Also, business cards are evaluated differently and high balances aren't treated as severely, if at all.My main concern is how to structure a deal so these get paid back in a timely manor.

A bit high, but hey you can try and deal with all the headaches, see if it's worth it.

I highly recommend Seller Financing - it is how I have bought most all of my properties.

This gives you a high bounce rate and Airbnb will change this frequently.

Is this up to me to make sure I have a high end contractor to review and quote the property?

That high down payment of $100,000 also helps reduce the risk quite a bit since it gives you a good chunk of cash right away and reduces the loan amount your buyer needs.To get a clearer picture of your return on investment (ROI) and your annualized ROI (CAGR), let's break it down step-by-step.### Initial Calculations- **Initial investment:** You bought the house for $235,000.- **Sales price:** $315,000.- **Down payment received:** $100,000.### Loan Details (After Down Payment)- **Amount financed:** Sales price - down payment = $315,000 - $100,000 = $215,000.- **Monthly payment from buyer:** $1,394.49.- **Loan term:** 30 years (360 months).### Calculating Total Returns- **Total payments received over 30 years:** $1,394.49 x 360 = $501,816.40.- **Total amount received (including down payment):** $501,816.40 + $100,000 = $601,816.40.### Calculating ROI- **Total profit (not accounting for costs like maintenance, taxes, etc.):** Total amount received - initial investment = $601,816.40 - $235,000 = $366,816.40.- **ROI over 30 years:** ($366,816.40 / $235,000) x 100 = 156.09%.### Calculating Annualized ROI (CAGR)The formula for CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) is:\[ CAGR = \left(\frac{Final\ Value}{Initial\ Value}\right)^{\frac{1}{Number\ of\ Years}} - 1 \]In your case:\[ CAGR = \left(\frac{\$601,816.40}{\$235,000}\right)^{\frac{1}{30}} - 1 \]Let's calculate this:\[ CAGR = \left(\frac{601816.40}{235000}\right)^{\frac{1}{30}} - 1 \]\[ CAGR = (2.56)^{\frac{1}{30}} - 1 \]\[ CAGR \approx 1.0303 - 1 \]\[ CAGR \approx 0.0303 \text{ or } 3.03\% \]This means your annualized return is about 3.03% each year over 30 years.

Easy to see why REI Nation is such a success as a company and has the track record of excellent performance for your clients.

It was a battle getting them to agree to the Purchase price so I highly doubt they will budge lower, especially with closing scheduled soon. 

What doesn't work as well is the beginner who buys for appreciation in a high market.  

I am worried about getting in with the prices being so high in the entire Portland area, but I’m more worried about not getting in and getting my real estate portfolio going.Best Regards,Justin
