Thinking About Flipping a House? Learn How to Rehab a House Step by Step
About this Event
A lot of new investors want to flip houses…
But most people have no idea what actually happens after they get a property under contract.
How do you know what to offer?
How do you estimate repairs without guessing?
When should you bring in contractors?
How do you know if the ARV is right?
Should you DIY the work, hire subcontractors, or use a GC?
How do you keep a rehab from going over budget?
And what do you do when change orders, delays, inspections, or buyer repair requests pop up?
That’s exactly what we’re breaking down at this month’s Columbus real estate meetup.
The July meetup is focused on rehabbing — especially for newer investors, aspiring flippers, wholesalers who want to understand their buyers better, and anyone who wants to learn how rehab projects are actually managed from start to finish.
We’ll walk through the full rehab process step by step:
Offer → Contract → Inspections → Final Underwriting → Financing → Closing → Preconstruction → Construction Management → Project Closeout → Listing → Negotiation → Remedy Requests → Final Close
We’ll simplify the process so you understand what needs to happen, when it needs to happen, and where investors usually lose money.
The biggest emphasis will be on preliminary underwriting, final underwriting, contractor management, invoicing, project check-ins, change orders, punch lists, and project closeout.
You do not need to be an experienced flipper to attend.
This room is built for people who want to learn, ask questions, meet the right people, and understand the process before making expensive mistakes.

Why Attend
Most people learn rehabbing the expensive way.
They buy the deal, guess on repairs, trust the wrong contractor, underestimate the budget, overpay up front, miss the ARV, and then wonder where the profit went.
This meetup is designed to help you understand the process before you make those mistakes.
You’ll learn how experienced investors think through rehab projects, what steps matter most, and how to protect yourself before and during a project.
You’ll also get to connect with local investors, wholesalers, lenders, contractors, realtors, vendors, and people who are actively building in the Columbus real estate space.
If you want to flip houses, wholesale better deals, lend on projects, or simply understand how rehabs work, this is a room you want to be in.
Seats are free, but registration is required.
