My name is Don DeRosa and I will be your main speaker this month at Tampa REIA on Thursday, July 9th at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Tampa Stadium. I’m coming to share some valuable information with you that almost nobody is telling you: The Real Estate Investing Game has changed.

Let’s be realistic about something. The way most people are still taught to find real estate deals is broken. Mail more postcards. Dial more cold calls. Chase the same tired lists as every other investor in your market — and watch your response rates shrink to almost nothing. You’ve probably felt it. It’s exhausting, it’s expensive, and it’s getting harder every single month.

On Thursday, August 13th at Tampa REIA , I’m hosting a 90-minute live preview where I’m going to pull back the curtain on the AI-powered marketing system I run in my own business every single day. Not theory. Not a stage full of hype. The actual machine — up on the screen — showing you how artificial intelligence now finds the motivated sellers, reaches out, answers the phone, holds a real conversation, qualifies the lead, and books the appointment… while I sleep.

This is not another “rah-rah” real estate event. There’s no recycled 10-year-old playbook here. In 90 minutes you’ll understand more about where real estate investing is actually headed than most people will figure out in the next three years — and you’ll see exactly why the investors who adopt this now are about to leave everyone else behind.

In this 90-minute preview you’ll discover:

• Why the “more postcards, more cold calls” model is quietly bankrupting hard-working investors — and what’s replacing it
• How AI can find and qualify motivated sellers for you, around the clock, without you making a single call
• A live look at the exact system I use — so you see it work, not just hear about it
• Where real estate marketing is going in the next 24 months, and how to be on the right side of it

And this Thursday night is just the beginning. It’s your first look at everything. We will go all-in on Saturday, August 15th at the full-day event — where you’ll learn how to actually put this to work in your own business.

Seats are limited and this room will fill. If you’ve been feeling like the little guy is getting squeezed out — this is the 90 minutes that flips the script.

Date & Time: Thursday, August 13th from 6PM-9PM

Vendor tables are limited, so any vendors wanting to reserve a table for the meeting can RSVP for a Vendor Table here. Vendor tables are reserved and setup on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Starting at 6:30 PM, Dustin Griffin kicks off the Tampa REIA Main Monthly Event with updates and announcements. Dustin covers what’s happening at Tampa REIA in the upcoming weeks and months such as upcoming workshops, webcasts, special events, members benefits and much more!

At 6:45 PM or so, we will be having the Haves & Wants Speed Marketing Session which gives our members the opportunity to quickly market deals they HAVE and to find deals they WANT. We also give our business members the opportunity to get up and say a few words about their businesses. Members who want to participate in the Haves & Wants Marketing Session must bring your flyers and get to the meeting early to get on our list of participants.

After the conclusion of the Tampa REIA Main Meeting (around 9:30PM), we will be reconvening at the Riveters Tampa located at 2301 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33607 for the “Meeting After the Meeting” with Tampa REIA Crew. Come eat, drink, network, have fun and hang out with us late into the night on Tampa Bay!
