Hey guys!  Thanks for the replies!  How do I get info about the Bend group?

I would love to start a meetup, just want to see who is out there and what the interest level would be first.  In the meantime, maybe something more casual.  It would be great to meet for lunch on a Saturday sometime.

Bleu, you don't happen to be the art teacher at MHS, do you?  I taught there for five years.  Great place!  So many incredible educators there.

I am a newbie in Madras, OR, and just purchased my first duplex. Even though we have previously rented out two of our primary residents, with a whole host of ups and downs, going through this process has been totally new in so many ways. I have experienced a huge learning curve! I have looked around, and don't know of an REIA or meet-up group specifically for folks like us. Is there a group of investors/lenders/wholesalers/etc. interested in starting a Madras/Redmond/Prineville meet-up? Sounds like there are more of us out there than I initially realized. Let's help each other out!

Welcome to Central Oregon!  I just purchased my first duplex in Madras, and it has been quite a ride!  I'm a bit of a newbie, and we're out here in the desert, so it's great to see others from the area on this thread!  

I recently came across privatemoneygoldmine which has lists of private money lenders. It looks different than most list generators since it claims to have a list of people in my area who have actually signed up on their website specifically saying they have money right now that they are looking for someone to lend to as a real estate investment.  On my side, there is a list of names, how much each person has said they want to lend (ranging from $5k to over $1m), and the interest rate they will be asking (I've seen 5-30%).  If I pay a one-time fee of $97, I get the contact info of each person currently on that list.  And for a monthly rate thereafter, $29, I get updates every time a new lender signs up.

So, has anyone heard of this website?  Is it legit?  What has been your experience with sites like this?  It seems like most sites don't give you any more than a public records search would yield, but this site purports to connect with you with people who actually have money to lend right now.  I'm all about networking and building a good investor list of my own, but this could be another good resource. What do you think?

Thanks in advance!
