"How to Fix & Flip Houses the Right Way"
IMAN Cultural Center, 3376 Motor Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90034, USA, Los Angeles, CA, USFixing & Flipping Houses. Everyone dreams of flipping houses, but very few ever really do it. Why is that? Rehabs are fun and challenging, and the profits can be enormous. Plus, compared to other investments, you receive your profits in months (not years). So why don’t more people do it? The answer is simple; people don’t know how to get started. They don’t know where to turn, what to do, or who to trust. Well, stay tuned, because we have the answer.
Guest Speaker. The answer is Don Costa, our very special guest speaker at our October meeting. During his presentation, Don will cover four crucial topics: (1) How to find houses to flip, (2) How to finance your purchase, (3) How to rehab your property, and (4) How to flip your house quickly for fun and profit. Specifically, Don will be discussing:
- Finding the perfect flip
- Funding your rehabs the right way
- Systems to manage your team & timeline
- Tips to cash flow as you grow
- Maximizing your exit (getting the most profit out of each flip)
If you’re already fixing and flipping houses, or just getting started, you’re going to love Don’s presentation! Don is going to explain why “fixing & flipping” is the most lucrative (and most fun) strategy in real estate investing. Plus, he has plenty of real estate experiences and examples to share with you. Most importantly, he has actually done it with hundreds of rehabs in California’s competitive market. Don is going to show you how to get started and be successful.
Date & Time: Thursday night, October 8, 2026, 6:30 to 9:30 pm.
Location: River Ridge Country Club, 2401 W. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, CA 93036.
Free Admission: Admission to our meetings is always FREE (complimentary), but reservations are recommended.
