conner, will be our keynote speaker at our Atlanta REIA Main Meeting on Monday, April 1st. Jay has been a full-time Real-Estate Entrepreneur for 10 years in a town with a population of only 40,000 and is still able to produce a seven figure income each year.

At the meeting, Jay will share his secrets on “How to Run a 7-Figure Automated Business in Less Than 10 Hours per Week!” Yes, we are meeting on April Fool’s Day, but this is no joke! Jay will show you how he has built and automated his business for success and how you can too!

Jay Conner is a proven real estate investment leader and private money expert. Without using his own money or credit, Jay maximizes creative methods to buy and sell properties with profits averaging over $50,000 per deal – with little to no risk.

Jay will be sharing some of his “Automated Business” secrets such as:

• The support team he has in place and the duties they perform which allow him to run his business on automatic without being there.
• How he uses virtual assistants, the tasks they perform and how they are paid.
• How he generates over 200 buyer leads per month in his small town.
• The marketing strategies he uses to get the phone to ring off the hook.
• How he follows up and keeps track of all his buyers and sellers at any time.
• How he rehabs houses on automatic
• All this and so much more!

This is a great opportunity for you to learn from a serious, high volume real estate investor who has managed to create and maintain an annual 7-figure income working only a few hours a week. We hope to see you there!

On April 1st, I am giving a presentation that you don’t want to miss. We’re going to be talking about the various strategies you can use for pre-foreclosure deals. Not only are we going to be discussing short sales, we’re going to be talking about how to bypass short sales altogether and going straight after buying the note. I’m also going to show why you might be sitting on a goldmine. If you know of anyone or know how to find people with Chase loans that are in default more than 90 days, you NEED to be at this meeting!

Please join us for the “Meeting-Before-The-Meeting” on Monday, April 1st at 3:00 PM at Total Wine & More located at 124 Perimeter Center W (see map), where your host Bob Massey will discuss these important topics. Join us and bring your own questions, concerns, answers and insights. 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!

Howdy Partners!  Here’s a quick reminder about the Wild Wild West Meeting at 7pm TONIGHT, Monday March 25^th, at the Cherokee Cattle Company on Canton Road in Marietta.  Tonight we’re covering some pretty important info that you need to know to catapult your success in your real estate business.  I’m going to let you in on something so obvious that its way too often overlooked.  Being in this business for many years, I am often amused by people that come into real estate excited as can be, only to fizzle out and quit before they even do one deal because they suddenly realize they aren’t going to become wealthy overnight.  Can you name any business or career that you can get involved in that doesn’t require at least some amount of training to be good at it?  Everyone knows you can’t become a doctor without medical school, internships, licensure, etc., right?  Real estate offers opportunities for wealth, lifestyle, and freedom way above that of the average doctor.  So why do so many people mistakenly believe that they can be successful in real estate without training and effort?  Doesn’t that seem absurd when you really stop and think about it?

Now, its definitely true that real estate is the business that most millionaires are made in.  However, just like with any business, trade, craft, or skill, you need to learn the tools, techniques, and systems that will lead you to success.  Then you have to go out and actually apply what you’ve learned to make things happen and create wealth.  It’s not going to happen simply because you’ve decided to get into real estate investing, any more than picking up a basketball will make you play like Michael Jordan.  Speaking of Michael Jordan, he doesn’t just rely on what he knows about basketball and go on that alone—HE HAS A COACH.  His coach guides and directs him and pushes him to be a better player.  His coach sees things about his playing that he can’t see on his own.  His coach helps him to excel and be one of the best.  Is real estate investing any different?  No its not.  The fastest way to success in anything, including real estate, is to work closely with someone that has documented success in that particular area and have them coach and mentor you.  Sounds simple, right?  Well, there’s a bit more to it than that, and that’s what we’re going to discuss in detail tonight.  We’ll cover things like:

• Do you really need a mentor or coach?
• How does a mentoring/coaching relationship work?
• What should you expect from a mentor?
• What’s the best kind of mentor or coach for you?
• What are the benefits of working with a coach?
• What qualities do you need to possess to be successful in working with a coach?
