Hi @Don Spafford 

I know a couple private/hard money lenders in the Boise area. Both are attendees of AVID Investors Club. PM me if you'd like their contact info. 

Happy Investing!

Hi David, 

Let's plan a meet and greet coffee or happy hour in downtown Boise with your crew on early side of your arrival. I'm certain we can convince @Claire Fenton into joining. If you add single family investment properties into the mix, we'll absolutely want Jonna's expertise as well. 

Happy travels and happy investing David!

Hi Carly,

I recommend Erik Bolinder of Exceed - Strategic Legal Counsel for an attorney. He has decades of experience but only just opened his own practice, after serving at a major firm in town and has been more accessible and knowledgeable than some others. PM me for his info, as desired or search by his full practice name and you'll find one Yelp review and a holder/temp site.

You're welcome to mention my name if you reach out to Erik.

Neal Colborn also is good. Both recently spoke to various investor groups in Boise. 

I recommend that your accountant be in your hometown and I don't know any in Twin.

Happy Investing!

Hi Greg, 

You're in the right place. Welcome!

You're very welcome to come to check out AVID Investors Club - An Idaho Real Estate Investor's Club. Our next meeting is tomorrow night - it's a fun way to meet fellow podcast junkies :). Meetings are meant to be educational, connecting and tend to be quite enjoyable. 

@Jonna Weber  is another valuable contact. She hosts Bigger Pocket meet ups that are well worth attending for additional networking opportunities.

Shoot me an email to the address on my profile if you'd like an official invitation to AVID Investors. The club is filled with folks like you and I  - buy and hold investors of all levels, including aspiring. 

Happy Investing!

Do it Right . . . or Die Trying! Revealing bright legal insights while demystifying investment fundamentals. Attorney Erik Bolinder, of Exceed- Strategic Legal Counsel, will touch on the things it's OK to DIY and those to put in front of the pros. Attendees may even witness the complete obsolescence of two default mainstream legal approaches: "learn as you go" and "cross your fingers."

Please contact StacyA McBain of Swope Investment Properties for your invitation to this Boise - based Idaho Real Estate Investor's Club. Meetings are held in Meridian, Idaho. Members are largely comprised of buy and hold investors for cash flow. See profile for contact info.

Please contact StacyA McBain of Swope Investment Properties for your invitation to this member-based Idaho Real Estate Investor's Club.

Hi Logan, 

I really appreciate the approach taken by Attorney Erik Bolinder of Exceed Legal, who also is our guest speaker at AVID tomorrow night.

You're officially invited to attend the meeting and check him out in the process, or hit me up for his contact info. He has been practicing law and real estate-focused law at well-recognized local firms for decades, but recently has branched out and founded Exceed - Strategic Legal Counsel. 

This month's AVID Investors meeting is tomorrow - Wednesday, 10/21 - send me a message to my email address if you'd like an invitation. 

Happy Investing!

Hi @Sam Newell

It's common to find cap rates in the 5% range here - on the higher end of the range for older properties and lower for the newer ones. 

Yes- there are many newer props available and coming online. 

Vacancy is very low - less than 4%. 

What cap rates are you seeing in your area?

Hi @Account Closed

I host one of the investor groups mentioned by @Michael Key

and you're very welcome to check it out when you head this way. 

One positive point about the competitive market here is that you can still find cash flow in purchases that apply the minimum amount of down payment required by a lender. Our multifamily cap rates often are falling in the 5% range - and on the higher end for older properties, lower end for newer properties. 

Warmest regards,

StacyA
