Ramon TookesPlease join us on Tuesday, October 2nd at NOON for the Atlanta REIA Onsite Renovation Group (ORG) to learn all about finding, funding, fixing and flipping houses for big profits right here in the metro Atlanta area.

This month’s meeting will be held at Ramon Tookes‘ rehab project located at 1355 Westview Dr SW, Atlanta, GA. This property is located directly across from the Beltline entrance and will be a complete renovation down to the studs.

Ramon purchased it in June and began demo in July and plans to finish it by the last week in October. The purchase price was $111k, the renovation budget is $120k with projected sales price of $329k and projected profit after commission, holding costs, and cost of money of about $60k.

This is a group project where Ramon obtained the financing and invested money with about 7 of his students so that they can learn while they earn.

How to Make Impossible Deals Possible & Profitable
with Bill Cook

Atlanta REIA Members Can Attend at No Charge. This month,
Guests Can RSVP Online Now for $20 or Pay $25 at the Door.

Bill CookIf you’d like to turn all your “impossible” leads into “possible” and “profitable” deals, make sure that you don’t miss the Atlanta REIA Main Meeting on Monday, September 10th from 5PM-9PM at 3125 Presidential Pkwy, Atlanta, GA with local real estate investing expert, Bill Cook!

We’re continually told that to reach our full potential as real estate investors, we must work outside the box. At the beginning of Bill’s discussion, he’ll explain why this advice is wrong. It’s not about working outside some box that counts. To reach our full potential, we must realize there is no box!

To be a successful real estate investor, consider this: The job of a real estate investor is not to buy, sell or rent houses. Our job is to solve people’s real estate problems.

Do you want to achieve financial freedom? Then don’t go out looking for “deals”. Instead, go out looking for problems to solve and people to help. In other words, look for peoples’ uncomfortable circumstances. This one shift in your thinking can completely alter your life’s financial outcome.

Think of it this way: When you go out, are you looking to do FOR people or TO people? You already know that “FOR” attracts and “TO” repels. Each day, are you attracting or repelling business?

To make all deals possible, you only need to do five things:

  1. Get face-to-face with sellers
  2. Be curious and ask questions – a LOT of questions!
  3. Draw up a T-bar
  4. Understand a teeter-totter offer
  5. Put your offer in writing

At the Atlanta REIA meeting, as we talk about creative deal structuring, you’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of these five most-important things.

You’ll also see examples of a number of our creatively constructed and funded real-world deals. In addition, we‘ll answer these four deal-making questions:

  1. How was it found?
  2. How was it structured?
  3. How was it funded?
  4. And once bought, what did we do with it?

Finally, here are a number of questions we promise to answer:

  • What’s the fastest, cheapest, most effective way to get face-to-face with homeowners and sellers?
  • What is the best way to learn how to creatively construct and fund a deal?
  • What type of deal is the safest to do, and still offers the highest yields?
  • What is the best way to get owner financing or find private money lenders?
  • When a seller calls, what two questions should you ask?
  • What’s the best way to determine a property’s value?
  • What’s the most you should pay for a property? (This answer will floor you!)
  • When an investor is sinking, what two questions do I ask to determine the cause?
  • Is it possible to make five written offers each day?
  • What needs to be your daily goal?
  • What does it really take to succeed at real estate investing?

If you’ve been wanting to turn all your impossible trash leads into profitable cash deals, join us at Atlanta REIA on Monday, September 10th to find out more! Take Action and RSVP Now! We look forward to seeing you at this month’s main meeting!

Onsite PropertyPlease join us on Tuesday, September 18th at NOON for the Atlanta REIA Onsite Renovation Group (ORG) to learn all about finding, funding, fixing and flipping houses for big profits right here in the metro Atlanta area.

This month’s meeting will be held at newly completed rehab project located at 77 Glenrose Cir SW, Atlanta, GA being managed by Maria Rosenswike who is an active rehabber and frequent attendee at our Onsite Renovation Group.

Onsite PropertyThis was a 1032 sq ft, 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home built in 1963. It was a vacant, ugly, run down house that needed lots of updating. Maria gutted the entire house, added 280 sqft for the master bedroom, changed the roofline, added a new front porch, a 12 x 16 deck in back, new fencing and a gate. Everything is new from roof to foundation… new flooring, new tile, new sheetrock, new electrical, new kitchen, new baths, new outdoor living space, new everything.

At the meeting, you will see how Maria transformed this old house into a modern day home that buyers are looking for. Maria also renovated the house next door which recently sold for $210K at the end of June. So join us and come see this house now before it’s sold and learn some valuable lessons on how Maria did it!

How to Go From Zero to Hero in Real Estate Investing
& Build a Multi-Million Dollar Company Virtually Overnight!
with David Minor

David MinorDo you want to learn how to start with nothing, start investing in real estate and go from zero to hero seemingly overnight? While this may sound unlikely or impossible to most new investors, David Minor didn’t get the message and didn’t take no for an answer.

I asked my good friend, David Minor, to join us on the next Beginning Investors Group Online webinar on Tuesday, August 28th at 7PM ET tell you his story on how he went from being a stranger in town with very little money, no real estate experience and no deals, to being one of the biggest wholesalers in Tampa, FL in under 2 very short years.

On the webinar, I asked David to tell you how he got started just a few years ago and how he and his business Vesado became successful so quickly in a highly competitive market like Tampa, FL dominated by our friends at New Western Acquisitions, NetWorth Realty, Homevestors and others to numerous to mention.

