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.

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.

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.

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.

"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:

Deal Analysis 201 - Learn How to Calculate ARV
2023-02-04 09:00 - 10:30 | Online event
The ability to calculate the After Repair Value (ARV) of a property is a key skill you will need to learn to develop and practice if you are committed to becoming a successful investor. Within the industry, there are several approaches to finding this number, and we’ll show you some of the key mistakes most investors make when coming up with this number.
During this session, you’ll also learn the best places to find comparable sales, what factors determine the best comparable sales, how to utilize your network, and the A2REIC to help you grow confidence in your numbers, and grow confidence in your deal analysis skills.
The ARV is just ONE number in the Deal Analysis equation, but it is perhaps the most important number to be able to estimate accurately, because it can ultimately be the best indicator of your potential profit margin. I look forward to seeing you at this session.
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.

Contracts 101 - The Purchase and Sale Agreement
2023-01-28 09:00 - 10:30 | Online event
*”If it’s not in writing, it doesn’t exist.”* –Ellen Ticknor, Real Estate One Corporate Attorney.
It never ceases to amaze me the number of investors, REALTORS, and others in the investment world who do not understand the CRITICAL importance of contracts, addendums, and releases, nor do they take the time to learn, IN ADVANCE, what it is they are signing. Then, when the inevitable problems, misunderstandings, and confusion arise AFTER the fact, thats where everything unravels, and adversity grows.
As you know, I’m a strong advocate for A2REIC Members to be PROACTIVE in transactions, not REACTIVE, and there is no more important element in the transaction than the contract. It’s not only the SALES contract, but there are Agency Contracts, Disclosures, Addendums, Contingencies, etc. It’s always best for you to learn these SOONER rather than LATER, when, in the case of contracts, is often TOO late to learn.
During this fast paced session, I’ll walk you through a few standard contracts, common contingencies, misconceptions, and required documents created by attorneys that are necessary, but make no sense.
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!
**During this session, you will learn:**
* The Main Components of a Purchase and Sale Agreement
* Disclosures
* Contingencies and Dates
* Addendums

"The Time Machine" - H.G. Wells
2023-01-15 14:00 - 16:00 | Online event
Hi everyone,
January’s Book is a true classic in the field of science fiction. One of the earliest examples of time travel in popular literature, *The Time Machine* is still considered one of the gold standards. While some of the language and themes will feel dated, this short novel packs a punch. I think you will find a certain timeless quality in the writing. Travel with us and this eccentric scientist through the ages! Be sure to keep your hands and feet inside at all times while the vehicle is in motion.
Book of the Month
*The Time Machine* – H.G. Wells (1895)
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

Foreclosures 101 - Buying Bank Owned Properties
2023-01-14 09:00 - 10:30 | Online event
Banks are very motivated sellers. Their business is holding mortgages, not actual brick and mortar.
They absolutely HATE the idea of paying money out of pocket for taxes, maintenance, insurance, and utilities. They are very anxious to move these non-performing assets off their books with a quick sale.
During this session, we’ll cover the procedures, protocols, and requirements unique to purchasing Bank Owned properties. During this session, we’ll put our analysis skills into action, and take a look at actual Bank Owned Properties that are actively for sale as of the morning of this MeetUp. We’ll look at the newest listings, and maybe some others that have been overlooked by other investors, but are still viable, and we’ll look at a couple other ways to creatively secure Bank Owned properties that the average investor doesn’t know about. We’ll provide you with a REALISTIC picture of what it takes to purchase properties from a bank. Don’t miss this one!
**During this session, you will learn:**
Finding Deals – Working with REALTORS
Analyze Deals – The Numbers Don’t Lie
Negotiating With The Bank
And more!
The Session is fast paced, information filled, and will leave you with an ACTION PLAN
