MAREI Virtual Rehab Field Trip – Real Deal Breakdown with Don Tucker

with... Donald Tucker

We showed you the house at the June Meeting—now we’re showing you the real numbers and details. Learn how to assess repairs, calculate costs, and create an offer on a real-life investment property.

Wish you could go back and walk through that Deal or No Deal house in person?
Well, now you can—from the comfort of your laptop.

We’re turning our MAREI Rehab Field Trip into a Virtual Event—and you’ll be walking the property with Don Tucker, the investor behind the case study we featured at the June MAREI meeting.

He’ll take you step-by-step through:

  • What he saw during the initial walk-through

  • The actual rehab plan and budget

  • The decisions behind what to fix, what to leave, and what to upgrade

  • How comps shaped the projected ARV

  • And ultimately—how he calculated his offer price

This is a rare look behind the curtain at how an experienced investor dissects a real deal.

If you're struggling to figure out what a house is worth or how much repairs will cost—this is the session you need.

Topics on the agenda

  • Grading issues, landscaping, and tree impact

  • Foundation cracks—what’s minor and what’s not

  • Why electric meter & box upgrades matter

  • How to fix ungrounded outlets without breaking the bank

  • When to remove walls (and when to leave them alone)

  • What to do with a window in the middle of a bathtub

  • Roof, HVAC, water heater—what to look for, what to replace

  • Flooring decisions, hardwood, carpet, tile, LVP or LVT

  • How to power appliances, and deal with gas lines.

  • Adding rooms, creating new exterior doorway, building decks and patios

  • Should you GC your own job? Or do the work yourself? Pros and cons.

  • And of course—how Don calculated his offer

 Bonus - everyone who signs up not only gets to attend or get the replay or both, but we will also have some sample walk through spreadsheets plus the one Don has built and revised over 25 years of rehabbing houses.

🗓 Date: Saturday, June 21st
 Time: 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM (Central Time)
📍 Location: Online – Zoom link sent to registrants

🎟 MAREI Members: $29  ($24 by June 19th)

You know the drill - it's live, it's interactive, and we take questions all live on Zoom.  And it's recorded so you can listen to it again, have your partner watch, teach the kids, or if you just can't make it live for part of the event on the 21st, catch the parts you missed.

We will send you a walk through sheet when you sign up so you can go to the video & the comps and take your own notes to compare to what Don does on the 21st.
