Hi, I am closing on my first property and would like to connect with local lenders, property managers, handymen/trades, and other investors.

As an investor myself, I'm constantly on the hunt for coastal value (hence our most recent Mexico STR and coastal Oregon since 2018) and having lived in many of the most desire-able coastal cities like Ft Lauderdale FL and Venice Beach CA, I'm convinced the Oregon Coast provides some of the strongest relative coastal value and particularly oceanfront property in the continental US. 

I normally tell my investor/house-hacking clients here in Colorado Springs and Denver to buy as soon and as frequently as they can.

For mortgage originators, real estate professionals and investors, the 4.65%-4.45% drop in the 2-Year Treasury should result in banks lowering Jumbo & Super Jumbo Mortgage interest rates next week Conforming and Government loan products are also seeing improved pricing.

@Bob Stevens“Investor friendly” (insert type of contractor you need) - everytime I hear that I think - they want the cheapest price available.Saw a post recently on here someone complaining that tenant was complaining hvac was not working and they were doing trial and error to fix it.

Ensure they have robust risk assessment protocols in place.Ask how they assess borrower creditworthiness and property value.Examine Legal Documentation:Carefully review all legal documents, including loan agreements, investment agreements, and any other contracts you will be required to sign.Consider having a legal professional review these documents to ensure your interests are protected.Request References and Testimonials:Ask for references from other investors who have worked with the firm.

For CA investors Nevada has many tax, landlord, and market job growth advantages.

In my mind, pretty much anyone who buys a duplex or any multi-family home is either a RE investor or an aspiring RE investor and brand new duplexes, what I would consider not typically the best/smartest deals, are still being purchased left and right. 

Personally, I started out as a bird dog and wholesaler finding deals for other investors in single-family homes.

I often see investors pair a traditional LLC with a Series LLC to function in this capacity.
