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

Don DeRosaMy 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!

Don DeRosaDoes 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…

12 Skills You MUST Possess in 2023 to Earn a 7 Figure Income as a Real Estate Investor
with Don DeRosa

Don DeRosaTAMPA REIA meets on Thursday, November 10th from 6PM to 9PM at the Doubletree Westshore, 4500 W Cypress St, Tampa, FL with our good friend, Don DeRosa. Here is a few words from Don about what he will be teaching at the meeting…

“If you’re new to Real Estate (within the past 10 years), then you probably have never experienced a down turn in the market. All you have experienced has been an appreciating market with low interest rates and non-motivated Sellers (Sellers Market).

It’s been easy to sell for top dollar or more with next to little to no skill or effort needed. However, that is changing RAPIDLY. With houses now sitting on the Market for 60-90 days and interest rates climbing at an alarming rate, it’s getting more and more difficult to sell quickly.

The skills that you’ve acquired over the past 10 years are NOT the only skills you need to get by in 2023. In fact, if you keep doing what you’ve been doing going into 2023, then you will most certainly become a motivated Seller yourself. You need to get a new set of skills to survive and thrive in our NEW, ever changing economy.

On Thursday at Tampa REIA, I am going to share the top 12 things EVERY investor must know and focus on immediately if they expect to excel in the coming years. By focusing on these 12 things, you WILL set yourself up to earn a seven figure income.

We will discuss…

  • Top Mistakes Investors Make
  • How To Avoid These Mistakes
  • What Techniques Will Work
  • What Techniques WIll NOT
  • Why Learning To Be Creative Will Separate You From Your Competition
  • How To Improve Your Negotiating Skills
  • Answers to Your Questions and a Whole Lot More…

These are just a few of the things we will discuss. With the housing market in a down turn, it will most certainly create new challenges, but with that comes great opportunity for those who have the ability to recognize it. Come join me so we can put your investment business in overdrive in the New Year. I look forward to seeing you on November 10th at Tampa REIA. RSVP Now below and come Learn to Earn a 7 Figure Income or more in 2023!

Don DeRosaDoes 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?

Staged Right Home Design and StagingStaged Right Home Design and Staging is a full service home staging company. We provide vacant and occupied staging as well as short term rental furnishing services. Our experienced home stylists are well trained at the science of using home staging as an effective marketing tool.

Staging a home is no longer optional in our current real estate market. Sellers need to differentiate themselves and buyers are expecting to feel “at home” during the first 60 seconds when they enter a home. Achieving top value for your property and minimizing days on market is as much our business as it is yours.

We service Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, and Hernando counties. We work with investors, real estate agents, and homeowners who want to sell their house for more money in less time!
