When most investors see a single family dwelling, they see a house only-flip or rent, the end.

- Reducing debt through refinancing
- Increasing cash flow by repurposing a property ($255 per month to $4000 per month!)
- Leveraging a house to purchase a mobile home park (additional cash flow of $3000 per month!)
- Applying creative techniques to maximize cash flow and reduce taxes
– Lease Back
– 1031 Exchange
– Trading Shares in Private Offering - Negotiating owner financing by actively listening and responding to the needs of the seller
- Purchasing real estate well below market value
- Generating cash at closing through creative loan structuring
- Recognizing potential for real estate deals through old fashioned techniques
- Overcoming obstacles (i.e. market crash of 2008) and generating positive cash flow ($4000 per month!)
- Defining goals and setting guidelines to obtain those goals
- Staying focused and not getting lost in the heat of the battle

Learn All About Home Inspections and How They Can Save You Money on S
Posted on September 16, 2015 bywith Special Guest, Rick Harris
September 23rd, 6:30PM
1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Suite D, Buford, GA
*DATE CHANGE* The Atlanta REIA North Meeting now meets on the 4th Wednesday every month.
Atlanta REIA Members Please RSVP on Meetup.com
We are excited to announce that ASHI certified home inspector, Rick Harris, will be our special guest speaker this month at the Atlanta REIA North monthly meeting. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 23rd at 6:30PM located at 1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Suite D, Buford, GA. Rick will be teaching us all about home inspections and why they are such a critical part of your real estate investing business.
Whenever you are buying a new home either as a rental or to rehab, you will definitely want to have that house examined by a certified home inspector. A home inspector can save you from so many headaches by bringing to light potential problems that you may not have been able to see just by walking through the property. They can also save you a lot of money by helping you more accurately figure your rehab costs prior to purchase so that you can buy smart, and earn a large profit. You could potentially only estimate a $10,000 rehab, but a thorough home inspection may find an additional $15,000 in other repairs you didn’t see during your walk though. That additional $15,000 in repairs will come straight out of your pocket if you don’t factor it in before you make your offer.
You definitely do not want to miss this meeting and learn directly from a certified home inspector what he looks for in houses and how he can save you a lot of money on the front end, before you buy your next investment property. There will be a lot of learning and great networking. Make sure to bring your business cards and deals to discuss.
The Atlanta REIA North meeting is held on the 4th Wednesday of each month at 6:30PM at 1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Suite D, Buford, GA.. Atlanta REIA members can attend this meeting for FREE and guests and non-members can pay just $10 at the door OR pre-register online for only $5! Plan to get there early at 6PM to network before the meeting begins. There will be lots of learning and lots of networking. Bring your deals and your haves, wants and needs to the event.
We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!
Atlanta REIA Members Please RSVP on Meetup.com
After the conclusion of the Atlanta REIA North Meeting (after 9:30PM), we will be reconvening at the Tannery Row Ale House located at 554 W Main St in historic downtown Buford, GA for the “Meeting after the Meeting”.

Access to money is a key component in the success of a real estate investor. The more access you have, the more opportunities will be available to you. Come out this month to the Atlanta REIA Wild Wild West, where we are excited to have our good friends Mark and Anne Lackey as our special guest speakers. The Lackeys have raised close to a million dollars using a proven method that they will share with us. The meeting will take place on Monday, September 28th at 6:30PM at the Cherokee Cattle Company located at 2710 Canton Rd in Marietta.
Finding private money is a huge challenge for many investors. Banks are generally not too helpful to investors, especially full-time investors who don’t have high earning full time J-O-Bs. Many sellers want cash, which leaves you, the investor, stuck trying to make deals work without access to the funds. By implementing the steps that the Lackey’s will teach you, your business will be able to take off to new heights!
Mark and Anne will show you…
- 5 ways to fund your deals without using your own cash or credit
- How to find private money lenders
- A proven strategy to ask for the funds you need for your deals
- An overview of all the necessary paperwork you will need
Come prepared to roll up your sleeves and start working on your private money pitch. This will be great meeting where you will gain confidence in your ability to find and secure private funds. Don’t miss it!
Mark and Anne Lackey are well known around Atlanta and across the nation as Real Estate Investors, Authors, Speakers and Educators as well as REALTORs. They coach and train hundreds of US and Canadians to a successful real estate career. Mark and Anne have written multiple Best Selling books and developed multiple Educational Programs and systems for many areas of Real Estate Investing.
Today, Mark and Anne control and manage over $3M in passive income producing residential properties, (aka rentals) in their own portfolio, and manage $23M of income producing properties for other investors. Each year they find, fix-up and flip multiple properties for profit and have transacted over $35M in real estate over the past 5 years alone.

