I am posting this question for someone else, but would also love to hear some feedback on those experienced with running Airbnb properties. What are some of your tips and suggestions for running a successful Airbnb and what would you suggest NOT doing etc! 

Does anyone have any referrals or recommendations for really great property managers in the Southern Oregon (Ashland, Medford, Jacksonville) area? Closes to Ashland preferrably. 

TIA

@Aaron Martin

Are you guys doing any meetups in the southern Oregon area? Would love join one if so.

@Account Closed Thanks for the response! We are extremely aware that co-signing is never a go-to recommendation for this exact reason. It is incredibly risky for the one co-signing.  We are trying to exhaust all other possible options but this is just something on the table being discussed.  

These are the horror stories I want to hear though so I appreciate it because we want to know all the possible situations that could go wrong.  My sister and I do not want to affect the co-signor in any way.  

I know in the case of buying a home, after 2 years we could refinance and the co-signor would come off completely.  But there is the factor of their credit being on the line if we were to not pay.  

Hi there,

So I wanted to hear people's thoughts on buying a home with a co-signor? My sister and I are looking to buy our first property together. Looking for a 3 bed or something with a garage or basement to rent space out to (a house hacking type situation).  The only issue we are presented with is that I am a relatively new real estate agent which is a commission-based career. I do also work an admin role though for the agency group and do make a fixed monthly income. But, I am still an independent contractor and because I am self-employed, the lenders need 2 years of proof of income. Which has lead to the option of bringing in a co-signor.  We have been discussing it pretty thoroughly with our lender but I just wanted to see what other people's thoughts on it are. Pros and cons for all parties? Personal experiences? 

TIA!

I wanted to come on here and introduce myself to anyone living in Oregon or Planning to move to Oregon.  I am a newly licensed Real Estate Agent In Grants Pass, Oregon, and am looking forward to growing my connection base here. I work for a fantastic brokerage team through eXp Realty called The PIVOT Group. I have such a deep love for the Rogue Valley and love calling it home.  I am eager to make other peoples PIVOT's come true!!

I am looking forward to meeting you!

Awesome! Thanks for the advice!

@Cory Carlson

This is great to hear!! I prefer online education whenever possible. I will check these recommendations out.

Also, have you ever heard of people getting jobs in real estate agency offices prior to having their license? Such as just office work etc?

Anyone who has gotten their real estate license in Oregon, what school(s) do you recommend? Any that can be done online?

TIA

Hey there. Looking for some investor recommendations for lenders in the Southern Oregon region for a first time home buyer.
