New to all of this and I am looking in to buying a duplex in the Portland area as my first rental property.

Very interesting thanks for sharing, how does this kind of thing differ form the chip manufacturing and server farms we are seeing in the midwest also? 

This is not legal advice, just friendly information.Obviously, I'm biased, but an attorney should put that together.

Quote from @Leslie Beia: Hi!

In the short term, I aim to replace my monthly income from my current entry-level job, I dont make a ton of money so this shouldn't be too difficult.

I'm currently looking to acquire more deals and would appreciate any tips on finding legitimate private lenders.

Im struggling to understand why they wont give general information.

Recommend:1) You learn from this and update your form/contract to address it.2) Change the word "deposit" to "fee".
