I found an attorney to be sure I got my principle back.

Debt Service: Principle plus interest9.

I know they had announcements about new investment objectives and partners etc, but I hadn't realized they'd be completely shifting away from the discount 2nd space this quickly.I wish Dave all the best...his platform was great, and his integrity was a big reason I was a repeat buyer.

In my case I was happy to negotiate to extend the inspection period, ask for a concession from the seller given the circumstances, handle the inspection objection paperwork and negotiations, advise my client based on the info he was able to uncover etc. but I was glad he did the heavy lifting on the due diligence side mostly because it isn’t a situation anyone has a playbook for.

Let's go back to 1st principles.

I also wanted to if part of the closing cost could be rolled into the principle of the condo I am buying?

The objective: Understand what areas you can afford.

It’s important to be objective with your prospective tenet evaluations, but I unfortunately have been the victim of a situation where a cat contributed to around $1.5K in damage because of irresponsible pet owners (key point).

But as much as I am against the rent control we have here in Oregon on principle I haven't seen any impact. 

To start, its a great hedge against inflation, which is coming, there's principle paydown, the appreciation of the property, the massive tax benefits, the increase in equity and net worth as each year goes by and the ability to use leverage (loans) to grow.
