Good evening BP world,I am looking to make some contacts, specifically RE agents and hands-on investors in the phoenix area, in order to start acquiring some value add SFH investment properties.

.**** My current issue with the lender that I recently spoke with was that I had to have experience building a SFR on my own property and have sold or refinanced and held in order to be approved for the loan.

Your biggest issue is that $50k may not let you get a nice house and have any reserves.

I'd be happy to connect further regarding your questions about more specific and nuanced details. 

A way around the whole issue is something we occasionally consider.  

Hi Edward, To connect with more advanced investors in Spokane, start by exploring local real estate meetups through platforms like Meetup.com, Facebook groups, or BiggerPockets forums.

Hello Denis,I apologize for the delayed response; I’m new to the platform and still getting familiar with it.Let me quickly share a bit about myself.

You are so right about analysis paralysis 😁Not too concerned about mechanics though I would like to learn more about how to best use CRMs (specifically freedomsoft), but also would like to learn specifics regarding forming LLC structures and tax strategies 🤔

Property taxes and insurance costs are best obtained through local county websites or reaching out to insurers directly for quotes specific to the area.Tools like BP Pro and Reventure can be helpful for an overview, but it’s a good idea to validate their data against primary sources to ensure accuracy.

I have pulled a permit for removing a fireplace, but probably would not have but I had a significant remodel going with permits and did not want hassle of him making an issue of removing the fireplace (the inspection for fireplace removal consisted of only verifying gas cap was in visible location, he did not even spray it).
