Hello everyone, just a quick self-introduction to the community:Real Estate Investor and Private Lender in FloridaOwned, operated and sold multi family properties in South FloridaPrivate Lender for 2+ yearsFocused on SFR and 1-4 unit property lending (investment property) in FloridaHappy to help anyone in the community and looking forward to meeting all of you!

Starting off, it's all about the learning experience for us.My family is looking to start investing just south of Raleigh (Clayton, Smithfield, Goldsboro) next fall.

I look forward to meeting all the crazy BP members in Denver at one of the up and coming meet-ups.I live in south Denver (Centennial) anybody live close?

I currently find deals with in NE Oklahoma with the intentions of expanding in the next few months to cover more of South and Midwest regions.

Some popular rental areas are North Park, Hillcrest, South Park, and even Golden Hill.

I have a landscaping customer of mine that currently has one of her properties on the market (2bd/1ba) for $38,872 located in the south suburbs of Chicago, IL.

The Midtown direct train has had major impacts upon other towns, like Maplewood, South Orange, and Orange so chances are the same will eventually happen to Bloomfield and other towns along that line.Let me know if you need access to lenders that may help fund your opportunities or if there's anything else I can do.

I really am in love with the south right now, particularly some of the nicer areas of memphis, Houston, little rock, and even some parts of Austin (although it is getting pretty pricey)Thank you for the awesome input guys, I know out of state investing isn't for everyone, but I don't plan on jumping in without putting in some serious research and networking time.Thanks again guys.

Currently, we call home South Florida/Delray Beach.

With floods of deposits and few investment options besides loans that yield more than a percentage point or two (coupled with a hot local CRE market in Silicon Valley/South Bay), banks are fighting each other over lower-risk, variable-yield assets..
