No problem - will do. It was a great event. over 65 attended. I will send an announcement prior to the next workshop - probably in 2-3 weeks at another of my Washington DC properties.

Joe

Great. Hope to see you there. Based on past experience over 60 people typically attend so it will be a great opportunity to learn and network with like minded people.

Greetings:

I hope all is well and circumstances are favorable.

As promised and per many people’s request, I will hold another free event at one my recently completed NE Washington DC rehab projects next Sunday, October 9, 2016 at 3pm. The house is located opposite Kenilworth Park in the Eastland Gardens neighborhood of NE Washington - a quiet, well-established and very desirable part of NE DC. This neighborhood is truly one of those hidden gems scattered around Washington DC and is destined for growth.

Looking back on this major $160,000 rehab, I can confidently say there were many lessons learned in the course of completing this project and I am looking forward to sharing some of these experiences next Sunday.

Since the last rehab workshop was very successful, I am proposing to repeat the format of Sunday’s workshop to include more time for networking and interaction amongst attendees. The proposed format will be as follows:

• 1.Welcome and property walk-thru: You are encouraged to conduct an informal room-by-room walk-thru and to check out the house

• 2.Education – Review how the property was located, financed, renovated, marketed and sold or rented. The focus will be on providing practical real world information about the nuts and bolts of this project along with the good, bad, ugly and lessons learned

• 3.Light refreshments and networking: Meet, greet and mingle – socialize and network with like-minded people that are interested in real estate investing and are striving for financial independence. Meet new contacts and do business. Whether you’re an investor (beginner, intermediate or seasoned), service provider (e.g. realtor, contractor, lender, appraiser, home inspector, architect, attorney, property manager etc.) or just trying to “figure it out” there will be attendees that can help you and/or who you can do business with.

As you can see from the link below, we were able to transform this house into a beautiful home.

As part of the marketing campaign for this project, we produced professional grade virtual tours of the house in its before and after condition.

Before: http://properties.houselens.com/34365/1205+4th+Street+NE%2C+DC+20019

After: http://properties.houselens.com/44419/1205+40th+St+NE%2C+Washington+DC+20019

Since this is a buy and hold property (i.e. a long term portfolio rental), – during Sunday’s workshop, I will discuss, amongst other things, why this exit strategy was chosen and some of my landlording strategies.

Similar to the last meeting, the primary workshop goal is to share insights along with the nuts and bolts of how the property was located, financed, rehabbed, marketed and rented. I will discuss the good, the bad and the ugly along with many lessons learned – and there are lots.

Come meet and network with other like-minded people. The session is free and will be 100% education – there are no hidden agendas and no selling.

The house is in a rapidly transforming section of Washington DC. Based on the as-is condition, most investors were intimidated. It follows the competition was limited and we were able to buy it at a very reasonable price. 

The rehab was approximately $130K. The house is now worth about $575K. Due to the location, we have decided to keep it as a portfolio rental property for appreciation, tax, cash flow and equity build-up.

Definitely there were many lessons learned about this project especially in the arena of financing, renovating and tenant selection perspectives. I will try and detail some of these in another post or article.

 I hope the above helps.

Joe

Hello Everyone:

As promised and per many people’s request, I will hold another free event at one my recently completed NW Washington DC rehab projects this Sunday, May January 22nd, 2016 at 3pm. The house is located in the Columbia Heights neighborhood - a rapidly changing community that is experiencing dramatic growth.

FYI, this is the really ugly house in NW I mentioned a few months ago that required a major renovation. Now that the rehab is complete and a tenant located, I can confidently say there were many lessons learned in the course of completing this project and I am looking forward to sharing some of these experiences next Sunday.

As mentioned at the last rehab workshop, I am proposing to modify the format of Sunday’s workshop to include more time for networking and interaction amongst attendees. The proposed format will be as follows:

• 1.Welcome and property walk-thru: You are encouraged to conduct an informal room-by-room walk-thru and to check out the house

• 2.Education – Review how the property was located, financed, renovated, marketed and sold or rented. The focus will be on providing practical real world information about the nuts and bolts of this project along with the good, bad, ugly and lessons learned

• 3.Light refreshments and networking: Meet, greet and mingle – socialize and network with like-minded people that are interested in real estate investing and are striving for financial independence. Meet new contacts and do business. Whether you’re an investor (beginner, intermediate or seasoned), service provider (e.g. realtor, contractor, lender, appraiser, home inspector, architect, attorney, property manager etc.) or just trying to “figure it out” there will be attendees that can help you and/or who you can do business with.
