with Don DeRosa
Doubletree Suites Tampa Bay

Does talking to Sellers on the phone make you sweat? When you drive neighborhoods looking for ugly properties, does it stress you out because you don’t know what to look for? Does the thought of talking with Sellers face-to-face make you nervous? Do you avoid knocking on doors because you’re afraid you don’t know what to say?
These are all very common fears that all beginning investors have when seeking out their first few deals. Learning how to deal with these issues can make the difference between your success and failure.
If you would like to overcome challenges such as these, please be sure to join Don DeRosa in a two day, hands-on workshop where he will teach you…

- How to prescreen leads quickly and determine deal or no deal
- You will also be making and taking live calls from REAL Sellers!
Driving for Dollars

- What things you must have with you at all times
- How to research and find vacant property owners

- What marketing to leave behind if they’re not home
Day TWO in the Field
Day Two will be spent in the FIELD putting everything you learned in the classroom to immediate use. We will meetup on Sunday, August 12th, 2018 at 8AM Sharp at the IHOP located at 4910 W Spruce, Tampa, FL. You will be paired up with another classmate and literally go into the field and drive for dollars, door knock and talk to live sellers as well as seeking out and finding vacant properties.
If talking with sellers is a challenge for you, then you DO NOT want to miss out on this BRAND-NEW TRAINING EVENT we created just for YOU! There will be lots of hands-on practical applications in this event unlike anything you’ve probably ever seen. We will immerse you in the real estate investor experience so that you will quickly learn the skills you need to give you the confidence to talk with Sellers like a seasoned PRO.

with David Minor
Join us each month at our High Tech Home Buying Creative Deal Structuring Group that meets one hour BEFORE the Tampa REIA Main Monthly Event at the Doubletree Suites.
This month, David Minor is going to talk about how to “Hack Your Way to Your First Real Estate Deal!” David says there are lots of people who have “stuff” but they don’t know how to use it as pieces of the puzzle to get into real estate. For example…
- They may have $5K or more
- They may have a house with equity
- They may have time, but little or no money
- They may have cash and/or credit, but no time
- They may have attended a real estate training workshop or two and have enough information to be dangerous
- They may have access to other people and resources
Most people have the ability to get started investing in real estate leveraging the “stuff” they already have or have access to whether they know it or not.
It’s kinda like “creative deal structuring”, but instead of solving someone else’s problem, you start by solving your own problems.
Basically, you start by reorganizing what you have or have access to, to get where you want to go. You utilize assets you already have to gain control of larger assets and so on.
Come join David and learn how to take over the world one deal at a time! :)
At 5:00 PM in the Main Lobby, we have a Vendor Trade Show that lasts throughout the meeting where you can come out and meet many of our participating Business Members and Vendor Guests who help sponsor our meeting. See a full list of our vendors and sponsors below as they are added.

How to Become a Transaction Engineer with Don DeRosa on June 16, 2018
Posted on June 8, 2018 byWhen you come across a lead, do you know how to look at the information, analyze it and determine what to do with it next? There’s nothing worse than losing a deal because you don’t know multiple ways to structure the deal and how to present multiple offers to the seller.
We are in the midst of a sellers’ market. Although I wish it would never end, that simply isn’t possible. As Sir Isaac Newton once said “what goes up must come down“. He was referring to gravity of course, but the same can be said for real estate.
I want you to learn NOW, how to buy properties with no money down or with as little as possible because you can’t and shouldn’t always rely on traditional funding and traditional methods.
To be a good, creative deal structurer, two things need to happen… 1) You need to become a problem solver aka a “transaction engineer”. The better you understand the problem, the more solutions you can offer your seller. 2) You need to become your seller’s partner. It needs to be a win-win scenario for everyone.
During the Transaction Engineer Workshop, I’m going to teach you how to collect the right information, how to analyze the details and then how to use it to create a win-win solution for you and your seller.
At this event, you will learn how to:
- Ask the right kind of questions
- How to perform proper due diligence
- How to structure three different deals on each lead
- How to become a top transaction engineer by using techniques such as “subject to” owner financing, options, lease purchases and many more
- How to structure deals that eliminate/limit your need
for cash or cred - All this, plus answers to your questions and much more!
So join me, Don DeRosa, at the Transaction Engineer Workshop on Saturday, June 16th, 2018 from 9AM to 6PM at the Doubletree Suites Tampa Bay located at 3050 North Rocky Point Dr West in Tampa, FL as we discuss multiple offer strategies, negotiating and creative deal offer making.
I will also show you how to use my “Easy Offer Maker” to make profitable offers every time, using multiple strategies like owner financing, subject to, options and lease-options. If you want to learn how to make money on every lead you get your hands on, then REGISTER NOW and come join us to learn how to structure deals creatively and become a transaction engineer!
*PLEASE NOTE: The 2-for-1 Early Registration Special is for Members only. Members may bring a qualified guest such as a spouse, parent or adult child. Non-Members who join Tampa REIA between June 1st – 14th, 2018 can attend the workshop for NO CHARGE. Also, Tampa REIA Members who renew their membership for an additional year on or before June 1st – 14th, 2018 can attend the workshop for NO CHARGE as well.

The purpose of the group is to allow both new and experienced rehabbers and investors to meet, network, share knowledge and learn from each others successes and mistakes while getting “hands on” experience at real rehab properties.
The Onsite Renovation Group meets on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 1:00PM at an active renovation site, build site or rental property which will vary from month to month and be announced prior to the meeting on the Tampa REIA Calendar.
