Gives you sufficient time to check out all the features and faults of the house.

Since you are living in the building, it will be much easier to self-manage and learn the business of landlording, which really isnt that tough once you get the hang of it.

My credit is perfect and I have no debt, problem is being self employed my income on paper is not that great.  

That kind of activity may not be allowed in the brokerages IC agreement with you and also their E & O policy might not cover it.So you have to talk with a brokerage ahead of time and see if they are okay with it or not.An investor who is a broker might be more apt to work with you because if they lose the brokerage then likely they already own other investment properties versus a regular brokerage where transacting is the lifeblood of their business.New agents often tend to be rogue agents with self interest above the brokerages at any costs.

I self manage from a far, while it has had its moments.

What questions should I ask my self in conducting this deal?

Most of the leases are 20-30 yrs in length.I would have first position over the lending bank that financed the building it self is my understanding.The ROI is very good.

However, a self-sustaining core economy must be the foundation of which tourism is built upon.Finally, the tax revenue collected by the city has made it possible for the city council to guide the progress of The Dalles for the better.

I have no interest in your self promotional pictures.
