Hi Tim,

Thanks for the feedback and advice! I'll definitely look into open houses of new developments. I didn't know that was available. 

Hello,

After looking at single family houses to buy in Northfield, MN, it turns out with the same money I can build a new house to our desire. The builder helps to secure the land and even take on the construction loan if I make a decent downpayment. For one agreed upon price, the builder will buy the land, prepare the land, build the house, insure the project themselves, and then once finished, turn the house over to me once I've paid off the balance.

The question for anyone out there with some experience doing this in MN, which builders offer the best value and are the most reliable? Anything else I should be aware of if I go down this route?

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be grateful! Thank you!

Thank you everyone for making it out to the June Seoul Real Estate meeting even though it was pouring and thundering outside! It was great to see some new faces and also to catch up with some older members who were able to join this month. Thank you for your extra questions and perspective!

@Chris Clothier

People told me they learned a lot from you Chris and really appreciated your talk. Thanks!

I'm looking forward to it! Thanks!

@Roger Vi

Thanks for the info! I've actually being following a lot of properties in King and Snohomish counties. I particularly like Shoreline since it has some really good schools in the area. Thanks for willing to answer some questions. I'll be in touch soon!

@Edward Seid

For MFRs, are you syndicating deals or approaching local banks for commercial loans? Ideally if I moved back, I would like to buy a MFR, live in one unit and rent out the rest. Thanks a lot for the info! I appreciate it.

@Tim Herndon

I totally agree with you! Thanks for reaching out and I hope to meet up someday in Jax!

Awesome to hear you are doing so well! 

If you find any deals you would like to wholesale for a buy and hold (SFR or MFR), or a flip, please PM me. I prefer deals in the Murray Hill/Riverside areas if possible.

Thanks!

@Rey OrinionThanks!

@Kevin and Lance: I have really awesome partners who live in Jacksonville. They already had real estate investing experience and were willing to work with me from abroad. I met them through BP, and they even visited me in S. Korea! 

Hello!

I'm currently living in Seoul, South Korea, and I will be visiting family in Seattle (Queen Anne) next month. In the near future, I plan on returning to the States and may move to the Seattle area.

If anyone is interested in meeting up and talking about the Seattle Real Estate market, let me know! I would love to actually visit some up and coming neighborhoods and some houses on the market if possible.

I currently own a rental property in Jacksonville, FL (thanks to BP!), and I hope to grow my portfolio in different areas of the world. I'm definitely still a newbie and have a lot more to learn. I look forward to connecting with you. : )

Thanks!

@Brandon Turner Thanks Brandon! I've got my Keyword Alerts all set up! Thanks for personally reaching out! I appreciate it! I plan on upgrading my account soon.
