The Mobile Internet and Mobile Media Marketing are here to stay whether you are paying attention or not. By 2013, it is estimated that more people will be using their mobile devices (rather than PC’s) to access the internet due to the convenience and ever improving ease of use. Atlanta REIA is embracing this new technology and will help you do so as well. Now is the best time to start learning about this new technology and marketing medium so you can adapt your business and start using these tools to take advantage of the wave of new business you could be experiencing.

with Dyches Boddiford on August 27th
Whether you are a seasoned investor with a lot of houses, or just starting out, you don’t want to miss this chance to hear and meet Dyches Boddiford up close and personal on August 27th at 6:30 PM at the Atlanta REIA West Meeting being held at the Cherokee Cattle Company at 2710 Canton Road in Marietta, GA. Even if your credit is in the toilet and you have no assets, judgment proofing can be useful to you. Learn how to protect yourself from lawsuit predators. Protect yourself from crazy tenants who are looking to sue someone and make a quick buck. Or you rear end someone in traffic, automatically you are at fault… right. What if you never had to be worried about being sued? Well, anyone can sue anybody at any time… but the key is, they can’t collect one thin dime from your personal, family or corporate assets if you follow Dyches’ advice.
