Does anyone have connections in Pueblo Colorado? We are traveling there in early November and would love connecting with resources before we leave.

@Heather Reed I will land around 3. Please message me your contact info and I will reach out as soon as I land. At the airport waiting to board the plane now.

HEY EVERYONE! I’m flying into Denver today and looking to get a lay of the land and make some connections. Is anyone on here in that area and able to meet? I would love to connect. If you are in the area and not able to meet but would like to connect, please message me! I’m looking to flip there and possibly flip and hold for the right property. Thanks!

Greetings, In looking outside my local market and state, How do I determine the neighborhood class. I’m aware of the crime map on trulia and working with Realtors, but anyone have other strategies? Thanks!

I’m not sure this is in the right section, but when I find investors, what is a common payment structure? Is it a percent of investment amount? Or is a percent of profit involved. I’m not sure how to structure the deals. Thanks!

Greetings BP community! I am looking to do flips using the BRRRR method and househacking. I am needing to dive into networking but unsure where to start. I’ve never had to network before and live in the perfect place to network, but I’m having a hard time identifying opportunities. I live in Santa Barbara, CA. (I’m not planning to invest here) There are tons of investors but I need to figure out where to go to connect. Thanks for your creative ideas!

I saw the comment in the thread about checking the crime heat maps.... the problem with that is while it may seem helpful when looking in areas you don't know, I just cross checked it with my own city (Santa Barbara CA) thinking to myself "I bet there is almost nothing here" because it is extremely safe here and found it looking just as bad a Chicago. Then I realized it was a map comparing levels of crime within a city. The extremely bad neighborhoods here based on the map are not actually dangerous at all. It is probably where there is just some vandalism (graffiti by the kids) and some domestic violence and maybe people calling the police on older youth.  We should be aware that the crime is relative to the culture of the community. I am not saying not to use it as a resource, but don't rely on it. You could miss some great opportunities. But maybe follow up asking questions to the local real estate agents who live there.

best,

Christie

Thanks Jason!

Greetings BP Pros!

I have a quick question. If I have an investor who will be covering the cost of the rehab, how do I run the numbers so it shows my costs on that with in the system and in the data it kicks back. When I ran it, I think it processed the rehab costs as a cash out of my pocket expense. I may just be asking if a feature exists that maybe doesn't. Thanks for any ideas!
