Oregon and Arizona are absolutely going to run up from this, but I'm never comfortable investing outside of a STR in Oregon which are we working on now.

Having control of all aspects of esthetics down to where, when and how the homes are set will give your tiny village a more solid, planned appearance and comfortable layout.Oregon offers many opportunities that are not widely advertised.

I want my tenants to feel comfortable in the home they rent and if this makes them feel more at home, then so be it.

I can comfortably afford $450K without the income from an STR or LTR so that is my current budget.

At the least I would find a good sparky to replace that FPE panel who is comfortable working with Al, have them replace any older receptacles as well while they’re there and just check through all the connections and do an in-depth inspection for you, or get a quote to replace all the wire with copper and make a judgement call based on that.

Look for an investor friendly realtor who understands what kind of return you are looking for, a real estate attorney to set up your LLC and make sure you have a well written lease as well as an accountant that you are comfortable with. 

What I never understood with some seller finance sellers is that their buyer could not qualify for a traditional loan, yet the owner of the house feels comfortable enough to lend to these same buyers?

Unfortunately, the registration system wasn’t quite finished, and we didn’t feel comfortable launching it before having a chance to test it internally.

Used to be you would tour a couple of properties and get to know the folks and they would get comfortable with you before you asked for exclusivity. 

You'll need to determine the monthly cash flow you aim to achieve from rental properties, along with your desired timeline for getting started and the initial investment you're comfortable making.While flipping properties can yield quick returns, it's worth noting that the current market conditions may pose challenges in this area.
