Local Networking and Discussion

I first read Dean's books a year ago and have been wanting to get started. Now that I have fully recovered from back surgery, I think I am ready to get this going full speed ahead. In my research on properties in the local area (probably "over analyzing", a Realtor friend told me that WA has a law, RCW 61.34.020, (Equity Skimming) that prohibits "obtaining anything of value from the sale or lease option to purchase of the dwelling for the person's (we REIs) own benefit or use..."
Now, I am not a lawyer (retired military and teacher) and I really can't afford one at this point, so I am curious if anyone has encountered this through their dealings. Call me chicken, but the law says there is a hefty fine and/or imprisonment for violaters.

Hello everyone out there! I have a qusetion, I found a home way below market value and thr reason the owner is selling is because he got an arm mortgage and it shot sky high. He has untill july to do a short sale on his house or it goes in foreclosure. When I checked on zillow it was zestimated at $70,500. He has it listed at $49,900 and said that he would take lower than that, he just wants to sell the house. So the question that I have is do you think this is a deal or should I walk away. I don't know how to negociate this deal an am worried about what he owes. He owes 109,000
an advice is very apprecited.

Hello Investors,

I am looking for Cash Investors in Western New York, specifically Erie and Niagra Counties (Buffalo an surrounding areas), to partner with, network with, get advice from, get coffee for, etc, etc!!

I'm new to this, but am willing to hustle and sweat for any Investors who are willing to work with a wholesaler or offer a finder's fee.

I want to get my foot in the door and could use some contacts and help!

Very new to this site and am definitely inspired by the content and stories of success so far. I am based in Brooklyn, NY and have just began my journey with the Real Estate Academy. It would be great to hear from some other Brooklyn based investors! So here we go!

I have been looking at assignments and it all gets a little confusing. Like a big jumble in the brain sometimes! I just keep telling myself one step at a time. I am looking at several REO's and want to make an offer. I want to assign because like alot of people on Dean's site I have no money to get started. I am looking into back to back closings, but how do I get started with this. Do I need money up front to make the offer to the bank? When I go to closing do I need money or is the proof of funds letter all I need?

I’m looking for partner to do wholesale deals and make money together.
Please contact me to discuss term and condition.

I'm in Tampa, FL and am looking to partner up with someone that would like to mentor and tag team on some deals. I need to get my finances back together. I have been going around town and finding a lot of distressed properties that I have the addresses and pics of but I'm stuck on contacting the property owners. I'm willing to work I just need some more knowledge of the business and guidance on the process and it's off to the races.

I'm new to this and looking to join with someone who is willing to help me learn. I'm in the Milwaukee/Waukesha area. I'm not interested in starting my own real estate empire, I would much rather just be part of a team and make a little money here and there.
I've got some time and willing to work hard. Just need someone who can show me the process and help me learn by doing.
Send me a message if you are open to this idea.

I have located a property in my area that i may rehab and flip. It's in a decent location, good shape and needs some updating but the only problem that is holding this property back from being at it's full potential is the neighbors. They live next door, don't take care of their yard, and there house looks ran down. This house is going to have a starting bid of 10k its max potential is around $113,500.00 after some fix ups. I believe the biggest reason it hasn't sold is because of the neighbors. It is a 3 bed 4 bath home 2,324 sq ft. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

New to the DG Family and am interested in REIs in the Charlotte, NC area. I am also looking for a mentor/partner to assist me in my new endeavors.

Thanks Everyone.
