Rich Ng That's good to know, I know people who have had issues in Salem with big differences between market and section 8.

Quote from @Chantel Holsather: I am always an advocate if you can fix up a property to make it more marketable, that is really the way to go.

I did not see marketing costs, nights that you need to spend at networking meetings paying for dinners or memberships.

Older homes that aren’t elevated could suffer major damage when the next storm hits.Many expect market saturation in the coming months, as flippers are snapping up flood-damaged properties.

Then they will start the process over.As for finding a market. 

Your “don’t evict strategy” could only make sense in a market that literally hates landlords.

-Finding off-market deals and securing financing with limited capital.

I found this deal off market; it was my girlfriend at the time's uncle who owned it, and we pitched him the idea of buying it from him.

We didn’t find a joint investment, but I found an off-market deal and invested with my dad separately.
