So call a few times (not too many) be super friendly (remember, this is small town lending) and stay patient!

As of now I'm working with my junior realtor (close friend & new to the industry) to source a property where the rent income will be able to cover debt service and operating expenses all while living in one of the units (therefore, removing the rental income of that unit from the equation).

Everyone here started with zero experience, so you're amongst friends ;)Sounds like you have a solid plan of attack to build your network.

Hi BP Friends,I'm doing my first 1031 Exchange, and I need some simple help from those of you with experience.The house I'm selling was titled in my name.   

I’ve a friend who owns some property there.

She seems to be a nice tenant & the dog is definitely friendly.

I am renting to students who have already expressed interest in filling the additional space with friends.

My initial thoughts were to rent it out, but an investor friend recommended the owner financing option.

I'm looking to buy my first flip this winter and I've got my eyes on Friendly in Eugene and Washburne in Springfield.

Today I went back to the apartment to check up on things and I noticed that the pay or quit notice that I put on a door had been removed so I know someone has been there inside but I do not know if it was him or maybe a friend of his that has access to the apartment.
