I'm building in a brand-new subdivision.

STR investors aren't really looked at that favorably in our mountain communities these days, putting it lightly. 

A single family house with a small HOA can still present a lot of risk, so tread lightly. 

Little did I know even on the brand new wires he was running, he was twisting them together with no junction box!

Need something else besides lightly managing these 9 doors. 

Even though your Realtor might be good and helpful their ultimate goal is to get the house sold and no one will see the vision you have set for yourself, in the same light that you will.

Getting the information takes time and experience but once you have it you'll be light years ahead of others who are just starting out. 

This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.

I have a few brand new homes popping out of the ground in Canby Oregon.. msut of Portland proper is very old the new builds tend to be skinnies or expensive . 

Other than that, it is really a light doc loan with not many strings attached compared to a conventional mortgage.
