Part of the reason I invested in the Oregon Coast in 2018 was I thought to myself, "In twenty years this is going to be a great escape."

I like the idea of short/mid term rentals more then the long term...one big reason is not having to move all of his stuff...or at least being able to take my time.

If you live in a duplex now and want to buy a single-family home then that is generally a good reason for the move. 

Purchase price: $34,000 Cash invested: $16,000 Procured an investor for this deal and I live in the house while I’m fixing it up.

We started off on a good note with the tenant, he paid his rent on time, and so we didn't have a real reason to get too involved.

Ideally we stay in Cobb/Cherokee county and we stay under a 150k purchase price.

Inventory is way up from last year and prices are beginning to come back down to earth! 

The breakers kept tripping that's main reason why I upgraded the electrical box and a lot of diy handyman special upgrades and repairs throughout the years in this house.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

I am wondering if it is a good idea to invest in one of these foreclosed homes or old single families. the prices there are actually extremely cheap compared to where I live in new jersey. my overall plan is to own multiple rental properties.
