& ONLINE for Those Who Can’t Attend In Person
When it comes to running a profitable real estate investing business, the name of the game has always been about knowing your numbers and what makes a deal profitable or not. That will especially be true in the upcoming months when our uncertain economy begins to change. And we’ve already seen many changes for labor and materials since Covid-19 hit. Are you accounting for these changes when you run your numbers?
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!
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 of 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, especially now?
- 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, especially now that building materials have skyrocketed and contractors are extremely busy?
- 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 Workshop with Don DeRosa on Saturday, September 12th, 2020 from 9AM to 5PM at the Doubletree Suites located at 3050 North Rocky Point Dr West in Tampa, FL and Online via Zoom Webinar for those who cannot attend in person.
At this Workshop, You will Learn:
- How to become a transaction engineer
- How to determine the different types of property values and why there are two different ARV’s for every property
- 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 especially now that building materials are climbing due to the supply and demand of the Covid-19 pandemic
- 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!

Mortgage delinquencies are peaking now, just like they did back in 2007 and 2008. Remember how that led to a spike in REOs, and investors who were prepared made hundreds of thousands of dollars acquiring properties for pennies on the dollar in 2009 and 2010? We are seeing similar patterns once again today!

If you can devote 2-4 hours per week to looking for properties, we can show you how to make it happen.
The “Buy Low, Rent Smart, Sell High” investment strategy was featured by Fortune Magazine. Come and learn why at the upcoming Atlanta REIA Online Webinar on Monday, September 14th from 6PM – 9PM with Special Guest Speaker, Andy Heller!

- What type of properties to buy, residential and commercial
- How to find the foreclosures BEFORE they are listed by real estate agents (on MLS)
- Marketing your properties to flip and create instant cash
- Marketing your properties to hold and create a nest egg for your future
- Selling your properties without discounting or using a real estate agent
A few examples of student success stories that Andy gives are:
- Donald Kung made $15,000 on his first REO, wholesaling it without using any of his own money
- John and Michelle Authement purchased their first bank-owned foreclosure, and had it lease/purchased 2 HOURS AFTER closing!
- Hans van der Kolk made $168,000 in just 4 months buying REOs, flipping two properties and lease optioning a 3rd.
- Jim Kincer is making $500/month on his first lease/purchase
- Sophie Ravenel purchased her first foreclosure worth $118,000 for just $55,000, 50 cents on the dollar

An Evening with a REO and Lease-Purchase Expert at BIG
Posted on August 11, 2020 by
with Andy Heller
Join us at the Beginning Investors Group (BIG) on Monday, August 17th at 7PM ONLINE at http://AREIA.us/BIG for an Evening with a Real Estate Expert with special guest, Andy Heller who will be taking questions regarding REOs and Lease/Purchase deals in the age of Covid and the “new normal” we are currently experiencing.
Imagine if it was 2007 again and you had insight into what would happen to the real estate market in the coming months, and how to turn this window of opportunity into a lifetime of riches! Well today we are seeing drastic increases in mortgage delinquencies, 90 day lates, divorces, bankruptcies, etc.
What does that mean to you as an investor and how do you capitalize on the flood of REOs that will likely follow? Many economists are comparing today to 2007, a window of time before a real estate reset. The signs today resemble what we saw in 2007, but obviously for different reasons.
Investors may be looking at the opportunity of a lifetime in the coming months and years. Arguably, the top two real estate investing strategies that follow rises in mortgage delinquencies are REOs and Lease/Purchases.
You will learn about BOTH these strategies at BIG and have a chance to grill real estate author and investor Andy Heller. 2020 could be your 2007, so investors buckle up and prepare and start by joining us on Monday night at ONLINE at http://AREIA.us/BIG.

Early on, Jason and Rachel decided to make a big change…and take charge of their own destiny by opening a mortgage company. They eventually built that business into a multimillion-dollar company, where they closed over 3,000 real estate transactions.
Then the market crashed and they had to find a new way to use their real estate talents. That’s when they went into real estate investing and started down a new path. Implementing the real estate strategies, they honed over time, they have since closed well over 400 real estate transactions, including pre-foreclosures, short sales, wholesales, probates, and all other types of deals.
They then decided to make another big change and start sharing their knowledge with other investors. They now run a top coaching program with the nation’s leading investors, own a profitable hard money lending company with over 2 million dollars in loans out to their coaching students at any given time, and continue to be co-owners of their local REIA…all while continuing to flip houses using the exact systems they teach!

Jason Roberts and Rachel Schneider
Posted on July 30, 2020 by
Jason Roberts and Rachel Schneider have always been fascinated by the world of real estate. In 2001, while still in their early 20’s, Jason and Rachel decided that instead of working for someone else, they would rather be in charge of their own destiny and opened a mortgage company. They eventually built that business into a multi-million dollar company, where they closed over 3000 real estate transactions. Then the market crashed and they had to find a new way to use their real estate talents. That is when they went into real estate investing and started down a new path. Implementing the real estate strategies they have honed over time they have since closed well north of 300+ real estate transactions (pre-foreclosures/short sales, wholesales, probates, etc).
Having seen pretty much everything, they decided to funnel that expertise into their true passion; sharing their knowledge with other investors. They now run a top coaching program with the nation’s leading investors, own a profitable hard money lending company, with over 2 million dollars in loans out to their coaching students at any given time, share their wealth of knowledge as co-owners of their local REIA all the while continuing to flip houses.
