Is it covered by some bonding or insurance the inspection company holds?

Because after purchasing the new rental for $700K that leaves them $300K initially, so take $260K to pay off their mortgage, and still enough left to cover a good chunk of the taxes owed. 

I also cover the yard maintenance so it always looks nice.

Of course, with all things, the answers to all these matters will depend on the circumstances.California tends to have more laws on the books and requirements and restrictions that it can be a good idea to form a CA LLC for out of state property so that you as a CA resident are covered, and to try to have your contracts fall under the purview of CA courts.

Invest in Fix-and-Flip Properties:Use the $50K as a down payment or cover acquisition costs for a non-recourse loan (required for SDIRAs).

Just focus on running the numbers carefully to ensure the property cash flows or at least covers expenses, and don’t hesitate to lean on resources here for advice.If you’re financing, look into FHA loans, as they’re great for first-time buyers purchasing up to 4-unit properties with low down payments.

We're new to real estate and would appreciate advice on our current home in Texas and our future place in Oregon.We love our house in Austin and aren't ready to sell, but as a long-term rental, it would yield (from what I understand) negative cash flow, covering principal and interest but not taxes and insurance.

HOA covers twice daily valet trash too. 

The property could be boarded up with no pictures.

Now let's say I find a triplex that covers the 1% rule but combined cash flow from all 3 doors is roughly $150-$200 or would you want to keep it at $150-$200 cash flow per door with the 1% rule applying?
