Thank you for the response Ronald, however we are not focused upon residential, at this time. I will keep your project in mind, should this change. 

The sectors we are interested in are healthcare, casinos, resorts, and large urban redevelopment projects ( mixed use ).

Greetings,

I'm starting out in REI with a goal of commercial properties but ultimately seeking a foothold to get started.

I've looked into my local area, Nacogdoches, TX, and not found much in the way of active REIAs, meet ups, etc.

I absolutely cannot wait to grow to the point where I can devote some funds towards masterminds and other various networking and coaching groups. I think the return there will be phenomenal. "Surround yourself with those who are only going to lift you higher."

So for now and until I put in the work to get noticed, I really just want to be able to talk with like-minded peers as I start my journey.

I'd like to have a few contacts to text with, call, zoom, etc so we can: build each other up, have a sounding board, reality check, hold accountable, and grow together. I'm so enthusiastic about this and I don't have many people who would appreciate my energetic sharing.

I'm also always looking for opportunities to build mentoring relationships. I truly believe in bringing value to others to move us all forward.

Any other crazy-motivated novices open to this?

Any experts need some problems lifted off their shoulders?

Thank you for your consideration!

 Thank you! In a case, I am ready to buy in bulk, where would you recommend should I go?

Thanks

After a pipe broke in the attic of my two story multi-home, I faced a lot of issues with my general contractor and plumber in particular. Leaks still prevalent in pipes and refusing to fix them, contractors worker and his family squatting in my home without my permission, and lazy work done to finishes of the home. It was a nightmare to say the least and I had to figure out a lot of stuff to fix the problems myself.

I like to think of myself as someone who isn't afraid of getting down and dirty and doing the hard work. Someone who wants to know everything I can about the things I love, including real estate and home the systems in a home work. As a new Realtor and someone who plans to buy and house hack many more multi-units in the future, I'm thinking about instead of using my GI Bill for a Masters, perhaps getting certified in multiple trades to further my education on electricity, plumbing, HVAC, and building. Even if I'm not the one who originally has to build a home from the ground up, I want to know the basics of how to do things myself or at least know enough to check and make sure things are done correctly.

Any thoughts or suggestions from anyone who feels like they have a great amount of knowledge about what goes into a home and any licensing they suggest is the most important? Or how to go about getting certified? Personal experiences dealing or feeling similar to me after a bad experience with several "professionals"?

Hi All,

I have a lead on someone that is considering selling around 45 acres in Nacogdoches, Texas. The land is mostly cleared, has three ponds, approximately 5 acres are hay, and is a mix of red clay and dark soil. He wanted to know what I could offer him and I am not sure where to start. Based on some research I've seen that lots that size in that area are going for 5k-8k (with outliers going for more and less, of course). I know the negotiation idea of getting them to say a price first, but this man is just considering selling and I would like the practice anyway of determining the numbers. 

I'm looking for advice on how to come up with a fair offer on vacant land and what sort of questions I should be asking a seller when working with just land. I asked about if the land was cleared or wooded and soil types, but I don't know what else I should be looking for in vacant land conversations.

Thank you,

Ashley

@Mike Reynolds I ended up using JB weld puddy to hold in. 

I think in the next couple of months I am going to replace the door like you said as is cheaper the doorknob.
