Hello! My name is Lisa Hebert. My husband and I are looking to get our first multifamily in the Cedar Rapids area. We would love to connect to anyone who has a meetup or is currently a landlord in the area. This week we are going to look at a couple duplexes.

Are you guys new to the area? I have a few single family homes in the area and have had several multi families in the past. I am open to meeting up and discussing ideas.

@Lisa Hebert I live right in on the edge of Robins. Are you currently out of state? What duplex’s are you looking at?

We are currently in Cedar Rapids. We're looking at ones in Mount Vernon and North Liberty.

Connecting with local meetups or landlords sounds like a great idea to get started. Checking out those duplexes this week must be exciting. Hope you find the perfect one for your first investment!

Hi Lisa! 

There is a Facebook Group Called "CR Area RE Investor Meetup" that gets together frequently. There are also discussions within the group. I don't believe the next meetup has been scheduled, but should meetup soon.

Good Luck investing! Feel free to reach out with any questions you might have!

@Lisa Hebert congrats on working to get into the Cedar Rapids market!  I'm a local investor in CR area as well.  I own single family, 2-4 units, mobile home communities, and some vacant land.  I'll send you a DM.
