Wealth In REI Member Makes It Happen


244 Dickinson, An Investors First Major Rehab


REIA of Macomb member Mark Sobolic has burned his ship!!! He's made the commitment to be a full time real estate investor by 2009. As a founding member of Wealth In REI, Mark's decide to put all of his education and his personal network to the test.

Here's the deal...

244 Dickinson
Mt. Clemens, MI 48043
3bed bungalow on a full basement with a 2 1/2 car garage.

Now if that's how this home is marketed, it's not moving in this market. One of the topics that we are exploring in early 2008 in Wealth In REI, is how to market your properties and get a 300% better response than the competition. My partner Nathan Mayes and I are considered to be top marketers in the current real estate climate. By purchasing close to one Michigan Income Property a week, we are forced to be extremely proactive in the marketing of these houses.
If you would like to find out more on how to successfully purchase 50 houses over the next 12 months you need to get to The REIA and inquire about your possible enrollment in Wealth In REI.

Back to Mark's Freedom...

You read the mundane description of his house above, let's look at how this home would describe itself after it's rehabbed.


Hi my name is 244 Dickinson. I'm a classic 50's built bungalow that sets directly across from a tranquil park. As you walk my way you'll notice my fresh taupe exterior paint, air tight vinyl double tilt hung windows, all capped off by my new 40 year dimensional roof. Surrounding my foundation is very natural landscaping accompanied by a perfectly manicured lawn. Off to my right is my 2 1/2 car double doored with new vinyl siding covering it.

My lovely front entrance welcomes you, my gleaming hardwood floors stop you in your tracks, for fear of possibly slipping on the ice-like finish. As you venture in I can brag about my natural fireplace with refinished mantle for your family's pictures. The next doorway brings you to my crown jewel, the modern kitchen. I have a new ceramic floor, light fixtures, and cheery custom paint. That's not all. You'll also notice my new hardwood cabinets, sparkling appliances, that you'll enjoy dining in my breakfast nook.

Moving toward the hall your jaw will drop when you see how large the two bedrooms are. Best of all they're separated by my completed updated full ceramic bathroom. Your family will love growing up in a house with such a modern feel. The largest bedroom is located upstairs, where typical bungalows seem slanted, mine feels like a new build's master suite. This room will become your sanctuary after a long day.

Don't forget that I have a full basement for laundry, storage, or overflow from your big family get togethers. This is not the basements that most Mt. Clemens residents are punished with. It's tall enough for the Pistons to come over and hang out! I'm as dry as you'll find in The Clem thanks to my waterproofing and the addition of a sump pump.

Enough about my basement. I want to leave you with one thought...Imagine watching your kids playing in the snow at the park across the street while sipping hot cocoa at your bistro table out your breakfast nooks window. Please make me yours.


That's how a listing should read about this romantic home.
Stay tuned, pictures and stories of Mark's rehab will follow in the coming weeks. If you are interested in speaking with Mark, you need to come to the REIA of Macomb's Main Event that happens the last Thursday of every month and seek him out.

Make it Happen Mr. Sobolic.
