Hey, @Daniel Cruz I'm also in the nuclear industry. Isn't it just a great way to jump start your real estate investing?! I'm an I&C First line at the power plant in Iowa. I did 6 years in the navy as an RO.

Sounds like you're doing well!

hey guys, if you're local around Cedar Rapids, I have a fridge for grabs. The picture is of one in my house, but the one available is still in the plastic. I bought it for a flip and now realize the fridge is too big for the kitchen (bought a counter depth fridge as a replacement). Let me know if you or someone else is interested!

Hey Cedar Rapids Investors,

The local REI Group is meeting on Wednesday, February 18th at 7pm at the Cedar Rapids Public Library... if you didn't already know :).

It'd be good to put some more faces to names if you're free that night.

I saw a couple of you on the Meetup.com site had RSVP'd as going, so I'll see you there!

@Mogen Keene  Welcome! I know this is an older post, but I'm just now catching up. Your situation is similar to ours. My husband is a contractor and does all the work on our fix/flips, we also have a few rental buildings. Good luck in 2015!!

@Thomas Fosnaugh  & @Justin S. thanks for the information! Similar to you, Justin, our house is priced above $300k and I know there's always little movement in that price range. I suppose I'll just keep my hopes up. I figure tax return time is a good time to sell a house, no?

Good morning! Have any of you investors in Cedar Rapids used IAHomesForSale.com?

We have decided to sell the house we live in and move into our 'flip' house... I just listed our house FSBO on the above website, but was wondering if anyone has had success in the past using it?

Thanks!

Nice flip, @Tyler Smiarowski ! I like those cabinets from Menard's. I was hesitant because of the white trim we have, but it looks good in your house so now i feel better, ha!

@Scott Justason  Ha, yes Ryan is definitely more scary than Olin! 

Yes, please let me know your initial opinion of that guy!!
