Think about going to see there office most lenders do the appraisal and when its done they charge you .. they dont have you send the money up front.. but maybe some do.but worse case scenario if they don't fund your only out 950.00 but many do this and also have non refundable EM thinking the deal is going to close and they lose that as well. that's why reputable lenders are very important to keep you from losing 1 to 5k on a fake lender or more  and again I have no clue about this company.. just say in  how the fake lenders operate and what your risks are 

Please feel free to reach out and ask questions about lending, whether it is for your first time primary SFR or if you are a seasoned investor looking to add another property to your portfolio! 

International investors should expect an interest that's 1-1.5% higher than U.S. citizen primary mortgages because of the added risk to the lender3.

But as a full-time strategy it's not at all worth the risk

🤷‍♂️Love this post and what Scotty posted.Congrats on your success thus far.As much as I love real estate and business it never is passive and never will be totally passive unfortunately.There is always a risk component involved and a reliance on someone.There will always be that gut wrenching phone call that makes the stomach turn.It all come's down to how much is enough for someone to live a happy life.I unofficially retired at 28 and am back chasing now at 36.Parents and family are getting older and have a huge will and in a way pressure to retire my old man.A beautiful person and father.I've checked off mum and uncle from the list hahaFew more to go lolI am and always will be a "real estate guy" per se but a few years ago I asked myself this question:"How can I get the highest possible return, with the least amount of risk, without doing any work and without involving anyone else?"

I'd also recommend checking out Investor Lab – their events are worthwhile, though there is a fee.Besides REIAs, look into:Meetup.com: Many local real estate groups host events here.Landlord Associations: They provide excellent resources for both Portland and state-level, which could be helpful if you decide to self-manage your home in Salem.Best of luck on your real estate journey, and feel free to reach out if you need any advice!

But if you can adjust your debt situation that relieves most of the risk of owning real estate.
