I plan to attend!

@Claire Fenton thank you so much for letting me know about this, I will definitely join! I had no idea there were public BP meetings in my area. Is there a way to sign up for the meeting or do I just show up?

@Steve Allen yes I am planning to live in the property! At least for 2 years which I believe is the requirement for these types of loans, correct? I would consider 83714 if I found the right deal. Nampa is not an option right now, but Meridian would be doable. I currently live in Boise 83705.

@John Shackles thank you so much for the information! I will start doing some research in that avenue. I really appreciate the help!

@John Shackles, @Nathan Carter

Thank you so much for your feedback! I don't know much about wholesaling. Any recommendations on the best way to do some research? I have been looking into 203(k) loans where I can include the cost of renovations in the loan amount - is this something that is recommended? I have the option to purchase the property with a partner so we were looking at "fixer upper" type properties for that reason. I also wouldn't mind having roommates, that was my plan in order to cut down on monthly expenses - I am just trying to figure out the best way to go about it. I am aware Boise is a tough market right now and I as well have seen some price cuts, hopefully that means good things are coming! Thanks again for all the help!

Hello all,

I am a newbie to real estate investing. I have gone through the process of speaking with a realtor and applying for a loan. I was approved for a $155k-165k loan and with this being my first time buying, I'm wondering what the best option is for cash flow in my first investment. I live in Boise, ID. There isn't much on the market in my price range, I originally was thinking of buying a home - but now I am searching different apartments/town-homes/condos/duplexes. Any advice would be very much appreciated as I am just getting my feet wet and would love to start off on the right foot. Thanks in advance!
