Atlanta REIA Meeting Updates
That Keep You From
Playing Your Top Game!
with Sharon Rubinstein
Join us at the Beginning Investors Group (BIG) on Monday, April 15th at 6:30PM at the Hudson Grille in Sandy Springs located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs with Sharon “Sharoney” Rubinstein on the Seven “Perfect” Lies we often tell ourselves that keep us from playing our top game in real estate and in life.
Everyone talks about potential. It’s easy to talk. It’s just “hot air” as Sharoney calls it, BUT do you ever listen? Not to others talk, no, she doesn’t mean that… Do you EVER listen to your own BS?! Do you ever stop to listen to the words that come out of your own mouth? That’s exactly what Sharoney will ask you in her talk – “Seven ‘Perfect’ Lies”.
A few words from Sharoney about her talk at BIG…
What are those Seven “Perfect” Lies that you keep telling yourself that keep you from playing your top game? Because you see, that’s what we do, ALL OF US. We tell ourselves perfect lies that make us stay put, feeling “there is no choice” and so life goes on. Nothing BIG happens.
You keep doing life with minor changes, minor growth and you tell yourself: “It’s good, it’s OK”, but is it? Really?
Let me ask you something, would you be OK listening to your kids lying to you every day? Your parents? Your wife? Your boyfriend? Would you be OK with your boss lying to you every day? No?! Then why are you OK with lying to yourself EACH AND EVERY DAY? WHY?!
If you feel a little uncomfortable now, that’s good. Some part of you knows that you are reaching the end of your rope. Enough. Yes, ENOUGH!
I’m Sharoney Rubinstein and I am a life mentor, a bestselling author, entrepreneur and real estate investor. My talk at the Beginning Investors Group will shed a huge light on those PERFECT lies and make you see what truth needs to be said for you to start playing your TOP NOTCH GAME!
In this special presentation, we will see the 7 most common lies we talk ourselves into and HOW sneakily we actually do it (it will blow your mind!) and why are those lies so common to most humans.
We will also learn how to catch ourselves from getting “fake reassurance” from our friends and family who often just tell us what we want to hear. We need to “catch” ourselves while we do it.
-
“Baby, it’s not going to be so bad if I eat this cake now…. I mean I did work out yesterday and this morning, right?”
-
“Yes, it’s not that bad…”
Do you ever do that? Ask for “fake reassurance” while you know they will give it to you. You also know the very next moment that you should not even have asked.
Does it happen in business? Yes, all the time. We tell ourselves lies and then look for people who will support those lies.
I will teach you a simple, yet very clever trick to use when you feel you are sabotaging your way up.
We all have patterns, but do we know them? Are we aware how predictable we are? And if we could, what’s to prevent us from repeating those patterns again and again?
Let’s start by getting to the BIG Event on Monday, April 15th at 5PM at the Hudson Grille in Sandy Springs. Or you already have a good “lie” as to why you don’t really need to be there? ;)
If you aren’t getting everything you want out of real estate and life and you think it might be YOU getting in your own way, be sure to catch this special edition of the Beginning Investors Group with Mentor Sharoney and learn now to stop the lies and play your top game! RSVP NOW!
The Beginning Investors Group (BIG) is an educational and networking group for new investors who are just getting started in real estate investing as well as “new again” real estate investors who’ve taken a few years off and are looking to get back in the game.
BIG is hosted by Dustin Griffin who will be bringing in local and national real estate experts to teach new investors how to survive and thrive in our ever changing economy and real estate market.The entire purpose of the group is to help new investors get their first deal and help new again investors get their next deal.

This month’s meeting will be held at 3415 Hamilton Ave, Hapeville, GA which is a property being rehabbed by Andy Bloch and Joshua Sledge. When we visited this house back in May of 2018, it was just a foundation and a 2×4 frame shell of a house with no roof and nothing else.
Andy says… “We bought this house from another investor who was over his head. With the purchase came a set of building plans that were already approved by the city. Once Josh and I started working on the house, we modified it, buy popping the top and adding two dormers with a bedroom each upstairs. The original plans called for a ranch style home. With the second floor addition, we are going to end up with roughly 2500 sqft. We purchased the property for 80k, intend to put roughly 190k into it and sell it between $375 – 400K.”
Come join us at the Onsite Renovation Group and learn more about the details of deal and see the amazing transformation as it progresses. There is much to be learned from this case study when it comes to working with contractors. RSVP Now!

