REAL ESTATE INVESTORS ASSOCIATION EVENT
EVERETT REIA CHAPTER MEETING
Thursday, May 07, 2026
6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
At Staybridge Suites, Mukilteo
Finding Deals:
HUD Homes for Investors
Join REIA in welcoming HUD expert James Nelson to learn the strategy and process to win the bid on HUD properties. James is a fellow REIA Member, Real Estate Broker with Axen Realty, Loan Officer with Nexa Lending, and a Veteran of the United States Coast Guard.
HUD Properties are properties that have been foreclosed and, because the foreclosed loan was federally insured by HUD, are offered by HUD as REOs, or Real Estate Owned, often at attractive discounts.
Learn the ins and outs of HUD deals:
- Why HUD properties can be so well-suited for investor deals
- The bidding process and timelines
- A strategy to determine the "minimum net" to help you win bids without overpaying
- Deal structuring
Bring your HUD questions!
James Nelson is a dual-licensed Loan Officer with NEXA Lending and Real Estate Agent with AXEN Realty, uniquely positioned to help investors maximize opportunities by streamlining the entire lifecycle of a deal. By merging financing expertise with real-time market insight, he offers a strategic advantage that goes far beyond the traditional agent-lender relationship.
As a Veteran of the United States Coast Guard, James brings a disciplined, mission-driven approach to every transaction. Investors benefit from his ability to remain calm under pressure, anticipate roadblocks, and execute with the precision required when timing and margins are everything.
For serious investors, speed and accuracy are the primary currencies. James helps clients secure the right debt, including Conventional, DSCR, Fix-and-Flip, or Portfolio loans, while simultaneously identifying assets that align with their specific goals. This integrated approach eliminates communication gaps and keeps deals moving efficiently from contract to close.
James' focus is on helping you scale. He works with you to structure deals for long-term growth, analyzing cash flow and ROI to ensure your financing supports your broader portfolio vision. Because he evaluates opportunities from both a lending and acquisition perspective, he helps you spot high-yield deals, and avoid costly mistakes before they happen.
His goal is simple: help you close faster, invest smarter, and build wealth with confidence.
