I agree with Tyler. I'm a huge fan of that neighborhood in Biddo for investing, definitely don't like that particular property at the price. Needs quite a bit of work.

Hey All,
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far. I want to give a huge shout out to Liv for hosting our meetup at her home in Portland this month, it was a great time. If anyone has a project, flip, rental or just a cool home that they'd like to host our meetup at in the coming months, feel free to reach out to me and I can arrange it.
Our Portland meetup will be back at Bunker Brewing this month on Wednesday 8/10 beginning at 5:30pm. I'm looking forward to hearing what's new in everyone's investing journey!
Cheers! Dan

@Aaron Wadsworth - @Linda Garcia makes some good points about not limiting your search to only local lenders. However, Maine is all about small business and if you are targeting any properties that are listed on the market, listing agents like to see buyers that are using local lenders. Every time I submit an offer with a buyer from a big bank or national lender, they ask me if the buyer has been pre-approved with anyone else. It can legitimately hurt your offer in a competitive situation. With this being said, I would encourage you to talk to some big banks AND local lenders before making a decision. Shoot me a DM and I'm happy to provide a few recommendations for local banks and mortgage brokers.

You're going to want to reach out to the city, like either the Planning Department or the Code Enforcement Office and ask what their requirements are for a condo conversion. They will most likely want some form of the following docs:
- Existing Building Plans that are drawn and stamped by a licensed architect
- A full survey
- Condo Docs that are written by an attorney
- Some sort of notification that is sent to the tenants and neighbors informing them that you intend to do a condo conversion
Hope that helps!

Hey everyone, this month's Brunswick meetup will be on Thursday 5/26 back at Flight Deck. @Robert Beardsley and I are looking forward to seeing everyone there. We are doing our Portland meetup this month in a private box at the Sea Dogs game, tomorrow evening - so there won't be a brewery meetup this month. I hope to see everyone on 5/26!
