Personally, even with interest rate uncertainty and election year hysteria, I am building a stronger and stronger conviction around the fact that I need to get a little more aggressive in acquiring more income properties.   

And they can not buy a foreclosure for their personal benefit.As to your comment "I'm spending this week learning about foreclosure investing" the first thing to study is RCW 61.34.030 Criminal penalty.make sure you understand what that means.

If and when available for my personal properties or buyer client's in Oregon, seller financing has been the way to go.

I really would like to keep as much personal cash as I can at the moment because I am expecting some very big life changes this summer which will take a good chunk of my income.

As that will at least help folks that you reach out to know that you are a real person, with a picture and professional bio.

Personally it all seems to equal out in the end.Our cleaner charges a flat rate no matter how long the stay or number of guests.

With respect to the other market cycles this is what I would personally do to exploit the upcoming market cycle:Recession: Network and Educate!

Second, what is the purpose of setting it up like this?
