Housing BubbleMost folks agree that the real estate bubble popped in June 2006.  Can you believe that was more than five years ago?  Sadly, property values are still falling.  Well, so much for all that “Hope and Change” and “Government is the Answer” nonsense. 

 The way real estate investors do business today looks N-O-T-H-I-N-G like it did back before the real estate market collapsed.  We’ve all learned a lot of life-changing lessons during this downturn.  It’s important that we recognize and remember these lessons. Read More→

Mobile Home ParkLonnie Deals are among our favorite – and most profitable – creative real estate investing deal structures.  What’s a Lonnie Deal?  It’s when you buy a mobile home in a mobile home park for cash and then resell it with owner financing.   Lonnie Scruggs invented this technique, and that’s how it got its name. 

Lonnie got into real estate investing in 1971 at age 41.  He mainly bought single-family homes and rented them out.  In 1986, because he was tired of being a landlord, Lonnie decided to get into the note business.  Problem was, it was hard finding good notes to buy. Read More→

We Buy Ugly TrailersAt our March real estate investors’ meeting, I described a mobile home in a park that we had for sale. Mouths dropped open as I showed nasty pictures of the disgusting property.

How bad was it? The home was full of dog poop. The toilet bowl was so bad that a commercial-grade sandblaster couldn’t clean it. There were gaping holes where the furnace and water heater used to be. The smell made you gag and caused your eyes to water. It was plain awful!

I asked the room full of experienced real estate investors whether anyone wanted to make an offer on this cesspool of an investment property. Heads turned away and eyes were diverted.

In the back of the room, Alex Kramb, a fifteen-year-old student at Blessed Trinity High School, stood up and said, “Mr. Cook, I’ll pay you $100 for that mobile home.” I was dumbfounded. As I pointed to the screen, I asked, “Alex, you’ll pay me $100 for THAT hunk-of-junk?” He quickly answered, “Yes, sir!”

Alex proudly walked up front. We wrote up a bill of sale, I collected $100 cash money and then handed Alex the keys. With that, Alex Kramb, at 15, bought his first investment property. Investors looked on in amazement…then cheers broke out in the room! Read More→

Happy New Year Everyone! Wow, what a great New Year Meeting and VIP Party we had on Monday. It was definitely our BIGGEST & BEST meeting yet!

Our first Haves and Wants Speed Marketing Session was a huge success! Guests and members alike really enjoyed taking the stage and telling our group all about their deals for sales, their businesses and any other haves and wants they had. Thank you Joe Thompson for hosting the session and all of those of you who participated. We will be posting the video of the Haves and Wants Speed Marketing Session on the website later this week.

Atlanta REIA Main MeetingWow, our November 1st Atlanta REIA Meeting was our biggest and best yet! A lot of new friends and old ones turned out last night to hear Dyches Boddiford speak on creative financing techniques for many your potential real estate investment deals. Including Dyches, there were five Georgia Real Estate Investors Association (GaREIA) past Presidents in attendance including Debby Henning, Steve Jordan, Jeff Nix and Don Derosa. If Gordan Catts had been in attendance, there would have been six! Atlanta REIA truly appreciates all of the support that GaREIA leaders and members, past and present, have been showing our new REIA group. Thank you everyone who attended our November Atlanta REIA Main Meeting and became Atlanta REIA Charter Members!

I must admit, hearing Dyches speak last night was like drinking water from a fire hose. Though what he teaches is more advanced and caters more to seasoned investors, he offered exactly what our group needed to hear in our troubled economic times. Simple investing and financing techniques for the  new investor and much more creative, outside-of-the-box, investing and financing strategies for the seasoned investor that are capable of generating large sums of equity and cash flow today and in the near future. Not only did I learn a few new things from Dyches, but he also reminded me of a few techniques that I had long forgotten that are totally applicable to today’s economy and real estate market.
