I stumbled upon this site brainstorming an idea I want to make a reality and thought this would be a good place to look for suggestions/advice.

Been reading the site for a month or so and decided to get more involved.

Hello and welcome to this site Anthony! 

Houses are like cars here where they lose value over time.  

Well first of all, anyone who promises you fast results or “secrets” is not a coach...I would run not walk ....for a coach or mentor to be effective you have to have clarity regarding what you want and appropriate expectations...a coach can go a long way to shorten what is a long learning curve...you can do it without one...your odds of it taking longer , losing money or otherwise failing to take action are much, much higher....if you aren’t ready for a coach you should listen to every podcast on BP .  

It must be a feature that shows up only for paying members on this site.

:I use On-site, check them out.

I think Rarebird would be doing their members a big service to invite one of the Department of Real Estate enforcement officers to a meeting and explain what is legal and what is not.. and same with someone from the CCB...Having gone toe to toe with those folks and losing  .. and the division of corporate securities and paying fine.Oregon is  tough place to do this the way all the rest of the wholesalers work through out the country.. 

Hi Wendy, those sites that say "We Buy Houses" are actually wholesalers as well and if you get a good enough deal they could buy it from you but it would have to be really amazing to have enough margin for both you and the other wholesaler.

If you default once, does he regain possession of the house and you lose the 10+ years that you have paid him the $2,000 a month?
