I think having a website will serve you well. You can post all the info you have on a house and push people to the website vs. fielding all their calls. It will probably save you time. 

How can we help you in your investing career?

Come to the next meet up to get your questions answered as well as network with local BP'rs.

This local BP real estate meet up is for people in and around Los Alamitos, Long Beach, Seal Beach and beyond. I want to invite you to our FREE monthly event. This is for new investors and experienced pros, for buying locally, out of state, note buyers, JV partners, syndicators and any other type of real estate related investment. Seasoned investors will be there answering questions for newbies.

***The event is FREE and there will be absolutely NO sales pitches for books, seminars or guru’s.***

When: The Last Wednesday of the Month
Time of the event: 7PM
Location: Taco Surf restaurant 10542 Los Alamitos Blvd, Los Alamitos, CA 90720
Fee to attend: FREE

Thanks very much and I hope to see you at the meet up.

Best,

Hi @Greg Yantzer this would be a perfect meet up for you to attend. The last one was probably half new investors that are looking to get started. The next one will be the last Wednesday of May. 

Thanks to everyone who came last night! Next one will be the last Wednesday of next month. See you then!

Thanks very much Steve!

Can anybody recommend a Painter, Plumber, Framer and Electrician? I need to rehab some apartment units in north Long Beach ASAP. 

Thanks very much!

Hi All,

I'm a full time investor and one of my goals this year is to start a new meet in OC, preferably somewhere along the 405. I'm looking for either a restaurant with a room they'll let me use for free or more likely a mortgage broker or real estate agents office who would like a ton of leads from the meet up. I don't have any ulterior motives like to sell a book or a program, I legitimately just want to have an event to give back. 

Can anyone make any suggestions of locations or connect me with someone with an office space? 

Thanks very much.

@Jason Malabute welcome to dealing with OOS contractors...

As far as using your CC to buy stuff, I'm not a big fan of that anymore. Why put your money out for things if they'll just share their receipts with you. Let them take the risk. If they'll let you pay what's on the receipt and they don't up charge you then great! Mitigate risk! 

#9 Yes you should be concerned! Maybe every sub should sign off on being paid before the next draw. 

#11. LOL. No matter what don't give them much money to get started. HOLD them to the rule of no update pics NO MORE MONEY. Treat them WELL. 

Good luck and if you want to run some names of general contractors and regular contractors by me feel free. I won't bad mouth people publicly but I will tell you the truth over the phone if I know them. 

Hi @Thuy Twee Nguyen and welcome to BP. If you have any questions about Indy from another out of state investor feel free to hit me up. I LOVE talking real estate and especially Indy RE. 

@Zach Hoereth I know it's probably not what you want to hear but I agree whole heartedly with Ryan. Some area's have taken huge leaps and bounds in the last few years and it's not fair to rate them A,B,C, etc. It's also block to block and you REALLY need to know the area. I live in California and have studied Indy for the last 5 years and still consider myself a newbie. 

There are some experts like @Ryan Mullin who you'll want to talk to if you're sending clients to Indy. I can give you a few more names if you'd like, DM me.
