Termites are quite scary... especially if you rely on your property manager to detect and treat on a regular basis to make sure no WDO get in...

An 18% interest rate won’t scare them—they may demand it and get it regularly.

So basically a regular LLC would cost close to $1500 and the Series LLC would cost close to $8000.

That information is on the regular PAWS site. 

Motivated sellers are much different than regular sellers (or non motivated sellers).

@Garrett Hawk I would still take your commission as the listing agent and a regular industry standard management fee.

I ask myself this question regularly and there are a couple reasons why I invest in Portland’s hot market. 

I go to the gym to lift weights regularly.  

Examples are: tenants who party, sell drugs, make too much noise at night, have police called on them regularly, cause problems and generally depress and bully other "good" tenantsSome reasons I can think are:the tenant is on disability and the rent is guaranteedthe tenant is somehow related to the landlordthe landlord is negligentAre there any other other reasons why nuisance tenants are not kicked out?

I imagine one of the reasons you are flipping is because you want to be independent, to not have a boss or have to deal with the BS that you get at a regular job.
