@Salvador SantaAna that would be a great topic to discuss!  I am in the process of trying to get a speaker for the meetup.  If we can't get a confirmation by tomorrow, we will go ahead and move forward without one.  Does anybody have a particular place in mind?  Our house is always open.  We live in Horizon.  Unknown if that would work for everyone.  

Perfect!  We are trying to get something together.  Will keep you updated. 

Thanks Valerie, I have responded.  We will have a date soon.  Excited to meet everyone!

Awesome!  @Valerie Lopez, feel free to message me so that we can get something going.  I would say we can try a restaurant that we would easily be able to social distance.  Maybe next Tuesday at about 7PM? 

We just completed our first buy and hold and feel we need to grow our network to continue to grow.  

My wife and I are new to REI, but we have been buried in books in an attempt to educate ourselves further. COVID seems to have slowed our network growth. We will continue to search for any groups currently getting together in the El Paso area. If there is absolutely nothing else out there, we could get something going, even its only a few of us in attendance. I am sure there is something that we could all learn from each other. Please let me know if you all happen to come across anything.

Itzel, I was not able to pull up that info.  Is the group currently holding meetups? 

Happy New Year all!  Does anyone happen to know if any meetups are still being held in the El Paso, Texas area?  We are hungry to expand our knowledge, network and to bring some sort of value to others.  Hoping and praying to have a big 2021!  Prayers to all for a healthy and prosperous 2021!

Thanks for the reply AJ!  There is currently no loan on this property.  My parents were asking for $65k in return.  The benefitted me as I was able to rehab the inside and out.  I am currently exploring my options.  Thanks again for your reply and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hello BP community,

We have been members of BP for a few months now and have recently "purchased" our first SF buy and hold property.  The house is a small two bedroom/1 bath in El Paso, Texas.  The property is about 900 SF and is currently valued at $92k.  My parents previously owned the property and have agreed to transfer it to my name.  The plan was to rehab, obtain a cash out refi and give my parents the $65k they were looking to get back from the property.  We have completed the interior and fresh exterior painting begins tomorrow morning.  The exterior should be complete in about 1 1/2 weeks, to include landscaping.  We wanted to poke all you experienced investor's brains on this one.  Would anyone recommend any alternative way to get my parents the 65K they are asking for?  We have considered refinancing our current home and using that to get the 65k back to my parents.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you all in advance.  Have a safe and blessed holiday season!  GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

I am glad to see that we are not the only beginners here in the EP market.  Do you all happen to attend any meetups here in EP?  We would love to get to know some of you all and grow together.  The fact that we are all on this forum says something about our goals and our willingness to follow through with them.  Would love to have a lunch meetup if any of you are in!  Maybe we can get a "newbie REA" going here in EP! :)
