Atlanta REIA Meeting Updates
Learn How to ACT On or REACT To Any Deal with Jon & Stephanie Iannotti at Atlanta REIA on March 6, 2017
Posted on February 15, 2017 by& Vendor Trade Show
Atlanta REIA Members Can Attend at No Charge. This month,
Guests Can RSVP Online Now for $20 or Pay $25 at the Door.
We are excited to announce that Jon & Stephanie Iannotti will be our special guest trainers this month at Atlanta REIA on Monday, March 6th at 5:00 PM at the Crowne Plaza Ravinia located at 4355 Ashford Dunwoody Rd, Atlanta, GA. Jon & Steph will be teaching us about how his CATS can help YOU do more deals by giving you the tools needed to structure profitable transactions that others would normally pass on.
CATS?!?!… No, we are not referring to his kitty cats… Jon and his wife Stephanie have created a real estate system they call CATS (Complete Agreeable Terms System). The CATS system is currently helping ordinary, everyday investors become extraordinary investors by giving them the tools they need to do deals that 99% of other investors don’t even realize are deals. Deals that are upside down. Deals where the seller wants full price and all cash. Deals where the seller is behind on payments. All types of deals you might normally throw in the trash.
Knowledge is the key and what you don’t know about how to structure creative transactions can definitely hurt your wallet. Imagine knowing how to take a lead most other investors would toss away and turn it into a profitable deal that could make you thousands in a very, very short period of time!
During his 90 minute presentation, Jon will teach you how to…
- Make money without using your own cred, money or contractors
- Turn a dud of a deal into a profitable deal
- What to do when a seller wants full retail and all cash
- Profit from houses that are upside down
- Do as many deals per month as you desire
- Make a minimum of $10,000 per deal
- Get the benefits of ownership without actually owning the house
- Put your entire business on “Cruise Control”
- All this and much, much more!
- Answers to your questions and more!
Jon and his wife Stephanie have over 30 years combined Real Estate investing and teaching experience. They have over 3000 creative deals under their belt and are considered some of the best in the industry.
Jon and Stephanie created ACT (Agreeable Contract Terms System) for when the seller says “Yes” to terms. They created REACT (Reverse Engineered Agreeable Contract Terms) when the seller says “No” to terms and wants full retail value and all cash.
They have now combined these two systems into CATS (the Complete Agreeable Terms System) to have best of both worlds. Now they can make offers that have a high likelihood of being accepted on any of the leads that come across their desk and you can too!
Come spend 90 minutes with Jon at the Atlanta REIA Meeting on Monday, March 6th at 5:00 PM where they will explain how to turn seemingly dead property leads into profitable deals. You certainly will not want to miss out on this career changing information! We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!
As always, Atlanta REIA Members can attend the event at no charge and Non-Members can Register Online for $20 or pay $25.00 at the door. Be sure to bring your business cards and flyers and join us for an evening of real estate deals, vendors, networking, education and fun! See you there! RSVP Now!

This is an AMAZING TIME TO BUY real estate. But whether you’re going to buy bank-owned houses, foreclosures, or short sales for pennies on the dollar, you need CASH to do it. And given the tight credit market, Private Money is the KEY to taking advantage of the amazing deals out there in the market today. If you have all the private funds you need, you can buy all the houses you want. But you need to know HOW! And asking someone to lend you money is almost never a comfortable conversation.
Join Don DeRosa at the High Tech Home Buying Creative Deal Structuring Subgroup on Monday, March 6th from 5PM to 6PM at the Atlanta REIA Main Meeting at the Doubletree where he will share how to get all the private money you need to buy all the houses you want in this market.
He’s going to share some of his tips – like the 15 second ‘infomercial’ he gives when someone asks him “What do you do?” – which inevitably leads to a conversation on Private Lending. But, as you’ll see, Don never asks them for money. The conversation leads to THEM ask HIM about how THEY can lend HIM money. Yes, it really works. And when you leave, you’ll know the exact words to say to a potential lender. Hope to see you there!
At 5:00 PM in the Vendor Room, we have a Vendor Trade Show that lasts throughout the meeting where you can come out and meet many of our participating Business Members and Vendor Guests who help sponsor our meeting. See a full list of our vendors and sponsors below as they are added.
Vendor tables are limited, so any vendors wanting to reserve a table for the meeting can RSVP for a Vendor Table here. Vendor tables are reserved and setup on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Starting at 6:15 PM, Dustin Griffin kicks off the Atlanta REIA Main Meeting with updates and announcements. Dustin covers what’s happening at Atlanta REIA in the upcoming weeks and months such as upcoming workshops, webcasts, special events, members benefits and much more! Be sure to be in the main meeting room at 6:15 PM for your chance to be one of the first to receive a printed copy of The Profit Newsletter while supplies last.
At approximately 6:30 PM, Joe Thompson will be hosting the Haves & Wants Speed Marketing Session which gives our members the opportunity to quickly market deals they HAVE and to find deals they WANT. We also give our business members the opportunity to get up and say a few words about their businesses. Members who want to participate in the Haves & Wants Marketing Session must bring your flyers and get to the meeting early to get on Joe’s list of participants.

After the conclusion of the Atlanta REIA Main Meeting, we will be reconvening at 9:30 PM at Taco Mac Perimeter located at the Perimeter Place, 1211 Ashford Crossing, Atlanta, GA for the Late Nite Networking and the “Meeting-After-The-Meeting”!
