You as an investor, have found what you believe to be a great deal. You have talked to the seller, they have told you their story and you really want to help them. After all, it is one of the most important ideals that we try to impart on our members at Chattanooga REIA.
Wait! Don't do a deal just because you can do a deal. You may want to help homeowners who may be in trouble, but if you work against the numbers in this deal, you may be taking the place of the homeowner in the quicksand, and it can be a very costly endeavor that you find yourself in.
At BIG Chattanooga on Thursday June 21st, we will have as our guest, Mr Larry Harbolt from the Tampa, Florida area who will give us a talk on how NOT to put yourself in the Quicksand.

- Houses You May Want To Avoid
- What a Really Good Deal Looks Like
- How to Overcome Your Fear Of Talking To Sellers
- Answers To Your Questions and Much More

Larry has been successful creatively buying and selling real estate for over 35 years and has written numerous popular articles and real estate courses.
Larry is so respected in the industry that NBA Super Star, Shaquille O’Neill has purchased his courses and he is one of only two real estate teachers whose works have ever been inducted into the Library of Congress.

"Why Fixing & Flipping Is Better Than Wholesaling" with Ramon Tookes at Chattanooga REIA, June 7th
By Chattanooga REIA on May 31, 2018
With Special Guest, Ramon Tookes
Can Attend for NO CHARGE.
Basic & Not Yet Members Pay $15 at the Door.
As the market continues to get hotter and hotter, more investors are jumping in to take advantage of the trend. Some will be successful investors and others will not. That’s just the reality of the business. Many are not successful because they don’t have the proper resources. Many are not successful because they don’t have the proper training or guidance. Many are not successful because they don’t have the right plan and/or exit strategy.
What’s your plan and/or exit strategy for your real estate investment business? Is it buying and holding? Is it wholesaling? Is it fixing and flipping? All three are very good strategies when they’re used properly, but there is a “myth” that wholesaling is the best way to start investing… but this month’s speaker, Ramon Tookes, strongly disagrees!
Please RSVP and join us at the Chattanooga REIA Main Monthly Event on Thursday, June 7th starting from 6:30PM to 9:00PM at Hilton Garden Inn Hamilton Place located at 2343 Shallowford Village Dr, Chattanooga, TN, and Ramon will show you why “Fixing and Flipping” is much better than wholesaling. If you don’t believe it, come out and see Ramon and he will show you why he strongly believes this is true and why you should too.
Join us and you will learn…
- Why most people feel like Wholesaling is the best place to begin in real estate investing… They ARE WRONG!
- Why Most people feel like Fixing and Flipping is too risky… They ARE WRONG!!
- Why most people don’t know how to be truly be successful at either Wholesaling or Fixing and Flipping
- How Fixing and Flipping offers a much bigger profit spread
- How Fix & Flips offer more control of the entire deal
- How Fix & Flips allows you to work on a smaller number of properties and make more profit per year
- Answers to your questions and much more!
Here is your chance to learn the difference between Fixing & Flipping VS Wholesaling. If you have been feeling stuck or unsure of where to take your real estate investing ventures, RSVP NOW, JOIN US, and when you walk away, you will feel educated and even inspired to help more people solve their real estate problems!
Ramon Tookes is a real estate investor, coach, author, wealth builder, public speaker, radio celebrity and developer with 20+ years of experience in the industry. Ramon currently oversees the daily operations of The Tookes Group, a firm that he founded in 2005, specializing in real estate investment consulting.

If you have been involved with real estate investing, even for a short time, you have heard about Flipping.
As a special treat for our Chattanooga area investors, we have as our special guest speaker, Flipping expert Roger Blankenship at our Main Monthly Event on Thursday April 5th, Roger will tell his story of how he started investing in 2002 out of curiosity, then became a full-time investor in 2006 out of desperation, made millions, lost it all and then re-made it again. Along the way he learned several lessons about real estate, business, and life. He shares them with you in a unique mix of candor, humor, practical insights, and actionable steps.
Roger is going to tell you how you can make $5000 in the next 30 days, even if you have never done a deal before. Perhaps you’ve ventured into real estate investing only to get hit with roadblocks you can't get around. Analysis takes knowledge. Deals take money. Pulling the trigger requires a special kind of courage that can only come when you combine the right ingredients for success.
Roger knows the ingredients and he knows how to combine them for success. He will tell you, having done over 800+ deals, he’s made just about every mistake in the book, but he kept a good list of those mistakes so you can avoid them!
Come join us at Chattanooga REIA on Thursday, April 5th, and spend an unforgettable evening hearing Roger’s roller coaster ride to real estate prosperity! RSVP NOW & DON"T MISS IT!
Roger Blankenship is the “Flipping America Guy.” He’s host of the nationally syndicated real estate show, “Flipping America,” author, educator, motivational and inspirational speaker, and business leader. He is a member of several professional real estate organizations and is part of the Forbes Magazine Real Estate Council. Roger is a unique and visionary leader with a broad background in corporate and nonprofit leadership and a lifelong history of entrepreneurial ventures. His corporate career gave him a strong background in staff development, cost management, process evaluation and work-flow improvements. His skills in curricular design, strategic planning and vision-casting have allowed him to help many companies develop new approaches and new products.
