• What NOT To Say
• Real Life Deal Examples
• How To Listen to The Seller
• How To Get The Deal Accomplished
• And Much Much More!

He has a servants heart, which is how he runs his business, and he truly wants to help.

Learn How to Build Tax Free Wealth Using Self-Directed IRAs with Jim Hitt at Chattanooga REIA
By Chattanooga REIA on March 29, 2019

Click For Eventbrite Tickets Here

Decade after decade, it seems like real estate keeps coming through. While any asset class can have a down year – or even several down years in a row, as the real estate investment community saw 10 years ago – real estate remains a proven long term wealth generator year after year, decade after decade, and generation after generation.
That’s what makes real estate an ideal investment for your retirement portfolio – and even in a special kind of IRA, called a self-directed IRA.

Self-directed IRAs allow individuals to use their IRA funds to purchase rental property, rehabs/flips, private mortgages, tax liens, and much, much more. By using a self-direct IRA, an investor can utilize this “new” bucket of cash to acquire assets that they can better control and thus drive better returns to their IRA. Best of all, the gains from these investments go back to the IRA without any tax implications.

Some people still believe the myth that IRAs don’t allow you to own real estate. This is because Wall Street companies that only sell stocks, bonds, funds, annuities and other kinds of paper assets. They aren’t compensated to sell real estate, and so they don’t pitch it, other than to sell real estate investment trusts, or REITs, which are still securities, rather than direct real estate assets themselves.

But it is very easy for you to own real estate assets of all kinds within a self-directed IRA – even direct ownership of rental properties.

On Thursday, April 4th, 2019 at 6:30 PM at Hilton Garden Inn, 2343 Shallowford Village Dr, Chattanooga, TN, we will have as our very special guest, Jim Hitt of American IRA. Jim Hitt maximizes profits by blending his two passions, self-directed IRA investing and real estate investing, to create great tax advantaged wealth. Jim is the CEO and Founder of American IRA, a national Self-Directed IRA services provider.

Here is a small sampling of what you will learn at our event:

• How to legally borrow money from your retirement account
• How to make a Roth IRA contribution of 18K or more
• What is a back door Roth IRA?
• How to use your retirement account to create current income legally
• How to use Self-Directed IRAs for real estate and private lending
• How to build a small Roth IRA into a financial powerhouse for retirement
• Using OPIRA’s to build your real estate business, PLUS,
• BONUS Case study about using creative real estate techniques to buy income property for no or low down payment using single-family homes

Jim founded American IRA in 2004 and New Vision Trust Company in 2017. Jim has also been a licensed real estate broker in the state of California for over 40 years and an active real estate investor who has participated in over 6,000 real estate transactions with a current portfolio of over 50 rental properties. Jim has participated in the acquisition and development of single family homes, multifamily homes, commercial buildings, private offerings, mortgage lending, businesses, joint ventures, partnerships, limited liability companies and more. Throughout Jim’s investing career, he has employed various creative financing strategies including private lending, owner financing, hard money lending, and more.

How To Create Written Offers Thursday, March 21st at BIG Chattanooga
By Chattanooga REIA on March 20, 2019

This month at BIG, we will be discussing How To Create Written Offers. This is the lifeblood of Real Estate Investing. If you plan on buying or acquiring houses, then this is a must-have skill. We will go into an in-depth analysis of how and why to create a written offer as well as giving you a method of tracking your offers.

One important thing to remember is that an offer is different from a purchase contract. A purchase contract is often a formal document written in legalese that no one – especially the buyer and seller – understands. On the other hand, an offer can be written in plain English on a Post-it note that makes sense to everyone!

In order to succeed as a real estate investor, you MUST be making written offers. If you write about 100 offers, you will most likely get a deal or 2, out of that batch. You will NOT get a deal if you are NOT making offers.

We will discuss what goes into a written offer AND how to use the T-Bar. Don't miss this event!

