Our next All Inclusive Marketing (AIM) Group meeting is Monday, August 10th at 7PM at the Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs. There is no charge for this meeting for Atlanta REIA Members. Guests and Non-Members can pay $20.00 at the door or RSVP Online for $15.00.
As we all know, July has past. The month July stands for FREEDOM for us. I hope you enjoyed the whole month of July and did something special to celebrate your Freedom. At the same time, you can enjoy your freedom only when you are totally free.
What I mean by that is, free physically, mentally and financially. When you have that, you can start living your life to the fullest. Investing in real estate can provide that. I am sure you know that already and yet I am not sure if you know how to put it all together and make it happen.
Here is what I know based on my past experiences and I am sure you have heard of it before:
“You make money in real estate when you buy.”
I took that advice literally and run with it in the beginning of my career and did great for a long time till the market changed. Then I learned that was a good advice except they forgot to tell me one major point, that is:
“You realize your profit when that property is sold.”
That is what I am going to share with you this week. I will share at least 12 very cost effective ways of Building a Buyers List of Active Investors Quickly.
Do you have enough buyers for all of your properties? Do you know how to dominate your market without spending a fortune?
If the answer to any of those are NO, then you must attend this weeks event.
The strategies I will share this week are:
- Hooter Girls
- The Columbo Strategy
- Section 8 Landlords
- Ebay Down payment Strategy
- Active investors ads
- Ugly Signs
- Rental Active Landlords Ads
- MLS Sold Comparable
- Networking & Events
- Q & A
- And much, much more
EARLY BIRD BONUS: I believe in rewarding action takers and entrepreneurs that are willing to do what it takes in order to change their lives or have the desire to get better at what they are already doing. Therefore, I will offer some bonuses. As a special bonus this month for all “early birds,” I am offering the following:
- My book, “Extraordinary results by ordinary investors” (Digital copy).
- The first 2 attendees will get your copy of Bill Glazer’s “Outrageous Advertising That Is Outrageously Successful”.
- A trip for 2.
We will meet at our usual location at the Hudson Grille at 7:00PM and be there until 9:00PM and then hang out and have our Late Nite Networking. I look forward to seeing you at the meeting!

After the conclusion of our All Inclusive Marketing Meeting, we will be hanging out at the Hudson Grille for “Late Nite Networking” to socialize and build stronger bonds. So come and join us for the AIM Meeting and be prepared to stay late and network and have fun with like minded real estate investors, marketers and other professionals late into the evening!
*Please Note: AIM Meeting agenda is subject to change.
The Atlanta REIA All Inclusive Marketing (AIM) Group (formerly known as the “I Love Marketing” group) is a new networking and educational meeting led by Rock Shukoor and Dustin Griffin 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. Although many of the examples we cover at the meetings will be geared towards real estate investors, the techniques and strategies learned can easily be applied to any business. AIM meets on the 2nd Monday of each month at 7:00PM at the Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs.
Missing Atlanta REIA’s August 3rd Meeting Could Cost You a Fortune…
Posted on July 31, 2015 byHave you ever heard the expression, “you make all your money in real estate the day you buy?” Well, guess what: at Monday’s meeting, you’ll learn that…
When You Wholesale Real Estate,
You Make Your Money—In Cash—BEFORE You Buy!
Sounds too good to be true, but our guest speaker, Vena Jones-Cox, does it about 40 times a year. Join us, and you’ll learn:
Well, it’s absolutely true, and it means that finding bargain properties is probably THE most important skill any real estate investor ever learns.
If you can consistently find sellers who NEED—not want, NEED– to sell their homes, even if it means that they take pennies on the dollar, you’ll have a life full of great deals and the money that they make. If you can’t find these sellers, you literally can’t make money investing in real estate.
- How to identify the right properties right in your own back yard that you can wholesale for a $5,000-$10,000 profit in the next 30 days
- What to offer for these properties, so they sell fast and get you cash BEFORE the closing
- How to find and groom buyers for your deals
- And lots more!
It’s a great topic, a great meeting, and a great presenter, so mark your calendar and plan to attend! We’ll see you there.
BTW, Don’t forget Vena’s Saturday August 8th workshop on Advanced Wholesaling & Marketing Strategies. You can get more information or register at https://atlantareia.com/?p=27947!
Learn to Wholesale Houses for Quick Cash on August 3rd with Vena Jones-Cox
Posted on July 30, 2015 by
Our mission here at Atlanta REIA is to bring you the very best in down-to-earth, usable, money-making real estate information in the country at each and every meeting. And at our August 3rd meeting, we’ve outdone ourselves!
See, we’ve arranged for Vena Jones-Cox to come all the way from Cincinnati, Ohio to share the wholesaling strategies that will make you $5,000-$10,000 per deal, in today’s market, with no cash or credit.
We’re thrilled to have Vena—she’s one of the most in-demand experts in the country. In addition to investing in real estate full-time since 1989, she’s been featured in Smart Money Magazine, Reader’s Digest, USA Today, Money, and dozens of other books and publications, and has taught literally thousands of regular folks all over the country how to achieve their financial goals through real estate investing.
Best of all, Vena is a real-life investor who explains exactly, step-by-step, how to make money in real estate. At our August meeting, she’s going to tell us how she puts a property under contract each week and then sells the CONTRACT for a $5-$10K profit without ever buying the property—and how you can, too.
The meeting is at the usual location, Atlanta Unity located at 3597 Parkway Lane in Norcross, GA at 5:00 pm. We’ll see you there!
BTW, Vena is also joining us for an all-day workshop on Saturday, August 8th where she’ll teach us all about Wholesaling Business & Marketing. It’s just $29.95 for Gold Members and $39.95 for Silver Members to attend; space will run out fast! Register right now by calling (678) 701-7160 or online at https://atlantareia.com/?p=27947.
Learn to Do More Deals and Earn More by Working Less

