Hi everyone! 

My little brother is looking for a house in East Saint Paul, White Bear Lake, or Maplewood. Anyone have a flip coming due soon? Or a duplex they wanna sell ?  Just figured I'd toss it out there, to see if I can help my little brother out! He's looking in the sub-$200,000 range.  Hit me up via email if so! (I don't always see all my PMS) - Brandon (at) BiggerPockets (dot) com.  THANKS! 

Whoop whoop! I’ll be there! Been meaning to try out Gannon’s since arriving to Maui! Seeya all there! 

(And hey -  Oahu / Kauai / Big island  people ... don’t be afraid to jump over for the day! It would be great to see you all!) 

@Patrick Franta Be there in 5! Meet by the skating rink and we’ll decide from there?

Hi all! Two of your favorite podcasters in the world are in Kihei on Maui this week! (No - not Joe Rogan and Tim Ferriss... sorry!) 

And we wanna eat your food! :) 

Me (Brandon) and David Greene (the new cohost of The BiggerPockets Podcast) are hosting an official BiggerPockets meetup at Kalama Beach Park on Thursday evening. 

Pot Luck Style! (Which means bring some food to share!) 

Or ... if no one brings anything, we’ll order a pizza! ;) 😂

Let’s talk real estate, and surfing, and syndication, and multifamily, and the crazy price of Hawaiian real estate!

So let us know below if you can make it! Drive in from Kahului or Lahaina or Hana or whatever! Let’s do this! 

(And if we’re lucky ... rumor has it my wife Heather and daughter Rosie might be there!) 

Let’s meet on the ocean side of the kids playground, near the roller skating rink. We’ll try to snag one of those tables, but if not, we’ll hang on the grass! 

So - I’m moving to Maui, at least for a while. And I have a baby grand piano at my house in Montesano (45 minutes west of Olympia) that I need to move. So- what I’m looking for (and asking you beautiful people for ) is someone who can CRATE the piano, and MOVE it out of my house and into a shipping container. It could be someone from Seattle, Olympia, Grays Harbor, or anywhere in between. Anyone know a good mover or someone experienced in crating and moving a baby grand piano?

hey Bob- I like the numbers, but my concerns would be on the repairs at $100/mo and capex at $100/mo. I'd probably do that amount for a sfr or maybe a duplex - but this looks a tad bigger. That said - it's got the room, it just might lower your ROI some if you put something like $200 each /mo.

Also - double check that taxes won’t increase when you buy the property. Good work! Let’s us know what you end up doing! 

and don’t be too worried about Grays Harbor. But I think it does take localized knowledge to know where to buy and where to avoid. 

@Scott Graham thanks dude! We really appreciate that!

Kinda late to the party here, but congrats!!! Remember: the goal of the first deal is to gain knowledge/experience. That $200 a month might not seem like a lot - but it's SO awesome you did it. Keep going! Whoop whoop! 

Dude this is amazing! Love it! 

Dude! This is amazing! Thanks so much for sharing! I've done the same thing with the Calc reports. People underestimate the power of a professional presentation when trying to get financing! Rock on dude! Onto the next one!  :)
