ONLINE MASTERCLASS:

THE PLAN YOUR REHAB RIGHT ONLINE INTENSIVE

Monday, 7/11/2026

Saturday July 11th
9 am – 3 pm eastern, ONLINE
Plan Your Rehab Right Online Intensive:
How to Walk a Property Like a Pro,
Bulletproof Your Scope of Work,
And Manage Contractors Without Losing Your Mind

         Rehabbing properties—whether you're keeping them as rentals or flipping them for profit—is one of the fastest ways to build wealth in real estate.

It's also one of the fastest ways to lose it.

In today's market, there's no 2021-style appreciation to bail you out if you overpay, underestimate repairs, or let a rehab drag on for months.

Sound familiar?

• "I paid too much because I didn't know how much work the property really needed."
• "Holding costs ate up my profit because the rehab took way longer than expected."
• "My contractor kept changing things, and the rehab ended up costing $25,000 more than I budgeted."

If you've ever said one of those—or you're determined never to—this workshop could save you thousands of dollars on your very next project.

We've brought in Jerry Fink, an active rehabber, landlord, and real estate investor with more than 35 years of experience, to show you exactly how successful investors plan profitable rehabs before the first hammer swings.

During this workshop, you'll:

• Spend the morning virtually walking through a real rehab project, to  see how experienced investors decide exactly what work should—and shouldn't—be done.
• Build a professional Scope of Work (SOW) from scratch using the same process successful rehabbers use to create accurate budgets.
• Learn how to use your SOW to negotiate with contractors, eliminate misunderstandings, and dramatically reduce costly change orders.
• Discover how milestone payments protect both you and your contractor while keeping the project moving on schedule.
• See how your Scope of Work and contractor agreement work together to keep your rehab under control—and give you leverage if things don't go according to plan.

You'll also receive valuable tools you can use immediately, including:

1. An Excel Scope of Work template you can use for everything from complete rehabs to simple rental turnovers.
2. A detailed contractor agreement that clearly defines expectations, payment schedules, deadlines, and includes important protections such as penalties for late completion.
3. A contractor screening checklist that helps you objectively evaluate contractors before you hire them.
4. A recording of the entire workshop for your permanent real estate library.

The workshop will be recorded, and all registrants get the recording, so register even if you can't attend live…

Your investment is only $47 through July 9 if you're a member ($67 after), or $97 through July 9 if you're not ($127 after).

(But since membership is only $25 a month, it makes far more sense to join, save $50 immediately, and get access to all other networking meetings, focus groups, and educational events—including our Rehab Focus Group.)

By the way, there is pre-work for this class: an on-demand class with Jerry that teaches you how to do an initial walk-through of a property and estimate repair costs. You’ll need to download this class and the repair cost cheat sheet BEFORE you attend the Saturday workshop, so register NOW to get your head start!

This will systematize the way you plan your rehabs—and we're so confident that you'll see that the bonus materials alone are worth more than the price of admission—that if you don’t, we'll gladly refund your tuition.

POPUP:

INVESTIGATE LIKE SHERLOCK HOLMES

Tuesday, 7/14/2026

You Asked….. We Listened!

One skill that all MREIA Members should acquire is to be able to do title searches online.

Why?

Let us count the ways.

#1) Find out who the owner is. Making sure the person selling it really is the owner  or has the authority to sell property.

You would be surprised how many people attempt  to sell property that they do not own! It happens every day.

#2) Information:

1. When Seller purchased Property
2. How much they Paid
3. Mortgages against the Property (Terms such as interest rate, amount & remaining balance)
4. Liens & Judgments
5. Lawsuits against the Property
6. Distress - Is the Property in Foreclosure? (Note: A must to do before bidding at an auction.) 

#3) Saves Time and Money -No longer do you have to trek down to the County Courthouse, go through some very old and heavy books, and bring plenty of change to make copies. 

Today you can sit in front of your computer, at any hour day or night and within 15 minutes have the info you need.

#4) It is Fun and Easy to do. No special skills are needed; you just need to understand the procedure. 

Plus, You get to play Detective and concoct “what if” scenarios when you put the pieces together. 

#5) Proceed or Not.  In many cases you can determine if you should go further with this property or pass.

Please understand if you do purchase the property, you will NEED to have a licensed  Title Insurance Company do a more thorough search and allow them to sell you Title Insurance on the property.

Join us Tuesday July 14th 7:00pm to 8:30 pm.

Yes, you will still NEED to Have a Professional Title Searcher 

So, join us on Tuesday July 14th for a special pop-up Meeting.

Register HERE now!

TAX LIEN INVESTING

Thanks to everyone who joined us last evening for a very special presentation.

And a very special thanks to our featured speaker, Ms. Deborah T. Feldstein, Esq. for a very informative discussion on the tax lien process in New Jersey.

The laws pertaining to tax sale certificates/liens have changed dramatically in New Jersey which many investors are not aware of.

Ms. Feldstein explained the changes and how they affect investing in this field.

The questions posed led to a lively discussion and should help our members better understand the process and the impact it has on your investing career.

All the best!
