Hi @Lacee BeitlerI know/have talked to a few people doing this recently, but to be successful it seems to need to be near the light rail line, the North Side (for sporting events), or in South Side/Lawrenceville/Shady Side/etc.Also, just make sure you hold back the 7% tax.

In the event that I do schedule an individual showing I tell them that I will call one hour prior to confirm that they will be coming.

I'm Alan, and I'm here because of a series of events. 

PS, I have found a few meetup groups for investors and real estate associations, and plan on attending those groups events in the coming weeks. 

In the event i default two months after closing and rehabbing the property, what is their exposure?

Outside of a major national event / recession I see Bend's market continuing to climb for years to come. 

In any event the cost of recovery will be more that the money that is owed.

I don't offer all the other amenities, but my belief is that with lending requirements more difficult today than 10 years ago coupled with higher rates in major events that impact one's credit (including divorces, medical debt, student debt, job losses, foreclosures/short sales, etc), it only makes it harder.  

Just take the time and attend at least 1-2 networking events each month, build relationships, and watch what I'm saying.

Hope our paths cross at a Bigger Pockets event soon!
