They are a lenders attorney and deal with a lot of creditor rights and draft all our docs for us (note, loan agreement, personal guarantee) and work with title on deed of trust  I'm just literally starting out so the state is not yet decided but if my arm was twisted I'd pick Ohio. 

Hi All,I want to get started buying notes and wanted to compare apple with apples.

I just started doing research.

I've started a rehab on a SFH and after getting into the project, I've discovered a handful of things that will most certainly push me over budget on my rehab leaving me short of funds. 

However, once I get my own home purchase out the way, the next move is to start building a rental property portfolio. 

I started my career as an Architect specializing in exactly what you are looking for. 

I want to start learning, so i thought underwriting deals would be a great first start.

I am looking for rental properties in Lawton, OK to get started.

Real Estate is definitely not just a "numbers analysis" and you are definitely thinking about things the right way - but I think a good next step for you would be to spend some time putting a lot of this stuff into a (very) basic financial model/spreadsheets mapping out all the potential costs and estimates on effect (effect on value, on exit, different scenarios) - I think getting started with that framework should help with these decisions immensely

The WLB lease (unless you use an ancient version) states that if nothing is done it defaults to a month to month.You can send them a Notice of rent increase (which you can get from WLB as well) sign an new lease, or do nothing and go mtm.I find that a 60 day notice from the tenant is not very helpful, most owners don't start showings until after the unit is vacant, so what's the point?
