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.

1031 Reality Check: Strategies, Risks & Real Results!

1031 Reality Check: Strategies, Risks & Real Results!

Wed, Oct 21, 1:30 AM
From FIBI - San Fernando Valley
4.8

Join FiBI San Fernando Valley for a reality check on 1031 exchanges — going beyond the textbook criteria to look at how these transactions actually play out, including the exchanges that succeed and the ones that don't. Panelists **Elizabeth Harris** of Gibraltar 1031 and **James Bean** of Best 1031 Online will share firsthand accounts of walking investors through the process, the pitfalls, and the strategic decisions that determine whether an exchange qualifies — or quietly unravels. **Panelists will cover:** **Process & Strategy** — How a 1031 exchange actually moves from sale to replacement purchase, and the strategic decisions investors need to make early to protect the exchange. **Types of Exchanges** — Simultaneous, delayed, reverse, and improvement exchanges — which structure fits which investment scenario. **Exchange Requirements & Like-Kind Property** — What truly qualifies as like-kind, common misconceptions that trip up investors, and how the rules are applied. **Timelines That Make or Break a Deal** — The 45-day identification and 180-day closing windows, and real examples of exchanges that fail. **The Role of the Qualified Intermediary** — Why this relationship is central to a compliant exchange, and what to look for when choosing one. **Swap 'Til You Drop: The Long-Game Tax Strategy** — How investors use 1031 exchanges to defer capital gains, growing their portfolio tax-deferred over decades, and how passing real estate to heirs can trigger a step-up in basis. Whether you're planning your first exchange, want to sharpen your strategy, or are thinking generationally about how to pass wealth to your heirs, this panel will give you a grounded, real-world view of what it actually takes to execute a successful 1031 exchange — and how to use it to your advantage. **[Click Here for a $20 Presale Registration Link up to 5:00pm on the day of the event,](https://checkout.square.site/merchant/MLXEV14ATXQA1/checkout/B3BN3XJMKSSCXR6TPYVAF5PS) $25 at the door.** **Parking validation is available for the first 25 arrivals!** **Schedule:** **6:30pm-7:00pm - Arrivals & Networking** **7:00pm-8:30pm - Main Program & Presentation** **8:45pm - Networking at Cheesecake Factory** **Networking begins at 6:45PM — bring your questions and connect with fellow investors in the San Fernando Valley community!**
