How to Fix & Flip Houses the Right Way

How to Fix & Flip Houses the Right Way

Fri, Oct 9, 1:30 AM
From L. A. County Real Estate Investors Association (LAC-REIA)
4.5

**Fixing & Flipping Houses**. Everyone dreams of flipping houses, but very few ever really do it. Why is that? Rehabs are fun and challenging, and the profits can be enormous. Plus, compared to other investments, you receive your profits in months (not years). So why don’t more people do it? The answer is simple; people don’t know how to get started. They don’t know where to turn, what to do, or who to trust. Well, stay tuned, because we have the answer. **Guest Speaker**. The answer is Don Costa, our very special guest speaker at our October meeting. During his presentation, Don will cover four crucial topics: (1) How to find houses to flip, (2) How to finance your purchase, (3) How to rehab your property, and (4) How to flip your house quickly for fun and profit. Specifically, Don will be discussing: · *Finding the perfect flip* *· Funding your rehabs the right way* *· Systems to manage your team & timeline* *· Tips to cash flow as you grow* *· Maximizing your exit (getting the most profit out of each flip)* If you’re already fixing and flipping houses, or just getting started, you’re going to love Don’s presentation! Don is going to explain why “*fixing & flipping*” is the most lucrative (and most fun) strategy in real estate investing. Plus, he has plenty of real estate experiences and examples to share with you. Most importantly, he has actually done it with hundreds of rehabs in California’s competitive market. Don is going to show you how to get started and be successful. **Date & Time:** Thursday night, October 8, 2026, 6:30 to 9:30 pm. **Location:** Iman Cultural Center, 3376 Motor Avenue, LA 90034 (between National and Palms). **Parking**: Metered street parking. Plus, there are also two FREE parking structures just two blocks away. The first structure is at the northeast corner of Motor and Palms. The second structure is at the northeast corner of Motor and National. From either lot it’s a short two blocks walk to the Iman. Valet parking is also available. **Free Admission:** Admission to our meetings is always FREE (complimentary), but reservations are recommended. **RSVP**: To register, please go to www.LARealEstateInvestors.com. **Los Angeles County Real Estate Investors Association (“LAC-REIA”).** Founded in 1996, LAC-REIA is the oldest and largest investor group in California.

This month, we’re talking about something nearly every California investor and property owner cares about: CASH FLOW. With high home prices, financing costs, and changing rental markets, making the numbers work on a traditional rental can be challenging. Co-living is creating another option. Devon will break down how the co-living model works, what makes a property a potential fit, and why some owners are using this strategy to increase rental income without necessarily buying another property. 🏠 CO-LIVING • CASH FLOW • RENTAL INCOME • REAL ESTATE We’ll cover topics including: California Cash Flow — Is It Really Back? Why co-living is changing the numbers on certain California rental properties and creating opportunities in markets where traditional rental cash flow can be difficult. The 2X–3X Math A look at the potential income difference between renting an entire property to one household versus operating it under a room-by-room co-living model. The PadSplit Buy Box What types of properties may work for co-living, what investors should be looking for, and some of the factors that can make or break the numbers. Increasing the Potential of Property You Already Own Already own a house that's difficult to rent profitably? Have unused space or a floor plan that isn't producing its full potential? Property owners are especially encouraged to attend. Come learn about strategies that may help increase cash flow from an existing property. Live Discussion + Open Q&A Bring your questions. We'll open up the conversation so attendees can learn directly from Devon and from real-world situations brought up in the room. You do not have to be an investor to attend. Whether you're a homeowner, landlord, experienced investor, new investor, real estate agent, lender, wholesaler, property professional, or simply curious about real estate and alternative housing models, you're welcome.
