If he Mentors what he does out in the market place, he will probably have a Stellar career as a Real Estate Investor and a Mentor!!

Sadly, most of these who find themselves in such a predicament (remember, you do not get on to a Roddy report by having a stellar reputation as a decision maker :-) )....most who find themselves here fall into the 2 general camps listed above: Those who are paranoid, thinks EVERYONE knows their business, and believes anyone seeking them out to be a creditor.

I would actually even recommend 3% down on a conventional loan, especially with your stellar credit score.

Stellar service. 

Super happy with location and I found a stellar attorney through my settlement company Clearview Settlement Solutions to do the foreclosure process, PM me if anyone else needs a recommendation. 

Does anyone have recommendations for some stellar contractors, plumbers and electricians in Portland Metro? 

Not at this stellar price.....

If the tenants are stellar otherwise and you really want to keep them happy, you can offer a gift card to a restaurant in an amount of your liking, but don't let the tenants choices control your actions. 

I am presently paying below market rate for a pretty nice condo in a less than stellar community, so the major motivation for my first house hack is to escape the hood.

You want a property that will still perform well on a rainy day, so if you can't make it work for $750.00, it's probably not a stellar buy.
