Now that I've graduated with a good job lined up I'm finally ready to take the first steps in beginning a new journey in buy and hold real estate.I'm currently living in the Tualatin/Tigard area and working as a mechanical engineer for a large semiconductor firm.

I am educating myself on the mechanics of it and I know I will make mistakes, but I feel vacant land investing is an untapped market; and, I do not want to deal with the stress and headaches of landlording or property management.

The request for the GC was to build the structure (roughly 500 sq ft), or "dry in" the space - then I would take it from there and hire my own subs for the mechanical. 

What I like about buying distressed units is the foreclosed unit owners abuse rarely effects anything structurally, in some cases it has no effect on the mechanicals either.

When you say "incomplete foreclosure" are you saying that a lien holder (mechanic's, mortgage, etc) can come back and claim ownership in the property?

Then it might be possible to install a remote-control drain with a button at the front of the tub; I've seen one model and there are others, but it might be hard to get enough access through the side wall to install the control mechanism below the tub.

Most firms also have some sort of pricing mechanism that is determined by the asset value of the account.A Checkbook IRA LLC may be more appropriate if you are seeking to invest in assets that require more interaction.

Both of them put a lot of emphasis on value add.

I'm currently a student at the University of Texas at Dallas majoring in Mechanical Engineering and am graduating this upcoming December.

We offered 603K and I told my wife we have a really good chance of getting it because most other offers are going to put too much emphasis on the list price and anchor around it.
