Thanks @Dmitriy Fomichenko, I'm currently in the works for coffee with a couple of members and I have a mentor through Clark County Renters Association who's also a BP member.  She's the one who told me about this group!  I've been hooked on the podcasts regarding multi-family deals as that's my primary interest but I really enjoyed @Marcia Maynard podcast 83 she provides a link to the questions she screens tenants with!  She's only had 2 unlawful detainers in 15 or 20 years of landlording.  That's impressive!  Check it out and let me know what you think?  Thanks for the warm welcome.

@Kevin E. I hear ya!  I'm not opposed to making it a family affair.  I have 2 little ones of my own.  Think about it and get back to me.

@Jamison Schweitzer... buddy the weather here is unheard of!  Sun in March, wait what!?!  What planet am I on!!!  Thanks for the welcome.

@Kevin E.... Lets grab coffee some time soon. 

@Marlon Wilson... I truly am blessed with the wonderful people I've met recently and I feel I have something to offer them as well.  It's bound to be symbiotic in more then one way.  Thanks for the warm welcome!

@Paul Timmins... Thank you for the warm welcome.

@Chaz Reid... Thanks Chaz!

@Robert Laird... It's good to hear from a local.  Tell me more about your multi-family investment.  Are there any meetings I can sit in on or paperwork I can help you with.  I'd love to learn even the smallest details.

AAAAAAAAAAhhhh!  I'm so excited to be a part of BiggerPockets!  Thanks @Marcia Maynardfor introducing me.

My name is Drew Mim Mack, I live in Vancouver, WA and have a 2/1 single family rental.  I work for a Capital Improvements company as the Senior Estimator.  We are based in Portland, OR and service the apartment and commercial industry only.  I estimate small $700 siding repairs to $1.5m full siding, windows, roof and paint projects and I love my job!

I'm a member of the Clark County Renters Association in Vancouver, WA. We meet monthly, enjoy a meal together and listen to wonderful speakers from Attorneys to Clark County PUD. All new members get assigned a mentor and I appreciate the one on one mentor time apposed to watching YouTube videos the rest of my life.

My goal is to invest in Portland Metro Area multi-family, rehab and flip... I realize I have a long way to go before I can build the capital and my journey starts now.  I already have estimating knowledge and work for a company that does projects like this.  I'd like to build on that platform.

I do building envelope inspections and full apartment rehabs in Portland, OR.  Sometimes my bids are 1.5m and up and we require mobilization $ up front.  30% for residential is fair but write up your own contract for the GC to sign, legal zoom has samples.  Include time of completion with a liquidated damages clause (barring no change orders occur), when and how much you're willing to give, hold 10% until punch list is done, etc.  Check CG certs for dealing with asbestos it takes special training and disposal practices.  If the references are good, you can afford 30% and they sign your contract then play ball!  Start that flip already... every day costs dollars
