Here’s what I’ve learned so far: Investors want deals with solid profit potential—so they’re always looking at the numbers: a good ARV, reasonable rehab costs, and enough room to make a return.

First, estimate what the renovation would cost, how long it would take, and how much extra you could potentially sell the property for once it’s fixed up.

I know it seems difficult to turn down the potential income from this lease, but be patient, renting season is just around the corner.

I understand the one time event thing but I foresee potential issues with each applicant because of what's happened to them in the past year. 

Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: Oregon finally passed legislation to reel in unlicensed wholesaling its in this months publication from the state RE agency.Highlights:Goes into effect  July 1 2025Requires:On line application to become a licensed wholesaler  ( RE agents exempt from this of course they already have licenses)Name of company and individuals who will be performing these services.Each one needs a full criminal background check and approval prior to receiving the license.300.00 annual fee for the license.Written Disclosures in Bold 10 point.These must be given to Buyer and Sellers prior to entering into a wholesale contract and signed for.Also RE brokers assisting wholesalers need to give these to potential buyers and sellers.

.• Use some equity from the sale to make this transition smoother.I’m torn between maintaining our current home as an asset and buying  a new smaller house to use as a rental after we move back in versus simplifying and focusing on a single upgraded property Considering factors like market trends, potential equity growth, and quality of life, which path do you think would be most beneficial?

I've been running the numbers on different properties using a variety of online calculators for properties that I initially thought looked like there may be potential.

Good balance of affordability and rental potential.

No I wouldn’t pay it and I would plan that potentially if I don’t pay it, they leave.

I welcome any guidance, mentoring, and potential partnership opportunities as we progress in our journey.Thank you for the opportunity to connect.
