Essentially there is a property management company that finds investors to pay for the build of duplexes that are then sold for 30%-40% more than the cost to build.

My favorite part is having a dedicated contact person that walks you through the entire platform and helps you get set up.

We appreciate your business, and we hope you continue to be happy in your home.In recent months, property taxes and school taxes have increased, and the costs of labor, materials and insurance premiums have increased significantly.

The city does make it somewhat difficult to set up but it is more paperwork than anything else.

If you plan to be there LESS than 7 years, then I might consider NOT BUYING because if prices stay the same it will take nearly that long to pay down a mortgage enough to cover commissions and closing costs to sell and break even. 

In your case, having a local owners rep could certainly help but that will add additional costs.

The Oregon location, I'm trying to work with my brother on getting him an FHA loan and me covering the cost on a multiplex and he has been delaying a bit.

Rents do go up over time (as do costs, but hopefully at a lower rate). 

Just a way to reduce the cost of us having a place there.

I want to convert the church into a house, which will cost about 100k.
