“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!”

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

Join 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!

As always, Tampa REIA Members can attend our July Main Meeting event at no charge and Non-Members can Register Online for $15 or pay $20 at the door. Be sure to bring your business cards and flyers and join us for an evening of real estate deals, vendors, networking, education and fun on Thursday, January 10th! See you there!

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!

A common saying in our industry is that “You make your money when you buy, you get paid when you sell.” To make your money when you buy, means you have to buy right. Well, during this month’s Tampa REIA Meeting, Lawrence is going to show us how he evaluates his potential deals.

Lawrence says… “as a local investor right here in Tampa, I see a ton of deals that come across my desk from wholesalers and time and time again, I wonder why would they think this is an actual deal? What I wanted to do is break down the extremely effective way that we evaluate deals here at Ethical Home Buyers. We’ve purchased over 400+ properties over the past 15 years and one of the few constants in my office is how we evaluate the deals. Let’s face it, if it’s not broke, why fix it? Not only do we purchase a lot of homes, we are able to evaluate them quickly and efficiently. In my presentation, a few things that I will be teaching you is…

• I’m going to teach you step by step how to take the information that you gathered from your lead sheet and see if you have a dud or a stud.

• How to evaluate a deal so you can have the confidence to make offer’s fast

• I’ll show you the exact formula I use to run comps

• I’ll show you how to align yourself with a Realtor, so you can have access to their MLS which will allow you to get the most accurate comps

• I’ll show you why understanding your exit strategy before you enter is key

• I’ll show you how I’m able to buy houses, condo’s, townhomes, and mobile homes with complete confidence

• I’ll show you 11 types of houses you should probably steer clear of

• Answers to your questions and much more!

Join David Minor this month at the High Tech Home Buying Creative Deal Structuring Subgroup (AKA the “Meeting Before the Meeting”) as he discusses how to multiple offers to every seller you talk to. David is going to show you how to take any potential deal and make up to 3 offers on every house.

Making multiple offers increases your chances of getting a contract ten fold. He will show you ow to make an all cash offer and several owner financed offers on every deal will allow you to offer the seller more money than simply offering one, low, all cash offer.

If you’ve got deals you’re working on, bring them and David will help you figure out a few offers so you can make some money!
