Hey Lincoln Nebraska investors make sure you schedule our next networking/meet-up in your calendar. February 8th at 7:00 p.m. We will have some local pros answering questions about wholesaling. We still plan to meet at Scooter's 68th and O next to Best Buy.

More information is available at our Facebook page: Lincoln Real Estate Investors.

Last month was crazy awesome with almost 40 people at our first meeting. Thanks for showing your support! We look forward to meeting more of you Monday night.

See you then.

we actually have several things going on. In Lincoln we have a meet up but its not on the meetup website its on the Facebook page Lincoln real estate investors. Another investor is starting a REIA in Lincoln. There is a REIA in Omaha the 3rd Monday of the month.

Brian,

Nice to meet you, and welcome to the community. Get in contact with Jeremy Prunty. He does a ton of business in Fremont. I think his business is called Bronte Corp.

No, the housing market here is so tight everything is being filled right now.

 I believe you can even do some of the work yourself as long as you get it inspected as you go. The problem may be getting inspectors to call you back if you are not licensed.

I don't even bother calling inspectors anymore, I let my licensed contractors do that. They know the inspectors and get a quicker response.

The contractor should be licensed. If they are doing the work, you don't have to be licensed.

-disclosure: I am not a lawyer, nor am I offering legal advise.

Lincoln Nebraska investors, I started a Facebook page for us to post deal and services on. Lincoln Real Estate Investors. Hope it's okay to post a link here. If not, email or message me and I will share it with you.

Aaron, What'cha got?

I wouldn't recommend estimating getting higher than comps until you have done several in that area and know for sure you could get and extra $20-40K. Especially if you aren't using higher quality materials like granite, hard wood floors, high-e windows, top end appliances and new trending fixtures.

Everyone, please mark your calendar for the second Monday of every month 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. I will be searching for a larger venue to hold meetings, so if you have a good place let me know. In the mean time assume we will be meeting at Scooter's unless you hear differently from me.

At this early stage we want to add a little structure to the meet up so from 7:00 to 7:15 there will be open networking. From 7:15 to 7:30 we will briefly answer some questions about Lincoln Real Estate investing. From 7:30 to 8:00, we will give investors a chance to pitch any deals they may have including wholesale and turnkey. From 8:00 to 9:00 more open networking.

Please invite other investors, contractors, mortgage lenders, REO agents, short sale specialists, developers, renovation cleaning services, stagers, photographers, inspectors, title companies, appraisers and any other related fields.

As we become more organized, we will become a REIA, and have featured speakers such as successful investors, CPA's, Real Estate Lawyers, City Planners, short sale specialists and other professionals.

I am currently an active member of the Omaha REIA and encourage all of you to attend that meeting the 3rd Monday of the month. Carpool if you need to. I will Be consulting with Andy who runs that group to help us structure our group. If you have experiences with REIA's from other cities, please feel free the share any outstanding ideas.

Thanks again for supporting the first meet up!
