Join myself + @Dima Suslikov for our weekly workshop!

Because we didn't have workshop last week, we are going to try to combine the general topics of discussion. We usually keep to Q&A format anyway, but try to give higher priority to those topics folks want to hear on, which are on our Meetup's calendar.

In this case, it will be combined between Notes + Private Lending and Flips + Development. So, bring your questions!

See you there!

Do you like Cigars? Do you like chatting about Real Estate with like-minded folks?

Join us @ Lit Cigar Lounge to enjoy both of those activities at the same time! This is a limited RSVP event, so, please make sure to RSVP via Meetup link below.

As far as topic for discussion, we thought with us being in the beginning of 2017, why not chat about goals and strategies to achieve them? But if nobody wants to chat about that, we can shift to any other topic.

By the way, you don't have to smoke cigars to join the group :).

See you there!

We are working on a subdivision that will probably take 1+ year. After subdivision is approved we will either build or sell separate lots or both. In the meantime, we would like to rent out the lot to somebody :) The question is who might want to rent an empty lot?

The lot is 4 acres, fully fenced, wooded with a trail running around the perimeter of the lot with some clearing in the beginning of the lot.

It's secluded and doesn't front a street. It's accessed through a wide easement on the lot in front of it (that we also own).

There are no utilities on the lot, but all utilities are in street.

It's located in Tacoma, near Seattle, WA.

Please, share your ideas of how to make money off it.

Join @Dima Suslikov and I for our weekly workshop on many Real Estate subjects. There is no formal presentation, we keep our workshops as Questions / Answers format. While general topic for this week is Accumulation for Capital utilizing Cashflow / Rentals, Adding value, and Appreciation - we keep it open.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Join @Dima Suslikov and myself for an evening of great networking + information.

Last month, we had quite a few people come, and while we usually give about 30-45 minutes to networking, we ended up giving 2 hours to networking (and we almost felt bad for cutting it "short") - as folks were having so many great conversations.

The topic of discussion is around Marketing / Wholesaling / Acquisition Strategies - so, we are happy to answer any questions you have related to these topics. Otherwise, we can tackle any generic or specific Real Estate topic.

This event is also potluck-style. So, feel free to bring something to share with other folks - but not a requirement. We will also have Beer + Wine to share!

We are combining this event with another Meetup group that we organize, so, be sure to sign up to be informed about upcoming events :

• https://www.meetup.com/SREIISeattle/

For more information about this event :

• https://www.meetup.com/SREIISeattle/events/2366041...

A special treat will be by our own, @Kevin C., an executive Chef + director of awesomeness at Sound Housing + co-organizer of another great Meetup (that we always encourage folks to sign up for!), who will surprise us with either BBQ Chicken Wings or Swedish Meatballs.

See you there!

Will see you next month then :)

Hey BP Members! Join @Dima Suslikov and myself for the last workshop of 2016! Since subject of this weeks' workshop is related to SAFER Real Estate Investing - we usually chat on Notes. However, the reason we also put Private Lending into the subject is NOT to imply that it's a safer strategy, but rather chat on subject of Private Lending. There are soooo many investors who are doing a terrible job of protecting their Private Lenders, and a lot of times, unintentionally put their Private Lenders at more risk than necessary.

Frequently we are joined by other expert guys like Kevin & Bob - who are happy to share their knowledge on subject of Notes. We also get frequent visits from our great friend, and awesome Real Estate Attorney, @Scott Hildebrand - who is a wealth of knowledge on many subjects.

We keep our workshops to Questions / Answers format, with no formal presentation. So, be sure to bring your burning questions! We are happy to chat on many subjects of Notes.

And if you are an investor who raises $$$ from either other people's investment capital OR IRA Accounts, we can talk about how we go about protecting our lenders - and may be something you should be implementing. If you are a Private Lender, this might be a good topic for you to hear on.

Anyway, if you are not a member of our Meetup, be sure to join in :

Also, we will be placing a Group Food Order, so, if you'd like to participate in that, be sure to have your order submitted by 5:15PM on Wednesday (December 28th)!

We will see you there!

Whatever route you go, you are selling securities. Therefore, you need to consult an SEC attorney. I'm not an attorney, so everything that I say below is not a legal advice and all this info has to be verified with an SEC attorney. Usually, one private lender per project is an exempt from filing. But in this case, there can't be any other financing (bank, hard money and such). If you are stacking lenders, then in 13 states you will need to file with state's securities division, in others you won't depending on the amount you are raising and number of lenders. If you are pooling investors/private lenders, you will need to file under rule 506 (b) or (c) depending on whom you are raising the money from. You will need to provide disclosures, PPMs and such. Like it was said above, with a fund, you will have a pressure to deploy the funds. With finding lenders per deal, you will have to have a list of lenders who can fund your deals on the short notice.

@Ted Klein I just want to add that you have hard time finding deals on MLS that make sense because most of the deals on MLS don't make sense. That's the reality of Puget Sounds region nowadays. Establish connections with wholesalers or do your own marketing to find properties off market.

Also, a lot of multi families are not on MLS and get passed from one agent to another, so find yourself a good commercial RE agent who has a good presence in multi family space and work with him.

I want to introduce a small correction. All HML that you mentioned above do 75-90% loan to acquisition cost, not LTV. All of them will lend only 70% LTV.

@Jan Wanot if you are talking about Iron Bridge out of Portland, I can vouch for them. They are great guys and we had many deals funded through them.
