OLD FASHION CALLING I THINK PHONE SKILL ARE VITAL...MOST OF MY DEAL CLOSED OVER PHONE STUDY THE PHONE

Houses on this road are worth no more than $40K, and this problem house would require more than double that to make it habitable.

In joint tenancy, each co-owner's possession, interest, time and, title of the property is vital.

@Paris AkinsI don't know how terrible that bathroom is at this point, but you may have to deal with "warranty of habitability."

(ie, was habitable, ready to go, advertised for rent and you were trying to get a tenant).  

But this is why we have state and city govmit.. if they want to subsidize housing they have mechinisims to do that.I have worked with many of these Habit  and others.. issue comes in PDX is building costs are so high now there Is no way you can build low income housing unless govmit writes super cheap interest rate bonds  forgives System development charges etc etc.. and this area does that.

I admit I need to become more disciplined with spending habits before saving for investing and paying my debt off in full would better prepare me to do so.

So I have been analyzing deals and studying for the last two years.  I am finally pulling the trigger.  Yes, it has taken way too long....but cant do anything about that now....so here we go!I have found 3 properties ...

The network of contractors that I have would be a vital asset to achieve this goal.

Always use a price that has been set by the market, this can be determined by using a local agent to conduct a valuation on your home or by looking at similar properties in the area on portals like Rightmove.Condition & presentation.The condition of your property and the way you present it is vital.
