If I can make the lot rent and the monthly cost of the home close to what people pay for a similarly sized rental then its an attractive deal for many.

The land is a decent size.  

I am surprised in a city the size of Portland you would have trouble finding a reasonable property manager.

We have the Housing & Community Development Advisory Commission, but the deadline to apply to serve on that commission was March 1st.

I would now assume the lateral serves both properties, and as such is constructed as was approved.

Well the first thing is to describe WHAT you are looking for.All these people here are recommending contacts but you haven't mentioned what you want to buy - asset class, what size deal, what areas ( Texas is a big state............ : ), etc.You need to have a clear understanding of what you want and are trying to do and communicate that effectively on the phone.

Not knowing details and size, ARV's, etc.

. $2,839 total cost to remodel bathroom.Very nice. most bathrooms that size run at least $3,000 and up to $6,000 to remodel.

To flip the house, a full dormer on the upstairs to put a bath on the second floor and increase the size of the two small bedrooms would probably be wise while doing the roof.  

@Wayne Brooks  Out our way Attorneys are last resort.. this person would be best served to simply go to the title and escrow company and sit down with the escrow officer and title officer and walk through the transaction it will be free and they will know as much if not more than any attorney who would have to charge billable hours to get up to speedIn these little SFR transactions very few folks use attorneys for title issues ... they use them for contracts and other issues. but title companies here are the ones you deal with when it comes to these pedestrian liens and encumbrances.
