@Jim C.,

To answer your question, yes a meet up is still an active idea, but no it has not happened yet. I have spoken with many local investors who are interested, but we have not set a time or date yet.

I would be interested in getting together for coffee or something this weekend. I will message you my contact info.

Sounds great James. I will let you know if we get something going.

Looking to see what kind of interest there might be to have a meet up for Kenai Peninsula real estate investors. I don't mind organizing it. I am just trying to see how much interest and where people might like to meet. Add some comment and let's start brainstorming.

If it comes to that, I would love to be able to pick your brain a bit. What kind of terms are you typically able to get?

@Roy Schauer, thanks for the referrals. I may also be looking for real estate attorneys who specialize in documents and transactions for an upcoming deal. It just depends if it can go traditional bank financing or not.

@Roy Schauer, Do you know if they have worked together? I would like to schedule a meeting with both parties to help decide what legal entities will offer the most protection, tax advantages, and ease of daily use for my personal situation. I appreciate your recommendations. Thx

Any attorneys or accountants outside of Alaska are welcome as well as long as they are licensed in the state.

I live and invest in the Kenai and Soldotna areas. I have worked with local attorneys and accountants and am not real happy with my results. I have found that most professionals in our area are not specialized in RE and have more general practices because of the limited population. They are kind of the "Jack of all trades" of law or taxes. I understand why they do not specialize, but that does not negate the fact that I really need to some very specific advice.

Does anyone know of a good real estate attorney or accountant in the Anchorage bowl or on the Kenai Peninsula? Any referrals would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I do not know the Anchorage market well, but we seem to be seeing the same thing in the Kenai & Soldotna areas. Prices are high, especially on 2-4 unit buildings. I am not sure if it is because of a shift as those down south are stating or if we are just growing. Our area is seeing a lack of housing because of oilfield related work in the area. If the LNG plant is built in Nikiski it will definitely be a game changer. What are your thoughts?

I live in Soldotna and have found Alaska to be a great place for buy and hold rentals. Are you planning to invest in Bethel, other parts of AK, or down south? If AK, the Kenai Peninsula and Anchorage bowl are great places to look at :) If you have any questions about the Soldotna/Kenai areas let me know.
