Making Sellers Multiple Offers in Minutes!
with Don DeRosa

Don DeRosaHey folks, Don DeRosa here… I’d like to personally invite you to kick off the monthly Tampa REIA Meeting with me on April 11th at 5PM Sharp. At this session I will show you how to become a transaction engineer and how to do something with every single lead you get.

Have you ever had a lead that you didn’t know what to do with, or a lead that you wish you had more options? Having multiple option on every deal could make all the difference in the world. The age old saying “the more you know, the more you make” really does apply in real estate investing.

I will be discussing, multiple offer strategies, negotiating and creative offer making. I will also show you how to use my patented “Easy Offer Maker” to make profitable offers every time, using multiple strategies like, owner finance, subject to, options and lease options. If you want to learn how to make money at everything you get your hands on then come see me at 5PM SHARP on Thursday, April 11th.

Buying Houses “Subject-To”
in Today’s Real Estate Market
with Don DeRosa

Don DeRosa“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 22 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 Tampa REIA meeting 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 at the Beginning Investors Group Online on Tuesday, February 26th at 7PM ET 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, in 2019
  • 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 at the meeting 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!

Tampa REIA Presents the BRAND NEW:
Due Diligence Workshop
For Busy Real Estate Investors Who
Want to Know & Understand the Numbers When Making Deals Happen!
A Brand New, Full Day Workshop with Don DeRosa & Dustin Griffin
Sat, March 16th from 9AM – 7PM
Doubletree Suites Tampa Bay
3050 North Rocky Point Dr West, Tampa, FL
*2-for-1 Early Registration Special for Members Only. Register Now!

Don DeRosaWhen 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". This means YOU MUST KNOW YOUR NUMBERS BEFORE YOU BUY!

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!

Dustin GriffinInstead of learning these valuable due diligence skills the hard and expensive way, be sure to attend the upcoming, highly affordable, ALL NEW, Due Diligence Workshop with Don DeRosa & Dustin Griffin on Saturday, March 16th, 2019 from 9AM to 7PM at the Doubletree Suites located at 3050 North Rocky Point Dr West in Tampa, FL.

At this Workshop, You will Learn:

  • How to become a transaction engineer
  • How to determine the different types of property values
  • Using different property valuation models
  • 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
  • Identifying the target market (buyers) for the property
  • How to utilize public and near public information
  • How to inspect the property
  • How to determine what kinds of repairs are needed based on your exit strategy
  • How to estimate the costs of repairs based on your exit strategy
  • How to determine if a lead is a deal or no deal
  • Checking title and solving title flaws
  • Pitfalls to Avoid
  • All this, answers to your questions & so much more!

Buying Houses “Subject-To”
in Today’s Real Estate Market
with Don DeRosa

RSVP on Facebook or RSVP on Meetup

Tampa REIA Members Can Attend for no charge.
Guests Can RSVP Online Now for $15 or Pay $20 at the Door.

Don DeRosa“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 22 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 Tampa REIA meeting 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 at the Tampa REIA Main Meeting on Thursday, February 14th from 5PM-9PM at the Doubletree Suites Tampa Bay located at 3050 North Rocky Point Dr. West in Tampa, FL 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, in 2019
  • 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 at the meeting 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!

How to Build Your Wealth In 6 Hours Or Less A Month Using A Completely New Paradigm Without The Stress Of Risky Investments
with Paul Rossano

George AntoneThat’s a BOLD promise! Anyone who is familiar with George Antone and his proven advanced strategies know they are in for a treat because George always fulfills on his bold promises!

George, a 3-time best-selling author and thought leader in the finance and investing space, has blown the lid off a new paradigm no one is teaching; or even talking about, until now!

Imagine low-risk and low-stress strategies that are implemented one time and placed on autopilot to work FOR you starting ASAP – all in 6 hours or less per month!

In fact, keep reading for a $100k+ strategy that will be revealed in this presentation!

No, this is not a “get rich quick” strategy, but a fascinating way to tweak finance to make it work for you in amazing ways!

The traditional methods of building wealth can be grouped into 3 main categories: Investing, Trading and Saving. These traditional methods work; however, they require a lifetime commitment of learning and implementation.

George has been working on this new paradigm, a 4th method, called “Hacking Finance” – that promises the ability to LEARN and IMPLEMENT each financial strategy within a total of 6 hours or less, and then place it on autopilot to keep working for you!

…and you are about to walk away with one of these $100k+ “shortcuts” just from this presentation! This is NOT an overnight $100k+ strategy, but something you implement one time, and it builds over a number of years into $100k or more on autopilot.

What if you are already investing or lending? Quite simply, these methods will increase your existing returns tremendously! Come discover from George’s #1 trainer how to boost your yields by combining this system with your existing investments!

Paul RossanoThat’s exactly why we’re excited to have Paul Rossano, George’s top trainer, as our guest speaker this month at the Beginning Investors Group Online on Tuesday, January 22nd at 7PM ET where he will be sharing this unique and creative new way to approach finance and investing.

Paul will also be sharing this new paradigm, and will give you details of ONE of those strategies that banks use (called “floats”), that you can use to skyrocket your wealth. Paul will demonstrate what you need to do the very next morning at your local bank to increase your wealth by $100k+ over a number of years on autopilot without the stress of risky investments… and this is just ONE of MANY strategies!

Some people work hard. Others work smart. This is working smart!

