Introduction & Looking to Expand Network

Evening all!

I'm new to the investing world and am looking to utilize some home equity to make a purchase by end of year. Target market is Davenport, IA and the surrounding area in Iowa due to my family being there and the businesses/colleges in the area.  

Does anyone have experience investing in Davenport, Iowa or have recommendations for a realtor in the area? I've reached out to a few individuals on here to introduce myself but am 100% open to recommendations for investors too. 

Looking forward to learning as I grow from this great community! 

Ashley

Unfortunately, I only work in the Cedar Rapids market.  Check the Facebook group "Quad Cities Real Estate Investors" I can do some more research and interview some if you'd like a broker that plays in the space all day.

Hi Ashley! 

I am an agent in the Iowa City area, however, I have worked numerous times with Regen Johnson at Ruhl&Ruhl. She is very experienced and knows the area well. I will PM you her contact. 

Good Luck to you in your investing journey!

Allison

Thank you both for your responses. My family has worked with agents at Ruhl & Ruhl for years, so I love that they are at the top of the list. 

Matt, I appreciate the FB referral too. I'll check it out!
