It doesnt hurt when you have the evidence of what you do with photos and closing statements. 3/2 1150sq ftClosed Sept 3/23/2016Rehab completed 5/23/16In Escrow 6/23/16Purchase 294kOriginal rehab budget 65KFinal Rehab cost 95k - the decision to increase the budget was critical to maximize the sale price of the home.

When reviewing the town's website I could not find any evidence to this.

Do you have concrete evidence of N.J. not being a “landlord- friendly” state?

I have seen no evidence multnomah is actively enforcing any of this.  

The good ones can see the market as you do and guide you on properties they think are deals based on evidence and past experiences - but even they will still need training on what you particularly want.

Most of them wanted to resell on the secondary market or evidently didn't wanna hold a relatively small valued sfr in their portfolio...

Insurance companies always ask for a lease to show evidence of actual income that you were expecting.

But no one shows actual evidence like I did.

I have photographic evidence taken during construction showing where they dug up the floors and placed every pier.  

Yet, over the last couple of years after jumping into this full time after doing it on and off from 2003 to 2012, I've seen more and more evidence that just the term "FLIP" is absolutely POISONOUS to a surprisingly large number of serious buyers and what really scares and bothers me is hearing from several local agents who do a lot of volume (I really just buy and sell my own stuff now) that they've had a fair number of buyers who may see a home online that they like or even love based on the pictures and description, but won't even bother to do a showing if it turns out to be a F@#P!
