I got my offer accepted today on a HUD home that was winterized a contractor. We will be seeing record breaking temperatures around the Quad Cities this week and I want to know if HUD normally winterizes boiler/radiator systems? Not sure if the system is water or oil or if it was filled to begin with. The listing agent has no details and my buying agent isn't having any luck getting an answer from the listing or HUD. Wondering if anyone has been through a HUD home with radiators being winterized...long odds on that one

Luckily it is suppose to warm up by this weekend for the inspection

Thanks

Nate

I live just North of the East Village and as Shawn stated the area is very desirable but it completely depends in which direction and what street you are on, even to the point of which block of said street you are on. If you want any assistance I would be more than happy to help.

Shawn Faris sorry for the delayed response...I am looking at a conventional loan with a down of 10-20% but on the lower end of housing prices(30-50). I also realize some banks don’t like to loan on sub-75k houses.

Which small local bank have you had the most success when it comes to REI in the Quad Cities? Looking for a local bank that can give an answer for a loan in less than a month, the way it seems larger national banks operate. Would be willing to relocate my personal banking if that would help. Thanks Nathan

Hey @Mike Paterno, sorry I won’t be able to make it to your event due to my current work schedule. Just moved up to the QC for my job last fall and want to start investing in the area. I am sure we will meet sometime

Wish I could make it but my current employer has me on the afternoon/evening shift...Hoping for some morning coffee meet ups in the future.

@alan bock ...wish I could make it but my company currently has me working a back shift eliminating all my afternoons/evenings. Trying to make the best of it though and going to check out the Tuesday courthouse auctions for some possible investor conversation.

Hello everyone, Moved up to the QC for a new job last summer and now wanting to start investing in the area. Looking for some advice on local contractors, investor agents and the such. Any general info would be appreciated I know that I basically asked for everything anyone could ask for but I also wanted to get a conversation started for the local QC peeps, getting to know the people and love the area! Nathan

Jay Hinrichs What you are doing is truly gracious in every since of the word. I have been wanting to get into REI for years now but have never had an abundance of time or contacts to find private investors. I have attended a couple of REIA meetings with SSIC (southside investment club) and have enjoyed meeting the people and discussing the market. My girlfriend and I (hopefully fiancé shortly, no worries she isn't on BP) are looking for our first investment. Thanks Nathan

Thank you...I certainly do appreciate it
