Please feel free to reach out and we can further this conversation.

I'm very excited to introduce myself to the Bigger Pockets community.My name is Pete Stevenson and my wife and I recently moved to Boise, Idaho after completing a 16-month road trip from Seattle, WA to the tip of South America.As we settle into our new lives in the USA, we are in the learning phase of real estate investment, soaking up as much new information as possible and preparing for our first deal.

Any BPers with any tips for a newbie?

Roof may need some work and there is a 2 car garage in terrible condition that might need to be torn down to make room for tenant parking spots.Property 2: On market 90 dayslist- 199,900 (considering offer of 178k)Taxes- 5400Rents-975PITI-1600Good neighborhood but further from colleges and down town area than property 1. outdated building, black mold in attic needs to be removed, basement is in rough shape and needs to be overhauled.

you got it Joe, let me know if I can help further.

I think you will be overwhelmed if you do not have a solid grasp of what you are looking for.It sounds like you are looking for a B or C class building so that you would have the opportunity to do some value-add.Are you looking for office buildings, retail, etc?

Just a heads up for all the people out there who are advertising their units. There are some surly characters on Craigslist that like to steal your ad and entice people to send them money. The typical scam is the tell...

We look forward to getting further connected with the Bigger Pockets community and the local North San Diego County REIA! 

We do put out a little basket but it’s more like just a cute greeting with an envelope to tip the housekeeper.
