And the lifestyle here is amazing.  

A great job opportunity and lifestyle change brought me out to the Pacific Northwest.

The economic growth appears to be following the C word (read: Cannabis) and while other economic factors lead me to believe the economy is diversifying the great influx of youth seem to be drawn to the lifestyle of the surrounding area.

Nina is passionate about real estate as one of the best investments over time and feels very fortunate to be living and working in this city of a culturally diverse population, unique architectural beauty, breathtaking historical buildings and museums, and astounding lifestyles. 

After my last 2 purchases, Clackamas county has sent a letter wanting to verify that the transaction was at arms-length (to properly assess I'm guessing).  

Jeffery Griggs all problems I can attribute to me being a novice, first time investor - I bought the property over priced through an online investor network without conducting proper due diligence, I allowed the seller to get away with not fulfilling their promise to place a Section 8 tenant prior to closing and not fixing the noted deficiencies in the inspection.

Yes, you get more repeat business, but you will be working much harder on each sale.Investors generally aren't going to be happy with a simple MLS auto search; they're going to want off market deals, expect you to put in a lot of low-ball offers, know how to properly calculate cap rates, rehab estimates, etc. and also generally will be looking in a lower price range, meaning less of a comission for you.Retail buyers on the other hand are much more likely to be happy with the selection on MLS, take your advice, and give better offers.

I know there is a field to search "By User" under the "Filter Results" option that pops up with the search results, but I haven't found that to work properly (or at all really). 

You should join REIA to network and learn all you need to know to properly  wholesale.  

Furthermore, we don't feel comfortable accepting liability after one of the partners told us they would not be properly capping off exposed live electrical wires in the wall even though we advised them it is a hazard and you cannot just "plaster over it" as he said he would do.