Working with Superstar Realtors at Atlanta Wholesalers Group
Posted on September 15, 2015 bywith Frank Iglesias
September 15th, 7PM, Hudson Grille
6317 Roswell Rd, Sandy Springs, GA
Atlanta REIA Members & Guests, Please RSVP on Meetup.com
You know you need them…Realtors. Despite what any you’ve read anywhere, whether online or offline, you must know how to work with Realtors. They are a key part to your success so getting this one right can mean the difference in big paychecks or none at all.
Realtors come across wholesalers quite often in many of our markets. While this works well in some scenarios, far too often the experience is one that the Realtors do not speak highly of. And I am not referring to the Realtors who are ignorant wholesaling!
I am referring to the ones that do ‘get it’. And I assure you they are out there.
This month, we will be joined by two Superstar Realtors that have extensive experience working with investors. Because Atlanta is like two large markets in one, we will have one who specializes in in-town properties near downtown Atlanta and another that specializes in the suburbs.
You want to be here as you will find out that some Realtors know more than you may have given them credit for…A LOT more in this case.
Learn what is going on through their minds when you approach them with when you ask for their general help, or your offers or if you are looking for one for a specific deal.
This one you cannot afford to get wrong. An effective wholesaler knows how to leverage Realtors to their advantage and create win-win relationships that benefit all parties not just once but repeatedly!
Proximity is power so come join us as you get to meet two of the best agents out there for working with investors in the city!
Bring your best energy, your deals and let’s do some business on the spot. See you then.
My name is Frank Iglesias. Come join us on Tuesday, September 15th at 7PM at the Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs as we network, do what is now our standard deal analysis at every meeting and then we will dive into our topic for the evening!
Atlanta REIA Members & Guests, Please RSVP on Meetup.com
This Atlanta Wholesalers group is primarily for wholesalers who are serious about the business and not just “trying” Real Estate out. Frank started this group to work with other wholesalers who are serious about building their business using the utmost of honesty and integrity.

Our next All Inclusive Marketing (AIM) Group Meeting is Wednesday, September 9th at 7:00PM at the Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs.
Let me ask you a couple of questions:
- Do you know what tools to use to get all the leads you want?
- Do you know what tools to use to sell all the deals you have?
- Do you have enough time to do everything in this business and still have a lot of time to enjoy life?
- Are you able to find enough deals to have a sustainable flow of leads, and buyers to have a successful real estate business?
If the answer is NO to any of the questions above, then this meeting is for you.
If the answer is yes, and you want to increase the number of deals you do or just improve the quality of your life, then this meeting is for you, too.
I will be sharing with you
- All the tools of the trade
- What tools to use to find tons of leads
- What to use to sell all your deals
- How to reach thousands of people within minutes
- All the small, but vital details of each tool
- How to set up each of the tools I will teach you about
- Where to get the tools from
- How to automate your marketing and your business using these tools
- And much more
Marketing has been one of my strengths and I am very proud of the results I have produced over the years from most of my marketing campaigns. I will share all the tools I have used and am currently using to run all of my marketing and most of my business on autopilot.
We will meet on Wednesday September 9th at the Hudson Grille, at 7PM. Get there early at 6:30 to order your food and drink.

The Atlanta REIA All Inclusive Marketing (AIM) Group (formerly known as the “I Love Marketing” group) is a networking and educational meeting led by Rock Shukoor for like-minded real estate investors and small business owners who enjoy marketing and are interested in taking their business to the next level through creative marketing techniques.
AIM is for people who want to get together, learn and discuss marketing challenges, strategies and opportunities.

Learn All About Home Inspections and How They Can Save You Money
Posted on August 31, 2015 bywith Special Guest, Rick Harris
September 1st, 6:30PM, Golden Corral, Cumming, GA
We are excited to announce that ASHI certified home inspector, Rick Harris, will be our special guest speaker this month at the Mountain REIA monthly meeting. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 1st at 6:30PM at the Golden Corral located at 2025 Market Place Blvd, Cumming, GA. Rick will be teaching us all about home inspections and why they are such a critical part of your real estate investing business.
Whenever you are buying a new home either as a rental or to rehab, you will definitely want to have that house examined by a certified home inspector. A home inspector can save you from so many headaches by bringing to light potential problems that you may not have been able to see just by walking through the property. They can also save you a lot of money by helping you more accurately figure your rehab costs prior to purchase so that you can buy smart, and earn a large profit. You could potentially only estimate a $10,000 rehab, but a thorough home inspection may find an additional $15,000 in other repairs you didn’t see during your walk though. That additional $15,000 in repairs will come straight out of your pocket if you don’t factor it in before you make your offer.
You definitely do not want to miss this meeting and learn directly from a certified home inspector what he looks for in houses and how he can save you a lot of money on the front end, before you buy your next investment property. There will be a lot of learning and great networking. Make sure to bring your business cards and deals to discuss.
We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!
