How To Wholesale Virtually
with Jeffrey Richman
Atlanta REIA Members Can Attend at No Charge.
Guests Pay $15 Online or $20 at the Door. RSVP Now!

Jeffrey RichmanYou may ask, “What is Virtual Wholesaling”? It is when you buy and sell properties at wholesale prices, often sight unseen, from long-distances using computers, tablets, smart phones, online references along with local help when you can get it. On Monday, October 16th at 6:30PM at the Beginning Investors Group in Sandy Springs, we will have as our special guest speaker, Jeffrey Richman, from Charlotte, North Carolina, who will show you the in’s and out’s of Virtual Wholesaling!

The big advantage of Virtual Wholesaling is that the investor can spread their efforts across multile markets, which can maximize their potential return on investment, especially if they are operating in a hot, crowded market area.

Jeffrey Will Show You:

  • Why not to limit yourself to just your own local market
  • The tools necessary for success
  • How to utilize technology
  • Answers to your questions and much more!

Mountain REIA
Making The Impossible Deals, Profitable!
October 3rd @ 6:30PM,
Golden Corral Cumming,
2025 Market Pl Blvd, Cumming, GA

$2 Charge for ALL Attendees.

Bill CookDid you know that every month, within 5 miles of your home, there’s a $15,000 net-profit deal waiting to be had? The hard part is finding it, and then knowing how to creatively structure it into a big-profit deal. There won’t be a large sign in the yard that reads: Stop Here – $15,000 Deal Inside! A common mistake made by many would-be real estate investors is to run a We Buy Houses ad, then sit back and wait for the phone to ring. A truth: The phone rarely rings! Because of this, most new investors go out of business long before they find their first deal!

To succeed at real estate investing, you must get face-to-face with sellers on a regular basis. The fastest, cheapest and most effective way to accomplish this all-important task is to simply knock on sellers’ doors and ask why they’re selling.

In addition to door-knocking, you must continually learn creative deal structuring techniques from experienced real estate investors. The best creative deal structurer I know is Pete Fortunato. With nearly 50 years of deal-making experience under his belt, he’s the master! If you want to learn how to make impossible deals possible, do what we do: hang out with been-there-and-done-that investors. They know stuff! You will find these been-there-done-that experienced investors at your local REIA functions.

RSVP Now and join us for Mountain REIA at 6:30pm on Tuesday, October 3rd at The Golden Corral in Cumming at 2025 Market Place Blvd. in Cumming. Come join us for this fun, informative event. See Y’all There!

Everyone can attend for $2.00. Show up at 6:30 PM to eat and network before the meeting officially starts at 7:00 PM. Buying your own meal is optional but highly recommended and greatly appreciated since Golden Corral allows us to use their meeting room.

There will be lots of learning and lots of networking. Bring
your deals and your haves, wants and needs to the event.

Oct 2nd Meeting Before the Meeting
with Don DeRosa

Don DeRosaAre you spending money on marketing and not getting any deals? Are you able to take any lead and make a deal out of it? Do you know how to make multiple offers that actually get accepted? Are you using technology to your advantage? If the answer is “NO” to these questions then you MUST attend this subgroup meeting.

Would you like to learn how to structure deals so you can buy houses with little or none of your own cash and none of your own cred? 15 hours a week… That’s all you need! Imagine… taking any seller lead and being able to create a winning deal out of it… Making thousands of dollars where you thought there were none. No more wasted marketing dollars. No more wasted phone calls. No more wasted time.

Join Don DeRosa at the High Tech Home Buying Creative Deal Structuring Subgroup on Monday, October 2nd from 5PM to 6PM at the Atlanta REIA Main Monthly Meeting where he will be teaching about a wide variety of topics each month. Don will teach you about the state-of-the-art tools and techniques you’ll use to evaluate deals and figure out how to make them work – so you can work less and spend more time where you want, when you want and with whom you want.

Some topics Don will be teaching about include:

  • Using Apps on your iPad or other mobile device to evaluate deals on the go
  • Creative Techniques such as Wrap Around Mortgages, Sandwich Lease Options, Subject-To, Seller Financing, and more
  • How to be a transaction engineer.
  • How to be a problem solver.
  • And so much more…

Please RSVP on Meetup.com

Bring your deals and Don will walk through them step-by-step and he’ll show you how to easily evaluate the lead, determine your exit strategy, structure the deal, negotiate with the seller, and get the paperwork done in a snap.

