After the conclusion of the Atlanta REIA North Meeting (after 9:30 PM), we will be reconvening at the Mall of Georgia located at 3250 Woodward Crossing Blvd in Buford, GA for the “Meeting after the Meeting”. We may arrive late if the Atlanta REIA Meeting runs late. So please come eat, drink, network and have fun with us as hang out late into the night!

Join us on Monday, March 4th at 5:30PM at the Atlanta REIA Main Monthly Meeting where real estate expert Don DeRosa will share with you, many of the “New Subject-To” strategies, tools and techniques he uses every day to create winning deals for himself as well as his buyers and sellers. Don 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 feverishly 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 for buying and holding pretty houses in today’s market where easy funding is not readily available for real estate investors.

Don will walk you through real deals, step-by-step to demonstrate 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 2013
• 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 are 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!

And is this is not enough, Don will be back with us on March 23rd & 24th for a two day boot camp called “Making a Fortune Buying Houses with No Money and No Credit” to really drive these points home and give you all the subject-to details you need to succeed in real estate investing. Once you are armed with Don’s training and the tools, you will be able to make this your best year ever!

The Atlanta Metro Area has gone from a buyer’s market to a seller’s market. The market has changed substantially in the last 6-12 months. Hedge Funds are stepping all over each other purchasing foreclosures and are running up the prices. The “courthouse gang” is now being routinely out bid by kids with a cell phone and an iPad who are receiving their bidding instructions from people we never see, who are sitting in front of multiple computer screens hundreds or thousands of miles away from the fray. Listed REO’s are selling above list price. When a new listing hits the market, within 24 hours there are multiple offers and the house is put under contract. With all this excitement going on it’s time to examine other strategies.

Please join us for the “Meeting-Before-The-Meeting” on Monday, March 4th at 3:00 PM at Total Wine & More located at 124 Perimeter Center W (see map), where your host Gordon Catts will be joined by Jim Hitt to discuss this important topic. Together Jim and Gordon bring years of valuable insight to this topic. Join us and bring your own questions, concerns, answers and insights. At 5:00 PM, Total Wine & More will be offering a complimentary wine tasting to all those who attend our meeting and wish to participate. There is NO CHARGE to attend this meeting or the wine tasting for Atlanta REIA Members and guests. Thanks Total Wine & More!

After the conclusion of the Main Meeting, we will be reconvening at the Tilted Kilt Perimeter located at 1155-B Mount Vernon Highway in Atlanta for the “Meeting after the Meeting”. The Tilted Kilt will be offering half price appetizers as well as food and drink specials for our members and guests. Come eat, drink, network and have fun with us as hang out late into the night! Thanks Tilted Kilt Perimeter!

Hi there, Partners!  Yee-haw, I just have to share with you an absolutely fabulous opportunity we have coming up for you next Monday at Wild Wild West subgroup of Atlanta REIA.  Our guest speaker has over ten years experience as a real estate investor, consultant, mentor, and coach.  He has done phenomenally well in the business, has a servants heart, and a winning attitude.  I call him “The King of Marketing”, because he has extraordinary talents in marketing, which he uses very effectively to build and run his real estate business (can you say “Empire”?!!).  

Come join us on Monday, February 25th at 6:30 pm at the The Cherokee Cattle Company as Rock Shukoor shares with us how he finds CA$H buyers for his real estate deals.  Rock wholesales a lot of properties consistently, and in order for him to do this, he has to have the cash buyers to wholesale them to, right?  Come get a rare inside peek at Rock’s business, one of the most successful real estate investing businesses I know of.  Rock will show us just how he goes about getting these cash buyers to come out of the woodwork and raise their hands to say, “Yes, I want those houses!”  Duplicate his methods and get cash rolling in to your bank account ASAP!  

If you want more CA$H coming to you in 2013, it just makes great good common cowboy sense to be there Monday night, doesn’t it?  Mark your calendar now—Giddy-up on over and join the posse Monday night, February 25 at 6:30pm at the Cherokee Cattle Company in Marietta. See you there!  Until then, Happy Trails!

Like the Main Atlanta REIA Monthly Meeting, this subchapter will be led by Dustin Griffin and will focus on a wide variety of cutting edge real estate investing strategies with a special emphasis on Internet Marketing and Technology for the modern day “High Tech Investor”. The cost is $5.00 at the door for non-members.

(POSTPONED UNTIL MARCH 20TH) Immediately after the Atlanta REIA North Monthly Meeting at approximately 9 PM, we will reconvene at the Mall of Georgia Tilted Kilt located at 3480 Financial Center Pkwy in Buford, GA for the meeting-after-the-meeting, AKA Late Nite Networking.

Atlanta 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?

Please join us for the “Mobile Real Estate Rockstars Group” (Rockstars) hosted by Don DeRosa at our “Meeting-Before-The-Meeting” on Monday, February 4th at 3:00 PM at Total Wine & More located at 124 Perimeter Center W (see map). The Mobile Real Estate Rockstar Group is an educational and networking group for investors who want to leverage mobile technology to become more competitive, profitable investors. You’ll learn how to use the latest apps, tips and techniques to use the information they need, right now, at their fingertips, from anywhere. At 5:00 PM, Total Wine & More will be offering a complimentary wine tasting to all those who attend our meeting and wish to participate. There is NO CHARGE to attend this meeting or the wine tasting for Atlanta REIA Members and guests. Thanks Total Wine & More!

After the conclusion of the Main Meeting, we will be reconvening at the Tilted Kilt Perimeter located at 1155-B Mount Vernon Highway in Atlanta for the “Meeting after the Meeting”.

We’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.

On January 7th at 3 PM, Bob Massey will be having his quarterly meeting at Total Wine & More located at 124 Perimeter Center W (see map). Bob will be giving a presentation you don’t want to miss!

Instead of giving up, he modified his strategies and ended up making more than if everything had gone according to the original plan! He is also going to be discussing mortgage fraud, securitization issues, and foreclosures. The banks have been defrauding homeowners for years, and we now have a way to use that to fight back against the banks and do some pretty incredible deals while helping underwater homeowners across the country.

After the conclusion of the Main Meeting, we will be reconvening at the Tilted Kilt Perimeter located at 1155-B Mount Vernon Highway in Atlanta for our annual New Year’s Party. There will be FREE Food, networking and lots of fun! Come eat, drink, network, have fun and celebrate the New Year with us late into the night!

Dave will be talking about how to successfully invest in commercial real estate and make a fortune in today’s real estate market. Dave is not one of those real estate gurus who is all talk and no action. In fact, Dave currently owns over 7300 commercial units valued at over 200 million dollars and is still actively investing in real estate.

After the conclusion of the Main Meeting, we will be reconvening at the Tilted Kilt Perimeter located at 1155-B Mount Vernon Highway in Atlanta for our annual Christmas Party. There will be FREE Food, networking and lots of fun! Come eat, drink, network, have fun and celebrate the Christmas season with us as hang out late into the night!

*Please Note: Meeting agenda is subject to change.

Each and every month, for the duration of our meeting, we have a Vendor Trade Show in which you can come out and meet many of our participating business members who help sponsor our meeting. Thanks again sponsors!
