As you know, it’s a proven fact that real estate has created more millionaires than any other investment in history, so what’s stopping you from being the next real estate multi-millionaire? Don’t know how or where to get started? Don’t know how to find good deals? Don’t know how to analyze a deal if you find one? Don’t have funding?

The good news is… Wholesaling Houses is a simple, fun and highly profitable way to get started investing in real estate without a lot of training, experience, cash or cred. You can quickly learn to wholesale houses in any real estate market and can often complete many of these deals, from start to finish in a few days or weeks. This means you can often get paid thousands of dollars in 30 Days or less!

The Panel will consist of David Minor of Vesado, Ryan Groff of New Western Acquisitions, Rex Gaugh, and Lawrence Malloy of Ethical Home Buyers. These gentlemen will teach you everything you need to know about wholesaling like a pro and answer all your questions during the meeting. The panel will discuss…

  • What is a Wholesaler vs a Bird Dog?
  • What is Wholesaling and how does it work?
  • What is Co-Wholesaling and how does it work?
  • How has the Wholesale Market changed over the past year?
  • How to find deals with the best profit potential
  • How to determine value of properties
  • How to determine cost of repairs
  • How to negotiate the deal
  • How to offer all cash even if you have no cash
  • How to complete the paperwork
  • How to find a buyer
  • How to close quickly and get paid
  • Wholesaling pros and cons
  • Answers to YOUR questions and more!

Saturday, May 12th from 9AM-1PM
1821 22nd Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL

Don DeRosaWhen it comes to real estate investing, 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 MUST KNOW YOUR NUMBERS!

So when it comes to knowing your numbers…

  • Do you know how to really determine if you are buying a good deal or not?
  • How do you know if you’re paying too much?
  • How 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?
  • 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?

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!

Instead of learning these valuable due diligence skills the hard and expensive way, be sure to attend the upcoming Estimating Repairs “In the Field” Workshop with Don DeRosa on Saturday, May 12th, 2018 from 9AM to 1PM at 1821 22nd Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL.