Do More Deals by Working Less!
with Frank Iglesias
July 27th, 6:30PM, Cherokee Cattle Company
2710 Canton Rd, Marietta, GA
Atlanta REIA Members Please RSVP on Meetup.com
if you have a meetup account.
This month we have a very special treat for you! Whether you are new to real estate, getting back in, or building your business and working more than you’d like to, you NEED to be at this month’s Wild West Event! Our guest speaker Frank Iglesias is the real deal. He’s currently running a very successful real estate business, and he’s built it so that it doesn’t suck up all his time! As a result, he’s able to enjoy the lifestyle that most real estate investors only dream about. How? By effectively leveraging his time!
Join us at the Wild West Event on Monday July 27 at the Cherokee Cattle Company located at 2710 Canton Rd in Marietta, as Frank shares with us his secrets on how he was able to grow his business, make more ca$h, do more deals, and buy more houses by using VA’s! If you have been around real estate for any length of time, you’ve probably heard about Virtual Assistants, or “VAs” for short. Sounds sexy, but how can you use them effectively? Recently, Frank gave a talk and asked the audience what came to their minds when he said the term ‘Virtual Assistant’. The answers were, like almost any other time he’s asked: 1) International, 2) Cheap, 3) Hard to Understand, 4) Do busy work tasks. No wonder more people don’t leverage this awesome opportunity to its capacity–the mindset is not one for success before the relationship even begins!
Join us at the Wild West on Monday July 27, when Frank will break this mold by discussing several key points, including:
- Are VAs your team membersor are they just doing tasks?
- Hiring and training VAs to make decisions for you
- How VAs fit into the 80/20 rule, when leveraged properly, so you get your time back
Reality is, running a business does take some work, but it does not have to be overly complicated, time consuming or difficult. It does, however, require preparation, planning and ultimately, systems. It won’t happen until you first decide to Stop Doing It All Yourself.
What you will learn: Frank will cover a lot of ground on how VAs play a vital part of his thriving real estate business, including:
- Scaling your business using VAs
- Differences between local and virtual help
- Unleashing the right VAs to run your day to day for you so you can focus on growth
- The principals his team uses to look at over 100 deals every single week and cherry pick what makes sense
- And Much, Much, More!
Bottom line, it’s competitive out there with the market picking up speed and more investors vying for the same deals. To make more money at a faster pace requires efficiency and speed. Having the right team in place is critical to achieving this successfully. Having just one helping hand daily can make a huge impact on your growth. VAs can help you accomplish this with greatly reduced costs, if done properly. So mark your calendars now and get ready for an action packed evening at the Wild West Event on Monday July 27! Bring your questions and take lots of notes so you too can Stop Doing It All Yourself! See you there!
WIN A COMPLEMENTARY CARIBBEAN VACATION FOR TWO!: All participants who attend the Atlatna REIA West Meeting will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a *Complimentary Caribbean Vacation for TWO and other great door prizes! *You must be present at the meeting to win. The Caribbean vacation does not include transportation, taxes, upgrades, etc.

