@Wayne BrooksI think you meant to add a no in your first sentence.Tax would be sales price minus adjusted basis. 

In Oregon it is a no no to meet with the appraiser when you are buying a house.

@Jenn A. No

If she has lot debt outstanding and bad score then this is a no go!  

@Melonie Dickson I just closed on a property that I *almost* did a no contingency offer, but at the last minute, I trusted my gut and added a 5 day due diligence.

Even if I low balled the montly rent I still come out with a nice amount on the 8 properties minus the yearly property taxes it is a no brainer.

Bad debt for a investor is a no go in my opinion.

With my W-2 income, I can still qualify for a 30-year fixed rate loan at 4.625% (a no-brainer in my opinion)2) I have capital that I need to deploy and the measly 3% interest I'm earning simply doesn't compare to how those funds could serve me in the rental market.

LOL.. figured with my Tesla I have no gas.. and I get bored sometimes so I though maybe I give folks a ride around and socialize a little. .. but then when I read the fine print that I had to accept dogs.. that was a no go in Oregon they would be wet and smelly and muddy.. so my lyft career never lyfted off LOL.. on a side note.. one gig I like that is real estate related for those looking for extra money is that of a transaction coordinator realtors really rely on those folks and you don't have to drive anywhere  computer great scanner and some skills.. my wife pays her 400.00 a file.. and she closed over 30 files last year.. so that's just one realtor and her coordinator has many realtors I bet she makes well over 100k a year from her home.. ( now she is very good I want to emphasize that ) 

I saw a graph that shows east of Cleveland is a no go zone but lots of places south and west of it has been doing pretty well.Thanks!
