Ugly Houses, Beautiful Profits:
The Renovations That Actually Make Money

Not every renovation makes money.

Some renovations create six-figure profits. Others quietly destroy them.

The difference often comes down to a handful of decisions made before the first contractor ever steps onto the property.

This month, GRID St. Pete welcomes special guest speaker Dolmar Cross, nationally recognized real estate investor, entrepreneur, educator, and star of A&E's hit television series Zombie House Flipping. Over the course of his career, Dolmar has participated in more than 1,000 residential and commercial real estate transactions and has built multiple successful real estate businesses while renovating some of Florida's most challenging properties.

During this exclusive event, Dolmar will walk us through real renovation projects—from properties that looked completely unsalvageable on day one to profitable transformations that generated substantial returns. You'll see actual case studies, renovation budgets, before-and-after examples, and the specific improvements that created the biggest returns.

More importantly, you'll learn the five renovation decisions that often determine whether a project becomes a profitable investment or an expensive mistake.

FOR EXPERIENCED INVESTORS

FOR REAL ESTATE AGENTS

Investors think differently than traditional buyers.

Learn how successful flippers evaluate opportunities, estimate repairs, and calculate returns so you can better serve investor clients and identify opportunities before they hit the market.
