Workshop on Buying Houses Subject-To in the 2023 Real Estate Market
Posted on December 16, 2022 byin Today’s Real Estate Market
with Don DeRosa

Also, Atlanta REIA Members who Renew Atlanta REIA Membership between January 1st and January 20th may attend the “Subject-To” Workshop at NO CHARGE as a THANK YOU for renewing.

My name is Don DeRosa. I am a real estate trainer, mentor and full-time real estate investor actively buying, selling and holding properties each month for huge profits and long-term cash flow. When I first started almost 25 years ago, I thought I wanted to be a wholesaler and flip contracts because I thought I needed a bunch of cash to buy and hold, or buy and rehab houses. I was like everyone else starting out in this business. I didn’t have lots of money, so I thought wholesaling was the easy way to go.
Boy was I wrong. Fortunately for me I was introduced to a buying technique called “Subject-To” by a friend. This is a technique where the Seller deeds the property over to you (you own it) but leaves the loan in place and you simply continue to make the existing payments (you don’t have to go to the bank and qualify).
Well I must say this technique changed my life. Within the first 30 days of learning the Subject-To technique I bought 4 houses for one dollar each (yes, you read that correctly) and I have been buying them that way ever since.
I no longer have to sell the “Golden Goose” to make lots of money. Today I am working furiously at buying properties “Subject-To” using the existing financing on the seller’s home instead of having to go to a bank or a hard money lender for funding. This allows me to buy multiple properties fast, without coming up with all the purchase funds on the front end.
Subject-To is the perfect strategy to use in today’s market where easy funding is not readily available for investors to buy pretty houses. Buying houses “Subject-To” the existing finances is by far the most powerful technique is real estate today. You can control and own an enormous amount of real estate with very little money. Understanding how to get sellers to finance your deals is the ultimate investment strategy.
If you’re a person who doesn’t have a lot of cash, or doesn’t have good credit or simply doesn’t want to use your credit, then you need to attend the upcoming Atlanta REIA “Subject-To” Workshop where I will be teaching you how to effectively use this technique. Learning this technique may very well be a life changing event for you like it was for me.
Join me for the “Subject-To” Workshop on Saturday, September 11th from 9AM to 5PM at Keller Williams, 1960 Satellite Blvd, Ste 1500, Duluth, GA and I will share with you, many of the Subject-To tools and techniques I use every day to create winning deals for myself as well as my buyers and sellers.
I will demonstrate how to apply these strategies, tools and techniques, and show you exactly how to evaluate the lead, determine your exit strategy, structure the deal, negotiate with the seller and get the paperwork done almost instantly and without any of the hard work you normally do to get your deals done.
By the end of the presentation, you’ll know how to buy houses…
- Without using your own credit
- Without having to sign personally on a note
- Without having to qualify for a mortgage
- Without having much money
Also…
- How to recognize a “Subject To” opportunity and buy with little or no money!
- How to evaluate any lead and decide whether this is a winner for you and how much money you’ll make before you make your offer
- How to combine buying strategies and exit strategies – that work right now
- How to structure a deal in less than 10 minutes, so that you make a minimum of $20,000 on it, choosing from multiple purchase and exist strategies
- How to determine the seller’s hot buttons so you can craft a deal the seller can’t refuse
- How to use my proprietary tools to negotiate for you, so you never let your emotions talk you into making a bad deal!
- And how to find all the money you need to do these deals so you have zero money out of your pocket.
Join me as I really, really drive these points home and give you all the Subject-To details you need to succeed in real estate investing. Once you are armed with my training and the tools, you will be able to do deals you never thought possible! RSVP NOW & DON’T MISS IT!

