At the meeting, Mr. Tycoon will be teaching our members and guests “Why Wholesaling & Why Now?!”

At the meeting, Mr. Tycoon is going to show you “when you wholesale houses, you make your money – in cash – before you buy!” He’s also going to show you why finding bargain properties is probably the most important skill you can ever possibly learn as a real estate investor.

  • What it means to wholesale a house
  • How wholesaling can be done with very little money, training and absolutely no cred
  • How to wholesale houses part time and make a full time income
  • Answers to your questions and so much more!

Mr. Tycoon will teach strategies that will enable you to…

  • Pay off all your debt and past due bills
  • Start building (or re-building) your retirement account so you never have to worry about running out of money during retirement
  • Quit your job and live your life in freedom
  • How to get on the fast track to wealth

Wahid Shakur, aka “Mr. Tycoon”, is an internationally renowned Motivational Speaker, Personal Development Coach, Investment Real Estate Guru and Entrepreneur of Success. Mr. Tycoon is legendary for his “tough but fair” deal-making and negotiation skills. His bestselling book, “Success Is Not A Secret, It’s A System,” extracts the lessons he learned on the road to building his successful real estate investment company and personal fortune, and is the “must-have” guidebook to achieving financial and personal success. Read more about Mr. Tycoon >>

Come spend 90 minutes with Mr. Tycoon at the Atlanta REIA Meeting on Monday, April 3rd at 5:00 PM and learn how to get started wholesaling houses or how to take your existing wholesaling business to the next level.

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.

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, April 3rd from 5PM to 6PM at the Atlanta REIA Main 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…

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!

Leslie MathisPlease be sure to join us at the Beginning Investors Group Online on Wednesday, March 22nd at 7:00PM ET with Leslie Mathis and learn all about how creative deal structuring can help you generate more profits for your real estate investing business.

When you find a seller with a real estate problem that you can’t solve by buying for cash at a discount, Creative Deal Structuring gives you many more tools in your toolbox for you to solve their problem…giving YOU more ways to PROFIT! Leslie will share with you those tools.

You’ll learn:

  • 4 Different Deal Structures
  • What you must get from your motivated sellers to structure deals that will solve their problems
  • 3 Ways You Can Make A Profit Using Creative Deal Structures
  • And answers to your questions and much more!

Leslie began her real estate career when she found herself broke and living in her parents garage after following the traditional path of “get a degree (she got two), get a job, and live the American Dream” failed her. With no money and no cred, she had to find a way out of her situation.

When she was introduced to buying real estate without using her own money or cred, she embraced Creative Deal Structuring with a passion and was able to leave her job shortly thereafter. Leslie has never looked back, using Creative Deal Structuring to build economic independence for herself. She wants you to know that you can do it too!

Each month Don, Barry and any guest panelists 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.

Also, if your deal is a poor or marginal deal, Don, Barry and the attendees will discuss how to restructure and renegotiate the deal to make it a more marketable and sellable deal. As the deals are analyzed and pre-screened, you will learn how other investors evaluate deals, determine as-is and after repair comps, estimate repairs, etc. So in addition to actively doing deals, this is a learning event as well.

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.
