Although we may not like to admit it, as real estate investors, we generate a lot of waste. Construction debris from renovations, abandoned tenant property, or even just black bags of household waste, dealing with dumpsters is pretty much par for the course.

As the General Manager of Brewer Transfer Station, Mike Hamlin knows trash! He's graciously offered to provide us with a run-down of the "dos and don'ts" of waste disposal, what types of fees to expect, and some great tips for saving time and money on your waste disposal needs.

Whether you're just starting out or you're a real estate veteran, consider yourself invited to our Central Maine Investor Meetup.

We meet on the first Wednesday of every month so mark your calendar for monthly evenings of cold beer, tasty snacks, and an abundance of great real estate conversation.

Please click the "Attend Event" button if you plan to attend so we can get a sense of numbers and please share this event with anyone you feel might benefit from attending.

We look forward to seeing you there!

PRO TIP: If you'd like an email reminder of this event please PM me with your email address.

Although we may not be ready to admit it, the heating season will soon be upon us. Don't delay your heating system maintenance until cold weather hits. Get out ahead of the weather for peace of mind when the temperatures start to drop.

Preparing for winter is a way of life here in Maine and Shane Bond from SRB Plumbing & Heating will be sharing maintenance tips to keep our heating systems ready to go.

Hi @Richard Thoms.  When you get to Maine be sure to check out our monthly meetup group in Bangor.  We post it in the "Events" section of BP and I'd be happy to add you to the email reminder list if you PM me your email address.

As a value-add investor, there are very few experiences worse than being handed a laundry list of building code violations for your property.  Despite what it seems, Code Enforcement isn't "out to get you". They're not trying to "take you down" or put you out of business. Building codes were established for public safety and I think we can all agree that safety on our property is a top priority.

As Director of Code Enforcement for the City of Bangor, Jeff Wallace has the difficult task of balancing public safety with neighborhood re-development. He joins us to talk about the nuances of working with Code Enforcement throughout your next renovation project.

Jeff and his team are involved from initial planning and zoning, through periodic inspections, all the way to issuing a certificate of occupancy. Jeff's advocacy for common sense interpretations of the code make him a valuable partner for investors working in Greater Bangor so this is a meetup you certainly don't want to miss!

@John Keeler  Yep, every month like clockwork.  We post the event on BiggerPockets (usually toward the middle of the month).  You can also PM me with your email address if you'd like to receive our reminder emails.

With Independence Day right after our monthly meetup, many folks will be traveling (or already at their destination) on the 3rd.  However, we'll still be getting together for drinks and great conversation so if you're in the area on July 3rd be sure to come on by!

Warranty, Quitclaim, with Covenant, Without Covenant... Deeds and title work can be a minefield! 

Imagine closing on a property only to find you don't really own it, or there's an extra lien on it. These types of issues can be disastrous for real estate investors and requires proper care and attention. That's where good title work comes to the rescue. 

As owner of Cumberland Title, Matthew McDonald has seen his fair share of real estate title issues. He's graciously offered to share the pitfalls to avoid when buying or selling property and how working with the right title companies and attorneys will help take your game to the next level.

@Derrick McAdam -You can also check in the Events section of the BiggerPockets website in a few days. The next meetup will be posted there soon.

Hi Rob. You can find the details at the top of this page. Yes, this meetup is on May 1st at 7:30pm at Nocturnem in downtown Bangor.  Hope to see you there!

Finding property for sale is easy! The MLS is full of people trying to sell their homes at retail pricing... However, as investors, finding DEALS is not straight-forward and in today's real estate market, savvy investors are turning to creative sources for deals that work.

As an investor, entrepreneur, and author of Real Estate Investing Made Simple, Ed Emmons brings a world of experience to the table. He buys deals from a variety of unconventional sources and has graciously agreed to pull back the curtain on these methods.

Don't miss your chance to learn how the pros find the best deals and set themselves up for success!
