We barely get buy without incurring any long term debt and sending our daughter to the University of Arkansas. 

There are a number of good universities that aren't going anywhere and attract a large number of potential renters to the city every year: Washington University in St.

Our current focus is on finding a multi family property in the Fishtown/Kensington/Port Richmond, University City, Germantown/Mount Airy, and Clifton Heights/Drexel Hill/Upper Darby using the analysis methods taught by Bigger Pockets, and using it as a gateway into more properties in the future.

I know there is no universal way of structuring flips, but how do you normally pay out your investors for a flip?

Really need to get about 500k down or more to get decent stuff in good areas.Now you could possibly invest in DST if accredited investor with 1031 money.Example there is weak rural, weak suburban, strong suburban, urban core areas.170k down gets nothing of value in the desirable areas that is passive NNN.

Much of the area is technically unincorporated and services can be difficult as they are not supported universally.

Prices are low and the University seems to be growing (and supported by the state) which makes it seem a little safer.

My suggestion is the Gateway / Parkrose neighborhoods, Gladstone, Oregon City, Troutdale, University District (north Portland) neighborhood, North Portland, north of Fessenden by St.

Tried finding information on the City's website to back up her claims - considering we live right off of that road next to St Francis University this could either hurt us or help increase our property values.

If you are new to this and want some intro material, I'd suggest looking at Jefferson's Lilly's podcast or some articles from Mobile Home Park University.
