I bought a house last week and am selling a house next week, but I don't know how many doors I have today, unless I effort a count. 

Lastly, network with local investors and continue learning to refine your strategies.Good luck!

I believe REI is continuing to invest more to expand and have more homes available.

The participation must be regular, continuous, and substantial as defined by the IRS.

Continuing on the north coast, another idyllic vacation rental location is Pacific City Oregon.

Despite their track record, both these guys continue to peddle their snake oil.

My advice would be to find a mentor (the right investor-focused agent can be great at this), continue analyzing deals, run them by your mentor, and then make offers when a deal meets your buy criteria.

You should also have access inside the house in most cases.

This lets both the investor and the builder do what they do best.I think this will continue to be a growing part of the investing landscape. 

However, it's fair to question the integrity of the management since it's in-house.
