I don't plan on being a RE Agent per se, but would dabble in it.

I can se that there was about $15.00 in materials and could be assempled in less than 2 minutes.

Since I live in Gresham, I am looking for SF homes in the 90K to 120K range that need between 10K and 30K of rehab on the east side of town, SE or NE Portland, Gresham, Troutdale.

The other side of the coin is that you pay a $50,000 fee to person B and it will be non-SE other income and taxed at the ordinary rate.

Hi, anyone new to RE investing from SE Pa????????????????

And I need to pay the SE tax on that.  

(You also get a 20% deduction under the new law which partially mitigates the hit from SE tax.)

If you are under 7 days and provide no more services than a long term rental (not the case for you, with towels, sheets, coffee, netflix, etc), then you could potentially escape SE tax, but where you are living in the home at the same time it might be a long road to prove you aren't providing some level of service.

SE Fla here.

Let me ask you, what is your point of view on why we are seeing this type of crisis and will this increase the opportunity in the capital market per se, especially this sub-sector the REO portfolios business?
