It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life.

A free Columbus real estate meetup for new and growing investors who want to understand how rehabs actually work - from making the offer and estimating repairs to managing contractors, change orders, punch lists, and project closeout. **FREE TICKET**🎟️: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/considering-flipping-a-house-learn-the-rehab-process-before-losing-money-tickets-1992400035139?aff=meetup A lot of new investors want to flip houses… But most people have no idea what actually happens after they get a property under contract. How do you know what to offer? How do you estimate repairs without guessing? When should you bring in contractors? How do you know if the ARV is right? Should you DIY the work, hire subcontractors, or use a GC? How do you keep a rehab from going over budget? And what do you do when change orders, delays, inspections, or buyer repair requests pop up? That’s exactly what we’re breaking down at this month’s Columbus real estate meetup. The July meetup is focused on rehabbing — especially for newer investors, aspiring flippers, wholesalers who want to understand their buyers better, and anyone who wants to learn how rehab projects are actually managed from start to finish. We’ll walk through the full rehab process step by step: Offer → Contract → Inspections → Final Underwriting → Financing → Closing → Preconstruction → Construction Management → Project Closeout → Listing → Negotiation → Remedy Requests → Final Close We’ll simplify the process so you understand what needs to happen, when it needs to happen, and where investors usually lose money. The biggest emphasis will be on preliminary underwriting, final underwriting, contractor management, invoicing, project check-ins, change orders, punch lists, and project closeout. You do not need to be an experienced flipper to attend. This room is built for people who want to learn, ask questions, meet the right people, and understand the process before making expensive mistakes. ## What We’ll Cover * How to think through your first rehab before jumping in * The step-by-step process from offer to final closing * How to avoid guessing on repairs and ARV * What preliminary underwriting means and why it matters * What final underwriting looks like after inspections * How to decide between DIY, subcontracting, or hiring a GC * How to manage contractors without getting taken advantage of * How invoices, draws, and project check-ins should work * What change orders are and how they can destroy your budget * How to handle punch lists and project closeout * Common mistakes new rehabbers make and how to avoid them * Why prepaying contractors, bad ARVs, and loose scopes of work can kill a deal ## Who This Is For This meetup is for: * New investors thinking about flipping their first house * Newbie rehabbers who want to understand the process better * Wholesalers who want to learn how rehab buyers think * Realtors who want to work with investors or understand investment deals * Contractors and vendors who serve local investors * Private lenders and hard money lenders * Experienced investors who want to connect with the local market * Anyone who wants to get into real estate investing but does not know where to start Whether you are brand new, working on your first deal, actively wholesaling, already investing, or just trying to understand how rehabs work, this meetup will help you get in the room with the right people. ## Event Details Date: Tuesday, July 30th Time: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM Doors Open: 5:30 PM Location: Ohio Brewing Company Address: 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 Cost: Free to attend Food & Drinks: Free food and free drinks provided ## Why Attend Most people learn rehabbing the expensive way. They buy the deal, guess on repairs, trust the wrong contractor, underestimate the budget, overpay up front, miss the ARV, and then wonder where the profit went. This meetup is designed to help you understand the process before you make those mistakes. You’ll learn how experienced investors think through rehab projects, what steps matter most, and how to protect yourself before and during a project. You’ll also get to connect with local investors, wholesalers, lenders, contractors, realtors, vendors, and people who are actively building in the Columbus real estate space. If you want to flip houses, wholesale better deals, lend on projects, or simply understand how rehabs work, this is a room you want to be in. Seats are free, but registration is required. **FREE TICKET**🎟️: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/considering-flipping-a-house-learn-the-rehab-process-before-losing-money-tickets-1992400035139?aff=meetup

Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on. That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable. In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork. This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it. We’ll cover: * Why “it looks good” is not enough * How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints * How to compare LLM outputs more systematically * Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness * How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results * Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
