“You never run out of things that can go wrong.” ~ Murphy’s Law

This month’s meeting will be a Panel Discussion on “Good Deals Gone Band & What to Do About It When It Happens!”. If you’ve ever done a real estate deal, you know, sooner or later something it going to go wrong. Whether it’s a problem with your seller, your buyer, the house, the title, the contractors, permits, variances, something you overlooked, etc, things will go wrong. It’s not a matter of IF they will go wrong, but WHEN they will go wrong.

“When things go wrong, don’t go with them.” You have to be strong and be prepared to deal with them. If you don’t, the problems will quickly multiply and overwhelm you and cost you a lot of time, frustration, sanity and money.

How do we know? Cause we’ve all been there and we each deal with it in our own way. Please come join us on March 6th at Flip Chicks and hear from other local rehabbers who’ve been there and done that. Dee Adewunmi, Georgette Black, Jeanette Davis & Demond Smith will share some of their trials and tribulations that they have experienced, are currently experiencing and what they did or are doing to overcome them. RSVP NOW and come join us to learn how to avoid and/or deal with costly problems!

Don’t Miss This All Day Workshop
with Don DeRosa
Sat, March 14th from 9AM-5PM
3125 Presidential Pkwy, Atlanta, GA

Don DeRosaWhen it comes to running a profitable real estate investing business, it’s all about knowing your numbers. If you’re off on your numbers, you may barely break even on a deal or even worse… lose big time!

You’ve probably heard the saying… “You make your money when you buy and you get paid when you sell”. This means YOU MUST KNOW YOUR NUMBERS BEFORE YOU BUY SO THAT YOU WILL GET PAID WHEN YOU SELL!

So when it comes to knowing your numbers…

  • Do you know how to really determine if you are buying a good deal or not?
  • Do you know if you’re paying too much?
  • Do you know how much profit you’re going to make?
  • Do you know how to do all your due diligence before you buy and what to look for?
  • Do you know how to accurately determine the AS-IS value of an ugly house?
  • Do you know After Repair Value (ARV) of a property for a buy and hold vs a fix and flip (or a high end rehab vs a low end rehab)?
  • Do you know how to accurately determine repairs and estimate repair costs before you buy?
  • Are you totally comfortable using the numbers your buyer or sellers give you when working a deal?
  • Do you know how to quickly run the numbers like a pro?
  • Do you know the other types of due diligence you must do before you ever close on a deal?

If you answered “NO” to any of these questions, unfortunately you may be going to a real life, expensive, school of hard knocks seminar very soon if your not extremely careful!

Instead of learning these valuable due diligence skills the hard and expensive way, be sure to attend the upcoming, highly affordable, Due Diligence Workshop with Don DeRosa on Saturday, March 14th, 2020 from 9AM to 5PM at the 3125 Presidential Pkwy, Atlanta, GA.
