On Tuesday, October 23rd at 7, 9 & 11 PM ET we are having a replay of our Evening with a Real Estate Expert with Mike Warren. Mike is a nationally known author, investor, and instructor specializing in investing in judgments and liens which are secured by real estate.

Mike started in the business of collecting judgments and liens many years ago when he was presented with the opportunity to buy a judgment attached to an investment property for $1,000 which quickly resulted in a $7500 profit without the assistance of an attorney! This simple investment opened the doors to a lifetime of wealth and opportunities.

On this webcast, Mike is going to talk about investing in liens and options, how it works, how much cash it requires, how to profit, the risks and rewards, how to do it from home online and much more! Register for the Webcast Now and don’t miss out on this fascinating topic that you don’t hear about very often.

The Note Buyers Group an Atlanta REIA educational and networking subgroup led by Tom Boyer that is designed to teach real estate investors how to buy and sell the mortgage notes that secure a property rather than buying the property itself. The group’s goal is to transact deals within the group and increase our professionalism through education in a changing credit market. The agenda for this month’s meeting is (1) Haves/Wants, (2) Notes for Sale – Bring yours for analysis, (3) Smaller investment amount opportunities and (4) Strategies using seller financing to buy/sell properties, and (5) Legislation update as appropriate.

The Note Buyers Group meets on the 4th Tuesday of each month from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM at Olive Garden located at 2467 Cobb Parkway SE in Smyrna about 1/2 mile from I-285. If you are a new investor, this is a great opportunity to pick up pointers on what to do and what not to do when investing in notes. Atlanta REIA Members can attend at no charge.