RSVP NOW on Facebook or on Meetup and join us on Thursday, March 21st at 5:30PM at Wally's Restaurant located at 6521 Ringgold Rd in East Ridge, TN. Network with other investors and build friendships and relationships for each others success. Be sure to have a delicious supper from the menu or from the buffet at Wally's Restaurant. DO NOT MISS this event!! RSVP TODAY, and We will see YOU at BIG Chattanooga!

Making Impossible Deals Profitable! Chattanooga Main Monthly Event with Bill Cook Thurs. March 7th
By Chattanooga REIA on March 4, 2019

RSVP on Facebook or RSVP on Meetup

We’re continually told the importance of working outside the box. For real estate investors, this advice can’t be more wrong! At this special REIA event, the first thing you’ll learn is why this advice is so wrong – even dangerous! To be a successful real estate investor, consider this: The job of a real estate investor is not to buy, sell or rent houses. Our job is to solve people’s real estate problems.

Do you want to achieve your investing goals? Then don’t go out looking for “deals”. Instead, go out looking for problems to solve and people to help. In other words, look for peoples’ uncomfortable circumstances. This one shift in your thinking can completely alter your life’s financial outcome.

Think of it this way: When you go out, are you looking to do FOR people or TO people? You already know that “FOR” attracts and “TO” repels. Each day, are you attracting or repelling business?

To make all deals possible, you only need to do five things:

• Get face-to-face with sellers
• Be curious
• Draw up a T-bar
• Understand a teeter-totter offer
• Put your offer in writing

At this REIA event, as we talk about creative deal structuring, you’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of these five most-important things.

You’ll also see examples of a number of our creatively constructed and funded real-world deals. In addition, we‘ll answer these four deal-making questions:

• How was it found?
• How was it structured?
• How was it funded?
• And once bought, what did we do with it?

Finally, here are a number of questions we promise to answer:

• What’s the fastest, cheapest, most effective way to get face-to-face with homeowners and sellers?
• What is the best way to learn how to creatively construct and fund a deal?
• What type of deal is the safest to do, and still offers the highest yields?
• What is the best way to get owner financing or find private money lenders?
• When a seller calls, what two questions should you ask?
• What’s the best way to determine a property’s value?
• What’s the most you should pay for a property? (This answer will floor you!)
• When an investor is sinking, what two questions do I ask to determine the cause?
• Is it possible to make ten written offers each day?
• What needs to be your daily goal?
• What does it really take to succeed at real estate investing?

BIG Online Webinar on How to Buy Houses Pretty Houses Subject-To with Don DeRosa
By Chattanooga REIA on February 26, 2019

“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 Beginning Investors Group Online on Tuesday, February 26th at 7PM ET 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!”

Secrets To Subject -To Success with William Tingle VIA Skype at BIG Chattanooga Thurs. February 21st.
By Chattanooga REIA on February 18, 2019

What does buying a house “subject to” really mean? After all, there are all types of subject to clauses one can put into a contract when buying a home. This includes subject to attorney review, buyers inspection, finding a quality resident (as in a lease-option), or as we’re referring here, the existing mortgage. Can an investor really just take over someone’s mortgage payment on their original loan, and have the deed transfered?

Absolutely!!

But why wouldn’t the seller just sell the home? Why would they give up equity or title? Why would they jeopardize their credit?

It seems to make no sense, but there are reasons why a homeowner would just hand over the deed. Unfortunately, bad things happen to good people, and sometimes they get themselves into tough situations or they just plain run out of time.

If this sounds like Thor's magickal hammer for acquiring properties, IT IS!
BUT, there is a time and reason to use such a tool, and there is no one better to show you how to use that tool than William Tingle.

For over 10 years William operated a real estate business where he wholesaled and rehabbed numerous properties each year but found his real niche in what he calls “Sub2”, buying subject to the existing financing. To date, he has taken the deed on over 500 properties and even though he “retired” in Belize in 2010, he still continues to buy 20 to 25 properties a year in this manner in select markets throughout the United States.