That’s a BOLD promise! Anyone who is familiar with George Antone and his proven advanced strategies know they are in for a treat because George always fulfills on his bold promises!
George, a 3-time best-selling author and thought leader in the finance and investing space, has blown the lid off a new paradigm no one is teaching; or even talking about, until now!
Imagine low-risk and low-stress strategies that are implemented one time and placed on autopilot to work FOR you starting ASAP – all in 6 hours or less per month!
In fact, keep reading for a $100k+ strategy that will be revealed in this presentation!
No, this is not a “get rich quick” strategy, but a fascinating way to tweak finance to make it work for you in amazing ways!
The traditional methods of building wealth can be grouped into 3 main categories: Investing, Trading and Saving. These traditional methods work; however, they require a lifetime commitment of learning and implementation.
George has been working on this new paradigm, a 4th method, called “Hacking Finance” – that promises the ability to LEARN and IMPLEMENT each financial strategy within a total of 6 hours or less, and then place it on autopilot to keep working for you! Join us at the meeting to get your Complimentary Copy of “Hacking Finance”!
…and you are about to walk away with one of these $100k+ “shortcuts” just from this presentation! This is NOT an overnight $100k+ strategy, but something you implement one time, and it builds over a number of years into $100k or more on autopilot.
What if you are already investing or lending? Quite simply, these methods will increase your existing returns tremendously! Come discover from George’s #1 trainer how to boost your yields by combining this system with your existing investments!
That’s exactly why we’re excited to have Paul Rossano, George’s top trainer, as our guest speaker this month at the Atlanta REIA Main Meeting on Monday, April 8th from 5PM-9PM at 3125 Presidential Pkwy, Atlanta, GA!
Paul will also be sharing this new paradigm, and will give you details of ONE of those strategies that banks use (called “floats”), that you can use to skyrocket your wealth. Paul will demonstrate what you need to do the very next morning at your local bank to increase your wealth by $100k+ over a number of years on autopilot without the stress of risky investments… and this is just ONE of MANY strategies!
Some people work hard. Others work smart. This is working smart!
If you want your path to financial freedom made easier, then this is something you cannot afford to miss out on! It just might be what you are looking for!
With a few financial tweaks and this different approach, you’ll find you have more time and money to work with than you thought.
Leap forward financially with less risk, less stress, and more time to enjoy life!
So bring a notepad, bring a friend, and get to this meeting—it may change your financial life forever! RSVP NOW & DON’T MISS IT!
*Please Note: Meeting agenda is subject to change.
As always, Atlanta REIA Members can attend our Main Meeting event at no charge and Non-Members can Register Online for $20 or pay $25 at the door.

Hey folks, Don DeRosa here… I’d like to personally invite you to kick off the monthly Atlanta REIA Meeting with me on April 8th at 5PM Sharp. At this session I will show you how to become a transaction engineer and how to do something with every single lead you get.
Have you ever had a lead that you didn’t know what to do with, or a lead that you wish you had more options? Having multiple option on every deal could make all the difference in the world. The age old saying “the more you know, the more you make” really does apply in real estate investing.
I will be discussing, multiple offer strategies, negotiating and creative offer making. I will also show you how to use my patented “Easy Offer Maker” to make profitable offers every time, using multiple strategies like, owner finance, subject to, options and lease options. If you want to learn how to make money at everything you get your hands on then come see me at 5PM SHARP on Monday April 8th.

Learn How to Buy Houses Subject-To with Don DeRosa on BIG Online Webinar
Posted on February 26, 2019 byTues, Feb 26th @ 7PM on Zoom Webinar
in Today’s Real Estate Market
with Don DeRosa
“My name is Don DeRosa. I am a real estate trainer, mentor and full-time real estate investor actively buying, selling and holding properties each month for huge profits and long-term cash flow. When I first started almost 22 years ago, I thought I wanted to be a wholesaler and flip contracts because I thought I needed a bunch of cash to buy and hold, or buy and rehab houses. I was like everyone else starting out in this business. I didn’t have lots of money, so I thought wholesaling was the easy way to go.
Boy was I wrong. Fortunately for me I was introduced to a buying technique called “Subject-To” by a friend. This is a technique where the Seller deeds the property over to you (you own it) but leaves the loan in place and you simply continue to make the existing payments (you don’t have to go to the bank and qualify).
Well I must say this technique changed my life. Within the first 30 days of learning the Subject-To technique I bought 4 houses for one dollar each (yes, you read that correctly) and I have been buying them that way ever since.
I no longer have to sell the “Golden Goose” to make lots of money. Today I am working furiously at buying properties “Subject-To” using the existing financing on the seller’s home instead of having to go to a bank or a hard money lender for funding. This allows me to buy multiple properties fast, without coming up with all the purchase funds on the front end.
Subject-To is the perfect strategy to use in today’s market where easy funding is not readily available for investors to buy pretty houses. Buying houses “Subject-To” the existing finances is by far the most powerful technique is real estate today. You can control and own an enormous amount of real estate with very little money. Understanding how to get sellers to finance your deals is the ultimate investment strategy.
If you’re a person who doesn’t have a lot of cash, or doesn’t have good credit or simply doesn’t want to use your credit, then you need to attend the upcoming Tampa REIA meeting where I will be teaching you how to effectively use this technique. Learning this technique may very well be a life changing event for you like it was for me.
Join me at the Beginning Investors Group Online on Tuesday, February 26th at 7PM ET and I will share with you, many of the Subject-To tools and techniques I use every day to create winning deals for myself as well as my buyers and sellers.
I will demonstrate how to apply these strategies, tools and techniques, and show you exactly how to evaluate the lead, determine your exit strategy, structure the deal, negotiate with the seller and get the paperwork done almost instantly and without any of the hard work you normally do to get your deals done.
By the end of the presentation, you’ll know how to buy houses…
- Without using your own credit
- Without having to sign personally on a note
- Without having to qualify for a mortgage
- Without having much money
Also…
- How to recognize a “Subject To” opportunity and buy with little or no money!
- How to evaluate any lead and decide whether this is a winner for you and how much money you’ll make before you make your offer
- How to combine buying strategies and exit strategies – that work right now, in 2019
- How to structure a deal in less than 10 minutes, so that you make a minimum of $20,000 on it, choosing from multiple purchase and exist strategies
- How to determine the seller’s hot buttons so you can craft a deal the seller can’t refuse
- How to use my proprietary tools to negotiate for you, so you never let your emotions talk you into making a bad deal!
- And how to find all the money you need to do these deals so you have zero money out of your pocket.
Join me at the meeting as I really really drive these points home and give you all the Subject-To details you need to succeed in real estate investing. Once you are armed with my training and the tools, you will be able to do deals you never thought possible! RSVP NOW & DON’T MISS IT!”
