Speaker Dave Robinson explores the unique opportunity for energy reductions presented by foreclosed homes in this tough economy. He shows by example that this "bad market" is an excellent time to buy foreclosed homes at a discount, perform significant energy upgrades, and sell at a profit. He will share his "Three Package System" that has worked so well that most of his projects have been sold before the renovation was complete. Dave's business model integrates the disciplines of home performance, real estate, remodeling, and interior and exterior design. By providing high-value amenities and finishes that buyers want, the Energy Wise House Flipper can include almost everything customers want in an energy package, thus helping the sale of the compelling finished product at a reasonable profit. This model does not depend on any government or utility incentives, and the material presented is based on actual projects completed recently.

Topics include criteria for selecting neighborhoods and specific houses and how to interview and select the members of the renovation team: realtor, subcontractors, home inspector, etc. The instructor will cover creative buying and selling strategies, including new technology and Web 2.0 resources.
