This is a tough one for new builders.

Does this mean section 8 is bad, NO, but this can happen in any city or state.

If someone represents themselves as private lenders, check them on NMLS consumer access to see if they are licensed.

This preliminary injunction has been stayed.

My first MF I represented the buyer on I made 100k. for maybe a weeks worth of work. 3. if your going to be looking a more resi style duplex 4 plex a lot of those get listed and having access to the MLS is far superior to any other on line listing service ONE simply because you will be able to talk to the actual LIsting agent not someone paying for leads.And then of course having access to MLS lock box's and not relying on agents.. this is huge.Now if your maybe going to buy one property sometime in the future and you have no interest in learning the RE laws of your state or making any money with transactional real estate then sure.. its a pass.. although I would still recommend the pre license course so you learn the basics  the vocabulary and states unique laws.. knowledge is power in RE.

Moving south...here are some quick areas of note: Florence - Centrally located and easily accessible from Eugene.

Chicago, with its vibrant neighborhoods and strong rental market, is a prime location for this strategy.

All this stuff works.

My wife and I live in Chicago and vacation in San Diego every year.  We get a condo rental in Oceanside typically, and stay for 2 weeks. I'm considering purchasing a condo or a small SFH in the Oceanside/Carlsbad area...

Interesting perspective, Dan!
