I appreciate you finding this article. My fiancé and I are moving from Humboldt County in Northern California back home to Napa County, CA. Cost of homes is insane. We are about to get into a fixer and rehab over 2 years. This article is going to better explain what we are getting into for my fiance. Thank you! 

Awesome thanks Dan for the recommendation. I'll have to check them out. 

Happy Friday! Does anyone have recommendations for Construction companies or GCs. I want to start reaching out to see cost/sqft or likely cost for converting a garage.

Good morning. I live out on the coast in Humboldt County. I wish I could make it to some of your meetups and keep expanding my network. I'm getting interested in making additional units out of decent sized garages and finding vacant lots to build a spec house with an attached ADU. I'm interested in making connections with developers and GC out in your area because cost of building out here is higher.

Dan and Kyle and I were talking briefly last night about property or lots with timber on it to harvest. In CA you can only do a one time 3 acre conversion of land zoned as Timber Production Zone. So in other words you can't cut all the trees and subdivide and develop the land. However you can harvest trees on your property. Cutting some and thinning them out. If y'all ever have a property that has timber on it let me know because me and the Forester that I work for can help guide you to necessary resources and do a timber appraisal

Sounds great you will see me there! It will be great to see and talk to you all.

Good morning everyone. I am bummed I've missed out on the past meet ups. Life has been pretty hectic through the holidays until now. Planning a wedding, studying for a professional license, deciding if we were going to move or not after getting married. But anywho I'm all settled down and sorted out much more. Honestly if ya'll haven't read the One Thing I highly recommend it. Really helping me get on track. I hope to connect and meet up soon at the next gathering.  

I loved meeting you all and Dan thank you for organizing this all it's fantastic. I've been feeling for a long time I need to add people in my circle and around me that want to work to build something for themselves. I second everything said above about future meetings. I think it would be useful to look at example deals to run numbers to see how everyone thinks. I also like the idea of topics. At least for me top of my mind is valuation/running comps and pursuing off market deals. It would be great to have back and forth on topics other than just in my head. 

As for meeting spots I might have one for future use. I live out in Korbel behind Blue Lake in company housing for GreenDiamond. We've got a couple buildings we could use for sure as long as I give someone a heads up. Definitely out of the way for most but that option is there for the future. 

Thank you I will make this one. Working in the woods it's impossible to tell when I'll get off. But I'll be there tonight.
