@Cian R. my brother is a GC in that area.  I'm not sure what his workload is right now or what his pricing would be like, but he does good work.  I'll send you a message with his contact info.

Hello BP, I am looking for an attorney to handle an eviction in the Tioga County, Pennsylvania area. Mansfield / Wellsboro is the general area.  I have called a bunch of attorneys, but none of them handle evictions.

We will be hosting the FIRST EVER #RealEstateRoundTable at the Canandaigua Boylan Code office on Friday, January 31st starting at 2 p.m. We will have pizza and soft drinks for all! 

If you or someone you know lives or works closer to our Canandaigua office, please invite them to attend or share this post with them!  Please RSVP by letting me know you will be there or email [email protected].

Some of you may be familiar with the Boylan Code Real Estate Round Table that is held each month in Rochester.  The Canandaigua round table will be a networking session.  In this first meeting, Attorney Jaime Cain will discuss the format and content provided in the monthly round table meetings. Jaime recently returned from Albany and will give a recap of Lobby Day and model the impacts of rent control as we move forward in 2020.

Hi all, can anyone recommend a good real estate attorney near Flint, Michigan? I have a commercial property under contract and want a local attorney to review my contract and advise me of anything I should be looking out for.  Thanks!

@G Brian Juk!

Hi All, are there any flippers near the Corning, NY or Mansfield, PA / Wellsboro, PA areas?  Looking to have a roof replaced in that area, and I'm looking for an investor friendly roofer.  Thanks!

@Evan St. George, I don't know what your financial situation is, but the huge advantage of owner occupying is you can get a low down payment loan (3.5% FHA, 3% conventional, etc). You wouldn't be able to do this if you purchased with an LLC. As always, consult with an attorney, but I don't think an LLC is crucial if it's your first property. An LLC is to protect your assets and separate liability. If you don't have other assets, there's nothing to protect. As you move forward in your investing, yes, you should put the properties in some sort of entity.

Hi @Jah Brooks, welcome to BP!  If you get deals, the buyers will come.  I'd be interested in anything you come across that's in a decent area - especially outside the city.  I personally wouldn't bother building a buyer's list.  For me, that would just be a trap to keep me from taking the important action of hunting down deals. You do have to make sure you have a good deal with some meat on the bone for your buyers, but once you get that, the buyers will flock to you. Just attend meet-ups, network, post on craigslist (you could be doing this at the same time as looking for deals). That's the easy part. Finding good deals should be your focus in my opinion. This means estimating ARV, rehab, and getting the deal under contract with some room to spare. It's not easy, but it's definitely possible! Good luck!
