Everyone here will pitch their favorite investment and honestly those answers are worth the electrons they are printed on without looking at the bigger picture.

Question 1If my parents give me money from the HELOC do they just give me a check or electronic transfer of the money?

@Chris Magma I think that is similar to what I do now, I put in a OPRA request electronically and they send me either an Excel file or a PDF of all the currently tax delinquent properties.

We are using the "rent-by-room" strategy, and we put electronic locks on all bedroom doors and the front door.

We scan and file electronically in the property folder in drobox. 

Does anyone have recommendations on electronic lockboxes for self-showings? 

In our area, the last couple openings we've had saw 150ish electronic interest/info requests in the first 2 days.

Not a lot of steady income at the moment, but I'd like something that won't turn my clients away from paying online and using their credit cards.I've noticed many programs charge interchange fee + % + additional $0.30+ per transaction.Ive noticed a few programs charge 2.9%+ of the overall cost.Many clients will be spending a decent amount on the construction projects and these additional fees may price me out the door.Trying to stream line the process by emailing a proposal, client electronically sign it and insert their deposit in order for me to schedule the job.

I think there's a $10 fee from the state every time you re-sign, and it can mess up your board dues, electronic keys, etc if you do it very often.

I spent 4 hours online last night- on osbar.org and all the Oregon court sites, etc. just trying to find the proper small claims forms, low-income fee waivers- and if I can file electronically or not.