Renovating Houses & Vacation Rentals Workshop with Robyn Thompson
Posted on October 26, 2021 byRobyn Thompson’s Rehab Workshop Just Got Even Better!
VACTION RENTAL BONUS DAY!
Doubletree Hotel Roswell
1075 Holcomb Bridge Rd, Roswell, GA
Robyn Thompson is the nation’s leading expert on buying properties at deep discounts, renovating them at lightning speed and selling them quickly for huge chunks of cash.
Robyn has trained thousands of real estate investors and we are fortunate enough to have her coming to Atlanta for two full days to teach cutting edge strategies that will produce huge profits and cashflow in today’s competitive market.
On Saturday & Sunday, November 13th & 14th, 2021 from 9AM to 5PM Robyn will be teaching her 2 Day Rehabbing & Vacation Rental Workshop at the Doubletree Hotel, 1075 Holcomb Bridge Rd, Roswell, GA.
Robyn has rehabbed over 450 properties in her 22+ years of investing in up or down markets. In 2012, Robyn also started focusing on buying drop dead gorgeous houses in really nice neighborhoods with seller financing and keeping them… many at ZERO percent interest.
Lately, the number one challenge real estate investors have in the this extremely competitive real estate market is how to locate high profit deals to rehab or to keep for passive income.
At the Workshop, Robyn is going to share her top 4 marketing strategies to find the best rehabs and keeper properties so you can beat the competition hands down.
She is also going to teach you how to make multiple offers to sellers so you have a much higher probability of getting the seller to say YES to your offer.
She will show you step by step how to build a large portfolio of keepers and vacation rentals that will produce massive passive wealth for you and your family to live off for many years to come.
The amazing thing with vacation rentals is they make 2 to 3 times the cash flow of a regular, long term monthly rental. In fact, her low maintenance portfolio throws over $60,000 in income per month and she will show you exactly how she did it.
At the Workshop, she is going to teach you how to evaluate keeper properties thoroughly, so you avoid the ones that erode all your profits and you will learn how to create and make multiple offers on only the good houses that can boost your passive net worth.
On Saturday, November 13th, Robyn will be teaching you how to renovate houses for huge chunks of cash and on Sunday, November 14th, she is going to share with you her secrets on how to buy and hold gorgeous higher caliber properties that produce more cash flow, have much less vacancy and maximum appreciation in a very short time. You will avoid all the headaches that go with long term rentals and low end problem tenants.
As you can see this 2 Day Rehabbing & Vacation Rental Workshop will be packed full of knowledge, excitement and education. We look forward to seeing you at this great event on Saturday & Sunday, November 13th & 14th. Register Now!
*PLEASE NOTE: Early Registration Expires on Wednesday, November 10th at Midnight. Tuition will increase by $20 per person on November 11th. Register Now & Save! Non-Members who Join Atlanta REIA can attend the event at member price.
Due Diligence Online Workshop on November 20, 2021 with Don DeRosa
Posted on October 26, 2021 byA Hands-On, Online Workshop for Any Investor Who Wants to Know, Understand & Run Their Numbers Like a Pro!
When it comes to running a profitable real estate investing business, it’s all about knowing your numbers. If you’re off on your numbers, you may barely break even on a deal or even worse… lose big time!
You’ve probably heard the saying… “You make your money when you buy and you get paid when you sell”. This means YOU MUST KNOW YOUR NUMBERS BEFORE YOU BUY SO THAT YOU WILL GET PAID WHEN YOU SELL! You don’t want to over pay for properties, especially in today’s real estate market.
So when it comes to knowing your numbers…
- Do you know how to really determine if you are buying a good deal or not?
- Do you know if you’re paying too much?
- Do you know how much profit you’re going to make?
- Do you know how to do all your due diligence before you buy and what to look for?
- Do you know how to accurately determine the AS-IS value of an ugly house?
- Do you know After Repair Value (ARV) of a property for a buy and hold vs a fix and flip (or a high end rehab vs a low end rehab)?
- Do you know how to accurately determine repairs and estimate repair costs before you buy?
- Are you totally comfortable using the numbers your buyer or sellers give you when working a deal?
- Do you know how to quickly run the numbers like a pro?
- Do you know the other types of due diligence you must do before you ever close on a deal?
If you answered “NO” to any of these questions, unfortunately you may be going to a real life, expensive, school of hard knocks seminar very soon if your not extremely careful!
Instead of learning these valuable due diligence skills the hard and expensive way, be sure to attend the upcoming, highly affordable, Due Diligence Online Workshop with Don DeRosa on Saturday, November 20th, 2021 from 9AM to 6PM on Zoom Webinar.
At this Online Workshop, You will Learn:
- How to become a transaction engineer

- Reliable sources of “comparable” information data
- How to find and run comparables
- How to decide which comparables to use and which to ignore
- How to be a problem solver to create win-win deals for everyone
- How to take a lead and come up with multiple ways to structure the deal
- How to use your computer or mobile device to do your due diligence
- How to use state of the art tools to do all your negotiating for you
- How to overcome all seller objections when buying a house
- How to know the differences with a property’s rental income and it’s value
- Determining how much an investor should pay for a property
