Hello everyone! Just a reminder that we have our next networking event next Saturday, November 4th! It will be at 10:00 but location is TBD. I will find a property currently on the market, and local investor Karen Downs is going to walk us through how she estimates rehab costs for wholesaling. She has local knowledge of materials/labor costs, what the inspectors are sticky on, and she is going to share the form she uses to capture all the data. I will announce the location Friday! It should be in Ocean View or close by. Look in the most recent even thread for the location, or write me here to get the address. See you there, wherever it may be!

Hey everybody! We decided to take our meetup to the streets for November! We will be meeting at a location TBD in the Ocean View area. It is TBD because I will have to find a home on the market that will be a good house to estimate rehab costs, and one that the listing agent is ok with us going to as a group for a learning experience. I will post the location on the 3rd. Don't miss this opportunity to hear how the pros estimate rehab costs for wholesale, to hear about the local market costs and potential issues, and to snag the form they use to run the numbers. See you there!

Hey, ya'll! I need to get better at collecting emails and phone numbers for future events and groups. If you would like to be included in future event mailings and details, please email me at [email protected] to get on the list. I'll be posting the next event soon! Next month we will be taking a field trip to a HUD home to evaluate rehab costs...I'll be posting the event soon!
Thanks!

I have walked through this one twice. Be super careful of the historical aspects of this bear! My rehab estimate was closer to $200k+. I did get the exact same ARV for summer comps. Expect to get less in the winter months and to hold longer at that price point. I wish you success.
