You will also hear from John Adams, often called “Atlanta’s most trusted voice in real estate.” As a sophomore at Atlanta’s Emory College in 1973, Adams was assigned a class project to study the feasibility of a run-down apartment complex.
He located a tired 38-unit property, bought it for a thousand dollars down, received an “A” for the semester and has never looked back. Today, Adams owns and manages close to 50 residential units, including houses, apartments, condos, resort properties and two commercial buildings.
Adams said he sees the current flood in lender REO property as the opportunity of a lifetime for any investor looking to build long-term wealth, and he knows this because he’s done it successfully for more than 30 years.
He is a founder and director of Decatur First Bank in DeKalb County, and writes a weekly column about real estate for the Sunday Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Adams is a 20-year veteran of Atlanta talk radio, where he can be heard weekends on 920 AM WGKA.
As Adams says: “For most Americans, owning real estate is the best investment they have ever made.”
Adams will make two presentations on Thursday, Dec. 4.
Locating funding for your business will be one of the greatest challenges in 2009. Be sure to attend these two presentations so that you are prepared to raise the capital you need to make 2009 your best year ever.
