Learn How To Do Real Estate Deals Without Going To The Bank At The Beginning Investors Group on Feb 17, 2014
Posted on February 5, 2014 bywith Special Guest, Bill Ham
All Members & Guests Must RSVP Online to Attend
Members Attend for FREE and Guests for $15 Online or Pay $20 at the Door.
Guests can Join Atlanta REIA for Only $100/year and Attend for FREE!
Come join us at BIG on Monday, February 17th at 6:00PM at Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs, where former corporate pilot and regular contributor to Atlanta REIA’s Profit Newsletter, Bill Ham, will show you how to get your first deal (and lots more) without having to qualify for a loan from a bank. He will teach you how to build a portfolio of cash flowing properties even if you have bad credit, no credit or you have never even done a deal.
Bill has been investing with real estate for eight years now. He started with one duplex and no cash. Bill then created a portfolio of hundreds units from single family deals up to large commercial apartment complexes and everything in between. To this day, Bill has never walked into a bank and qualified for a loan, put money down, and purchased a real estate investment. He has lots of bank loans, but all of them came from refinancing after taking control of the property with some form of creative financing.
“I didn’t start with a ton of cash. I was twenty-eight years old when I quit my career-building job as a corporate pilot. I didn’t have a life savings. I didn’t have lots of connections from the business world. I wasn’t able to go to all of my wealthy investors and have them fund my deals. I survived by perfecting the art of creative financing, by mastering the art of Creative Financing. Now I have seven employees, my own management company, and hundreds of units.I survived because the art of helping people solve their problems is a very lucrative business. This is the core of what I teach. In all my material, that is the one concept I will repeat over and over”!
You will learn:
- Techniques to create single or multi-family portfolios without using banks
- Learn what Lease Options and Debt Partners are and how they are used in creative financing.
- What Master Lease Options are(MLO).
- How and When to use Seller Financing
- How To Negotiate Creatively

Learn Effective Public Speaking & Communication Skills at the All Inclusive Marketing Group on February 10th

For Business Leaders
with Special Guest, Ariel Ghing
The all new Atlanta REIA All Inclusive Marketing (AIM) Group (formerly the “I Love Marketing” group) meets on Monday, February 10th at 7:00 PM at La Madeleine located at 1165 Perimeter Center West, Atlanta, GA. We are very excited about this meeting and our guest speaker and star maker, Ariel Ghinga, who will be talking about how to use “Public Speaking” to help grow your small business.
You may be thinking that public speaking is not for you and that there is no way anyone could drag you on to any stage to speak. Well, whether you realize it or not, any time you speak in public, regardless of the number of people in the audience, it is public speaking. Your communication skills are perhaps one of the single most significant skills you can acquire that will help you soar to the top of your chosen profession. You can use these skills regardless of whether you are speaking with one person, such as buyers, sellers and customers, or to thousands of people.
Ariel Ghinga is a skilled public speaking coach who has helped many professionals and entrepreneurs grow their businesses through his time-tested and proven public presentation techniques. His breakthrough programs on public speaking and leadership have enabled participants to soar to financial heights using his advanced immersion methodologies on communicating effectively.
Come join us at AIM on Monday, February 10th to learn how you can sharpen your speaking and communication skills. This is a rare opportunity you don’t want to miss!

“Mr. E” moved to the Atlanta area just 3 months ago and is already doing 2-3 deals consistently in the Atlanta market right now. He is not a known speaker or superstar. He isn’t in the spotlight. Yet he is quietly cranking out successful deal after deal and making things happen!
Tony Robbins says, “If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved the results you want and copy what they do and you’ll achieve the same results.” This is the guy you want to copy!
We’re pulling back the curtain to have a rare look inside “Mr. E.’s” business and daily life–no fluff, no theory, no pie-in-the-sky promises–just real info form a real-life mover and shaker. He has promised to be candid with us and answer questions like:
Come out and discover what it is you want and need to know to make 2014 your year of prosperity and success! Come early, as seating is limited!
- What are the biggest keys to his success?
- What does he know and do differently than most people to produce great results? (isn’t that what we ALL want–results?)
- What does his daily life and business look like?
- What kind of deals is he doing to achieve great results?
- What is his average profit per deal?
- How does he find and finance his deals?
- What sets him apart from the crowd?
- What do you want to ask him?
After the conclusion of our Wild Wild West Investors Meeting, we will be hanging out in the meeting room at the Cherokee Cattle Company for “Late Nite Networking”. CCC will be offering the best desserts in the area and awesome libations from their full bar for our members and guests. Come eat, drink, network and have fun with like minded real estate investors and other professionals late into the night!
