It totally needed a new roof due to the flashing being installed poorly.

You avoid a double close - many lenders now require you to have own good funds to close - meaning you need "flash cash" to close which cost you money, and I don't suggest a trust, as many lenders will balk at a contract with a trust as a buyer - you will lose money by never getting deals in the first place.use the LLC - costs a couple bucks up front, but you get more deals signed and it avoids the costs of flash cash, AND if you want a business process that works every time - that is the way to do it.Michael Jake

Don,  occasionally I will go to one of the guru set up meetings here in PDX which are usually a local hotel room 5 minutes from my house.

Quote from @Jayant Reddy: Hi all,I would agree, roof issue, or flashing issue that is creating the mold.

Even if you occasionally get some college kids who wouldn't mind, that won't result in a steady stream of renters.

If you figure out how much you would need to have passively to just get by bare minimum, and still get the occasional coffee or take out then you can figure out what you would need to buy for property to achieve this.
