I just took my broker classes through them and they boast a high pass rate than the state average.

Until we can get a down payment together I'm working toward getting my real estate license so I can get involved in the industry in my off time from the day job. 

Simplest way to look at it is that industry averages are just that, averages. 

I'm a 24 year old working in the real estate industry in Washington, DC.

I have some money saved up, but not nearly enough to purchase a house for $700K which is the average cost of a home in the area.

This year my fix and flip income was better than average and will bump my income into the next tax bracket.

I did quite a bit of research when I heard about the HELOC to pay off you mortgage and then using that account as your main account to funnel all your income and expenses in/out of etc etc.....the principle is that you will have on average a lower balance that your are paying interest on each month etc.....and read a lot about comparing that method vs just applying extra principle to your mortgage.

Oregon is 10 in the country for fewest defaults and highest credit of borrowers for homes.. wholesaling would be extremely hard without major budget and you defiantly need to be licensed to sell property you don't own.. state will get all over you if U try the tie it up put it on craigs list or have a website or blast e mails.. one complaint and your toast in that regard.. you need to have your financing lined up so you guy then resell.. flipping is alive and well.. but again much much bigger dollars involved than in GA ( at least most parts of GA... its like working the expensive parts of ATL price wise.although you can still flip in the high 200 to mid 300 range but there is virtually nothing at or under 100k to buy .. lots sell for 100k and over.. rural Oregon will have cheaper properties but much harder to sell with lack of buyers.. but one thing is for sure  if you do a nice job on a flip and price it right it will sell in 2 to 4 weeks at full price and you don't have to worry about folks getting loans and such.. this is not a credit challenged area like much of the deep southas for paid trainers there are good ones and there are tons just selling rehash of those that came before them remember there is not very much that's secret or knew in this industry other than tighter regulations and most guru's are not worried to much about tighter regulation as it cuts down on their conversion rates to the mentor programs as noted above.
