(San Fernando Valley - Northridge area) I'm now in B.C.My game plan is to wholesale (flip contracts) to build capital and go into buy and holds thru multi-family homes.

And I have established some practices (thanks to some posts by Will Barnard) that have helped the listing agents judge that that it would be little risk to allow me that access.

I plan to fix it up while living in it, rent the other units/basement and flip it after a year or two or hold it as a rental.Also, I am game for any networking or meetup opportunities around Portland or online, if you are experienced or not I am always interested in grabbing coffee or a beer.

You kinda gotta play that game sometimes.

A 200% return in less than 12 months and little experience playing the game with your own money?

As of that time, my plan is to maintain my job as a construction worker for consistent revenue (have a family) and work real estate with most of my extra time (M-F late afternoon and evenings, Sat-Sun all day) While I will be doing real estate "part time" I will be able to put in close to 40 hrs/week.Once I am able to establish a base and feel comfortable in my earnings I will drop the construction and go full time.

If you make friends with a salesperson, he/she can alert you when a rem becomes available and you can be ahead of the game!

Because you are buying at $27k, I'm guessing the city will take the opportunity to tax you at the latest established value of the property.

Pros and cons are+ upgraded kitchen and bathroom+ large backyard+ quiet street, safe and well established neighborhood.+ den can be used for office+ the family room was a bedroom before with closet- no garage, two car carport- split level, the living room is downstairs- no formal dining room- location is far from public schools but close to a few private schoolsBTW, total available houses for rent on the market is 9 as of today. 6 are 3 bedroom house and they are all listed with higher $/sqft.

Loans are a game where details matter.
