Checking back on my post above.  Looking to recommendations to secure the common entryway to our buildings.  Thanks!

Hello BP,

Finding affordable and quality snow removal has been an issue for us the last few years, so we are exploring the idea of bringing it in house.  We currently have 2 larger apartment buildings, some 4 plexes and single family homes.

What equipment would you recommend getting?  We have explored leasing tractors with a blade, but didn't get very far last year.  Would you recommend a tractor with a blade, a Gator type with a blade, go for a truck, or something else?  We currently have one Toro snow blower and some shovels that got us through the rest of this year, but want to upgrade a bit to be more efficient if possible.

I appreciate the advice.

Hey everyone! Please join us on Wednesday (4/06) at 6:30pm for our 20th monthly investor meetup!

We welcome back Ashley Nelson and Luke Terrill for our first repeat guests! Ashley and Luke specialize in short-term rentals in the Cedar Rapids area (yes, Airbnbs work in Cedar Rapids too), and are graciously willing to work through a recent deal with us in our Share Your Success segment. If you've been keeping an active eye on the market in recent weeks, you know that it's as crazy as it's ever been and rising interest rates aren't helping anyone find cash-flowing deals. We've recently turned our attention to STRs as a possible route to continue acquiring cash-flowing real estate, and we hope Ashley and Luke can help us limit our inevitable mistakes. If you've been curious about jumping into short-term rentals as well, this month's Meetup is for you!

Hey everyone! Please join us on Wednesday (3/02) for our 19th monthly investor meetup!

We will start by walking through how we quickly analyze multifamily properties and share a sample calculator with anyone looking to get into larger properties. After a high-level analysis, we'd love to see how other investors approach these deals and gather some questions and answers from the group to make everyone's next deal go more smoothly! We hope to see you there!

We're talking Multifamily investing this month, and we thought a great way to get into this topic would be through another Share Your Success segment with syndicators Allison and Payton Mackin. These guys are young and accomplished, putting together out-of-state syndications while living right here in Iowa!

We look to expand on their stories with a brief overview of multifamily analysis and operation, followed by a group discussion on these topics. Please bring your questions for Allison and Payton, and anything else multifamily-related!

Please join Doug and Austin for our monthly real estate meetup!  This month we will start with our "Share Your Success" segment where we will dig into a recent deal of a local investor.  From there, we will then focus our discussions on 1-4 unit investing.

Please join Doug and Austin for our monthly real estate meetup! We've built a portfolio of over 100 rental property units in two short years as partners and wish to network with others that also want to build wealth through real estate investing! Our intention is to aid new and experienced investors in achieving their goals however we can!

Based on a lot of feedback in our Meetup Surveys, we'd like to review several "Value Add Opportunities" that can make your current investments perform better, or allow you to find deals that others are missing. We'll also touch on how these same opportunities allow you to buy more properties in a shorter time period by pulling out the added equity to recycle the same set of funds. If you're not finding deals, or cash flowing as much as you'd like, please join the discussion and see if you can find some strategies that might work well for you!

Hello BP,

We have two apartment complexes (A 46 unit and a 63 unit) that we are looking for snow vendors for in Cedar Rapids and Hiawatha, Iowa.  If anyone has any referrals, please let me know.

Thanks!
Austin

Hey everyone! Please join us on Wednesday (11/03) at 6:30pm for our 15th monthly investor meetup!

We're eager and excited to network this month, and we're kicking it off with a short "interview" with one of this group's investors to discuss a recent multifamily acquisition. Hopefully his story will calm your fears about jumping into larger multifamily and give you the motivation to scale your own portfolio!

We've also received several questions surrounding the topic of building a team to improve the performance of your investments, enabling you to grow faster. This, and many other topics, will be discussed during our investor breakout/networking sessions. We look forward to questions and input from all of you fellow investors! We hope you will join us!
