Well I'm already a landlord - yes it involves some babysitting your renters, but that comes with the territory and I dont have a problem with that.

Or $545/mo, which wipes out the $225/mo negative and puts me in positive after-tax cash flow territory ($320/mo positive).

Due to the presence of a junior lien, it isn't likely the bank would accept a DIL.Perhaps the owner/mortgagor misspoke.The Bankruptcy Trustee might consider allowing the sale of the property, but be advised it is the Trustee's job to realize maximum proceeds to satisfy the creditors.

Therefore alot of property management are also agents who sell houses.Where we are there is a huge military and correctional officer presence.

Just be, or have, a presence on a regular basis.I rented to students in Troy, NY for two years.

You'd be coming to unfamiliar territory and Portland is a big enough metro area that it should have a healthy amount of deals available.

We are ramping up a new campaign and expanding our territories for 2014.Would love to meet with you guys offline as part of the BP community.

I keep hearing this thing about reaching out and networking, figured I'd take a shot ;) I'm in LA and a drive/flight to Phoenix is pretty doable if I'm going to be in the presence of people who have experience and are willing to help a new longer term rental holding investor.

Since you spoke of DM needing to evolve how is your web presence ?

They've gone out of their way to welcome our tenants and get acquainted with them, which benefits them and us.I suspect that HOAs' online presence is only going to grow and become more beneficial as time goes by.At the end of the day, an association dues payment is just another expense, which has to be incorporated into the calculations.
