Evaluating Repairs and Avoiding Common Remodeling Pitfalls

Wednesday Jan 3, 2018 at 6pm - Cloverleaf Bar and Grill
Knowing how to estimate and evaluate repairs is one of the most important skills you can develop as a real estate investor. Being proficient with this will help give you leverage in negotiations and can make or break your deal. John DiPietro, project manager for Washington Home Solutions will be sharing his 40+ years of construction experience by showing how you can conduct a pre-purchase walkthrough and identify what needs to be fixed, and how to fix it.

John will share several examples of remodeling work that has been done correctly, as well as other examples that will have you saying “WTF were they thinking?!?” You definitely don’t want to miss this meeting, so be sure to pre-register to reserve your spot!

Doors open at 6pm for networking, and to order dinner. Meeting begins at 6:30pm.  Go HERE to pre-register.  REAPS members are always free and first time guests can use the coupon code GUEST to get in free as well.  Hope to see you there!!

Do you have your sights set on becoming a real estate developer but don't know where to start? Join us on Thursday July 6th at the Kitsap Conference Center in Bremerton as we welcome REAPS member and Bremerton local Clinton Bergeron who will share his story of going from residential re-modeler to full-fledged real estate developer.

Clinton jumped into the development game with both feet last year with a land purchase in Manette which he split into 5 lots. This land purchase has quickly morphed into the new construction homes now known as the SoundView Cottages of Manette. If you've spent any time in the area you've undoubtedly seen them, and even though construction is not yet complete, he has pre-sold four of the five properties already!

Clinton will talk about what it took to make the leap into land development, along with the joys and challenges that come with it.

Even if becoming a developer may be far in your future plans, you'll also learn how you can find opportunities that you can pass along to developers and make 5 and 6-figure checks doing so.

Be sure to invite a friend, members and 1st time guests get in free.  We have a buffet dinner which is only $15 including tax and gratuity.. Beer and wine will also be available for purchase.

If you're coming from Seattle, you can walk on the 4:20pm or 5:35pm Seattle-Bremerton ferry. Passenger fare is $8.20 heading to Bremerton and FREE coming back to Seattle!

Hi Travis, I know it can be frustrating competing with other investors on the MLS. I haven't bought a listed property for about 5 years, its just too crazy trying to compete. Everything we get now is off-market and at the moment we're wholesaling a fair amount in Bremerton right now. Send me a PM and let's talk.
