Madison REIA Investor Round Table: Case Study!

I will be talking about how I flipped my first house this year after evaluating and restructuring my business in real estate investing since my start in 2016; the challenges I faced - particularly lack of time, lack of negotiating skills, difficulty with contractors and material shortages along with a rural market. Plus I'm an introvert.

How I got this deal?

My challenges:

  • Full time plus job
  • Negotiating
  • Getting contractors and contracts
  • Material shortages
  • Learning curves
  • What helped me get the deal closed and flip completed/sold
  • Current deals and next steps

Doors always open at 5:30pm (networking) and meeting starts at 6pm and ends at 8:00pm.

Speaker: Jaci Gilbertson

Round Table Case Study speaker, Jaci Gilbertson found success in rural South Central/Western Wisconsin this year with her first deal after working with coaches, Chris Hake and Tim Dougherty in the Madison REIA Mastermind Coaching Program. Jaci will discuss how she was able to find success even with challenges of contractors; delay in materials; working a full time job; and how she is working on her journey toward greater success in her real estate career and life.

She has been doing real estate since 2016 purchasing 7 properties since, three of which have been within the last six months; and has attended multiple bootcamps, seminars and webinars. Jaci is a lifelong learner from both the school of “life” and traditional avenues of learning with owning/operating a bowling alley/bar/restaurant with her husband, Jason, for 18 years as well as raising two sons while also completing her bachelor's degree.

Think Like a Lender, Be a Better Borrower!

Have you ever wondered how lenders think? Well, here’s your chance to get inside the head of a lender (it’s a scary place- lol). Come prepared to ask questions. All your lender questions will get answered.

Here’s what we’re going to cover:

  1. Experience. Why it matters and how to get some (even if you’re brand new).
  2. Deal Analysis. What does a lender look for in the numbers?
  3. Comps. Why does accuracy matter?
  4. Profitability. Why your profits matter to the lender’s success.
  5. Reserves. What are they and why they matter? What will your lender look for?
  6. Attitude. When you talk to a lender, how to best present yourself and the deal.
  7. Credibility Package. What is it and why will it put you higher on the lenders list?
  8. Plus, more. Much more…

Speaker: Jeff Cichocki

Introduction to a Mastermind Group!

  • What is a mastermind group?
  • Have you wanted to be a part of a mastermind group?
  • Have you ever wanted to sit in on one and see what it’s all about?

Come to the next WiscoREIA Kenosha Meetup and experience a mastermind session where we will give you the chance to become a Participant or a Spectator. Participate and see the magic of having your personal Board of Directors! Brainstorm and tell the room where you are at with your business, what you are struggling with, what you need help with, how to get to the next level, and the BOD will speak into your life and business.

You will have your own personal Board of Directors deliver knowledge, experience, and suggestions on what you need to do to take it to the next level, how to get you unstuck, or how to remove you as the ceiling in your own business.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity!

What to expect:

This meeting will be a mock mastermind group that we will set up for you to be able to take away nuggets that you can use and apply immediately to change your life and/or your business and start to understand what a mastermind group is.

The most successful people in this business are all part of mastermind groups and most are part of several. They pay tens of thousands of dollars per year to be part of these groups and they all have a return on investment otherwise they wouldn't consider joining. A huge part of their success has to do with networking with the right people. Businesses are formed and businesses are sold, deals are done within these groups and it's also where you will move towards your next level of education and where your next big idea and strategy comes from.

We will unveil the mystery and get you a behind-the-scenes look at what a highly functioning mastermind group looks like. Do NOT miss this opportunity!

Speaker: You are the speaker of this event! Join as a Participant or a Spectator.

DO NOT be intimidated by this event! Part of becoming a successful REI is drowning fear and developing courage.
