The difficulty of the job combined with the ease of entry is why wholesalers suck. 

@Eric DeVito I am partial to Columbus, Ohio because of the great things going on here right now, combined with property still remaining relatively affordable...I personally would't focus on the most popular areas for investing...due to the piranhas that inevitability show up to hot markets and drive up prices. 

Andy’s IRC 415 limit is based on 20% of the combined income of $10,000($100,000 – $90,000), less the ½ self-employment (SE) tax.

We all have unique experiences with how we are impacted and how often.  

The benefit of private lending is the ability to find unique structures that add maximum value for both parties.      

The user interface is clunky, the property advertisement page is very basic, and the ability to do "unique" things is tough.Some of the other services I use are Podio, ISC (for resident screening), Cozy for electronic payments, and rentalapplication.net for online applications (as it was free, but soon to charge). 

Hood and downtown, plus a 600 square feet budget finished basement with full bath - basement not currently legal living space.Located in SW Portland on Marquam Hill between Barbur and Terwilliger, just 1 mile south of downtown, walking distance to OHSU and 1 block to the bus line.It was built on 1908, and is a unique old PDX situation in that there is no street running in front of the house (the original street was vacated when Barbur Blvd was put in).

On top of that, found out today that there was a tenant where four prior judgements/evictions combined that were all missed.

What I mean by that, is each property is unique and each will have their own set of numbers.

My partner and I have 58 years combined experience in real estate; and want to grow methodically to preserver reputation and Client Satisfaction.
