Hotsheet Analysis: Finding Deals on the MLS: Monday at 10AM
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.
**VIP 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 Estimate Rehab Projects - Part I
2023-02-11 09:00 - 10:30 | Online event
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. It never ceases to amaze me as to how unprepared most investors are when it comes to this part of the business.
**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

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.

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
* Releases
And much more!
The Session is fast paced, information filled, and will leave you with an ACTION PLAN

"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

"The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" - Becky Chambers
2022-12-18 14:00 - 16:00 | Online event
Hi everyone,
Our pick for December nearly won our poll for October and won by a clear margin this month. The other selections we have read from Chambers have been thoughtful investigations of alien worlds and cultures. The Guardian called *Small, Angry Planet* “a quietly profound, humane tour de force” and “exciting, adventurous, and … cozy”. We are looking forward to reading Chambers’ well-received debut novel! More details about the plot below.
Book of the Month
*The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet* – Becky Chambers (2014)
Synopsis: Follow a motley crew on an exciting journey through space and one adventurous young explorer who discovers the meaning of family in the far reaches of the universe in this light-hearted debut space opera from a rising sci-fi star.
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

BRRRR Strategy 101
2022-12-17 09:00 - 10:00 | Online event
The BRRRR Strategy (formerly known as the Flip to Hold strategy) is perhaps the most popular strategy for investors because, when executed properly, allows you to purchase houses with no money, yet receive all the benefits, as you will have an appreciating asset, with a tenant who pays your mortgage and all other expenses. BRRRR stands for: Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, and Repeat. It is simple in concept, but in reality can be challenging to execute. During this session, I’ll walk you through the BRRRR acronym, connect you to some of the players you will need to have on your team, share some caution flags, and provide you with a REALISTIC picture of what it will take for you to purchase a house using this strategy. I hope you’ll join us!

House Flipping 101
2022-12-10 09:00 - 10:30 | Online event
Make no mistake, FLIPPING Houses is a lot more challenging than it used to be for a number of reasons. Most notably are those HGTV shows that tend to give a lot of folks a lot of false hope, and lure people into situations where they get dollar signs in their eyes, and are in over their heads and get in too deep and wind up in big trouble. The next biggest challenge is finding good and reliable contractors once your FLIP is ready to go. A third challenge is competition, because there are a lot of investors in the market with lots of resources. During this session, we WON’T sell you false hope. We will go over the fundamentals, talk about some Hyperlocal Markets in Southeast Michigan, discuss local contractors and other resources, and provide you with a REALISTIC picture of what it will take for you to flip a house in 2023. I hope you’ll join us!
**During this session, you will learn:**
* Finding Deals – Target Markets, Setting Criteria, Lead Generation
* Analyze Deals – How to Make Good Offers
* Fund Deals – How to Finance, Offer, and Close
* How to Fix – Managing the Rehab Process
* How to Sell – Prep, Marketing, and Selling
And more!
The Session is fast paced, information filled, and will leave you with an ACTION PLAN

Deal Analysis 101
2022-12-03 09:00 - 10:30 | Online event
Analyzing Deals and Finding Deals are the absolute bread and butter of this business. 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.

"Solaris" by Stanislaw Lem
2022-11-27 14:00 - 16:00 | Online event
Hi everyone,
As far as classics go, November’s Book of the Month is one on just about every “must-read” list. It was originally published in Polish in 1961, then translated to English and French, and then translated into English on two more occasions (apparently the original and 2011 translations are the best). It has been a radio play, an opera, and a movie (twice!). It’s clearly an engaging story, so let’s jump in!
Book of the Month
*Solaris* – Stanislaw Lem (1961)
Solaris is the story of humans trying to uncover the truth about an alien planet. It has some big ideas and becomes a much more philosophical conversation than the initial brief gives it credit for. Lem was a prophetic and highly popular writer in his time and has a fascinating story. Check our his [Wikipedia entry here for more](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanis%C5%82aw_Lem)
Unfortunately, we will not be able to host this meeting on the third Sunday, as we usually do, due to a work commitment. We’ll go with the fourth Sunday (just after Thanksgiving), instead. Hope to see you there!
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