Its an amazing time to be a real estate investor. Don’t look back 5 years from now and wish you had acted. Learn how to buy right… Learn to Make More and Work Less, Right Now!

Are you tired of focusing your retirement funds on mediocre investments like stocks and bonds? Why not instead invest in what you know—real estate! Learn how to set up a Solo 401k and how to self-direct your retirement savings into real estate investments such as rental properties and notes.

Dorsie has been a full time real estate investor for the past 6 years. While focusing on building her real estate business and investment portfolio, Dorsie discovered that real estate investors have unique opportunities for retirement investing on which we should be cashing in! One of these tools is the Solo 401k where a business owner can contribute up to $54,000 per year. The Solo 401k has a lot of benefits that make it even more attractive than a self-directed IRA… AND you can even have a Solo 401k along with an IRA!

Beginning Investors Group ONLINE
You Don’t Need Money Or Cred To Buy Houses! September 27th
@ 7PM on GoToWebinar
with Don DeRosa

No Charge to Attend for Members or Guests
Who Attend Online via GoToWebinar.com!

Don DeRosaHave you ever watched those tv programs that show couples flipping properties for tens of thousands of dollars and wished you could do that? Do you wish that you could find something that could provide you with additional income that would make your life better? Well guess what. Real estate might be your answer and it’s easier than you think. Most people think you have to have lots of money or good cred to buy real estate. Some people even think you have to be really smart. The truth is NONE of this is true! Don’t get me wrong, having any and all of those things are helpful but definitely not needed. In fact, most of the time I prefer to teach people with none of those things because then you can’t use them as a crutch!

This month on the BIGO broadcast, I will be showing you how to make money without any of your own money or cred. All you will need is your willingness to learn and your ability to apply simple techniques. I will show you how to identify a property, put it under contract and simply assign that contract to someone else for a fee. I will also show you how to buy properties where the homeowner just deeds over the property to you and you become the owner. Can you imagine buying properties where you never have to use your cred and never have to go to the bank ever again. Would you like to buy a new home to live in but can’t afford the down payment? That’s no problem, I’ll show you how.

Here is some of the items you can learn from this session:

  • How to find properties to flip for virtually no money out of your pocket
  • How to identify what is a good deal and what is a dud
  • What three tiny pieces of paper can make you $10,000 per month
  • How to upgrade to the house of your dreams without needing a bank
  • How to buy property after property even if you have horrid cred and no money to your name
  • And Much, Much More!

If you’ve ever said these words to yourself, “ I wish I could afford that…” then you need to be on this broadcast. This could be the most important session you go to your whole life. There are two types of people out there in this world. Those that “Dream” and those that “Do.” Which do you want to be? Be on this month’s broadcast on Wednesday September 27th @ 7PM ET and let me change the statement from “I wish I could afford that…” to “How can I afford that?”

Let me leave you with this thought. “ If you don’t build your dream, someone will hire you to build theirs”. Is that what you want? RSVP NOW!

Register Now!

The Beginning Investors Group Online ( The “BIG O” or BIGO) is an ONLINE educational 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.

We 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 this group is to help new investors get their first deal and help new again investors get their next deal.

The Beginning Investors Group Online meets on the 4th Wednesday of each month from 7:00 PM ET to 9:00 PM on GoToWebinar. The main presentation will start at 7:00 PM ET and go to approximately 8:30 to 9:00 PM.

Each month we will have a 3-4 person panel who will quickly pre-screen your deals and decide if they want to buy them from you on the spot. If someone on the panel wants your deal, you can have it under contract before you leave the meeting. If everyone on the panel passes on your deal, you can make it available to the entire audience. If we don’t have time to present your deal to the panel and the audience, after the meeting is over there will be plenty of time to network with other buyers and sellers and share your deals.

Your Property Flyers – In order to analyze your deals quickly, please put as much the following information on your Property Flyers as possible:

  • High, Average and Low After Repair Value (ARV)
  • Asking Price
  • How Much is Owed on the Property?
  • Amount of Monthly Mortgage Payments on the Property and the Interest Rate
  • If Behind on Payments, How Much?
  • Repairs Needed and Estimated Cost of Repairs
  • Annual Taxes
  • Annual Insurance Amount
  • Property Details such as Bedrooms, Baths, Square Feet, Year Built, Construction etc
  • Seller Situation and Reason for Selling
  • Photos of Property

Here is our schedule which is subject to change from time to time, especially around the holidays. Be sure to check our calendar for the most update dates and times.
