We actually have 3D printed structures starting here in Redding, CA. The first will be for housing the host of a local park. There's another entity (Access Home) that will be doing affordable home options; and I just met with them yesterday to get more information, as I'm very interested in concepts that will help bring more affordable housing to our high demand area. 

Though in its infancy, I think it's the wave of the future, along with the flat packed homes built in factories and shipped, such as Boxabl. I think the biggest hindrance is the ability for companies to ramp up production fast enough to produce high enough quantities. 

@Ranjit Sandhu I am a Realtor and Licensed General Contractor in Redding, CA. Your post asks bout 95001, but Redding is 96001, 96002, 96003. I have built spec new construction here of all different types. Though I do not have any STR, I am very interested in the niche, and had BP start the forum for it a few years ago.

If you have any questions on the area, or real estate, please post them and I'll be happy to answer. You can click on to my website and search for homes so that you can get an idea of what our local market is. 

Redding and Shasta County both allow STR. We have a beautiful area with lakes, rivers, caverns, waterfalls, and 2 active volcanoes nearby. It's a recreation paradise.

We had one new person, and 2 of the usual suspects at the Redding Shasta County Meetup last night.  Unfortunately we don't have enough BP members come consistently to support a meetup of just BP members, therefore; we discussed the idea of possibly opening it up to a larger audience. 

Please let me know your thoughts on doing that, and also, what is it you're looking for in a meetup. Are you looking for deals, partners, funding, networking with like minded people, contractors, ideas, tax professionals, other members sharing updates, photos etc. on their projects, guest speakers, etc. 

Your responses would be appreciated. 

@John Fakish is it on sewer or septic? How do you know it's to code? If a fire starts because of improper wiring and burns the whole house your insurance won't pay. What do you have as far as access in and out of the basement? Is it at ground level or below grade?

@Howie W. Who allowed access for installation? Did you know it was installed? Did you think it was free? Pay for it and get a property manager that knows how to handle maintenance. If you don't pay the contractor can sue you and lien the property.

Are any of you going to make the meetup?

Who is planning on being at the meetup this week? 

Asking $175,000 . What could you do with this? Talk about an Airbnb opportunity! Boutique hotel?  Retreat facility?  Fitness camp? This is it! 

Don't miss your chance to own a piece of history! The Historic Westwood Hospital was built in 1914 by the same Red River Logging Company that brought us the stories of Paul Bunyan and Babe the big blue ox. The Hospital features multiple wings of patient rooms, an elevator, a giant kitchen, multiple waiting rooms, large fireplace, a spacious third story apartment, and so many other fascinating features just waiting to be discovered. The hospital operated clear through the 1970s, and is a treasure trove of rich American and logging history. With possible funding available for the restoration of this once glorious building there is so much potential for just about anything you can imagine here. This incredible diamond in the ruff is located in the small town of Westwood California.

Talk about a fixer! Westwood, CA it's a MONSTER!

Go for it! Real Estate is about building a network of people, getting to know them, etc. If you're in a new place, get involved with things that interest you. Get up to speed on the local real estate market. Go to open houses. Find out if there's any BP meetups there. You might want to get in with an office that has opportunities for training, etc. Another way to learn the business is by working for an agent that needs an assistant, a title company, developer or ?  It let's you learn the process of real estate listings and sales, escrow, title, appraisals, etc. and helps build a foundation under you. Good luck! 

Quote from @Tim Deimer:

@Karen Margrave

I've never heard of ANY auction anywhere with those terms. Of course I've never even been tempted to bid in CA

I wasn't saying at the auction those were the terms. I was stating that if he bid at an auction he needed to check the agreement that he signed and find out what the terms were. 

The rest of the post was addressing all those on the thread saying you never get your EMD back. I was stating that in CA most often, you do.
