Plan & Manage Your Rehab Right — A MAREI Master Class with Jerry Fink
·OnlineOnline⚠️ NOTE: RSVPing here does NOT get you a link — you'll need to register at our website to do that. Details below.
Every successful rehab starts long before the demo begins. It starts with a plan.
Too many investors lose thousands of dollars because they underestimate repairs, overpay contractors, allow endless change orders, or simply don't know how to put together a professional Scope of Work.
In today's market, there's no huge appreciation to cover expensive mistakes. You have to get it right from the beginning.
That's exactly what you'll learn in this hands-on online workshop with veteran investor Jerry Fink, who's been rehabbing and managing rental properties for more than 35 years.
During this workshop you'll learn how to:
- Evaluate a property like an experienced rehabber during a morning "virtual walkthrough" of a real house
- Create a professional Scope of Work that becomes the blueprint for your entire rehab
- Build accurate budgets before you buy
- Negotiate more effectively with contractors
- Prevent costly misunderstandings and change orders
- Use milestone payments to keep projects on schedule and under control
You'll also receive templates and forms you can use on your very next project—an Excel Scope of Work template, a detailed contractor agreement, and a contractor screening checklist.
The workshop is recorded, and all registrants receive the recording, so register even if you can't attend live.
Yes, there's a fee—but it's as little as $47 for MAREI Members by the early bird date, and it's backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Whether you're planning your first rehab or your fiftieth, this workshop gives you practical systems you can use immediately to protect your profits.
⚠️ Again: RSVPing here on Meetup does NOT get you your link. Register at MAREI.org/Calendar for full details and to sign up.
