Just want to mention that sometimes it works out better to raze an existing property down to like 2 studs and rebuild around it so that it still is classified as a remodel versus a complete new build. 

We've been head down for 5 years getting started with this portfolio, just starting to become an evangelist for sober living now that there's some proof in our business that it's impactful and profitable.

Looking to limit the amount of cash I need to put in (ideally under $10k) by leveraging different financing options @Eric Huntermark I think less than $10k down on a purchase price of $150k is going to be hard to find.

If you are eligible, you can buy up to a four-unit property with zero down as long as you live in one of the units.

Like everything in real estate, it comes down to negotiating a good deal upfront.

If you're going for a 6-12 month tenant, your premium to the longer term rate will come down.

If they lie and don't pass your screening, that's their fault.It helps to have your screening criteria written down so you can share it with them.

If it were me as a seller the over asking price ok and down payment but I would make you pay interest only at 8-9% for a year or two with a balloon.

I think that is what Oregon is trying to track down on - Sketchy people dodging disclosure.  

We went down to thw studs on most rooms.
