Ok, I've been through the training (yes, I paid for it and probably too much), now I'm sorting through properties to make my first offer. Crunching numbers and hoping that I can get an offer accepted and when I do, hoping my relatively small buyers list will actually have someone that will buy the property. It's a good thing I can do this full time!
Richard,
I'm looking at properties in Portland and surrounding areas
Greg,
I attended the meeting this month at NWREI and thought it was well run and very interested in being a resource. I probably will join. I will also add you to my buyers list.
I'm starting out as a wholesaler, as I don't have any capital to rehab/flip or hold. Eventually, I would like my own portfolio of properties and capital generation from my own rehab/flip.
I hope to be making offers by the end of the week. My challenge is using what I have been taught to determine the offer amount.
Congrats on your wholesaling venture. If you would like to be introduced to other investors in the Salem/Portland area I can make an introduction. My number and email are below.
Did that other guy delete his post, I was hoping to get his name written down.
Since I'm new to this site, can anyone commenting here tell me how we can communicate privately since it sounds like there are "rules" here. I assumed this would be the place to make first contacts and begin the networking process.
There are forums where you can advertise for buyers, post a specific deal, or advertise for properties you want. This is not any of those forums. This forum is for new members to introduce themselves to the community and for the community to say "hi!". This particular thread is Denise' introduction. Please use those other forums if you want to try to put together a deal.
Also, in order to PM someone, you first need to click on the "Follow" button below their avatar (picture). On that screen, you can check the box to send a colleague request. Once the other person accepts, you can then PM each other.
It is a place to network. But I guess its similar to all the other places in our world where productive dialogue needs to be regulated and imposed upon.
I requested you to be a colleague, that way we can have unrestricted dialogue.
What a market in PDX! We have everything here from buy and holds to fix-n-flips, to commercial opportunities. I am a beginning REI and I also bought into one of those REI packages and payed to much however the saying, "You don't know what you don't know" is so true. It will prove to be one of the best purchases I have ever made.
I like the rest of you want to network with other REI's in PDX so we can all help each other to succeed. We have put in a few offers already but have not landed anything yet. Any advise we can give each other would be great. I would like to open a dialogue with some or all of you that are investing in PDX. There are so many opportunities here and I think if we worked together in select areas we might even manage to create our very own hyper markets where homes sell or have offers on them before they are finished with rehab.
I have set my goals for the year and would like to move as fast as possible as deals close everyday. Anyone with experience in CRE I would appreciate your help and comments as well as possible partnerships on multi family opportunities.
Looks like a little group is gathering here. Anyone care to meet early some Sat morn for breakfast? The earlier the better. Not this weekend though, Rusty and I will be at the conference in Denver.
Like Jon said if you want to communicate click on the picture and request a colleague designation and send a note. No need to be a Pro.
Can then exchange emails and phone numbers.
i noticed this is an older thread. How are things going for you Oregon REI's? Still at it? I'd like to start networking a little bit more. Any events going on or meet ups?
