I know that nothing is free, and that some programs require you to pay the DPA loan back before you move out but what else is there to have in mind that I should know about.

By way of example, cash flow is largely relied upon which leads most to invest in zero barrer of entry neighborhoods but the appoach is narrow minded and fails to account for the qualities that are more indicative of a properties performance over time and where the true gains are realized.

There are also a lot of outdoor activities, shows, and other city amenities.

Mind you, I have sent out letters each month along with emails and calls making her aware of each payment missed. 

Given my current situation, what are some important factors I should keep in mind?

I would love to connect with like minded individuals who've invested in rental properties and started off with a buy and hold strategy.  

@Joseph O'SullivanYou what comes to mind...  

At present we show roughly 100 STR eligible coastal and multi family properties throughout the state of Oregon, at least half of which are active STR's and offered turn key furnished. 

Hello Stuart,I know this thread is a little old,but would you mind sharing the budget you speak of on the full gut job?

That way you know they are active in the BP community!
