Newbie Introduction for Spokane, WA and Coeur D'Alene, ID

[Jason Munck]

Hello,

I'm new to the community and real estate investing. I currently rent out the last house I lived in and it's been good to me. I would love to do more.

I am interested in Rehabbing/flipping and spec building as a way to build capital to make buy and hold purchases.

Right now I'm in the research phase; reading lots of books and, of course, biggerpockets. I would love to connect with other investors in the Spokane/CDA market. In particular I would like to know:

1. Referrals. Anybody have good referrals for RE Attorneys, CPA's, Investor Friendly Agents in Spokane/CDA?
2. What's going on in the market? What's working, what's not.

Thanks everyone! Excited to get involved.
