Welcome to BP. My wife and I are in the Cedar Rapids/Marion area and are just wrapping up rehab on our first duplex for a long term investment. BP is a great place to ask and get answers. Happy flipping!

Please let us know when you expand into the Cedar Rapids area too.

Welcome Brad. My wife and I are new to investing too. Just got out first purchase agreement on an investment property in Cedar Rapids. We'll be moving out residence to Marion soon.

Good luck to you. This is a great place to get questions answered and learn from others.

Thanks. This will still come in handy for an upcoming project.

Brandon recently did a webinar on buying old houses. He addresses the concerns and gave direction on what to look for to minimize that risk.
