(Will leave my opinion of that fund for another time) If that is tax free or tax deferred would come into play too.Well, that's an option some people choose because it's quite safe as long as Oregon funds the pension system. 

@Matthew Longwell, I am a fan of simple transactions.

Perhaps tips on dealing with transactional funding on how best to use it ?

I did the real estate work for the transaction at no cost, and as a result, were able to purchase the property under market value.

If I don't do any transaction (b/c I cant win any clients ) after I get my license, can I deduct my 1.5-2k dues as QBD tax loss ?

I try to have the same contractor for one specific property so the tenants can feel safe and know who exactly is coming to fix any issues.

If you plan to spend six figures or more on a single transaction, it is best to go into it with the best knowledge and information to get the best deal possible.

These way we could get money from investors while their money is safe.

Based on our purchase price, even if we remove all items from the property including the existing mobile home, we would still be safe based on lot value and could sell it as is via cash, seller finance or even place another repo mobile home on the property and rent or seller finance for significantly more than we have in it.

This was told to me by a HUD representative, but I would still verify that information just be safe.
