Want to get started in real estate investing!

[Bethany Berger]

Hello! My name is Bethany Berger and I am extremely interested in becoming involved with real estate investing. I own a home in Post Falls currently and want to find a way through private investing to buy a second property in the area. I am interested in flipping at first to build some capital. In the long term, I would like to have several homes that I rent out while doing a flip here and there. 

I am interested in meeting like minded individuals and learning about the business!

Hi Bethany,

I'm also a new flipper in the Post Falls area. I'm just closing on my third deal. 

I would highly recommend attending Nick Bevridge's REI Club meeting once a month: http://nickb.kwrealty.com/cp/investors/ It's the best way to network in the area IMHO.

At the meeting there are usually private money lenders that you can meet and speak with.

You'll probably learn (if you haven't already) not to waste any time on the MLS right now. It took me a while to figure that out. The market is just too strong and if a a good deal hits the MLS it will invariably be bid up until it is no longer a good deal as a flip. There are wholesalers in Spokane that you can buy from if you're not averse to doing flips in the Spokane area.

Best of luck!
