About BIG…
The Beginning Investors Group (BIG) is an educational and networking group for new investors who are just getting started in real estate investing as well as “new again” real estate investors who’ve taken a few years off and are looking to get back in the game.
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.
This is a “dinner” group and we kindly request that you buy dinner and/or drinks since the Hudson Grille allows us to meet there. There will be lots of learning and lots of networking. Bring your deals and your haves, wants and needs to the meeting for discussion.
As always, Atlanta REIA Members can attend the meeting at no charge and not-yet-members can RSVP Online for $15 or pay $20 at the door.

Let Me Be Straight With You: AI Is Moving FAST!
A lot of people think they have a few years to figure out AI.
You may not even have 3 months. It’s moving and evolving that quickly.
This isn’t hype. It’s the reality of the world we now live in. We have never seen anything grow this fast — and if you don’t know which AI tools actually work for your real estate business RIGHT NOW, it’s going to cost you deals, money, and time.
There’s a flood of AI tools out there. Most are a waste of time and money. You need to know what works — and you need to know now.
That’s why Atlanta REIA is hosting a full-day AI Investor Blueprint Workshop on Saturday, July 25th in Duluth, taught by Don DeRosa — a 25+ year real estate investor and coach who isn’t just teaching this stuff. He’s using these exact tools in his own business every single day and sharing them with his inner circle of coaching students.
No theory. No hype. Real tools producing real results — today.
A Quick Video Message from Don DeRosa
Something Big Is Happening in This Business
Some investors are suddenly moving faster than everyone else.
They’re analyzing more deals. They’re making better offers. They’re reaching sellers before anyone else even knows the property exists.
And most investors have no idea how they’re doing it.
This is not something coming in the future. It’s happening right now — and on July 25th, Don is pulling back the curtain and showing you exactly how it works.
Imagine:
- Analyzing a deal in 30 seconds instead of 30 minutes — comps, repair estimates, and your maximum offer, done before your coffee gets cold
- Walking into every seller conversation already prepared — a full seller script and negotiation plan generated before you ever pick up the phone
- Follow-up that never sleeps — automated systems that nurture your leads 24/7 so no deal slips through the cracks
- Eliminating hours of busy work every week — the repetitive tasks that eat your day, handled by AI
That’s not the future. That’s what you’ll learn to set up at this workshop.
What This Full Day Will Show You
This is a hands-on, step-by-step training — not a sales pitch and not a demo reel. You will learn how to:
- Generate consistent seller opportunities using AI
- Evaluate deals quickly and accurately with real numbers
- Structure smarter offers with less effort
- Approach every seller conversation with total confidence
- Automate your follow-up so leads never go cold
- Move deals to buyers faster
- And most importantly: turn your business into a system instead of a never-ending list of tasks
You’ll leave with a clear blueprint you can plug directly into your business the moment you walk out of the room.
The Gap Is Widening
Most investors are still doing everything manually. They write their own marketing. They analyze one deal at a time. They spend hours researching properties and chasing leads.
The investors who’ve learned to operate differently are pulling ahead — making faster decisions, seeing more opportunities, and closing more deals with less effort.
Every month you wait, that gap gets wider. You can learn this now, or spend the next few years catching up to the investors sitting in the room on July 25th.
Is This Workshop for You?
- New investors who want a clear path instead of guesswork
- Active investors who want to move faster and do more with less
- Investors who feel stuck doing everything themselves
- Anyone serious about building a business that runs on systems, not sweat
You do NOT need to be a tech person. If you can send an email, you can do this. No overwhelming complexity — just a step-by-step blueprint.
Your Take-Home Blueprint
- A clear, repeatable process you can follow immediately
- Real examples and real tools you can apply the same day
- A new way to approach deal flow and decision making
- The exact AI tools that work right now — and which ones to skip
- A plan to implement AI into your investing career, your business, and your life
