REIA of Washington Focuses on Deal Sourcing at Everett and Tacoma Chapters

REIA of Washington’s "Finding Deals" series helps investors reinvent their sourcing strategies to stay compliant and competitive in the shifting WA market.

EVERETT, WA, UNITED STATES, May 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- REIA of Washington continues its popular "Finding Deals" educational series with upcoming chapter meetings in Everett on May 7 and Tacoma on July 16 with education on finding and securing HUD properties. These meetings focus on actionable deal-sourcing strategies essential for success in today’s highly competitive market.

As market conditions and industry laws evolve, the ability to reinvent is vital for real estate investors. This ongoing series helps investors adapt to shifts, such as the recent solicitation law, ensuring they remain compliant while maintaining income levels and continuing to provide quality housing for their communities. Finding additional deal sourcing is a core part of this reinvention, allowing investors to thrive in a changing landscape.

The next meetings in our Finding Deals series feature HUD Expert James Nelson, a fellow REIA Member, real estate broker with Axen Realty, loan officer with NEXA Lending, and a veteran of the United States Coast Guard, who will walk attendees through how to find HUD homes, navigate the bidding process, and structure competitive offers. Included in his talk, James will discuss a strategy to determine the "minimum net" to help investors win bids without overpaying and potential assignability of HUD contracts for Wholesaling.

Each event begins with a dedicated hour of professional networking, a specialty of REIA members who excel at building the collaborative partnerships needed to navigate the Pacific Northwest market. Following networking, the program provides a deep dive into mastering HUD property acquisitions and other diverse sourcing avenues.

"Real estate investing has changed in WA thanks to new laws and market conditions. This is when investors shine by reinventing to stay compliant and benefit from our changing market while continuing to provide quality housing. Deal sourcing within a variety of listed and off-market arenas is key." Shirley Henderson, REIA President and Co-Founder.

By focusing on diverse sourcing methods, the series empowers investors to revitalize local neighborhoods and meet community housing needs with professionalism and expertise. Once real estate investors understand where and how to look, finding opportunities becomes easier and much more consistent. By providing the topic "HUD Homes for Investors", our members have another actionable strategy for identifying and competing for deals, with the goal of getting them signed, closed, and turned into completed transactions.
