I also like the idea of not having to work for the man down the road if I don't feel like it anymore.I am interested in land investing (yes, still, and I'll make a separate post about it) and buy and hold.

I'm looking for a person who is interested in becoming a property investor in Northwest Indiana who wants to become a successful buy and hold property investor.

It's the Northwest Real Estate Investors Association, http://www.northwestreia.com/, and they hold about 6 or so meetings a month, all on different topics and in various locations, from Vancouver all the way down to Eugene.If you're just getting started, then you may want to attend a meeting or two to see if it's a good fit for you.Regards,Randy Johnston

I will be focusing primarily on the Northwest metro Atlanta area for rehabs and hopefully some buy and hold units.

In the Pacific Northwest we are looking at close to $150.200 a square foot for base construction.

I am new to rental real estate, but very familiar with the field as a practicing Civil Engineer in Land Development for the past 5 years.  

I just wanted to reach out here and see if anyone knows of any banks in Northwest Indiana that could help me with this kind of thing.Here are the criteria that I need:No seasoning periodBased off of Appraisal, Not purchase priceQualifying based on the asset, not on w2 (I have no w-2, and about a 650 credit score)The property would appraise for $220,000+ and there is currently a $115,000 first position on it that I would like to get paid off, and put the remaining cash in my pocket. 

Flood zones would have to be considered in the new build of course.   29407 is a hot commodity right now so it does sound like there could be some potential.in the Northwest we have WAFED  Washington Federal they specialize in portfolio loans for owner builders. then will roll it into a perm.. pretty cool product..

My plan is to purchase several multi-family properties in the Northwest OKC area in the next few years to provide enough cash flow to cover my basic living expenses.  

My properties are on the north and northwest side.