I also asked David to tell you, that if he had to start all over again from zero, knowing what he knows now, what if anything he might do differently in 2018 to start anew.

If you want to learn to go from zero to hero from someone who has been there and done that and was in your shoes just a few short years ago, register for the webinar now at BIGO.co and join us on Tuesday, August 28th at 7PM ET to learn how you can do it!

The entire back of the house was rotted so Malhar is rebuilding most of the back of the house and opening up the floor plan. He took the house down to the studs, and in some parts, down to the foundation for renovation. The house is currently in the trim out phase and should be completed within a month.

There are many lessons to be learned on this project and all the projects we visit, so come join us and see the transformations for yourself and find out more how you can get involved in fixing and flipping houses!

Bulletproofing Your
Rehab Projects

with Roger Blankenship
Monday, August 27th @ 6:30PM
Cherokee Cattle Company
2710 Canton Rd, Marietta, GA

No Charge for Atlanta REIA Members, Guests $10 at the Door.

Roger BlankenshipJoin us for this Atlanta REIA West Real Estate Event at 6:30pm on Monday, August 27th at The Cherokee Cattle Company at 2710 Canton Rd in Marietta where Roger Blankenship will show you how to find, vet, interview, hire and manage contractors.

There are two important factors that determines your success in real estate investing. The most important determining factor in real estate investing is your purchase price. This is great because you are in control. The second most important determining factor in your success is your renovation process, cost, and result. This will either make you or break you, and unfortunately, a good bit of this is not in your direct control. Why? Because you will likely be hiring a contractor to do the work.

Our industry is filled with horror stories about contractors and the renovation process. While no system can make this perfect, our system can help you take huge strides toward your goals. The procedures I am going to show you have been perfected over hundreds and hundreds of fix and flip projects. We learned a lot of lessons in the school of hard knocks and you will be the beneficiary of what we’ve learned.

Wouldn’t you rather learn from others mistakes instead of making them yourself? Come see us on Monday, August 27th and let Roger show you:

  • Why you should be in continuous contractor hiring mode
  • That you should trust your feelings if you’re feeling a little leery and what to do about those feelings
  • What are the absolute red flag issues to prevent you from hiring
  • How to investigate a contractor’s back story
  • How to check their current licensing status
  • The Eleven Essential documents you need for a bulletproof project and where to get them for free
  • How to conduct a signing ceremony for your construction agreement
  • How and when to visit your project
  • How to set expectations in advance for onsite performance
  • What to do when (not if) things go wrong

How to Find and Convert an Endless Supply of Motivated Sellers
with Amy Ransdell

$2 Charge for ALL Attendees

Amy RansdellInvestors, are you finding enough deals for your pipeline? Wholesalers, if you had more deals would your buyers still need more? Real estate agents, do you have enough listings or would a few more make your year even better? If you poll investors, wholesalers, or agents, one of the most common challenges they face is lead generation for acquisition.

We hear so many people complaining about this being a low-inventory market while others are bringing in deal after deal. So, how do we know which lead generation techniques work best? How do we decide where to spend our marketing dollars? How do we build systems that bring in a consistent flow of opportunities?

If you would like to learn about having a steady stream of motivated sellers, you should definitely come to Mountain REIA event on Tuesday, August 7th at 6:30PM, and hear our special guest speaker, Amy Ransdell.

During this presentation, Amy will tell you all about:

  • What is a “Motivated Seller” and How do You Find Them?
  • Using Relationships Drive Leads
  • Creating Maximum Exposure to Attract Sellers
  • Using Technology & Outsourcing for the Competitive Edge
  • The 5 Must-Do TIPS to Convert Sellers Into Closings

3 Strategies You Can Use Today
To Beat The IRS

with Roger Herring
August 8th @ 6PM, Club E,
3707 Main Street, College Park, GA

NO CHARGE for everyone who attends
this month’s event ONLY

Roger HerringWe are pleased to announce that Roger Herring will be our special guest speaker this month at our Atlanta REIA South monthly meeting in College Park.

The IRS. Just hearing those 3 letters can send a chill up your spine, or even make one’s blood boil. Who can blame when that entity seemingly enjoys sticking its hands into your pockets to grab a chunk of your hard earned money.

In 2018, new tax laws were enacted to the benefit of many, and to the chagrin of a few. However, for you to take advantages of the benefits, you MUST know what they are.

The New tax laws have impacted entity selection, deprecation strategies for landlords, 1031 strategies, the new Qualified Business Income deduction, Power partnerships and how they work, and many other sweeping changes.

Roger Herring, Founder and CEO of Investors Accounting, one of the few firms totally dedicated to serving the unique needs of real estate investors when it comes to accounting and taxes.

Accounting for Real Estate Investors is something that is not taught in school. It is a unique field that requires specialized understanding in specific areas of the tax code that most practitioners do not even know exists. Roger works with investors year round, not just at tax time.

At this event you will learn 3 Strategies to send the IRS in the other direction:

  • Use Depriciation Strategy to Save Now and Later
  • Hire Your Children
  • The Power Partnership
  • And Ask an Expert Tax Q & A

RSVP Now and join us this Wednesday at the Atlanta REIA South/Multi-Family Real Estate Meeting at 6PM on Wed, August 8th at Club E at 3707 Main St. in College Park.

Roger is a 1991 graduate of The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, he served as an officer in the US Army Reserves for 8 years.
