Good morning, Gentlemen.

No one from this thread ended up at the meeting last night, however 1 person did. An interesting guy named Cale from Boston got on the Zoom call and we chatted for the entire hour and a half. Nice guy it was a good chat. While the first meetup was only 2 people, a meeting finally did happen and I'd consider that a step in the right direction. So I'm going to continue forward with more.

I figure I'll stick to the last Thursday of every month since that's what we've gotten started. If you'd like to join the next one, it will be on August 24th at 7PM. We should probably do Zoom calls until this thing grows a bit. I'll set up another meetup here on BP and post the link for anyone who wants to join! Take care, everyone.

Hi, I'm trying to invest in Louisville, KY to BRRRR. I'm having a hard time finding small banks to get a loan from. The reason one gave me was because I am from out of state (California). Anyone have any recommendations? Would be greatly appreciated.

 Hi Allen. Are you currently investing in Louisville? Or maybe you have a good handle on the market there? I'd love to discuss details of the area with people that are locale and have an investor mindset.

My big goal is to use REI to help propel our family into financial independence (and work-optional) life. I am married and have two kids and we've owned our home here in Fort Collins, CO since 2018. We purchased a local cash-flowing SFR in 2021 (before interest rates increased) which we self-manage since it's so close to home. In 2022, we also made the leap to purchase an out of state SFR in Montgomery, AL, where rental properties can still be found for $100k or less. After having the entire HVAC system stolen 1 week after closing, we have stabilized with tenants and positive cash flow.

I have read many FIRE and REI book and listened to endless podcasts. Now starting to get more involved in Northern Colorado networking meetups and trying to locate below market deals to continue investing local. Also, we want to continue scaling our out of state portfolio into multi-family. Targeting Louisville, KY and continuing our research and hoping to start building local team soon.

Glad to be a part of this great community!

I primarily used the enemy method combined with Pricelabs market reports for my areas of interest. I started with about 10 areas ($100 for reports @ $10 each) and quickly weeded them down to my preferred two locations and then made an offer (and by "made an offer" - I made 10 offers until I got one in the crazy spring '22 market).  The Pricelabs market reports really helped me see my local competition and what I could "safely" offer on a home in the area.

Hey all,

I'm Carson. I'm just now looking to scoop up my first deal for STR (Airbnb) or for LTR. I'm in the Louisville, KY area and would love to find friends or connections that could help me grow and continue to think bigger. I'm looking to grab my first property before year end ‘22!

I just constructed my LLC and opened a bank account with my local bank. I'm looking to use someone like RentersWarehouse.com to find and manage tenants. Any recommendations on great management services?

Any recommendations on where to connect in the Louisville area or other online groups to join? Recently connect with Rob Bergeron over the phone and he brought KREIA to my attention for a multitude of experiences and connections.

Thanks for any help or introductions! I’m new to the bigger pockets community and excited to be a sponge for knowledge 🧽 

Respectfully, 

Carson
