I am trying to organize a meet up.  

Active, well known real estate salespeople from popular organizations who simply cannot, or are unable to, tell the truth if lying means they can get a check. 

REAPS is a great investor organization in Bellevue.  

It's a non profit organization, most REI clubs are not.No sales, just education and networking.

The earliest I see you getting rid of unit 2 is mid Jan. 

Thank you for welcoming me into this organization and to your success!

If you have questionable morals, there are far more lucrative investment opportunities available to you than real estate (drug dealing, gun running, organized crime, etc.).I have a license in CA and am not aware of any legal or ethical requirement for me to disclose my license if I'm buying a property, as a principal.  

just trying to get organized =)

Any advice is greatly appreciated.David,Here's what I do for my multi-family buyers:Yes it is hard to estimate for maintenance because of a lot of variablesBut I know its expense is less for more units, for things like 16+ unit buildings, onsite maintenance room for storage materials, onsite employees use less hours to do work ordersSome entities even volunteer their residents to pick up grounds, hence minimizing your maintenance costsIf hdsupply.com accepts your account they specialize in multi-family buildings and you don't have to use man power for delivery or pickups And yes, you can do analysis paralysis but it might help you the bank's formula DCRThe 1031 buyers look at expenses differently Yes there's a number per door, e.g. if the units have been neglected you will spend at least one month's rent in turn ready unit expense    An organized well lubricated team should turn ready units in 2-3 daysPay close attention to the human factor, i.e. low self-esteem employees who will take longer to turn ready units or do work orders with poorly workmanship, theft, etc In capital expenses, concentrate in a few and more expensive to start with, AC, plumbing, electrical

The best REI club in Bakersfield is organized as a meetup group.
