When you know you've made a new contact with good synergy, its not the worst thing to have a lengthy convo and limit time for more introductions.What I do to bypass small talk is ask - "how did you hear of this event?"

Most tenants cannot afford to come up with a security deposit without a lengthy notice OR being allowed to make payments toward the deposit.

I won the auction and I'm finding out now that it has a bond against it, what are some sources you guys use from BULK title search for vacant land. 

(just a bond backed my the cashflow of mortgages).

The feedback I usually get is that buyers wanted to assume the loan but the process was lengthy and complicated, and buyers eventually moved on leaving the seller with no equity and option to sell other than writing a fat check at the closing table since they had to continue to lower their price.

Mostly just went with my gut I bought it during a crazy time single family homes are being bought only hours after coming on the market I had the choice between this house and another the other was slightly bigger with a basement in the porch but the roof did not seem bonded in my Spidey senses told me there might be Foundation issues in mold due to a smell while inspecting the house admittedly the house I bought is 950 ft has no basement and is a two bedroom one bath with a detached garage How did you finance this deal?

Good riddance.I know nothing of Pace Morby and don’t really read the lengthy posts here about him.

That's possible, but expect a lengthy timeline and significant expenses.

I have very little leverage on my properties, and I offset the leverage with cash invested bonds to mitigate the little debt I have (i.e. -$200K in mortgages, +$200K in bonds).

While eviction can be a lengthy and complex process in Portland, it might be necessary to protect your investment.
