A rare exciting opportunity is coming your way on Monday, September 12th at the Atlanta REIA Main Meeting at the Doubletree Hotel Roswell located at 1075 Holcomb Bridge Rd, Roswell, GA where our special guest speaker will be “Mr Probate” Jim Banks. Jim will be showing us how to tap into a massive amount of available properties that we can purchase for up to 60% below market value that most people don’t even know about!
Did you know that there is a hidden market that is continually underserved and full of property that needs to be sold… from real estate to valuable personal belongings? There is an unpublished market with millions of available properties that haven’t been exposed to the general public yet, waiting to be bought at deep discounts. Investing in this hidden market is known as Probates Investing.
Probate is the governing process for the liquidation and distribution of a person’s assets to their heirs after they pass away. And just so you know, there is often no greater motivated seller than someone inheriting a probate property they don’t want and can’t afford to maintain from a thousand miles away!
At the meeting, Jim is going to show you how to build your own lucrative probate business, how to find properties and other personal items worth buying, best practices for buying and selling, and how to maximize your profits for big gains. Jim will equip you with all the tools you to make probate investing success. Jim will show you:
- Why Probate Real Estate Investing is incredibly profitable
- How to Find Probate Properties BEFORE they are advertised to competitors
- How A Probate Investor Can cut costs and bring closure to the estate sooner
- How you can beat brokers before they even know about the property
- How you can become a valuable asset to the settlement of the estate and make a profit
- How to market to these motivated sellers
- What to say to these motivated sellers once you find them
- How to buy probates up to 60% below fair market value
- And much, much more!
Stop competing with average investors over the same properties and learn how to tap into this lucrative market that will never ever run dry. TAKE ACTION, RSVP for this Meeting Now and join us and learn the secrets of buying deeply discounted probate properties for massive profits!

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.
