You found a great deal and put it under contract. But will you really have the funding you need to close?
At our next Main Event, Fred Militello of Grand Gate Capital will share stories of deals that fell apart because buyers didn't have their funding nailed down.

You want to have your funding in place before you even make an offer on a property. Can you qualify for the loan you'll need? Do you need to improve your credit score? The time to know is now.

Bonus presentation: "But Will It Sell?"
Realtor Andrea Mann shows you rehabs that worked or didn't.

When a flipper does a rehab right, they get their asking price. But sometimes flippers don't make the improvements needed. And sometimes they do too much, pricing the property too high for the location. Andrea will take you on an eye-opening photographic journey to see examples of what worked and what didn't.

We're back at the Best Western with the event that helped make Baltimore REIA the region's premier real estate investing club. 

The Canton Room doors open at 5:30 p.m. It's a terrific opportunity to network, learn from your investor colleagues, and do deals. Plus, now you can order food and beverage -- please help support the hotel providing the room.

The meeting kicks off at 6:30 p.m. with announcements about what's coming up. Baltimore REIA members and Preferred Partners are invited to do a Quick Pitch about what you've got or what you want. 

Got questions? Ask 'em! We're an association of investors, for investors, who help each other succeed.
