Thanks @Sean Thompson! It was great to connect with you, glad to help! I love talking strategy!

Hi @Elias Hay! I'm a realtor and investor here in the Boise area and it is a very competitive market for 4-plexes right now. If they have any kind of decent cash flow they are gone in a day or two with multiple offers. It's been an especially busy time right now with a lot of out of state investors coming into the area. Not many MHPs pop up on the market, but they do come up from time to time. If you like mobile homes though, there are plenty of those that you could buy one by one, just harder to find a whole park. If you want to talk about it more I'd be happy to chat sometime!

Hi @Blake Thompson! You've picked some great places to invest! I'd love to connect sometime when you're in the area and hear what you're looking for and talk strategy! Also, I'm always happy to connect you with my team of contractors and other vendors to help you get started here. 

Hi @Sean Thompson! Welcome to BP and nice work on converting your house into a duplex! Navigating planning and zoning is no small thing! I'd love to connect sometime, talking about real estate investing and strategy is one of my favorite things to talk about. I'm an agent in the Boise area, but have been an investor for 12 years now and it has afforded my family so much freedom, I love to share my experience with other people. Let me know if you'd like to connect sometime!

@Steven Soden Every once in a while an old 4-plex comes up, but there are many. Something to consider that I do see more often is two old duplexes that are on the same lot or being sold together. Let me know your timing and I'll keep my eye out for you. Have a great weekend!

@Steven Soden I think that is awesome if you have the lifestyle flexibility to house hack, you definitely should! I'm an investor and agent here in the Boise area and the method I think is best is finding a duplex (or 4-plex depending on your budget) that needs some updating and live in one of the units while you fix it up. I prefer this method to single-family because you end up with two doors and you didn't have to rent out rooms to roommates, which is not ideal when you're married :) There are also some possibilities of finding a property with a small garage or dwelling unit in the back that can be flipped or converted while you rent out or live in the main house. I'd be happy to chat with you about some of those opportunities around here and other strategies to consider!

@Brian Liddy yep! It's still red hot! BUT there are still deals to be had and cash flow to be found :)

Hi @Josh Jack! Jonna is right, you will love it here, everyone does! It all depends on what you're looking for. Star or Eagle have more of that small town feel, but Boise and Meridian have better access to the freeway and more retail. I have two small kids as well, it's a great place to raise a family and enjoy a little slower pace of life. Let me know if you'd like to connect when you're in town! Also, my husband works in commercial construction management and I'm sure he'd be happy to talk to you about that.

Hi @Katharine Wright! I am a real estate agent and an investor here in the Boise area, but I am also very familiar with the Bend area as my in laws live there so we are there often. Several of my clients and extended family have been looking to get out of their investments in Oregon and into Idaho because Idaho is much more business and landlord friendly. Also, Boise is growing just as fast or faster than the Bend area so I think you will find great asset appreciation in either location. I would be happy to chat with you more about both areas if you'd like!

Hi @Tyler Martin! I'm a local investor and real estate agent here in the Boise area and would be happy to connect anytime and give you a lay of the land! Also, I'm always happy to recommend any type of contractor or vendor you might need to build your team here, happy to help any way I can!
