@Ryan Bono Sounds like you've built a sweet team and process!

Custom building a home is a slow and painful process.  

Ananth--if you used an attorney to process the eviction, most attorneys will also pursue the collection of judgements on your behalf, too. 

A trustworthy agent should make the process clear and help you see the properties you're interested in without unnecessary obstacles.

But even with our experience, it's tough to get brokers to take you seriously. 

I would caution you with searching for lenders as those that don't follow a draw process or will lend on anything may not actually be a lender and trying to scam you.

Are there any unique considerations or red flags you look for compared to the traditional rental process?

Overall I think nationwide it’s getting very tough to get into the STR space and make money and the fact that a municipality can tank your business at any time calls for a strong back up plan from the start!

Consider different strategies like mid and short term rentals as I believe the Portland area would allow for success in both (although I have heard Portland proper is tough on STRs).Best of luck!

For example Delaware has additional default rights and processes that an investor can follow if they feel they are not getting old books and records.
