I can basically only look at multi-units since the swedish laws makes it very easy to get a loan for one-unit/family houses and these are really hard to rent out - the result is that people who can afford to rent one-unit houses always buy 'em.I know, and understand the basics of cash flow valuation models and that net income is most important.

Thank you for the help.YOu need to read up on the laws in Oregon.. since this post was made new laws came into effect. you must be a LICENSED foreclosure consultant to help those in foreclosure.. the ONLY thing you can do is buy them and you cant wholesale in Oregon the way guys and gals do in others states .

I know the laws are different from state to state and that part is intimidating.

If you are looking at this as a long term business I would recommend taking a law of contracts class at your local community college.

Not to mention, that it's probably a criminal action depending on state law, too.No, there are other- legal ways to fix and boost your credit scores.

I, unfornuately, have to pass on spending the weekend with the in-laws.

Hello everyone my name is Will and I would like to say that I really like this forum and thank you for helping people who are just starting out or are thinking about starting like me.Well, not long ago I was in a dilemma between taking Animation or Real Estate, well that is no more for I have decided to go for REI, I am a full-time legal clerk I work for my parents managing their immigration business here in LA despite the love* I get from older employees/co-workers I manage and everything is under control.Now what I was wondering is how can you get started in REI since I work full-time and I can’t leave my job cause if I do there will be no one to watch out for the business, thing is I want to see how much you would need to start investing after learning the process that is, if say I had $5,000 or even $10,000 in hard cash which I know is not much, but is there any way and I mean any way one could start investing with that kind of money off the bat?

There is some interpretation of case law about it (which is where the 1 year idea comes from), but not any definite guidelines from the IRS.

I heard there are new Rent Control laws in effect.
