First of all, thank you for clicking on this thread, there are a million of them out there and I promise not to waste your time.So here is the scenario:Multi-Family property (4 units) - Listed @ $205,000, on market 65 days.Estimated Acquisition: $195,000Realistic rent: $3000/mo ($750/unit)Property Taxes/yr: $5200Insurance/yr: $2400Planned Maintenance/yr: $1200Estimate Vacancy: 5%Down Payment: 25%Management Fee: 8%I have just recently gotten into the concept of REI and I've read all of the forums, blogs, etc. of investors having a hard time trying to find a good deal in the Houston area market, and I found this property quickly, in a public method of discovery with very little effort in about 45 minutes of searching. 

wholesaling as taught by gurus is not legal in Oregon that's one issue.but for meet ups  check out @Mike Nuss program  Rarebird.. lots of good investors attend this .

That is what you are facing, bad publicity.

It depends on what market, but big trends or large employers moving to area or adding plants, colleges adding programs etc.

I was looking through the public property records for an area that I'm looking to invest in, and when I was looking through the page it said that the "2018 Total Value/Taxable", was $79,000.

well since U want owner contracts I would be following the public records of anything MOrris Ocean point in INdy there are going to be 400 plus properties that I am sure the owners would like to maximize their return on and one way to do that is to sell on contract..

I personally have begun running all of my insurance past a local public adjuster here in the Chicago area that I met at a REIA.

@India Huguely Congratulations on making the first big step to pursuing your goals, making them public.

However, the work we have to do (we do the turnover most of the time), along with the aggravations that come with dealing with the general public have made it not worth it any more for us, and we'd like to convert it to a traditional SFR.
