@Mike Nuss  we are in Lake Oswego for the summer so will just drive over :)  And thanks for inviting me I think I have a pretty interesting presentation for the group.. will talk about alternative investments  ( real estate related) and long range pivoting.. 

Just because it's vacant doesn't mean they are interested in selling it.IF you can't find a phone number, try to find alternate addresses and send a handwritten note to all of them asking if they are considering selling.

I'm recently exploring other alternatives to the old fashioned idea of work, save, buy, rinse and repeat.

@Maxwell FontaineSeller must pay for termite inspection fee and ofcouse for termite treatment!

I was trying to convince everyone that notes was horrific when in fact it’s full of money coming down like rain in May in Seattle and your vendors literally where white gloves with the treatment and feedback they give.

So it’s not down payment, money, it’s an alternative to conventional or institutional financing.Since the money is being provided by individuals, there is an opening for rather unconventional lending.

Not that I like FSBO at all but that might be an alternative for you here?

It's easy to get a real person on the phone (vs CBIZ that took three days to return my call) and I'm always happy with the treatment I receive.  

Punitive damages are always taxable, no matter what they're for.Case law usually looks to specifically what the payments are for to determine tax treatment. 

Good way to add value to a rental that is cost effective4) very affordable compared to alternatives alsoHope that helpsSanti
