@Mike Nelso Hi Mike just looking to connect with people in the tri state area. Do you go to any RE meetups in Fargo?

@Athan McCollum Hey Athan, I am also looking for connections in the same area. Do you go to any of the RE meetups in Fargo or GF?

@Ed B. Thanks for the advice.

@Otto Kinn Thanks for the tip

I'm looking for members in the northern midwest area ND, MN, SD, to connect with and have discussions with. Anyone out there?

How does one find investors without just plain asking people? That seems a little on the spot. I'm looking to grow my portpolio in the northern midwest area-ND, MN, SD.

I recently bought a house that needs some renovation. I could flip it or rent it out. I am looking for a more detail excel spreedsheet or other tool to help me create a budget for this project. I've seen the BP analysis tool but feel I need a bit more thorough one. Does anyone have one they are willing to share or tell me where to get one?

I live in North Dakota and started buying real estate on my own as my husband was not keen on the idea. I have 2 SF homes and a 4 plex currently. My husband doesn't have much time to help me as he farms and his time is kind of rare. I want to buy and flip however I have never done this before. My question is regarding hiring contractors. How does one make money when the contractors in my area charge the going rate? I know I need to get the best price when I buy but even still I think the end result is going to get eaten up by the contract labor. I do as much as I can regarding demo but limited. I do have a line of credit I can access for expenses and labor. Need tips on flipping and hiring contractor.

There's a house that went to sheriff's auction in ND and there was no bidders. I was the only one there. My question is what can I do now to acquire the property? The opening bid was way too high so I didn't bid. How often does a bank negotiate after auction? I've spoken to the homeowners to hopefully work with them for a win win for both of us. They are receptive to it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

How can I get started investing in SFR away from my home state?
