Atlanta REIA Members Can Attend on Zoom Webinar
This event was not supposed to happen quite like this. We originally planned a full training on how to fix and flip and rehabs. Then something changed…
After a short session on artificial intelligence at the March Tampa REIA Meeting, people kept coming up and asking the same question… “Can you teach more of this?”
So we made a decision. We shifted the entire event.
The Saturday Workshop is now a full day, in-person, hands-on training focused on how AI is changing real estate investing right now!
PLEASE NOTE: Even though this event is being held live in Tampa, FL, Don will be broadcasting it live for our Atlanta REIA Members & Guests who wish to Register to Attend on Zoom Webinar.

What You Are About to See
There is a major shift happening in this business.
Some investors are starting to move faster than ever.
They are analyzing more deals.
They are making better offers.
They are getting to sellers before everyone else.
And most investors have no idea how.
This is not something coming in the future.
This is happening RIGHT NOW.
What This Training Will Show You
During this full day session, you will see a completely different way to run a real estate investing business.
You will learn how to:
- generate consistent seller opportunities
- approach conversations with confidence before you ever pick up the phone
- evaluate deals quickly and accurately
- structure offers based on real numbers
- move deals to buyers faster
And most importantly
How to turn your business into a system instead of a series of tasks.
Why This Matters
Most investors are still doing everything manually.
They write their own marketing
they analyze one deal at a time
they spend hours researching properties
The investors who understand how to operate differently are pulling ahead.
They are making faster decisions.
They are seeing more opportunities.
They are closing more deals.
Who This Is For
This training is for:
- new investors who want a clear path
- active investors who want to move faster
- investors who feel stuck doing everything themselves
- anyone serious about building a more efficient business
What You Walk Away With
You will leave with:
- a clear process you can follow
- real examples you can apply immediately
- a new way to approach deal flow and decision making
- a better understanding of how to operate at a higher level

BIG is hosted by Don DeRosa who will be bringing in local and national real estate experts to teach new investors how to survive and thrive in our ever changing economy and real estate market. The entire purpose of the group is to help new investors get their first deal and help new again investors get their next deal.

With Don DeRosa, Chrissy Griffin
& Jeric Murphy


Tuesday, April 21st @ NOON: The Onsite Renovation Group with Don DeRosa and Chrissy Griffin will be meeting at 79 Mortimer St SE, Atlanta, GA 30317. This deal was purchased and closed over a year ago with Jeric Murphy.
We actually visited this property at Onsite back on February 18th, 2025. So what’s been going on with this property?!?
On Tuesday, please join us for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at one of our most challenging (and rewarding) projects yet!
After nearly 10 months navigating the Atlanta permitting process, we finally got the green light and pushed this project forward. What started as a much smaller scope of work has evolved into a major transformation, including an ~1,100 sq ft addition that was originally planned for just 300 sq ft.
If you want to learn about fixing and flipping houses for huge profits, RSVP Now at http://onsite.atlantareia.com for the Onsite Renovation Group. Atlanta REIA Members can attend at no charge. Non-Members for $15.
The Onsite Renovation Group is being sponsored by New Western and Longhorn Investment.
