Some Investor Meetings for Tonight!
I’ve been getting a lot of calls and emails asking me if I know of any investor meetings in the area, and my answer was “Of Course!” I value all my connections I make at these meetings and I encourage everyone to go out and network. I would say most of my business and the success I’ve had has been through networking with like-minded people.
So if you’re serious about growing your business connections check out the following investor meetings:
Orange County: Investors Workshops – Featuring Mike Cantu as the Guest Speaker. I can’t say enough great things about Shawn Watkins and Mike. If you’re in the OC, be sure to stop by tonight at the Double Tree in Orange.
Los Angeles: For all you L.A. folk, there’s a place where you need to be to be: Sam’s Real Estate Club! I spoke there at the meeting last month and the connections I made there were incredible! Starts tonight at the Beverly Hills Country Club.
Happy Networking!
Upcoming Wholesaling Class – October 1st

Well folks, it’s less than 2 weeks until the next wholesaling bootcamp! I’m very excited to share all the great strategies that are working in today’s market. My team and I are in the trenches everyday and know what’s working and not working. The market is changing and it’s important that you change along with it.
This class is great for those beginners who want to get into real estate and for seasoned rehabbers who want to get better at finding deals. Not to mention all the great networking and team building that will happen at the event.

My First L.A. Rehab Story…
Well folks my first hands-on Los Angeles rehab is finally complete and ready to close escrow in 8 days! It’s been a long, challenging few months, but it has also been a tremendous – and PROFITABLE- learning experience! I definitely took on a big project that would scare a lot of seasoned investors, but I’m fearless like that! Actually it was the solid numbers and great neighborhood that made it easy for me to decide to do this project. Not to mention my pleasure in seeing a house that was about to be condemned by the city transform into a house so pretty that the buyers want to hold their wedding there!
Before Rehab
After Rehab
This property had great potential structurally and profit wise. WARNING: You are about to see some serious bragging: A wholesaler we found through craigslist brought this property to our attention. This property was about to be demolished by the city and a $40,000 lien put against it. The seller had inherited the property from her aunt and didn’t want to deal with this. The wholesaler was selling this to us for $165,000, but after looking at the condition of the property we negotiated it down to $110,000, which included a $20,000 wholesale fee. At that time the comparable sales were about $400,000 and we estimated repairs at $85,000. The final numbers: repairs were $150,000 and final sale price $515,000. So what could have been a serious drop in our profit was more than cushioned by the recent “bubble” in the neighborhood. All the partners involved in this project are happy with the outcome and are ready to do some more!
I’ve been asked what lessons I’ve learned from this project. There are so many so I may just create another post about that; however, my biggest lesson was to ALWAYS work by the numbers and not the emotion of the project. Even if we had sold at our original $400,000 estimate we still would have made a nice profit anyway.
How about you? What has been some of your recent accomplishments and/or lessons learned from real estate?
