What’s Happening at Atlanta REIA for the Week of October 14, 2013
Posted on October 14, 2013 by
On Tuesday, October 15th at Noon, the Onsite Renovation Group will be returning to 651 Holderness St SW, Atlanta, GA 30310. You may remember that we visited this gut-out project back in July in what used to be the “red line zone” but has been experiencing incredible rejuvenation thanks to investor activity. The project is an early-make bungalow with visions of grandeur and profit. We’re returning to this job now that sheetrock is getting done and the trim and tile are starting to show the finished product. Come see what a job looks like before the finishing touches are put on!
The Onsite Renovation Group, led by Aaron McGinnis of Craftbuilt Properties, is an new educational and networking group that focuses on the acquisition, renovation and retail resale (fix and flip) of single family residential homes inside the I-285 perimeter and the in-town neighborhoods. The purpose of this group is to allow both new and experienced rehabbers and investors to meet, network and share knowledge and experience with “hands on” access to real property. The Onsite Renovation Group meets on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at NOON at an active renovation site, build site or rental property which will vary from month to month. There is currently no charge to attend these meeting.
Atlanta REIA North is a of the Atlanta Real Estate Investors Alliance that meets on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM at 1960 Skylar Hill Dr, Suite D, Buford, Georgia in North Gwinnett County just a few miles from the Mall of Georgia.

After the conclusion of the Atlanta REIA North Meeting (after 9:30 PM), we will be reconvening at the Mall of Georgia located at 3250 Woodward Crossing Blvd in Buford, GA for the “Meeting after the Meeting”. We may arrive late if the Atlanta REIA Meeting runs late. So please come eat, drink, network and have fun with us as hang out late into the night!

They will be joining us to share their thoughts with you and answer all your burning legal questions. Join us at BIG and you will learn…
