Did you know that the one of the biggest challenges that most real estate investor face is they don’t know how to locate a high profit deal that they can buy at a discount and then fix it up and sell it for more.

Yes this is true. It is the number one problem that stops most investors in their tracks. Marketing to find high profit deals is the most critical step that a real estate investor must learn if they want to wealthy.

The sad part is the lack of knowledge of how to locate high profit deals has put many a real estate investor out of business. Now don’t climb out on a ledge just yet, because I have some great news!

Our dear friend, Robyn Thompson is our guest speaker at Tampa REIA on March 11, 2021. She is the nation’s leading expert on buying, renovating and selling homes for huge chunks of cash and is known throughout the United States and Canada as “The Queen of Rehab”.

Robyn is one of the best marketers I know for finding motivated sellers and she is always willing to teach students her strategies for making massive profits rehabbing houses.

Robyn will be sharing her strategies on: 1) How to find the profitable homes that need renovated, 2) How to deals even if you have little or no money to start with, 3) How to find and control the contractors to get the job done and 3) Selling houses quickly for huge chunks of cash.

Over the past two decades, Robyn has bought, fixed and sold 450+ homes with price ranges as low as $8,000 to as high as $3,500,000. She has spent as much as $2,100,000 in labor and materials in one year to renovate properties with more than 22 contractors working full time to take the unwanted homes she bought and turn them into little castles at lightening speed.

Robyn has taught thousands of students throughout the United States how to become financially independent. She has shared the stage with Donald Trump, Dr Phil, Mark Victor Hansen, Ron LeGrand, Marshall Sylver & many more legends. Robyn uses her success in the real estate business to help those less fortunate.

Robyn presents the most up to date strategies for buying low and selling high to ensure large profits and that is why she is one of the most high demand speakers in the nation. So RSVP for Tampa REIA and come rehabbing from the best!

Join us at the Marketing Madness Event on Thursday, September 24th at 7PM ET ONLINE via Zoom Webinar with Frank Iglesias who will be discussing “Networking – Your Not So Secret Weapon That You Must Maximize” to reach buyers, sellers, funders, partners and anyone else you need on your dream team.

Networking, simple right? Everyone knows how to talk to people right? Nothing could be further from the truth. Reality is we go to school for 13 years to get a high school degree and maybe another 4-10 to get one or numerous college degrees and still may not know how to network effectively. Yet networking is one of the most powerful tools at your fingertips every single day.

Yet, very few people know how to use it, much less use it effectively. This presentation is to talk about people and how networking with others effectively. This all too often unused form of marketing has the ability to change the impact your business can make every day.

Frank will discuss…

• It’s all about the relationship
• Stop asking for so much stuff all the time! Give instead!
• Why referrals stink and introductions are great
• Why taking someone out to lunch is the worst thing you could offer them.
• Thinking long term in every deal conversation you have
• Answers to your questions and a whole lot more!

You do not want to miss this session! Everyone talks about the house needs this much work and the ARV and the MAO, blah, blah, blah. Yet that only counts for no more than 20% of what matters in every transaction. 80%+ is about the people, the people, the people and if you know how to network, you can get a lot of people on your side. Isn’t that what you want?

Register Now and join us on the webinar and we’ll discuss how to do all of this and more!

Atlanta REIA, Tampa REIA, Chattanooga REIA & Savannah REIA Members can currently Register for the Webinar at for $5. Not-Yet-Members can Register for the Webinar for $25 or Join Atlanta REIA for Only $100/year!

Real Estate in this country can be purchased for PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR for investors who know how to find them, how to fund the purchases, and how to sell or lease the properties when purchased. Learn how to be one of those investors at Atlanta REIA!

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!

Over the next 12 – 24 months real estate investors who are prepared for this, who know where and how to find REOs, how to finance these purchases, how to flip and lease purchase them, will be in a position to make hundreds of thousands of dollars in a generational opportunity. 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!

Join us at Atlanta REIA and you will learn how to buy properties for pennies on the dollar and marketing strategies for wholesaling, flipping, and holding the properties once purchased.

• 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

Many experts, such as Andy, are predicting the real estate opportunity of a lifetime headed our way. Register to Attend Now and come learn from the nation’s leading expert on REOs and Lease Options! We hope to see you there!