Creative Financing Solutions for Your Real Estate Business at EPIC
Posted on July 23, 2015 bywith Special Guest, Robert Mulcahy
July 28th, 6:30PM, Green Ginger Asian Fusion
200 Market Place Connector, Peachtree City, GA
Atlanta REIA Members Please RSVP on Meetup.com
if you have a meetup account.
You are all in for a special treat this month at the Peachtree City EPIC Group. Robert Mulcahy is going to be our guest speaker and will be teaching us about creative financing solutions for today’s real estate investors. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 28th at 6:30PM at the Green Ginger Asian Fusion Restaurant located at 200 Market Place Connector in Peachtree City, GA. This will be a great opportunity for you to network with other like-minded investors and to create a relationship with a company who can assist you with your financing needs.
In 2013, approximately 14.9 million single family homes were occupied by renters, which is a 26% increase since before the market crash in 2006. Of all the rental inventory, 53% are 1-4 unit properties. With a 2% decrease in overall home ownership, that creates an additional 2.5 million renters. (Source: National Multifamily Housing Council & U.S. Census Bureau. Updated 9/2014) With these statistics, it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that now is a great time to stock up on rental properties, but more properties means more cash needed to buy them.
Robert Mulcahy with Angel Oak Prime Bridge, LLC will show you the solutions to those financial problems. He will show you…
- How best to use leverage & financing to increase your investment business
- How to understand and access financing
- An overview of new lending programs available specifically for investors
- How to finance up to 25 properties at a time
- Programs that use the property income to qualifyand not your personal incom
- How to pull cash out of properties
- And so much more!
If you are involved in any type of real estate transaction needing funding, you won’t want to miss connecting with Robert and his company. He has the ability to give you the freedom you need to purchase as many properties as you desire. Some highlights of investor loan programs available are:
- No minimum down payment (Borrow up to 100% of the total project costs, subject to 65% of the After Repaired Value)
- Landlord program – Convert renovation loans to permanent 30 year mortgages using the appraised value (With no seasoning on the appraised value)
- Loans for renovation and new construction
- Straight purchase or renovation loans
- Cash out loans
- Loans in the name of businesses
- Works with all credit scenarios
- Loans to foreign nationals
Come on out on Tuesday, July 28th. You are sure to meet some great individuals and make lasting connections that will help propel your business in the right direction. We look forward to seeing you there!

Learn How to Use Private Money to Fund Your Deals at BIG on July 20, 2015

Access to money is a key component in the success of a real estate investor. The more access you have, the more opportunities that will be available to you. Come out this month to the Beginning Investors Group (BIG), 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, July 20th at 6:30PM at Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs.
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. They operate multiple businesses and they do everything together.
See you at the meeting!

The market is hot! But you probably already know, or have heard this. What does this mean for wholesalers?
Be excited but also be CAREFUL!!!
There are a lot of deals to be had however, hot does not always mean profitable. And it certainly does not mean that if you wholesale it, your buyer will win when they are done.
The LAST thing you want is for a buyer to not want to do business with you again because you sold them a dud. Yes, they must do their own due diligence, but so should you and do it well.
In this meeting, we will dive into numbers, numbers and more numbers of real deals that make sense for Wholesalers AND Buyers. The ARV still matters in this market!
We will dig into the following items:
- Contractor labor costs
- What kind of due diligence you should be doing in various parts of town.
- The numbers almost every single wholesaler does not take into account on new construction deals.
- How to present your Buyers solid numbers because you did your due diligence so that both sides see the big picture…
- And much, much more!
And when you are armed with numbers, you disarm the hype allowing for solid decisions to be made. Lastly, you keep your Buyers out of bad deals to the best of your ability which is key for repeat business!
Come join us as we talk numbers, ARV, and put the hype at bay by focusing on the numbers. The best money made is the confidence of a Buyer who believes in you and then gives you repeat business.
See you there!
