Plan Your Rehab Right: Online Intensive Workshop with Jerry Fink
·OnlineOnlineVirtually walk through a real rehab and learn how to create a scope of work (you'll even create one!) to finding, hiring, and managing the contractors so that you can make more money and take less risk with your rehabs. Jerry Fink is your instructor.
** REGISTRATION AT KREIA.COM REQUIRED **
How to Walk a Property Like a Pro, Bulletproof Your Scope of Work, And Manage Contractors Without Losing Your Mind
With Jerry Fink
Rehabbing properties — whether you're keeping them as rentals or flipping them for profit — is one of the fastest ways to build wealth in real estate.
It's also one of the fastest ways to lose it.
In today's market, there's no 2021-style appreciation to bail you out if you overpay, underestimate repairs, or let a rehab drag on for months.
Sound familiar?
"I paid too much because I didn't know how much work the property really needed.""Holding costs ate up my profit because the rehab took way longer than expected."
"My contractor kept changing things, and the rehab ended up costing $25,000 more than I budgeted."
If you've ever said one of those — or you're determined never to — this workshop could save you thousands of dollars on your very next project.
We've brought in Jerry Fink, an active rehabber, landlord, and real estate investor with more than 35 years of experience, to show you exactly how successful investors plan profitable rehabs before the first hammer swings.
During this workshop, you'll:
Spend the morning virtually walking through a real rehab project, to see how experienced investors decide exactly what work should — and shouldn't — be done.Build a professional Scope of Work (SOW) from scratch using the same process successful rehabbers use to create accurate budgets.
Learn how to use your SOW to negotiate with contractors, eliminate misunderstandings, and dramatically reduce costly change orders.
Discover how milestone payments protect both you and your contractor while keeping the project moving on schedule.
See how your Scope of Work and contractor agreement work together to keep your rehab under control — and give you leverage if things don't go according to plan.
You'll also receive valuable tools you can use immediately, including:
An Excel Scope of Work template you can use for everything from complete rehabs to simple rental turnovers.A detailed contractor agreement that clearly defines expectations, payment schedules, deadlines, and includes important protections such as penalties for late completion.
A contractor screening checklist that helps you objectively evaluate contractors before you hire them.
A recording of the entire workshop for your permanent real estate library.
The workshop will be recorded, and all registrants get the recording, so register even if you can't attend live…
Your investment is only $47 through July 9 if you're a member ($67 after), or $97 through July 9 if you're not ($127 after).
(But since membership in KREIA is only $125/year, it makes far more sense to join, save $50 immediately, and get access to all of the benefits KREIA offers!)
By the way, there is pre-work for this class: an on-demand class with Jerry that teaches you how to do an initial walk-through of a property and estimate repair costs. You'll need to download this class and the repair cost cheat sheet BEFORE you attend the Saturday workshop, so register NOW to get your head start!
This will systematize the way you plan your rehabs — and we're so confident that you'll see that the bonus materials alone are worth more than the price of admission—that if you don’t, we'll gladly refund your tuition.
