Learn and Practice Back of the Envelope Deal Analysis
2023-04-08 09:00 - 10:15 (America/Toronto) | Online event
**Analyzing Deals** and **Finding Deals** are the absolute bread and butter of this business, and are skills you need to develop, because you will use them EVERY DAY. There are lots of ways to do both, which mean there are a lot of potential rabbit holes to go down that take you nowhere. It takes time to learn the correct formulas, the correct resources to find accurate numbers, as well as practice, discipline, and, most importantly, YOUR plan and your strategies to achieve the results that you want.
During this session, we’ll highlight the importance of creating a plan, sticking to that plan, and how to analyze deals based on different strategies. As usual, we’ll provide you with a hotsheet of current opportunities to analyze, take a LIVE look at a deal or two, and teach you how to become an expert, and develop the discipline you need to become proficient at this critical skill.
As always, or sessions are fast paced, information filled, and we often have the benefit of other experienced investors on the call who share with us their tips, ideas, and methodology of DEAL ANALYSIS. We look forward to seeing g you there!
I cannot stress strongly enough the value of belonging to a supportive community like the A2REIC. Real estate investing is not easy, but it is made easier when you have encouragement, support, knowledge, and experience of fellow members to help you along your journey.

Rainmakers Subgroup: Finding Off Market Deals
2023-04-06 09:00 - 10:00 | Union Rec, 545 S Main St, Ann Arbor, MI, 48104, us
This group is gaining traction, and YOU’RE invited to join us! Here’s a sample of off market deals discussed at our most recent meeting
–A 16 Unit Apartment Building in Ypsilanti
–A 41 Unit Portfolio of turn-key SFR’s in Detroit.
–Properties in Hazel Park and Kalamazoo possibly heading to foreclosure by a Private Lender.
–A Target List of 278 Duplexes in Ann Arbor
–A FLIP opportunity in Dearborn Heights
–A FLIP in Saline purchased off market.
–A Distressed property in Pinckney possibly becoming available.
–An AirBnB Condo in Orlando, FL
At the table included: 2 REALTORS, 3 Private Lenders, 2 experienced Property Managers, and 6 ACTIVE Investors ready to buy. ALL great folks that are a positive addition to ANYONES Power Team.
You never know who will be at the table, what is on the menu on a given day, or who you might meet that can blossom into a great professional relationship. You must be present to win!
**The purpose of this Subgroup is twofold:**
1. **FINDING** Off Market Deals for members of the group.
2. **TEACHING** Members How to pursue off market deals on their own, to fill their deal pipeline.
The group is **NOT** about finding off market deals to pursue as a group venture.
The most active and aggressive (successful) investors hire their own people to pursue acquisitions. Our concept is to use the leverage of the 2200+ members of the A2REIC to create Leverage and find and pursue creative and effective ways to find off market deals.
**This Subgroup is for you:**
* **If you’re a FLIPPER looking for your next deal.**
* **If you’re a BRRRR investor looking for your next deal.**
* **If you’re a BUY & HOLD investor who wants to be more PROACTIVE.**
* **If you’re a WHOLESALER building your Pipeline**
* **If you want to MEET and NETWORK with other active investors.**
**We will TEACH you how to find deals by:**
* Cultivating Your Personal Sphere of Influence
* Growing Your Network Through the Investor Community
* Finding, Buying, and Marketing to Motivated Seller Lists
* Cataloging and Geographic Farming
* FOIA Requests
And more!
RAINMAKERS is a COLLABORATION between A2REIC and Dirty House Buyers, because we know the power of collaboration, which leads to leverage.
The plan is to meet (at least) 2X/ month, with online communication in between. You must be a VIP Member (or plan to join as a VIP) in order to participate in this Subgroup. You may attend one meeting before making your commitment.
**MEMBERSHIP**
I have a ONE TIME Membership Fee of $200, which compensates me for my time, expertise, and management of the group. Consider it an investment in yourself and your education. For the Fee, you get access to all classes, and unlimited coaching and consultation.

