Ben Echevarria

Ben is one of the instructors for the Fix & Flip classes. After a decade of real estate investing, he has transitioned from investor to entrepreneur. He grew his side business into a career, managing multiple businesses and reaching the goal of financial freedom.

Description:

Timing is pivotal in the Fix & Flip strategy. Learn how to analyze the ideal target property, then identify the specific steps that will be required during the Fix & Flip process for that property to achieve the highest success and massive profits. Decide which tasks to undertake personally when doing a Fix & Flip, and when and how other tasks should be delegated to sub-contractors and team members. Learn the specific “how-to’s” that generate on-time project completion and profitable margins. We will review the acquisition, repair, escrow, and marketing processes, in addition to detailed property evaluation strategies which allow you to estimate repairs accurately the first time. Find and recruit with the best people for your team and learn effective strategies in positioning your investment property for sale. Make sure you know the target market of your property, and the attributes that will make that property valuable in that area.
