And to add high taxes to already high taxes, Seattle is trying to put an income tax together "for the rich".

Just food for thought.

I hear from wholesalers ALL the time and most fail... either because they have unrealistic expectations or they are hooked on the get rich quick schemes sold by gurus... having said that, you seem to have a true desire and PASSION to succeed - -- Passion is what sets the successful apart from the average.  

Hi everyone,My name is Rich, I am new to the site here.

Nursing will only help make someone else rich and you will be paid nominally for your time.

I am now working at a food market Bakery/ Starbucks, but would like to change my career into Real Estate Investment.

If you buy that $200/month cash-flow rental in Oklahoma City and you want to visit it twice a year you stand a good chance of blowing that $2400 annual cash-flow on plane tickets, car rentals, hotels, food, etc.  

All short term rentals are prohibited from serving or providing food and alcohol and from posting outdoor signage.A short term rental is a dwelling unit that is rented, leased or otherwise assigned for a tenancy of less than 30 consecutive days.

I am not cash rich, I have lots of equity and some investments so I'm looking for some way to:1) find out who the current mortgage holder is and approach them directly.

That said, it's a great place to live and Portland has a lot to offer, especially if you like good food, good beer, and the outdoors.
