Atlanta REIA Meeting on Feb 4, 2013

Posted on February 1, 2013 by
Mon, February 4th at 5:30 PM @ Crowne Plaza Ravinia, Atlanta
Atlanta REIA Main Meeting
with Bill Cook on
“How to Earn Mail Box Money”
at the Crowne Plaza Ravinia on February 4th
Atlanta REIA Members Can Attend at No Charge.
Guests Can RSVP Online Now for $15 or Pay $20 at the Door.

Bill CookAtlanta REIA is very excited to announce that local real estate investing expert and leader of North Georgia REIA, Bill Cook, will be speaking at our Atlanta REIA Main Meeting on February 4th at the Crowne Plaza Ravinia in Atlanta which starts at 5:30 PM.

Bill Cook and his wife Kim have been investing in real estate in Georgia for over 18 years. They own a fair number of single-family rental homes, they flip houses, plus they do a lot of note and option deals. But the one unique thing they do that gives them the highest yields on their investment dollars and jam packs their mailbox with money is their mobile home investments… that’s right, they buy ugly, used trailers!

For example, they buy a used mobile home in a mobile home park for around $3,000, do a quick clean up and fix up, then sell it for $9,000 with $500 down at 18% interest with payments of around $275 per month for around 4 years. The results of this simple deal are eye-popping! They quickly turn $3,000 into $12,000 while getting a yield of around 100%! Try matching these results with ANY other type of real estate investing vehicle. And here’s the best part, you don’t need a lot of money and there is very little competition!

Join us at our February meeting if you want to see real-world examples – including pictures and paperwork – of what Bill and Kim do to earn their mailbox money and how they do it! There is no fluff… it will be all meat and potatoes!

  • Why do Lonnie Deals?
  • What is a Lonnie Deal and how does it work?
  • How do you find the right mobile homes to buy?
  • Which mobile home deals should you avoid?
  • How to work with park owners?
  • How to find sellers?
  • How to buy a “trailer”?
  • How to sell a “mobile home”?
  • What to do if the buyer doesn’t pay you?
  • When is the best time to do Lonnie Deals?
  • Examples of real deals that Bill and Kim have done…
  • And much more!

Come spend the evening with Bill on February 4th and let him teach you how to earn all the mailbox money you can handle in 2013! Also, be sure to check out Bill’s two latest articles on mobile home investing:

  1. Which Type of Real Estate Investing Deal Has The Highest Yield?
  2. Are You An Eagle Or An Oyster?

Joe ThompsonWe’re kicking off 2013 with a bang at the Wild Wild West Group! Saddle up and hold on to your bootstraps, cause believe me, partner, you’re in for a real treat. Join us next Monday, January 28th at 7pm at The Cherokee Cattle Company as we host our special guest speaker, local successful businessman Joe Thompson. Joe is going to talk about New Year’s resolutions and goal setting. Are you gonna be one of the multitudes that throw in the towel, toss another one of your dreams to the wind, or you gonna COWBOY UP and ride that buckin’ bronco to the finish? Are you ridin’ that bull…or just talking some bull? What if you only had to hold on 8 more seconds to win the prize? Could you ride it out…or will you jump off, full of self-doubt, fear, and lack of focus?

Joe holds on and STICKS WITH IT. Yeah, he gets bruised up a bit along the way (all cowboys do!), yet he is walking tall and focused. My daddy always said, if a horse bucks you off, you gotta get right back on. Horses can sense fear a mile away, and so can goals and resolutions. Come learn to lasso yours in and get control of them by “knowin’ where you’re goin’”. It’s a new year, and a new beginning. Joe will show us how we can all set some realistic, easily achievable goals to make 2013 our most successful and profitable year ever. Come learn what SERIOUS goal setting can do for you and your business!

Round up your posse, mosey on over, and we’ll see you there. Doors open at 6:30, program starts at 7pm. And don’t forget Late Nite Networking in the Saloon after the meeting, where you can talk with Joe and network with all the partners. Members attend FREE, and guests are just $5 at the door. Yeeeehaaaaaaa! Remember, you’re either making dust or eating it, so COWBOY UP! Read More→

  • Evictions
  • Tenant property damage

If you answered “Yes” to any of these issues, be sure to attend the Atlanta REIA Meeting on November 5th and be part of the discussion! David will answer questions, brainstorm problems and force you to think about your rental business in new ways. He will share ideas about how to increase income, decrease expenses and generate more free time.

Here’s what a few local real estate experts have to say about David Tilney…

“If you are going to be successful in real estate investing, you need to have good landlording skills. David Tilney has the best landlording system around and is well worth learning, if you are a serious investor.” – Dyches Boddiford

David is a wonderful teacher… a real been-there-and-done-that landlording guy. He teaches like no one else. His ideas are unique. David will help you become a better, smarter, more successful landlord.” – Bill Cook
