Underwater HomeIn a recent article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Sunday, April 13th by Arielle Kass entitled “More Than 40% of Georgia Homes Underwater”, she quotes…

“In an arc that stretches from Cartersville to McDonough to Winder, dozens of metro Atlanta neighborhoods are drowning. There’s not another metro area in the United States with as many concentrated pockets of mortgage holders who are underwater on their loans. No place else comes close.”

She goes on to say “The biggest losers, of course, are individual homeowners”… “When a home is underwater, it makes the homeowner feel poorer. It means that people are less mobile, less likely to move for new jobs or better schools. When they are unable to move, underwater homeowners stall the rest of the market. That limits the options for people who want to buy their first house, or those who are shopping for a bigger house.” Read the full article here >>

Despite this gloomy news and this serious problem that many Georgia homeowners now face, there is a very practical solution to save these drowning homeowners…

On Saturday, April 27th at 8 AM at the Crowne Plaza Atlanta-Airport located 1325 Virginia Ave in Atlanta, GA, Ron LeGrand will be having a full day workshop with Atlanta REIA and Jay Conner where he will reveal a brand new strategy to help rescue drowning homeowners from these underwater homes.

It’s Hot! It’s New! It’s Very Profitable & Can Make You a Lot of Money Very Quickly By Helping These Underwater Homeowners!

Method Number Two: Direct Mail Campaigns

This can be a full marketing machine all in one if you do nothing else. Not only does it work well for many people, but also the list of targets is so big you can target your chosen prospects and never run out of mailing campaigns. Even though signs work well, the best target you can hope for is an area you like. With direct mail, you can use a rifle approach.

  1. Pre-Foreclosures are a goldmine if worked correctly. This is a whole business within the business that’s worth the time and expense to learn.
  2. Out-of-town owners almost always work. The list is easy to get from a Realtor or your local record office. This is one Kathy specializes in (with a 12% response rate if I remember correctly). Be sure to mention the property address in the letter and include a response card to make it easy for them to reach you without calling. Some people simply WON’T call. You must call them!
  3. New Homeowners who’ve been in the house less than two years. I’ve heard over 70% of the foreclosures occurs within the first two years of ownership and a large percentage of those occur in the first year. Any broker can get you the list. You’re looking for pretty houses so you can get the deed!
  4. Vacant Ugly Houses.
  5. Target Zip codes you want to buy in. Just pick an area, rent the list of homeowners from a list broker and mail a postcard. Read More→

We should start with defining what a pretty house really is. It’s not the price that makes the definition. The house could be high-priced, but most people in the pretty house business work in a range from $70-$200,000. If you’re in a high-priced market such as San Francisco where a $200,000 house is rare, your range will be higher.

The point is, pretty houses start at the bottom end and go up. It’s not just expensive houses. My definition of a pretty house is any house requiring less than $5,000 in work to get it in a good, saleable condition. An ugly house is one that needs a rehab or a lot of repairs.

I’d want you to work both sides of the business and become a transaction engineer who can recognize a deal when you see it, whether it’s pretty or ugly. Don’t fall into the trap of trying to get so specialized that you turn your back on lots of other profits. There’s gold in both the ugly and the pretty house business. Besides… Read More→

The Five Critical Steps to Success

Posted on January 1, 2013 by

Ron LeGrandThere’s a lot of ways to make a million bucks, but most involve some kind of business, and that business must have the potential to achieve a high income, or all one has is a low paying job he/she happens to own.  We all have a choice.  So, why not choose a business that can make you rich?

I know a dentist who spent $400,000 on two sandwich shops which his family runs and can barely break even.  There’s no way to sell because there are hundreds on the market and a business making no money isn’t worth much, especially when it has no upside potential.  He’s headed for a $400,000 seminar, but hey, we all take them and look how much smarter he’ll be the next time.

In 1982, I was bankrupt broke, working as a mechanic, 35 years old and clueless.  I got into a heated argument with my wife over a washing machine.  She wanted a new one and I wanted to fix the old one because I didn’t have the $150 to spend.

That night, there was no sleep.  All I could think about was how big of an “a—hole” I was for arguing with a mother of four whom I’d already been married to for 17 years because she wanted to wash clothes for her family.  The next day, I started looking for a way out.  I didn’t want to live like this for the rest of my life.  There had to be something I could do to make a better living.

My way out was real estate.  I started reading books and attended a seminar to get me started.  Greed and hunger took over from there.  Before I knew it I’d bought and sold several hundred houses without using my money or credit, and still do it today, over 2,000 now.

I tripled my income easily the first year, and it continued to climb for years thereafter until I started creating courses on what I know, and selling them in 1987.  Then my income tripled again.

Today, my company continues to market information products to real estate investors and those who want to triple their income on the internet or learn how to start and grow any business.  Since that has become my chosen field and hundreds of thousands have gone through our training, it puts me in a good position to see what people do right and what they do wrong.

One lesson I learned the hard way has become my credo: Read More→

Foreclosure & Short Sale Group
with Bob Massey

Bob MasseyOn 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! He is going to be going over the details of a $875,000 short sale he just closed that most investors would have abandoned months ago. 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.

Win a FREE 2013 Mercedes from Robyn Thompson!!!

2013 Mercedes Benz

Robyn Thompson Wants You To Be A Multi Millionaire or At Least Drive Like One!!

Dear Real Estate Investor,

Robyn ThompsonMy good friend, Robyn Thompson, wants you to be a multi millionaire or at least drive like one! In fact, she is giving away a brand new 2013 Mercedes Benz at her Fifth Annual Millionaire Mastermind Convention on October 25th – 28th, 2012 in Tampa, FL and you could be the lucky winner for ABSOLUTELY FREE!

This gorgeous state of the art fully loaded car will be a 2013 Jet Black Mercedes C Class. You could be driving home this sweet ride after the event in October 2012!

Let me make myself clear for all of you that are in shock. Yes, Robyn is paying the sticker price for the car plus all the sales tax and fees. Let me remind you, this is not a lease. The winner will own it outright with no payments. All the lucky winner will need to do is to get their own car insurance.

So what’s the catch, you may be asking? Nothing except you must be present at Robyn’s Fifth Annual Millionaire Mastermind Convention at the Hilton Tampa West Shore in Tampa, FL on October 25th- 28th to win. We are announcing this event now, well in advance of the October date, because this event will be sold out long before it happens, especially since Robyn is offering Atlanta REIA Members a limited number of FREE Tickets and VIP Tickets for only $250 each.

Register Now!

As if the car was not enough of an incentive to get you to attend event with many of your fellow Atlanta REIA, Tampa REIA and Savannah REIA members, the education presented at his convention will be top notch. Here is just a partial list of the topics… Read More→
