CamFind App Review: Use it or Lose it?
Posted on October 20, 2015 by“One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man.” ~ Elbert Hubbard
Camfind is a new app that makes some big promises. It claims to be able to identify literally anything just by snapping a picture. I was quite skeptical since my past experience with Google Goggles left me hoping for more accuracy. But from object to QR codes, Camfind is far better than Google’s long forgotten product.
I used Google Goggles way back in 2010, but it has never been updated, so I haven’t touched it since. But I was intrigued by Camfind just because of the application to real estate needs. It could be a great way to identify a specific style of house, if you are looking to replace hardware in the home, perhaps a specific door knob, this has the potential to be very useful in this field.

Got Needles In Your Haystack? Search Like An Expert
Posted on September 16, 2015 by“With Google I’m starting to burn out on knowing the answer to everything. People in the year 2020 are going to be nostalgic for the sensation of feeling clueless.”
~ Douglas Coupland
Go to your computer right now and Google “real estate.” Go ahead, I dare you. Care to guess how many results you’ll get? Well, I just tried it, and I got 1.1 billion results. That’s billion with a b. Talk about information overload!
You’re pretty sophisticated, though, so you know not to try that kind of a mushy search. And you already know that you can search specifically for images and videos. You also realize that Google is pretty good at guessing what you’re looking for, and it will usually put those results first. But not always: If you search for “bronco,” Google won’t know whether to give you information about cars, football, or rodeos.
Luckily, you can tweak your searches to be surprisingly precise, if you know how. Here are some tricks for searching on Google that I’ve found useful. I’m concentrating on Google because it’s so popular, but some of these will work in other search engines, too. Read More→

- Mistakes to avoid in order to earn passive income that is consistent and dependable

Don DeRosa 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 furiously 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 in today’s market where easy funding is not readily available for investors to buy pretty houses.
Join us on Monday, August 17th at 6:30PM at the Atlanta REIA Beginning Investors Group Meeting at Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs and Don will share with you, many of the subject-to strategies, tools and techniques he uses every day to create winning deals for himself as well as his buyers and sellers.
Don will walk you through real world, actual deals, step-by-step to demonstrate how to apply these strategies, tools and techniques. In fact, you can bring your deals, and he’ll show you exactly 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 2015
- 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 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!
Don’t miss out on learning about this great investing strategy you can use to get your real estate business up and going!
We are looking forward to seeing you at the meeting!

Posted on August 1, 2015 by“The secret to multitasking is that it isn’t actually multitasking. It’s just extreme focus and organization.” ~ Joss Whedon
Have you ever watched a really good store manager while she works? It’s incredible! She can handle two or three customers at once, answer the phone three times while she’s at it, and approve a couple check transactions at the same time. And when you compliment her on her talent, she just shrugs and says, “I’m a multitasker.”
A few years ago, businesses were all about multitasking. Employers wanted people who could multitask. With life moving faster all the time, all of us have learned to do it to some extent. But experts now believe that multitasking isn’t really all that productive or efficient. For a lot of us, multitasking just means we do a bunch of things at once, but we don’t do any of them very well. I don’t know about you, but I’ll never be able to do what that store manager does.
So it turns out that it’s better to focus on one thing at a time. But this doesn’t fit too well with modern life. Between home, work, school, church, and hockey, it’s a wonder we ever get anything done at all.
Luckily, I don’t have to multitask anymore, because my cellphone does it for me. I can hardly remember anymore what life was like before I had an iPhone. I used to say that having a cellphone was a good idea, but not an absolute necessity. Well, it’s sure a necessity now. Read More→

Access to money is a key component in the success of a real estate investor. The more access you have, the more opportunities that will be available to you. Come out this month to the Beginning Investors Group (BIG), where we are excited to have our good friends Mark and Anne Lackey as our special guest speakers. The Lackeys have raised close to a million dollars using a proven method that they will share with us. The meeting will take place on Monday, July 20th at 6:30PM at Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs.
Finding private money is a huge challenge for many investors. Banks are generally not too helpful to investors, especially full-time investors who don’t have high earning full time J-O-Bs. Many sellers want cash, which leaves you, the investor, stuck trying to make deals work without access to the funds. By implementing the steps that the Lackey’s will teach you, your business will be able to take off to new heights!
Mark and Anne will show you…
- 5 ways to fund your deals without using your own cash or credit
- How to find private money lenders
- A proven strategy to ask for the funds you need for your deals
- An overview of all the necessary paperwork you will need
Come prepared to roll up your sleeves and start working on your private money pitch. This will be great meeting where you will gain confidence in your ability to find and secure private funds. Don’t miss it!
Mark and Anne Lackey are well known around Atlanta and across the nation as Real Estate Investors, Authors, Speakers and Educators as well as REALTORs. They coach and train hundreds of US and Canadians to a successful real estate career. Mark and Anne have written multiple Best Selling books and developed multiple Educational Programs and systems for many areas of Real Estate Investing.
Today, Mark and Anne control and manage over $3M in passive income producing residential properties, (aka rentals) in their own portfolio, and manage $23M of income producing properties for other investors. Each year they find, fix-up and flip multiple properties for profit and have transacted over $35M in real estate over the past 5 years alone. They operate multiple businesses and they do everything together.
See you at the meeting!
