Framing for the new addition is now done and the mechanical systems, HVAC, electrical and plumbing have been “roughed in”. If you were present at the previous meetings at this house, you will be amazed at the transformation. We are close to the finished product now. If you did not see the house before, come and hear about what we have done and where we are going with the project.

Learn to Run Your Real Estate Like a Business and Not a Hobby
Posted on February 10, 2015 byDo You Run Your Real Estate Like a Hobby or a Business?
with Frank Iglesias on February 18th
Is Real Estate Investing your “Hobby” or is it your “Business”? For many investors their business model looks more like a hobby then a business. They find a deal, go through the process of fixing it, marketing it and selling it. They take some time off and then repeat the process. They start at ground zero on each transaction and have to build up momentum each time they do this. It’s not efficient. There is a better way and Frank Iglesias will be discussing how to create a more efficient model at the Atlanta REIA North Meeting on Wednesday, February 18th from 6:30PM to 9:00PM at 1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Suite D, Buford, Georgia.
Here’s a little of what Frank will discuss at the meeting:
- Determining your business model
- Handling the misconceptions about real estate automation, virtual assistants and time and effort involved
- Laying a foundation for your business for the long haul
- Developing a Strategy to Implement your Plan
- Determining Assets to implement your plan
- Identifying others who can help
- Automating your processes
- And much, much more!
Frank is one of the Founders and Managing Partners of Working With Houses, LLC, an Atlanta area Real Estate Investment Company that primarily works in the residential renovation industry, repairing and updating properties to bring value back to neighborhoods that have been devalued by the recent housing crisis. Frank has been involved in this industry for the last four years in which tremendous change has brought much volatility. He has been able to adapt with the times and to grow his business despite the ongoing changes. He looks forward to helping you along your path to real estate investing success as so many others have already helped him along his way.
In addition to renovating properties, Frank has also had much success in the wholesale and landlord aspects of Real Estate providing him and his team a broad spectrum of expertise as they encounter an endless variety of situations to assist with. With a background in Education and Information Technology, Frank helping other real estate investors with their investing needs and continues to do so daily.
Frank is happily married to his wife Jenni and they have two children who have enjoyed the benefits Real Estate brings to the opportunistic individuals who seek freedom with their time. As a result, he has also created a product called the 80/20 VA Office to bring the 80/20 rule to be a reality in one’s life.

When it comes to creative deal structuring and funding, Bill is among the best, most experienced investors in the country.

If you haven’t had the success you want in real estate and think you just don’t have enough time, this is one event NOT TO MISS!
You will learn:

- And Much, Much More…
Before our main presentation, bring us your deals and let’s see how we can make several creative structures for maximum profit! Led By Russ Hiner.
Regina bought her first investment property right out of college in 2002. She has bought and sold real estate in upstate NY as well as the Atlanta area. In the past 2 years she has wholesaled 20+ deals and is involved with other projects as well. She has three lovely daughters ages 16, 10 and 3, and a day-job as an occupational therapist. Her goal is to continue wholesaling and rehabbing with long term plans to buy and hold. She enjoys teaching other new investors how to be successful with wholesaling
