LFT REX January 2024 Meetup!

We moved our meeting back a week to avoid the extreme cold that's coming in a few days. Here is your chance to connect with local investors and build our teams with some new contractor connections.  Follow the link for more details.

Happy New Year, See y'all there!

Yes, I've been the "winning bidder" below the reserve a couple of times. I didn't end up buying either one of those properties. That was on auction.com. They were terrible at negotiating. Instead of countering me, they would just say, how much more will you pay - as if I might like to bid against myself?

They drop their reserves after the properties go through a few rounds of nobody meeting the reserve. Whether that gets low enough for you before it gets low enough for competing bidders determines if you will end up buying.

You have to have your cash lined up to buy from auctions. Whether that's your own cash or OPM, you have to have it ready for the buy and the rehab.

Hey Larry,

I'm local to you. I primarily invest in Lafayette and Baton Rouge markets, but I am very familiar with the market in "the berry."

I am an investor with a real estate license. I can help you with good comps to help determine the value of the property. I've purchased an investment property from xome earlier this year too. So I'm familiar with that process. Feel free to reply here or you can call or text me at my contact info below.

How's it going Zach? Welcome to BP. Yes, we have a meetup group that meets on the 3rd Tuesday of the month in Lafayette, LA. You just missed our meetup last week. I would send you a link to the site, but there's this rule that only allows links to such groups in a specific type (networking) of message thread. Message me and I can send you a link that way.

Connect with local real estate investors and learn about Historic Tax Credits at our next meetup!
