Haves & Wants Speed Marketing Comes to Atlanta REIA Main Meeting Starting January 3rd!

Joe ThompsonAtlanta REIA has asked Joe Thompson of the weekly Have’s and Wants Meeting to host Atlanta REIA’s new Have’s and Wants Speed Marketing Session starting January 3rd at 5:30 PM at the Atlanta REIA Main Monthly Meeting. Our goal for this session is the same as at Joe’s Thursday meetings. Joe says “Were looking to aid our members who HAVE things they no longer wish to have as well as those members who WANT things they have been unable to find through their own networks. Our Mission is to increase our members networks and their ability to access the resources necessary to increase their business.” This session is all about making deals happen, so bring in your have’s and wants and share them with our live audience. It gets even better… we will be video recording the Speed Marketing Session and putting it on AtlantaREIA.com for 24/7 playback. This is a great way to spread the word about what you may have or want with our members, guests, friends and followers online and off. Come join us, bring your deal flyers and share your haves and wants and make deals happen!

Shooting Photos & Video, Uploading & Tagging on Facebook

Social Networking with FacebookBring your digital camera to the Atlanta REIA Meeting and Party and take lots of pictures and videos of you and your friends during the event. After the Speed Marketing Session, Dustin Griffin is going to show you how to upload pictures and videos to Facebook from your PC or cell phone and tag yourself and your friends if you don’t already know how. Using pictures and video is a great way to network and make friends in-person and to continue networking online long after the meeting and party is over.

Atlanta REIA Charter/Founding Member Status Ends in Jan 2011

We founded the Atlanta Real Estate Investors Alliance back in June of this year, had our first meeting on July 5th and have been getting stronger and stronger each and every month thanks to your help and support. Our Charter Membership Drive, which began on October 4th, will end on January 31st, 2011. This does not mean that you can’t still become an Atlanta REIA Member, it just means that you will not forever be classified as a “Charter” or “Founding Member” of the Atlanta Real Estate Investors Alliance. If you do choose to become an official Atlanta REIA Charter Member, it will be a designation and honor that you can put on your “resume” for many, many years to come. We will also be forever listing you on our website, as well as a plaque at our headquarters, as an official Atlanta REIA Founding Member of organization. This way, many years from now, you can look back and say I helped make Atlanta REIA the #1 real estate investor alliance in the South! Join Atlanta REIA Now! Again we thank you for your support!

Atlanta REIA South Monthly MeetingThe Atlanta REIA South Meetings are resuming once more starting tonight at 6:30 PM at Ryan’s Restaurant located at 5425 North Henry Blvd in Stockbridge, Georgia.

There will be Late Nite Networking afterwards around 9:00 PM at the Taco Mac in Stockbridge.

Reginald JacksonAtlanta REIA had originally teamed up with the SMART Group led by Marc Fordham to host Atlanta REIA South, but Marc canceled the past 3 meetings and all future meetings indefinitely due to personal time constraints. Because of this, Atlanta REIA South has found a new leader, by the name of Reggie Jackson, and will start meeting once more on the 2nd Thursday of the month at Ryan’s Restaurant in Stockbridge. We hope you will attend and show your support as re-launch this group!

Merry Christmas from Atlanta REIAWe at the Atlanta Real Estate Investors Alliance want to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

From 6 to 7 PM, I’ve asked several of our good friends, business members and fellow investors such as Jeff Nix, Mark Galey, Joe Thompson, Erven Kimble, Karen Bershad and a few others to address our group about what we have going on at Atlanta REIA and are planning in the near future.

David LindahlFrom 7 to 8:30 PM, our good friend, guru and very successful commercial real estate investor, David Lindahl, will be our main speaker for the evening and 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. Dave currently owns over 7200 commercial units and is still actively working the business. In fact, we did a short webcast with Dave yesterday, live from Huntsville, Alabama where he was overseeing some of his properties there. Click here to listen to the webcast with Dave. If you attend our December 6th Meeting, Dave has a special gift for you… FREE Tickets to his Wealth Conference on December 11th and 12th in Buckhead. This is an event you don’t want to miss!

David Lindahl - Commercial Real Estate EntrepreneurMany of our Atlanta REIA members and guests have been asking how to get started in commercial real estate because of their interest in purchasing office buildings, strip malls, apartments and the like. Because of these repeated requests, I have managed to convince  my good friend and commercial real estate expert David Lindahl to speak on the secrets of his success at our next Atlanta REIA Main Monthly Meeting on December 6th at the Doubletree Hotel in Roswell GA (map)!

Just so you know, David has rehabbed over 820 houses in just under 10 years and currently owns over 7,400 apartment units and has a wealth of information to share with you. David will be talking about…

 

  • How to own apartments and never have to deal with tenants
  • How to get paid three different ways by investing in multi family properties
  • How to hire the right management company to do all of the work for you
  • How to find properties that have the highest profit potential
  • How you can buy local real estate in the best areas of Atlanta and Georgia
  • Discover the low risk and high cash flow of multi-family investing
  • Learn about recession proof investing and attracting all the money you need to finance your deals

 

So mark your calendars and come join us at our December 6th Atlanta REIA Meeting to find out how to get started investing in commercial real estate. We are waiving the cover charge for the December meetings so you can attend for FREE and bring your friends, family and business associates.

Dyches BoddifordWe are very excited to have local real estate investing legend Dyches Boddiford will be speaking at our next Atlanta REIA Main Monthly Meeting on Nov 1st on the topic of “Investor Financing Techniques Using Sellers & Money Partners”. Many of you have been asking where you can get the money to fund your real estate deals in our troubled economy and credit market place. Now is your opportunity to learn first hand from one of the best… Atlanta’s own Dyches Boddiford. We are waiving the cover charge for this event, so you can attend our November Atlanta REIA Meeting for FREE and bring your friends, family and business associates.

Yesterday (Sept 9, 2010) I attended Joe Thompson’s weekly “Haves and Wants” Meeting for the first time at the suggestion of Gordon Catts and “Cash Flow” Tom Boyer. They had both told me what a great group this was for meeting players who are actively investing in real estate and doing deals and that is exactly what I found there.

The “Haves and Wants Meeting” is a weekly investor’s brainstorming and deal making jam session held at the 5 Seasons Brewing located at 5600 Roswell Rd inside the Perimeter at the “Prado” and it rocks! They meet EVERY Thursday (except major holidays) from 1:30 PM till approximately 3:00 PM. Joe Thompson is a professional financial adviser who has been leading the group for over 5 years and says “This group is not about real estate education and training. We’ll leave the training to REIA groups like yours. This group is all about doing deals and making money!” This may not be an exact quote from John, but it is close enough. His point was that his group is for players who are doing deals now.  So, if you’re looking to do deals with real players doing real deals right now, this is the group for you. And did I mention they meet in a brewery?!?! How sweet is that?!? The food and beer is great!
