SO, you want Rental Properties you say? You want the monthly cashflow, potential annual appreciation, tax benefits, and a growing real estate portfolio?

GREAT. 

But the question is, are you prepared to be a landlord? Have you built the systems to run a smooth management operation? Are you considering all the different factors of being a landlord? 

Even if you aren't ready to be a landlord now, there's no reason you can't start building a solid system for when you do acquire that first rental property! 

We'll be discussing:

- How to analyze a rental Property

- Single Family Vs. Multi-Family Rentals

- How to find the best tenants

- Renting to family and friends

- Evictions

- Maintenance & Repairs

- Keeping your Vacancy Rate LOW

The RAM will have a full food and beer menu available to us as we dig into this topic. So come hungry and thirsty.... TO LEARN!!!!

This is a flip I personally took on in late February, and now is complete and for sale on the market! I'm holding an open house on Saturday, and would love to show you how I completed this flip with none of my own money.

@Nicholas Zaharevich, what's up man? It's funny because I'm positioning myself to trade my rentals through a 1031 from Spokane onto this side of the mountains so I can be more involved (and cash flow better, obviously). 

Natalie mentioned my meet-ups. We've got a large group of connected investors in this area. You're welcome to join the conversation on our Facebook Page. But we do also host in person events. Our next one is Wednesday if you'll be in the area. Here's the link: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/479854-investor-title-policies-and-investor-discounts 

@Natalie Kolodij, thanks for the mention. I appreciate everything about you. I don't care if I move to the moon, or Mars, or wherever. You'll always be my CPA. By the way are spacecrafts tax deductible if I need them to sell land on another planet? lol

This is one of the most complicated and in depth topics for investors. SO, I'm bringing in our resident expert from First Amercan Title and Escrow to discuss some investor specific Title Topics. Some different things we'll be discussing: 

- Types of Title Policies

- Buying with an LLC? - Risks

- Importance of contacting Title Officer – early in project phase

- Broken Priority on Remodels

- Questions your Title Officer will ask

- Investor Discounts – title and escrow

- Q&A

This will be great knowledge if you're investing in flips in WA State! 

In addition to discussing our topic, there will be a designated time for networking. Lots of Vendors/Investors receive invites to these events, so you never know who you'll be sitting next to! Could be a General Contractor, Wholesaler, Property Manager, Real Estate Agent, etc!

 Hey Scott! We do have regular meetings! The next one is on the 23rd at 7:00pm at the Ram in Puyallup. After that, it's every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month at the Puyallup RAM. We'd love to have you! 

Hi @Oliver Graham! We'd love to have you! Nothing you need to do or bring, other than an apatite to learn, and maybe a notebook. Other than that you can plug into the club's facebook page, which is above. That'll ensure you get updates on all of our events. Look forward to meeting you! 

@Tyler Vlasak, I'm never one to push anyone in any specific direction. However, just a little fyi, I am hiring agents! If you're free, swing by the meeting in Puyallup sometime. I think we've got a lot in common to talk about. We front load a TON of start-up costs, and allow you to build your own brand. Worth a 15 minute chat if nothing else.

@Natalie Kolodij, thanks! 

 I'm not really sure why it did this. Bigger Pockets won't let me change it. 

@Jake DeAtley Is this not what you see at the top? 

Need to COOOOOL OFF from this crazy heat? This week, we'll be diving head first into the

topic of the BRRRR Strategy! 

What is BRRRR? How does it work? Can I use the BRRRR strategy in my business plan?

How do I calculate a BRRRR deal? How is BRRRR different than Buy and Hold?

Those are all topics and questions we'll be discussing. Come join us!

****We've moved to a new time of 7pm and new day (Wednesday) to encourage more participation!****

In addition to discussing our weekly topic, there will be a designated time for networking.

The Ram will have a full menu available, and the bar will be open!

Lots of vendors/investors receive invites for these events. General Contractors, Lenders,

Title and Escrow Officers, Wholesalers, Property Management Companies, Agents, etc

could always be at these events. Who knows who you'll meet!
