Hello from Cedar Rapids, IA

[Andrew D.]

Hello my name is Andy Dunham.  I've worked in the construction industry for years.  After the floods we had here in 2008 I became involved in rehabbing these flooded houses.  I enjoyed taking the process of taking basically a gutted shell and transforming back to something beautiful.  The past 3+ years I have been buying distressed properties (foreclosures, estates, previous rentals that got trashed, etc) and fix them up and rent them out. 

I have been doing this as a side job while working a day job so I have been quite busy.  My goal is to build a foundation of income producing properties to replace the income of my day job.  Then I would like to focus on other aspects of real estate such as flipping, rent to own and selling on contract.

I am interested in information on selling rent to own and on contract terms.  I am also interested in renting to special needs and non profits.  I have been renting to one local group with good results however they are small and I have more inventory then they need.
