Hello @Carl Washington, I know I'm super late but did you ever find a title company to work with in the Houston area?

The height of the ceiling has a big impact on how good the basement finish "feels" though.I don't know what your regs are up in CA but down here basement space is not usually considered in the "official" square footage- although many realtors list the total finished square footage (including basement) anyway when they list a property.

I had a PM from another member about a meeting he is sponsering, well I got his invite about the online meeting, as well as 3 REIA Meetings here in Washington, two in Seattle (to far) but the third one is basically here in Lakewood/Tacoma area at the La Quintan Inn and Suites on E. 27th Street, I just need to googlemap that to see exactly where its at because I don't remember a La Quintan Inn downtown Tacoma, but I do know there is one not to far from where I live, but I thought that was Steele Street hmmm oh well I got until June 19 to find it, and even put that in my Google Calender to remind me so I won't forget lmao.....

If you want a CPA perspective, there is a CPA in Washington who has some free guides on both S-Corp and LLC's for all states. 

Hello,

I am looking for an opportunity to learn the ropes within the Real Estate industry. I know some of the basics and am trying to expand my knowledge.

I'm willing to volunteer for a broker or agency ...

I'd recommend something simpler:"We flip houses"or"We'll bird dog in Seattle, WA for you"

I interview Terry Lewis on what Real Estate Agents and Brokers can do in California, Arizona, Oregon and Washington States with Seller Financing.http://reiskills.evsuite.com/terry-and-brian-talk-seller-financing-1-of-3-realtors-and-low-equity-deals-1/No links

It is in Medford but you can get there by the Orange or Red line and a bus, or it is just a 2 mile walk from Davis Square if you do the Red.

You come in and get the $20K w a private lender, with jv agreement to resell ASAP.

However; in those markets sometimes builders are buying houses to remodel, add square footage, etc., so look for houses where that's possible.
