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.

Let’s say you find the deal, your contractor fixes it up, your real estate agent sells it and your friend does the design and staging.

The system can be programmed to turn on when the user is home and off when gone. 

Why you should stop looking for a "investor friendly" RE agent

I am in the process of working with a friend that will be a hard money lender. 

If it was me, this is where I would go start talking very seriously with a couple friends that had expressed an interest owning real estate. 

I flip and my friends who are REI also seeing shrinking profit margins not only due to rising material and labor costs but also the loss of multiple bids.However, with any market there are locations still commanding high dollar.