Learn to Write a Solid Investing Business Plan
2023-04-01 09:00 - 10:15 | Online event
A goal without a plan is just a wish. If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there. You wouldn’t build a house without a blueprint, why would you try and build a business without a plan?
Pick your cliche, but almost ALL successful investors have and follow a written plan. This session is for you if you’ve never written a plan, if you’ve written business plans for other businesses, but not real estate, if you’ve written a plan before, but it needs an overhaul.
This session is one of the most needed, because it creates the foundation for where and how all the other fundamentals fall into place.
During this session you’ll learn:
* How to Establish a Baseline
* How to Think in Terms of a Four Phase Career
* How to Create SMART Goals
* What Constitutes a Business Plan
* Time Management Skills
. . . and more
The session will be fast paced, information filled, and I will provide you with a Fill in the Blanks Template to help get you going.
I really hope you take advantage of this and the other subsequent Fundamentals classes.
If you’ve never attended any of our events, you are welcome to attend TWO classes free as my guest. Past that I expect you to engage with the group by becoming a VIP member, and making an investment in yourself with our very modest, ONE time, $200 membership fee.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Property Management 101: Learn the Dos and Dont's
2023-03-25 09:00 - 10:30 | Online event
Property management is much, much more than screening tenants, signing leases, and fighting over security deposits.
Each property is like its own business. You need to know how to manage that business PLUS a whole lot of legal restrictions and requirements unique to being a Landlord. There are also BAD Property Managers and GOOD Property Managers. We will challenge and teach you not only how to become a GOOD manager, but how to become a GREAT Manager, and in doing so, will contribute to future success that you may not realize.
During this fast paced and information filled 90 minute session, we’ll cover the following topics:
–The full and proper screening or testing of an applicant’s credit, criminal history, rental history and ability to pay.
–Lease contracting or accepting rent using legal documents approved for the area in which the property is located.
–Maintenance issues, Contractors, Building your Power Team.
–Fair Housing.
There are many facets to this profession, including managing the accounts and finances of the real estate properties, and participating in or initiating litigation with tenants, contractors and insurance agencies. Litigation is at times considered a separate function, set aside for trained attorneys. Although a person will be responsible for this in his/her job description, there may be an attorney working under a property manager. Special attention is given to landlord/tenant law and most commonly evictions, non-payment, harassment, reduction of pre-arranged services, and public nuisance are legal subjects that gain the most amount of attention from property managers. Therefore, it is a necessity that a property manager be current with applicable municipal, county, state and Federal Fair Housing laws and practices.

Learn About Duplexes, Triplexes, and Quads
2023-03-18 09:00 - 10:00 | Online event
Many folks in the real estate investing world believe that the fastest way to wealth is through a sustained and systematic approach through investing in residential two-to four-unit multi-family properties. Most investors also believe that these types of properties are the safest way to invest as well.
The reasons behind this are many, but basically, the reasons include, if you do it correctly: They require less out of pocket money than others, conventional lenders like to lend on these more, and that the potential upside of these are better. We’ll cover these ideas and more at this session.
In reality, as you might well imagine, that with these types of properties being the most popular, competition is tough. That is where NETWORKING through this Club, and creative deal finding and deal making strategies come into play. We’ll discuss those too.
Specifically, during this session, we’ll also cover: How to use REALTORS to your advantage, Finding and Analyzing properties, Due Diligence, Making Offers, and more! I look forward to seeing you there!

Hotsheet Analysis: Finding Deals on the MLS: Monday at 10AM
2023-03-13 10:00 - 10:45, 2023-02-27 10:00 - 10:45, 2023-02-13 10:00 - 10:45 | Online event
This session is focused on Analysis and Review of On Market Opportunities. Since more than 85% of all deals go through the Multiple List Service, you need to get a handle on how it works, and how you can be “in the loop.” This will be a fast paced, 45 minute Session, so you can learn and get on with your day.
Those who regularly attend the Saturday Laser Classes know that I provide a weekly hotsheet of MLS investment opportunities. Since these usually number in the hundreds, it can be intimidating and overwhelming to figure out a way to get your arms around them. Also, since the Saturday topic takes most of the session, we rarely have had the opportunity to do a deeper dive into current opportunities.
These sessions will provide actual opportunities, as well as TEACH you how to filter through them, and spot the good from the bad, and strategies to approach them. Coming to these sessions will also help you LEARN the pace of the market, how to find and use comparables, and more. We’ll even likely provide some Hyper Local Market reports, so that you can learn about different markets.
By coming to these sessions, you’ll be among the First to Know of properties as they hit the open market.
You will need to commit to becoming a VIP Member if you plan to attend on a regular basis.

2023-03-04 09:00 - 10:30 | Online event
Once you’ve **FOUND** a deal, and **ANALYZED** the deal, and are ready to buy, you need to **FUND** the deal.
We can’t provide everything you need to know about money in a 60 minute session, but we CAN introduce you to some of the ways the most successful investors use money, and help you learn and think about money in ways you might not have considered before. Also, during this session, we’ll introduce you to several Club members and others who can become great resources for you.
Specifically, during this session, you’ll Learn:
* The ways the most successful investors approach money.
* Different types of Financing.
* Conventional Lenders, Private Lenders, Hard Money Lenders
* How Leverage Works
* Resources, Connections to lenders, and much more. We look forward to seeing you there!

