REI Renovations: Top 5 Dos and Don'ts

SIGN UP HERE
If you’ve ever watched a rehab spiral—change orders, blown budgets, endless delays, and a finished product that still doesn’t sell or rent for what you projected—this event is built to stop that from happening.
In this session, we’ll break down the Top 5 Things to DO and the Top 5 Things to NOT DO when renovating a home for real estate investing. This is not HGTV fluff. This is the operator-level stuff that protects your numbers and keeps your project moving.

### What you’ll learn (the Do’s)

• How to set a rehab plan that matches the exit strategy (flip vs rental vs BRRRR) so you don’t over-improve or under-deliver
• How to build a real scope of work that contractors can price accurately (and you can enforce)
• How to control costs with smart material choices that still look “retail-ready”
• How to set up timelines, draw schedules, and checkpoints so you aren’t paying for “invisible progress”
• How to inspect work like an investor—not like a homeowner—so quality is right without wasting money

### What you’ll avoid (the Don’ts)

• The #1 budget killer: “starting demo without a finished plan”
• Hiring mistakes that create delays, theft, and rework (even with “nice” contractors)
• Upgrades that don’t raise ARV or rent enough to justify the cost
• Permitting and code surprises that can shut a job down mid-stream
• Death-by-change-order and how to prevent it before it starts

### Who this is for

• Newer investors doing their first 1–5 rehabs
• Investors who’ve already been burned and want a tighter system
• Wholesalers and agents who want to understand rehab reality (so they don’t misjudge deals)
• Anyone managing contractors and trying to protect profit margins

### What you’ll walk away with

You’ll leave with a simple, repeatable framework you can use on every rehab: plan it, price it, control it, and finish it clean—without getting taken for a ride.
