Anyone invested in that area that has good referrals or suggestions on companies/individuals who do a great job? 

Derek please let me know if you are still looking to meet up with individuals.

Originally posted by @Russell Brazil:@Jay Hinrichs wife is an agent in Portland, likely with that experience. thanks Russ  we don't work with one off lot buyers..but I can answer the questions generically. hookup fees are 25 to 50k in this market. so pic and average and your fine.other than that as long as your utls are to the lot and its a legal lot of record your good to go.LOTS are sought after in a big way.. pretty tough pickings for individuals to beat the builders out if they do means they paid full boat retail and maybe more.. 

There’s other contingencies you can use too, financing, feasibility, environmental, neighborhood review...Have your DD start the 1st business day after they provide you with all the documents, P&L sure, but also you’d want title docs, details on mechanicals like age, repair history and warranty status, insurance claim history for the last 5 years, every scrap of detail on any pending claims, zoning use confirmation from relevant govt entity, copies of all docs they have received from any govt authority related to the property for the past 5 years... there you’d be looking for code violations, notices from EPA or fire marshal, etc.  

There's a learning curve for investing in individual stocks, ETFs, or mutual funds. 

But the individual condo owners are responsible for the interior walls, etc.Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to this!  

It can be helpful to have an authority figure like your closing attorney to explain the way deals are typically done with the Seller.We've put up earnest money deposits large and small, slowly and immediately to not only closing attorneys but also directly in the Sellers' hands.

:PFor book authors like yourself, things are often a bit silly.

hope everyone is enjoying their Tuesday. i'm looking to Network with other individual who are taking action. i'm marketing in Chester, NY. looking forward to hearing from you guys! 

@Manny CirinoMy favorite is blue ocean opportunities in commercial real estate - incredibly motivating and detailed plus a real story of one of the best real estate gurus whom I met after that and applied his strategy to make money successfullyBtw he practically gives the book away for $2 to help others - well Cherif Medawar, the author is worth millions so he can afford it but the key thing is the content is amazing https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Ocean-Opportunities-Commercial-Estate-ebook/dp/B00EKNF71U