Negotiation 101
2023-02-25 09:00 - 10:30 | Online event
Negotiation is a lot more than “haggling,” and is one of the MOST valuable skills, yet LEAST taught when it comes to real estate investing. Negotiation is a fundamental skill, not only in real estate, but in life. Simply, you need it to get MORE of what you want – to sell more, keep costs down, get better deals, to manage better, to strengthen relationships, etc.
Negotiating is really where the rubber meets the road in making and closing the deal, and this session will give you a great overview of how to approach it.
**During this session, you’ll learn:**
* How to Build Relationships to Gain Leverage
* How to use Information to Your Advantage
* How to Overcome Objections, and propose win-win Outcomes.
* Strategies for Offers and Counteroffers.
* Using Concessions to Get to the Finish Line,
And much more . . .
As always, it will be fast-paced, information filled, and designed to teach you something you didn’t know before while networking, and connecting with other like minded investors. I hope you’ll join me
I cannot stress strongly enough the value of belonging to a supportive community like the A2REIC. Real estate investing is not easy, but it is made easier when you have encouragement, support, knowledge, and experience of fellow members to help you along your journey.
**Each Saturday Session is in TWO Parts:**
PART 1: Laser Class
PART 2: Hotsheet Discussion of NEW Inventory, Off Market Deals, and Leads.
As always, you’ll get the opportunity to NETWORK, make new connections, and build your Inner Circle and Power Team. I hope you’ll join us!

9:00-9:50 – Laser Class
9:50-10:10 – Speed Networking
10:10 – 10:30 – Deal or No Deal

**WHAT IS SPEED NETWORKING?**
Networking is Team Building, and you need to develop the discipline to communicate quickly and confidently. We TEACH you how to improve your Networking Skills while networking.
**WHAT IS DEAL OR NO DEAL?**
We’ll review the weekly Hotsheet of NEW Foreclosure and Multi Family listings NEW on the market, and select one of them for an “On the fly” LIVE analysis to determine whether or not it is a good opportunity or not, along with why or why not. It’s a great exercise to practice your analysis skills.

"Old Man's War" - John Scalzi
2023-02-19 14:00 - 16:00 | Online event
Hi everybody,
We’re looking forward to reading our second novel by John Scalzi. *Redshirts* was a fun romp with some big ideas. But five years earlier, Scalzi’s breakout novel won him the World Science Fiction Society’s John W. Campbell Award for best new writer for *Old Man’s War*.
Tor’s [Spoiler Free Impressions](https://www.tor.com/2017/06/15/a-spoiler-free-impression-of-john-scalzis-old-mans-war/) says it is a story “…about ordinary people grappling with extraordinary circumstances… [and that it] never insults readers’ intelligence.” Without spoiling anything, this story, Earth is a slum and traveling to interstellar space is one of the only ways out. It’s a sprawling story and we are super curious about where it goes!
A reminder that you do not necessarily need to read the book to join us for our Zoom meeting. Hop on in and hang out! Ask questions or just get the vibe. All are welcome 🙂
Cheers,
Jon

Learn to Estimate Rehab Projects - Part II
2023-02-18 09:00 - 10:30 | Online event
This is a continuation of Session I from 2/11.
Rehabbing costs will likely be your biggest out of pocket expense, and it comes into play throughout your investing career, and no matter what investment strategy you use. In some cases, your rehab expenses might even be MORE than what you pay for a property. You cannot know too much, have too many resources, or have too many good contractors on your team.
This topic simply has too much material to cover in ONE session, so we will do it over TWO sessions. During this fast paced session, we’ll focus on some of the fundamentals that are often overlooked or under utilized by the average investor.
**During this session, you’ll learn:**
* How to research and write a Scope of Work.
* How to create and monitor Project Management.
* How to find great contractors and build bench strength.
* Financing Options
* Additional resources.
Obviously, in just an hour, this is not a comprehensive course, but it will help you to get in the disciplined habits of Rehab analysis, planning, and execution.
I cannot stress strongly enough the value of belonging to a supportive community like the A2REIC. Real estate investing is not easy, but it is made easier when you have encouragement, support, knowledge, and experience of fellow members to help you along your journey.
Each Saturday Session is in TWO Parts:
PART 1: Laser Class
PART 2: Hotsheet Discussion of NEW Inventory, Off Market Deals, and Leads.
As always, you’ll get the opportunity to NETWORK, make new connections, and build your Inner Circle and Power Team. I hope you’ll join us!
The Session is fast paced, information filled, and will leave you with an ACTION PLAN
**AGENDA**
9:00-9:50 – Laser Class
9:50-10:10 – Speed Networking
10:10 – 10:30 – Deal or No Deal
**WHAT IS A LASER CLASS?**
A Laser Class is a fast paced, information filled 50 minute session, designed to give you an Overview of the topic, a quick, deep dive of the most important whats, whys, and hows, Resources for further study, and Action Steps to take TODAY! There is a lot of information, and Cheat Sheets are provided to help you remember what you learn.
**WHAT IS SPEED NETWORKING?**
Networking is Team Building, and you need to develop the discipline to communicate quickly and confidently. We TEACH you how to improve your Networking Skills while networking.
**WHAT IS DEAL OR NO DEAL?**
We’ll review the weekly Hotsheet of NEW Foreclosure and Multi Family listings NEW on the market, and select one of them for an “On the fly” LIVE analysis to determine whether or not it is a good opportunity or not, along with why or why not. It’s a great exercise to practice your analysis skills.
