I have a list of over 100 buyers, and work with an equity fund. Contact me with your deals and let's do business!

I'm considering the same thing. If you have your own money to lend, much easier, but if you are getting investors, lots of SEC hoops to navigate.

Here is a workshop this month that I am thinking of attending:http://www.groupsponsor.com/?page_id=174

One of the lawyers is on this site: Jillian_Sidoti.

Keep us informed on what you learn!

A big welcome from a fellow Portlandia-er.

Hi Robert,

Welcome to BP! I do come across some Gresham properties, but none of my investors like to go out that far. Would be great to have someone that likes that area. Send me your contact info and I will keep you in mind.

College education has absolutely no bearing on being a successful Real Estate agent or investor. Education is essential, but not from college classes. Don't waste the money.

I know some very successful agents and investors that have never stepped foot on a college campus, and some very highly educated failures. If you have a thirst for knowledge, have a strong desire, good work ethic, and know that you will and should always be learning, you will make it.

Oh, btw, I hold a masters degree.

We purchased a home from Auction.com at the beginning of the year. It went through a regular escrow, and there was a problem with title, and the bank worked to clear it up. It delayed the closing a bit, but it went smoothly. It was a great deal and my investor did VERY well on it.

Just my experience, your mileage my vary.

Speak to Steve Romig. He is licensed in OR and WA, and works primarily with investors. I spoke to him today and he said the WA has the better deals for rentals right now. He is very active in the auction market, and might be able to get your investor a smoking deal!

Welcome Ben! Sounds like you are off to a great start!

I would definitely seek an attorney to help, Portland leans very heavily towards renters rights, so make sure you do everything right.

If you need any Real Estate advice, feel free to call!

Anybody want to share a room? With the group discount and $15/day resort fee, a room is about $550. So $275 each person.

NO SNORERS!

Sounds fantastic! I think I might go as well. Hope to see some BPers there!
