I’m a young real estate investor in Portland, Oregon & I’m looking to build a network of investors in this market for the purpose of sharing ideas & experiences as well as support each others goals.I currently own two units & I absolutely devour everything BP has to offer but I lack the network of lIke minded, experienced Individuals that is needed to thrive in thIs business.

The best I've found under that scenario is 10 yr fixed Term and 25 yr Am, with rates varying 5.5-6.5%afaik the 30 yr fixed is only for residential loans to an individual and it's so the loans can be packaged for securitization. 

I have my Early Childhood Degree and I teach a Pre-K class.

@John Warren So right off the top of any property you allocate 15% instead of individually basing the costs?

From what I've read, after a condo conversion the parties on the deed will now each own X% of each unit rather than each own a unit themselves.How can the units be individually owned, and what happens to the mortgage?

However, every deal is unique.Overall, Biggerpockets does a great job at teaching how to analyze deals, everywhere you go, the calcs will not vary much, however, your returns may   :)   .....

You'll have to look at individual properties to determine what will be worth your time, but market activity is much better than market stagnation.

Based on my experience in the area, not many individuals will purchase a home south of the tracks for 1.1M601 S Wheaton Ave, Wheaton, IL 60187 is around the corner with nice finishes for 500k. 

I resigned from my teaching job after 20 years because I am burnt out.

Having said that, I don't see the difference either - between an LLC owner and an individual owner.
