Atlanta REIA is excited to announce that George Antone, founder of MPactWealth, will be the special guest speaker at our Main Monthly Meeting on Monday, September 14th at 5PM. The meeting will take place at Atlanta Unity located at 3597 Parkway Lane in Norcross, GA. George will be sharing with us his years of knowledge about being an entrepreneur and investor.
Since the age of 16, George has been involved in business with several of his family’s enterprises. He has become an expert at structuring deals, whether real estate, notes, or any other income-producing transactions. Most investors know how to find the deals, and many even know how to find the funds to close the deal, however, the majority of investors do not structure their deals properly and they leave themselves vulnerable down the road. You definitely don’t want to be that investor. So don’t miss this very important meeting.
At the meeting, George will briefly discuss what he will be going into more depth about at The Wealthy Code Workshop. He will discuss…
- Mistakes to avoid in order to earn passive income that is consistent and dependable
- How to evaluate and adjust deal risks and rewards in a way that allows you to make the deal work for you
- Ways to minimize your risk and and maximize your profits by using different structures for your deals
- How to achieve the dream of most entrepreneurs of working less, having less stress, and having more money and the freedom to spend your time doing what you love to do
- And much, much more!
Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn how to structure all of your income producing deals to make you more money. All this is happening at the Atlanta REIA main meeting on Monday, September 14th at 5PM at Atlanta Unity located at 3597 Parkway Lane in Norcross, GA.
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!

The long awaited High Tech Home Buyers Creative Deal Makers Subgroup is here. Are 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 credit? 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.

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.

Where do you go to get a lease option buyer or an owner finance buyer qualified to get a conventional mortgage and cash you out?

These same people may be able to qualify in a few years with some help and guidance. Come hear from an expert in this arena as he discusses credit, how it impacts the marginal borrower, and how to resolve their issues. For more than 20 years, Hurdis has been working with lenders and attorneys to help their clients understand and improve their credit issues.

Don DeRosa is a part time real estate trainer and mentor and full-time real estate investor who actively buys, sells and holds properties each month for huge profits and long term cash flow. Today Don is working furiously at buying properties “Subject-To” using the existing financing on the seller’s home instead of having to go to a bank or a hard money lender for funding. This allows Don to buy multiple properties fast, without coming up with all the purchase funds on the front end. This is the perfect strategy in today’s market where easy funding is not readily available for investors to buy pretty houses.
Join us on Monday, August 17th at 6:30PM at the Atlanta REIA Beginning Investors Group Meeting at Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs and Don will share with you, many of the subject-to strategies, tools and techniques he uses every day to create winning deals for himself as well as his buyers and sellers.
Don will walk you through real world, actual deals, step-by-step to demonstrate how to apply these strategies, tools and techniques. In fact, you can bring your deals, and he’ll show you exactly how to evaluate the lead, determine your exit strategy, structure the deal, negotiate with the seller and get the paperwork done almost instantly and without any of the hard work you normally do to get your deals done.
By the end of the presentation, you’ll know…
- How to recognize a “Subject To” opportunity and buy with little or no money!
- How to evaluate any lead and decide whether this is a winner for you and how much money you’ll make before you make your offer
- How to combine buying strategies and exit strategies – that work right now, in 2015
- How to structure a deal in less than 10 minutes, so that you make a minimum of $20,000 on it, choosing from multiple purchase and exist strategies
- How to determine the seller’s hot buttons so you can craft a deal the seller can’t refuse
- How to use Don’s proprietary tools to negotiate for you, so you never let your emotions talk you into making a bad deal!
Don’t miss out on learning about this great investing strategy you can use to get your real estate business up and going!
We are looking forward to seeing you at the meeting!

Posted on August 10, 2015 byThe Landscape is Shifting
with Frank Iglesias
August 18th, 7PM, Hudson Grille
6317 Roswell Rd, Sandy Springs, GA
Atlanta REIA Members & Guests, Please RSVP on Meetup.com
If you have been sending out tons of mailers and maybe not getting as much nice feedback as you have in the past, welcome to the club. The market is hot and response rates are not…IF you have been doing the same thing as you were even just six months ago.
That being said, there are still a ton of deals out there. You just have to start looking in different places in addition to changing your approach. Or perhaps, simply do larger volume. And let’s not forget, your mindset can have a significant impact on the process as well.
In this session, we will revisit our roundtable discussion to find out what is working, what is not, and ideas you can implement to start finding the wholesale gems that are out there in your area.
And I assure you they are out there! Join us as we dig into this all too important topic of marketing as a wholesaler this month. You are in the marketing business whether you realize it or not.
Bring your ideas, your recent results, and your deals so everyone can learn together. People in the group are doing deals today so make sure to bring yours!
See you there!
My name is Frank Iglesias. Come join us on Tuesday, August 18th 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. We are looking forward to exploring how we can grow together in our local market. We hope you will join us!
Atlanta REIA North Meets August 19th with Corky Nesbitt
Posted on August 10, 2015 byAugust 19th, 6:30PM
1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Suite D, Buford, GA
Atlanta REIA Members Please RSVP on Meetup.com
Consumer Reports stated that 63% of people who call someone and get a voicemail do not actually leave a voicemail, but just hang up. If a motivated seller calls your number and gets a voicemail, the chances are high that they will just hang up and call the number from the next letter in the pile. Don’t miss the Atlanta REIA North meeting this month where our special guest speaker, Corky Nesbitt from Communication Business Services, Inc (CBSI), will be sharing all the services his company can provide to make sure that your phone never goes unanswered so you won’t lose out on that potential deal. The meeting will take place on Wednesday, August 19th at 6:30PM located at 1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Suite D, Buford, GA.
Being a successful investor is dependent upon being a successful marketer. There has to be a continuous flow of leads coming across your desk and your phone should always be ringing. There is no way possible that you can make yourself available 24/7 to always be answering those phone calls, along with analyzing the deals, going to the properties, meeting with sellers, etc. It would also be a waste of money sending out letters to motivated sellers, only for them to call you back and you not be available to answer and they getting your voicemail. CBSI can help with that.