If you want your path to financial freedom made easier, then this is something you cannot afford to miss out on! It just might be what you are looking for!

“This Thursday is going to be a meeting like nothing else you have ever witnessed!”
~ Larry Harbolt

Larry HarboltJoin us at the Tampa REIA Main Meeting on Thursday, January 10th from 5PM-9PM at the Doubletree Suites Tampa Bay located at 3050 North Rocky Point Dr. West in Tampa, FL where Larry Harbolt will be talking about how important structuring deals is to your real estate business.

He is going to talk about the most important “parts” of structuring the offers you make. Making profitable offers has always been a major weakness most investor’s have because they lack the fundamental knowledge of how deals can be structured. Instead, they tend to make offers only one way… a low, all cash offer.

Larry has spent years figuring out how to structure offers by using different techniques that will always increase the investor’s success rate. He’s going to share many of these techniques with you on Thursday.

Larry will also be talking about how paying interest steals not only profits and monthly cash flow, but also has a major effect on how your deals can be structured. This may sound simple, but you will be amazed at what you learn about how to structure your deals going forward.

Thursday Larry will show you…

  • The 5 Steps How to Build Wealth
  • The 7 Reasons Why Most Investor’s Fail
  • The 7 Jewels In the Crown Of Success
  • The 9 Critical Points of How to Be a Successful Investor
  • What to Look for and Why
  • Determining the Highest & Best Use of Each Property
  • Why ARV Isn’t the Most Important Factor of Every Deal
  • The 5 Types of Single Family Houses (that’s all there are)

Larry will also go into great depth on these subjects on Saturday, January 12th at a full day Deal Structuring Workshop. This is going to be a day full of information that can change, not only the way investors structure their deals, but also how they can increase their profits by altering the 4 parts of every offer they make to every seller.

This is new information Larry has only presented once and received rave reviews. The information he will be presenting to us is unique and is a subject no other teacher of real estate teaches at any level. You don’t want to miss what Larry has to share on Thursday, January 10th at Tampa REIA and also all day Saturday, January 12th at the Deal Structuring Workshop.

Come join us on Thursday, January 10th at Tampa REIA with Larry Harbolt and learn how to evaluate deals better and faster! RSVP NOW & DON’T MISS IT!

Make your plans now to be there for this unique, new information that will change the way you buy houses and make more profits on the deals you do while others who don’t attend will be clueless what you’re doing and why you’re doing deals they can’t do. RSVP Now!

Deal Structuring Workshop
Learn How to Make More Profit on Every Single Deal You Do!
A Full Day Workshop with Larry Harbolt
Saturday, January 12th, 9AM-5PM
Doubletree Suites Tampa Bay
3050 North Rocky Point Dr West, Tampa, FL

Larry HarboltOn Saturday, January 12th from 9AM to 6PM at the 3050 North Rocky Point Dr West in Tampa, FL, Larry Harbolt will be sharing with us a full day of new and exciting ideas that will change the way you structure your offers with sellers. He will also show us how to dramatically increase your profits on every deal simply by tweaking the way you structure your offers.

Larry will show us how he uses the “4 Key Parts” every offer must contain. He will show us how using a combination of Time, Payment, Interest and Price can be manipulated to give a seller what they want and also get what you want. You will be amazed how easy it is to make profitable offers others can’t match.

Larry will also explain why paying interest always steals profits and monthly cash flow on every financed deal. Paying more interest than necessary is not a profitable strategy as everyone knows, and is why you end up paying thousands of dollars more for each property you buy. After you hear what Larry will be showing us on Saturday, you will forget thinking that the price is the most important part of getting your offers accepted! There really is a better way!

This is such an important subject for you to master. This is new information Larry has presented only once and received rave reviews. The information he will be presenting on Saturday is really simple to understand and easy to use. The best part is this information isn’t taught anywhere on any level. Because of this fact, if you are with us on Saturday, you will have a major advantage over all of your competition.

Make your plans now to join us Saturday, January 12th, where Larry will share for the first time in our market, information that will change the way you make offers to buy houses and how you can make more profits on the deals you do. This will give you the upper hand over your competition as you will learn how to structure deals that will bring immediate results. Register Now!

Tuesday, January 15th at 1:00PM
2001 E Clinton St, Tampa, FL
Learn “Onsite” at Real Renovation Projects

Onsite MeetupPlease join us on Tuesday, January 15th at 1:00PM for the Tampa REIA Onsite Renovation Group (ORG) hosted by Jim Miera, to learn all about finding, funding, fixing, and flipping houses for big profits.

This month’s meeting will be held at 2001 E Clinton St, Tampa, FL which is a rehab project being managed by Ryan Groff and Steve Restaino of New Western Acquisitions.

This investment, in the “turning over” neighborhood of Seminole Crest, had a ton of potential from the
start, but many major hurdles to get it there. The home is a 3 bed, 2 bath, block home with a 2 car garage
and just over 1900 sq ft, making it one of, if not, the largest home in the neighborhood.

The rehab was
extensive and included unique aspects such as opening up a exterior block wall, adding a bathroom to a
slab foundation, and a lot of other heavy renovation. Come see how this home changed and the value
that was added through the rehab process.

We look forward to seeing everyone at this unique rehab case study on Tuesday, January 15th at 1PM. This rehab will be an exciting and powerful event to learn from! RSVP Now and we will see you there!
