Entry points are a lot cheaper than back in CA and you actually have landlord rights out here. 

@Tije WilkinsHave you actually spoken to any local lenders about the property? 

Using this method, you'll never wonder if a property is actually rented.

It is likely that at the very least you paid market value, you may have actually paid a premium.

Come to think of it..my last buyer there was actually Gen Z. - Albany/Corvallis/Salem - Continuing north along the I5 corridor and also anchored by Oregon State University are the areas between Eugene and Salem.

I actually started with an arbitraged beachfront mansion in FL in 2016, so it is legit. 

Aside from being totally creepy, (and to be fair, I need to understand this is potentially a mental disorder and I don’t want to shame or discriminate against that) there have been no actual violations. 

Going really well actually!

We make money in 3 ways with “buy and hold” properties…and cash flow is the smallest piece!

@Jesse WolfNo, your W2 hours do not count, unless you own 5% of the company.If you spend significant hours in your own real estate projects, not those of your employer's - then you might have a path to REPS if your actual work hours for your employers are limited.
