Look at their marketing strategy.

If you are fixing and flipping then you wouldn't need a PM, but every deal an investor is looking to purchasing that is a value add strategy, you need a good GC and broker/agent.

Risk & Due Diligence – Ensure the deal has strong equity, a solid exit strategy, and an experienced investor before funding.

You might try corporate housing by owner, or try getting in contact with some insurance companies for replacement housing, or traveling work-crews, etc. 

Well one thing that is interesting in regards to Earnest Money is that you take a place like Ohio, I'd imagine it's the same in Oregon but in Ohio the Division of Real Estate regulates the activities of real estate brokerages and their trust accounts but the Division of Insurance is who regulates title companies.

Several investors that have bought from me have used that exact strategy.

Upon my research of the FHA loan and the house hacking strategy, I know one of the perquisites for getting approved and not committing fraud is to live in the residence for at least a year.

It’s a tough decision, but we’re adjusting our strategy to align with market conditions and our timeline.Having come from a corporate background, I’m used to doing these kinds of planning exercises.

If you acquire one new property each year, you could significantly increase your wealth and potentially position yourself to qualify for larger investments, like apartment buildings or construction loans, within 10 years.I’ve worked with clients who have successfully implemented this strategy, and it has proven to be an effective path to building long-term financial freedom through real estate.Good luck with your decision!
