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!

Who wants to join us?

Ask them if they do any wholesaling. Ask them if they know how to do assignments. Ask them if they have done any subject 2s.

99% of Realtors will look at you like you were speaking Swahili, and when you tell them what you mean, they will tell you that it is probably illegal. Realtors that know investing will have answers.

Wow. I have no words... just wow.

Each state is different, so you need to talk to someone that has knowledge in the state you are buying in. Subordinate liens usually are gone, but property taxes, an IRS liens will stay. In some states, HOA liens stay, and so do municipality liens. And contractors liens stay, only if they are superior to the mortgage that is foreclosing.

In Oregon, we have a program where senior citizens can defer paying property taxes, but need to be paid back at a sale. That can be a big surprise if you don't see it coming.

Buying at auction is serious business, only do it if you know what you are doing.

Just go and ask the clerk. In my experience, they have always been very friendly and helpful.

Would love to see a print button so I can print out long threads
(with many pages) so I can read later.

I am a broker that works with investors. Dozens of properties cross my desk each week, but I only send my investors properties with potential. I can look at the address, the neighborhood, some comps, and do a quick and dirty ARV in about 5 minutes. If it's something that my investor likes, we will go and look at it together, and then again with our contractor, then we do the real due diligence if we still like it.

Every Broker works differently, but this has worked well for me and my investors.

I agree with Ned Carey and J Scott. If you are selling for fulle ARV, then all of the big things need to be done. As a an agent that works for buyers, this is a must. You are wondering about sewer repairs? That is a deal breaker!
