Wear a nice shirt, slacks and sports jacket and find an active probate courtroom.

No one wants to live there, the sports teams are second-rate, the drop-out rates in the schools are over 100% (some come back and drop out TWICE!)

@Derek Daun LoL, I was stationed in Las Vegas for 5 years and I always compare insurance to gambling casinos....you give them your money and they never have to give you anything in return.  

Sports is my passion and I love doing that but i would like to make more money on top of my teaching salary.

My children both attend private schools in Portland and are active in sports, dance, drama, wake boarding, snowboarding, and community service.As the title says, I was a small time investor.

As a followup to another thread that was posted on getting bank financing on inexpensive SFRs (sporting caps of 24-36% and up).Has anyone, anywhere, been able to get local bank or credit union financing (at least 5 yr term, could be amortizing loan or LOC, but not short term rehab financing) on SFRs where the total investment is below $30K.

Seriously, I want the input.Wells REO (I believe, been a long time)List:159K1st offer:119K + change, cash offerasked biggest & best, said had a offer at asking in (I assumed and gambled was a financed offer, based off the response)Offered 124K, cash, 15 day closing.

I mean range rover sport, corvette, 7 series 5 series, escalade...i mean i made the biggest mistake when i jumped the gun and purchased the 6 series grand coupe when it first came out in 2013.

Incentives don't matter to slobs, and either does security deposits.. they figure who gives a Ya hoo...So we all know we can't fix a apartment for 1 months rent,, but we gamble on the good ones that will leave a clean and tidy unit when they leave..and loose out on the slobs.. 

Many young professionals come out of school and need to "look" the part- fancy sports car, big house, country club membership etc.
