Fix & Flip Deal Review Roundtable (Beginner-Friendly)

***This session is hosted as part of the local Tampa Bay Real Estate Investors Association (TBREIA) community. First-time guests are typically welcome to attend, and continued participation may require a TBREIA membership. Please check with the organizers at the event for current membership details.*** If you’ve been looking at deals but feel unsure about your numbers… this session is for you. This is a beginner-friendly underwriting roundtable where we break down real deals step by step and show you how to evaluate them conservatively — the same way active investors do. You don’t need experience. You don’t need perfect numbers. Just bring your curiosity (and optionally, a deal you’re working on). WHAT YOU’LL LEARN * How to quickly analyze a fix & flip deal * How to estimate ARV using nearby sales * How to think about rehab costs (even if you're not a contractor) * How to build in a safety margin so you don’t lose money * What experienced investors look for before saying “yes” to a deal LIVE DEAL REVIEW (BRING YOUR DEAL!) We’ll review real deals submitted by attendees. If you have a deal: * Bring the address (or basic details) * We’ll walk through it together as a group * You’ll get perspectives from: * * An active investor (Jay Toluganti) * A local real estate agent (DJ Brooks) * A contractor’s lens on rehab (Alex Miranda) This is a safe, beginner-friendly environment — no judgment, just learning. WHO THIS IS FOR * New investors trying to understand numbers * Wholesalers who want to sharpen deal analysis * Agents who want to better evaluate investment properties * Anyone sitting on the sidelines unsure where to start in Real Estate Investment Journey (esp Fix and Flip deals) WHAT THIS IS NOT * Not a sales pitch * Not a guru seminar * Not theoretical fluff This is real-world, practical deal analysis. ABOUT THE HOST Jay Toluganti is a Florida-based real estate investor specializing in fix & flips, land deals, and working with builders to source residential lots. He focuses on conservative underwriting and “sales-first” deal selection, helping investors avoid bad deals before they happen. WHAT TO BRING * A notebook (or your phone) * A deal you’re analyzing (optional) * Questions — lots of them FINAL NOTE Most people don’t fail because they lack opportunities… They fail because they don’t know how to evaluate them. This session is designed to change that.
