You should never quit your day job until you have your real estate business producing at a level that you can survive.

Frankly speaking we just don't have the population dynamics or the geographic constraints that it would take to produce a true PoP investment strategy like you can find in Tier 1 metros or quickly growing 2nd and 3rd tier metros with geographic barriers.To illustrate this, I would recommend driving down each street between NW 10th and NW30th, from May to Classen and back. 

For upgrades, I don't know - because I literally don't know what Id want, but would be hoping for suggestions that would increase the value of the property and make it attractive to renters when I leave in a few years.So for the upgrades, do I need a specialist?

My question is, what is an attractive commission for  a listing agent for “dealers”?

I was attracted to arbitrage because the cash flow can be really food.

He knows many people who are going to come and individually rent the rooms out, so on a rent per room basis, the cash flow is actually very attractive.

Will the property attract an owner occupant, or cheapskate low-ball investors like yours truly?

For instance, I always wanted to have a portfolio of passive income-producing assets.

However, CraigsList listings no longer produce any responses.

Easy to get into, usually easy to rent, produce decent cash flow quick.
