It is a wonderful place, and especially so for investors looking for a huge income and appreciaiton from the lucrative overnight renatl market...supported by 13 million annual tourists.Most of these homes range from $200,000 to $1.4 million asking price, and yield $35,000 to $165,000 yearly income!!!

He bought it 3 years ago for 130,000, and did a little work on it recently.The sign on it now has a few letters and a phone number, not a real estate agent or company.After reading a TINY bit here, I wonder if that seller now is a wholesaler, or at least someone who bought it at a lot less and is now asking the same as what the original fellow had.

I just signed up and I figure the education I'll get couldn't hurt, but I was wondering if anyone here has earned one of those $1,000 checks for finding them a deal.

I wonder if anyone could help me to analyze a potential deal.

For all of the newbies out there, I was wondering what excuses you have for not investing.

(Frankly, my ex made a fortune, so I've seen up close and personal--it CAN be done.)Wondering if some of you from MA might recommend your favorite real estate investment associations?

Wondering if I could get on the phone with you and discuss the process of acquiring, renting, and flipping properties.

But I'm am now wondering if you guys can recommend some books that one has to have read to start buying real estate, I'll want to hold my real estate for a long time to generate cash flow and I am not in to quick deals/spekulation.

For example, if I have a strategy of sending several letters out for leads re: buying notes, I'm wondering if I should put all this info in a database but what have some of y'all used?

I was wondering is anyone in Portland Oregon?
