Paying for leads? Why not mine the Jefferson County Clerk's website for pre-foreclosure and probate leads you can have for free — with a little effort and know-how? Tamara West shares her screen and walks us through the process. And also shows how we can maybe find some private lenders there.

Quick question: When do you need a dumpster permit? Or, what is the minimum number of drywall sheets you can install in your rehab project before a permit is required? Watch March 9's Lunch & Learn video replay with Louisville Building Inspector Amanda Jessee to find out the answers to these and many more questions. You'll probably be surprised!

Amanda spent about an hour going over permitting requirements, answering questions, and teaching us lots of things rehabbers need to know. She even walked us through how to use Lojic.org to look up zoning info and download a property's land development report.

Everyone knows that wholesaling is the quickest and easiest way to put cash in your pocket in the real estate business.

The problem is, most people don't actually understand what it really takes to do wholesale deals in today's seller's market.

Vena Jones-Cox does, because she wholesales a deal about every 12 days, and she's been doing it for over 2 decades in hot markets and cold. She shared her in-the-trenches experience with us at our March 25th main meeting, showing us how to put $10k in our pockets in 30 days.

She talked about how wholesaling works today — it's a very different business from what it was even a year ago — and what you need to do to get started right now. She also described which properties in which areas make for the most profitable, easiest-to-sell wholesale deals, and which you should avoid because they're huge time-wasters.

In the early meeting, attorney Chris Wakild taught us about how the tax lien investing process works in Kentucky.

In all you'll find over 4 hours of real estate instruction, real estate talk and Q&A. Watch this members-only video. (You'll need to be logged in as an active KREIA member to see it.)
