Hone your Excel skills by creating pro-formas to practice your 1% rule underwriting while never touring a single property 4.

Will depend on several factors like the type of property, type of tenants, your risk tolerance, other assets you own, your estate planning, laws where the property is located, etc.

Hi,When considering investing out of state, is it best practice to find a local lender in the market I want to invest in?

The security deposit was about 1.5x monthly rent..... the PM attempted to collect the final rent payment but was unsuccessful.....Now according to the property management company they need to technically apply the security deposit to the rent (according to them is part of some sort of fair housing law or something etc.) vs applying it to the damage caused by the tenant. 

Stay Informed: Keep yourself updated on the latest developments in the fintech industry, including regulatory changes and security best practices.

I won't be ready to buy an investment property for another year or so, so in the meantime, I'm practicing my researching skills as much as possible.Thanks,Chris

@Paul @Paul Hurtubise especially family, it's not a law and you can do it yourself, but yes record a second deed of trust if you want money from them.Good Investing...

I have no idea about Oregon law, but based on what you wrote, hire an attorney.It's never a good idea to do it yourself in anti-landlord locations.

But with horrible returns and the threat of statewide anti-landlord laws even that seems bad.
