@Brandon Crouse, I highly suggest coming to the Olympia REI meetings at Ramblin Jacks. I'm new to REI as well but the info I've gleaned from the other investors has already helped me get my first deal!

@Jake DeAtley and @Justin Koehn, thanks for the heads up! I'll be sure to fill everyone in on the details of the deal at the next REI meeting at Ramblin' Jacks.

Hi All,

I'm looking for licensed, bonded and insured contractors in Olympia, Washington to give quotes for a rehab. We are doing a conventional rehab loan and it would be helpful to have a contractors present during the inspection so I can dial in upfront what my rehab costs will be.  I'll have a better idea of the repairs needed later this week, but right now it looks like some light kitchen work (counter and sink) and possibly baseboard heater replacement throughout. 

Note: If my offer gets accepted, inspection would take place sometime in the first couple weeks of October 2018.

Thanks!

Thanks @George Blower, @Kevin Romines and @Robert Freeborn for the warm welcome!

@Davido Davido, you have definitely piqued my interest.  I will send you a PM.  Can you try sending the link again?  It is not working.

@Andrew Hodgson thanks for the tip, I will plan on being there for the meetup at Ramblin' Jacks.  @Cj Juan good to meet you, thanks!

Hi all! I recently moved to the Olympia / Tumwater / Lacey Washington area and am ready to jump into my first real estate investment. I’ve been listening to the Bp podcasts for a while and I feel ready to jump in and start investing in real estate. Specifically, I am looking for a duplex or triplex to live in and rent out the other unit(s) and begin to “house hack.” The good news is that I quality for a great first time home buyer conventional loan to buy a multi-family property with 5% down. Now I just need to find a great deal so that the numbers will make sense and cash flow in this hot market (easier said than done)! I am preparing to begin a campaign knocking on doors and sending yellow letters to buy a multi-family home and would welcome any advice and/or encouragement you all have to offer. Thanks! Skyler
