Our contract is ending and we will be using your advice @Jon Holdman and will be interviewing multiple agents before signing yet another listing contract.

Hi Filipe,My suggestion would be to shop that mortgage at a good mortgage broker with commercial experience and multiple companies to work with.

We do update if it is extremely old/poor looking but as long as it is average we will just deep clean it and leave it.Vacancy is almost never an issue since the area is highly desired, close to highway, shopping so we typically rent at market rent or sometimes 50$ below if they are willing to sign a multiple year lease.

It is great for family partnerships that own multiple properties/businesses.One cell would be a disregarded entity and another can be taxed as an S-corp.

I've read in multiple guru books how beneficial it may be to become a realtor while in the pursue of becoming a full time REI.

I tried to buy a few REOs with cash and no contingencies and was iced out due to multiple offers.The question is, rather than holding on speculation for better times.

I've been told there are multiple offers, give me your highest and best numerous times.

Multiple income streams Baby!!!

That also give you family protection if you don't follow through.If multiple people are contributing money, the easiest thing is to form an LLC, have them put their money into the LLC, and then have the LLC make the loan.Paying 85% of retail value isn't a good deal.

Plus, in Oregon, any home in short sale can accept multiple offers.
