Most investors don't lose money on the purchase — they lose it in the renovation budget. This session pulls back the curtain on how contractors actually price a job, and the assumptions investors make that blow up their numbers every single time.

6:15PM - Opening/Presentation
6:45PM - Q&A
7:00PM - Deal Pitches/Opportunities
7:30PM - Networking and Conclude

What we'll cover:
✅ How contractors actually build a bid — materials, labor, overhead, and margin
✅ Why the lowest bid is often the most expensive one in the end
✅ The scope-of-work mistakes that lead to change orders and budget overruns
✅ Line items investors consistently forget to budget for
✅ How to read a bid and spot red flags before you sign
✅ What drives price swings between contractors on the exact same job
✅ How to build a renovation budget that actually holds up through the project

Featuring perspectives from:
Licensed general contractors who'll walk through real bids, real change orders, and the renovation math investors get wrong — so you don't find out the hard way.
Whether you're renovating your first flip or your fiftieth rental, this session will change how you scope, budget, and manage your next project.