William will be teaching "The Secrets Of Subject-To" at BIG Chattanooga, Thursday, February 21st via Skype. RSVP NOW and learn:

• Why Would a Seller Be Willing To Do Sub 2?
• Advantages for The Seller and Buyer
• Pitfalls To Be Aware Of
• The Due On Sale Clause
• What About Insurance Issues?
• Answers To Your Questions

RSVP NOW on Facebook or on Meetup and join us on Thursday, February 21st at 5:30PM at Wally's Restaurant located at 6521 Ringgold Rd in East Ridge, TN. You will get to ask questions directly to William and get answers. If YOU have successfully accomplished a Sub2 deal or two, come tell us about it! Network with other investors and build friendships and relationships for each others success. Be sure to have a delicious supper from the menu or from the buffet at Wally's Restaurant. DO NOT MISS this event!! RSVP TODAY, and We will see YOU at BIG Chattanooga!

Have you been a “real estate investor” for several months or even years without doing your first deal? What is holding you back? Fear? Lack of money? Credit Problems? Lack of Focus? Are you afraid you will screw it all up?

Why make such a big deal about your first deal? Well, it’s the hardest deal you will do, but once you get through it, your belief in yourself and real estate investing will rise dramatically. You will be on your way to becoming a true real estate problem solver.

Wholesaling: What It Is and What It Ain't with Russ Hiner At Chattanooga REIA Thursday, February 7th @ 6:30PM
By Chattanooga REIA on February 3, 2019

RSVP on Facebook or RSVP on Meetup

Do you want to play the real estate investing game but don’t know where to start? Do you have little or no cash or credit? Want to avoid risk, repairs, tenants and toilets? Want to buy houses with no money? Wholesaling is a great strategy for making quick cash, low risk, without the use of your cred, income, or money.

Wholesaling real estate is among the most popular investment strategies because anyone can do it — you don’t need a real estate license or a lot of money to start. And once you start, with a little effort, it’s nearly impossible to keep the money from pouring into your bank account..

Wholesaling also has a dirty secret. One that you need to know about BEFORE you just start picking up and wholesaling houses. You MUST have "specialized" knowledge. Putting together a deal is an extremely valuable skill. Wholesaling houses is more complicated than it seems. Although many beginners feel that it is the best place to get started in creative real estate, for many, it is a tough way to break into investing without the help of a mentor or coach. Although it may not require much money to complete the transaction, wholesaling houses successfully often involves considerable knowledge. And if you aren’t careful, you could create quite a sticky situation with an angry seller. That’s what they don’t tell you about wholesaling houses.

Russ is going to show you how to navigate those kinds of situations, and create win-win-win deals. He will NOT be able to do it in under 2 hours though. Which is why on Saturday, April 13th, Russ will be holding his one-of-a-kind, ALL-DAY workshop here in Chattanooga. If you want to know about how to wholesale successfully, You need to register for this workshop!

On Thursday, February 7th at Chattanooga REIA's Main Monthly Event,
Russ Will Share With You A Control Strategy that is:

• Low risk
• Low upfront capital
• No cred requirement
• Generates cash flow in 30 days
• High ROI
• Can be replicated in any market and any time
• Doesn't require physical presence at the target property
• And, What pitfalls to avoid
• Answers to your questions and more!

When Russ started in the Real Estate Business over 30 years ago, he did not have a formal Real Estate education. He did everything by the seat of his pants, and learned some tough lessons. Here is what Russ found: the seat-of-your-pants business model will result in painful growth. It will cost a LOT of YOUR money. Russ wants you to learn from his mistakes so YOU can be successful. Russ says, "I’m an expert, and a coach who can show you the Infinite Wholesale Technique. I can show you how to be confident, how to turn a profit, how to make good decisions, and I can show YOU how to make $5,000+ in the next 30 days!

Russ also advises, "If you could learn one thing from me, it would be to get a formal education from a solid coach or mentor who has been where you are and knows how to help you get your profitable real estate business off the ground."

Start your 2019 the right way! RSVP NOW and join us at the Chattanooga REIA Main Monthly Event from 6:30PM to 9:30PM on Thursday, February 7th at Hilton Garden Inn, Hamilton Place, 2343 Shallowford Village Pkwy, Chattanooga, TN.
