My name is Duncan MacDonald and I moved to Bend about five months ago.

North Bend, Marysville, Burien are all still viable investment areas, but your decision comes from the plan that you develop with your wife.

Hi, I could use some help finding a contractor to work with near Bend, Oregon.  

I used to bend the rules and be "Creative" to try and get tenants into the properties...

There's enough of a hook with the flipping shows and having these stars attached that it probably seems all the more legitimate and lends this training company just enough legitimacy to separate people from their money.At the end of the day, though, I think people would do far better buying a handful of books, listening to the various podcasts out there (BP is great) and finding some REI's to meet one or two investors that will let them bend their ear.The key thing those training things do provide is motivation.

So I had these terrible tenants were apparently selling drugs out of my property in Bend, Oregon (SFH 3bed/1ba).

This is what you get for bending your own rules.

We live in Bend, OR, a very touristy city where Airbnb/VRBO's are booming.

You can you a small section of gutter or bend some aluminum.
