Join us for a night of deals and investor education! I personally teach this class with my managing partner, Will Heaton. We'll give you examples of our personal fix and flips, buy & holds, commercial real estate, and multi-family investments. It's the perfect opportunity to ask any questions, and learn from some of our mistakes! We started our company 10 years ago, at the beginning we averaged 10 flips per year, now we do over 100 per year. With a decade of business under our belts, we've been a part of over 2,500 real estate transactions in the local market.

I hope to see you there!

Are you looking to get into real estate but not sure where to start? Come learn from my mistakes! I teach a class every two weeks for new investors.  I focus on my experience in the local area, and how I built my business from doing 10 flips per year, to over 100 per year.  Additionally, I've added material on cash flow and multi-family investments.  Even if you've been to a class before, it's worth coming back for the new material! 

Hope to see you there!

Post: Fix and Flip in Seattle

Investment Info:

Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

Purchase price: $310,000
Cash invested: $90,000
Sale price: $549,950

This home needed a lot of work! The location was good, and I was confident that I could get all of the work done, at a decent quality for a negotiable price. As Seattle continues to grow, people are pushing further outside the city and looking for affordable houses. This one could go on the market at a decent price and comparables in the neighborhood were selling well.

How did you finance this deal?

I used a hard money loan from Intrust Funding.

How did you add value to the deal?

This was a studs-out remodel. The house had a good skeletal structure, but everything else needed to go. The kitchen is a huge selling point on a house, a lot of the reno budget went towards updating all the appliances, and giving the space a nice clean feel.

What was the outcome?

The outcome was great! I made a profit on the property, and it went pretty smoothly!

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I always work with Intrust Funding for my hard money loans.

Thinking about getting into real estate but you don't know where to start? Have you been browsing the chat forums, but feel overwhelmed with information?  If you answered yes, then this class is for you! I teach Investor 101 twice per month at my office.  I enjoy teaching this class because it's a chance to talk face to face with people who are passionate about real estate.  I know how hard it is to get started in real estate, and I teach this class to help other people avoid making some of the mistakes that I made when I was building my business. 

Come join my class and I'll answer all of your questions, show you real examples of my own investments, and help you network with the people who can help you achieve your real estate goals. I hope to see you there!
