If it's a nice house/neighborhood with minimal repairs and a high chance of large equity gain down the road, 0.8% might make a heck of alot of sense. 

Many of these investors are using 1031 exchange tax benefits to transfer assets from higher priced markets to Boise.  

Just trying to build clients and gain more knowledge of possibly building relationships and a possible buyers & Lenders list!!!

RealeFlow or ListSource should have that for you, and the benefit of having that list could also be if you drill down the rabbit hole, you can find the corporation/person who is buying those houses with cash, so you can try to get in touch with them.Congrats on the new venture with your husband.

Ned,Thanks for your reply and yes, maybe I'm over thinking this and I agree, I should definitely consult a lawyer, but I'm trying to gain as much knowledge as possible first before I make steps to pay for a lawyer.  

The benefits of Net Zero Projects are irrefutable.

And as a side benefit...I feel that once you put a name to a face and have the personal interaction, they might be more open to working with you (even if it's not intentional).

A lot of money for the benefits.    

I would love your advice on the best meetups for a newbie like myself, who is looking to invest in a property to flip at first (to gain a cash base) to later be able to own multiple rental properties to accumulate passive income and grow equity.I appreciate the help in advance!

Flipping provides a short term gain, which typically people use to get started in rentals or some other form of passive income.
