Evaluating Real Estate Rehabs: Setting Priorities & Avoiding Pitfalls
Presented by: Rob Earhart, SREIA Board Member
Investing through the ups and downs of real estate since the early 1970’s Rob Earhart has invested in, rehabbed, rented and sold many homes since that time.
Since 2004 his company has contracted with several Investment Companies, overseeing the rehabs of their purchases, constantly dealing with contractors, subcontractors, investors, buyers, and renters throughout the Tampa Bay Area.
As the Project Manager for one such company he oversaw the renovation of over 150 homes in a four year period. He often worked with 3-4 crews at a time coordinating minor to major rehabs, mostly in St. Petersburg. With weekly payrolls in the thousands, he interfaced with suppliers, contractors, and City Officials in creating habitable homes, often from empty shells. He has worked with General Contractors and Engineers in obtaining permits and generally supervised the construction work to complete the projects.
At our February 2010 luncheon on Wednesday, February 10, Rob will describe and show examples of minor and major renovations, how to determine what you’re getting into when purchasing, and will provide an Excel spreadsheet used to realistically determine your own numbers for repairs.
Knowing the repair costs enable you to make an offer quickly which benefits you, not the seller. In today’s market buying at the right price means you can make a good profit, not just break even, or even lose money.
Bring your questions and examples and let’s enjoy learning something new.

Why New Year’s Resolutions are Short-Lived
&
How You Can Set S.M.A.R.T. Goals for 2010
Presented by Vince Pizzitola
A New Year, a new decade, and perhaps, new, un-met goals. Or, this year can be the year you successfully meet and exceed your goals, if you start by taking an inventory of your goal setting routines and examine the how’s and why’s of goal setting.
SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Action-Oriented, Realistic and Timely. Experts say we spend more time planning our vacations than we do our goals. Is that true for you? If it is, then you have just identified one area that you will need to change.
The fact is this : You have the power to create the future you want. All you need to do is spend some time identifying what you want your future to include and then plan how you will achieve it. You will do this by implementing changes and taking actions to support the desired goals.
Do you start out gung-ho on a certain goal and then become plagued by inertia ? Are your goals rigidly confined to lockstep methods ? Do you sabotage your goals by letting toxic, negative influences of others supersede and usurp your power ?
At the SREIA February Real Estate Basics Meeting on Thursday, February 18, 2010, Vince Pizzitola will offer advice on how members and guests can set realistic, positive goals for 2010 and follow-through on reaching those goals by using the SMART method.
