I found the ways to secure my interest and prevent underhanded moves by sellers in liquidation business, but RE is a whole different animal that I don't have as much experience in.Now, here is the dilemma: in order to be most efficient and get a good rep as a wholesaler in the eyes of the sellers, you should be able to CLOSE every purchase contract you sign.

Most investors with proceeds from 'significant' sales from regional States are sufficiently capitalized to secure financing or seller terms on any almost any property type in Oregon. - Creative and local financing : As a licensed and active Real Estate Broker in Oregon and California I can tell you there is a comparitively abnormal amount of seller carry or owner financing available on properties for sale and prospective 1031X prospects in Oregon.

If purchased with financing and the security interest represented by the UCC was timely perfected, I would have a completely different opinion.

As you sort of infer - we look at mitigating risk by how much security deposit we require.  

. $150-200k to rehab the home.What is the best way to secure the loan?

.- Seller Disclosures: Specify that the buyer's acceptance is subject to reviewing and approving all seller disclosures and documents related to the property's condition and history.Timeline and Deadlines: Clearly outline deadlines for completing inspections, securing financing, and satisfying other contingencies.

This would be set by you, you could go the Padsplit route which is company that rents by the week and helps secure tenants, or you can find them yourself through FB marketplace or Zillow and get a lease made and take a deposit.

@Brynn Walden congrats on your portfolio.As others have pointed out, doing a 1031 exchange into passive investments since syndications are securities, not real property.

The vast majority of lawsuits against Landlords are for wrongful eviction, security deposit disputes, and Fair Housing Violations.

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.
