It's not going to be a creative financing class but what it will teach is the use of assets which is what creative financing is based on.As to difficulty, it's a class usually offered at the 2nd year of undergraduate work in college.

The remaining tests are to find out if there are any deferred maintenance to take care of from the previous seller, and see how your property manager performs.

@Nate Hollembaek I am in the Portland area so I do not know the Eugene market extremely well, but I do know enough about it that I think it is a fairly stable market for buy and hold investments because of the fact that it is a college town as well as an attractive city for people to live in long term.Not to sound too cliché, but you should probably get connected with a local real estate investors association there.

The property is listed for $65K and the previous tax assessments were $83K according to zillow.

We live in a college town, so we have always had the idea of rental income in the back of our mind.

I'm new to this site and just graduated from college.

I have previously visited a REICNY meeting but am not a member.

I'm almost 21 and real estate investment has been on my mind for years, since someone explained to me the concept of OPM.On the forefront, I'm a broke college student who (thankfully) works for herself as an eBay contractor in the antiques and collectibles business.

In my notice to tenants, I ask them to report what issues they are having that need my attention that they haven't mentioned previously.

After graduating from college a year ago I've been learning the ropes of real estate investing through this site, through various books (Rich Dad Poor Dad series especially) and some freelance work.As good as the books and online material out there are, I'm looking to work for an investor so I can learn the nitty gritty of the business and get started investing myself.
