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.

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 heat exchangers fail most frequently on the propane boilers due to the high acidity, low temperatures the propane condensing units run at, my friend who owns a 3rd Generation heating/plumbing company doubts those units will ever come close to outlasting a traditional 3 pass boiler.Agree the pros of having a propane boiler/furnace-fuel is cleaner, services tend to be cheaper, tanks can be bought or fuel company can supply tank, work great if you also have a tankless hot water heater with same fuel source.Efficiency of Maine does offer rebates as well for the high efficiency units, they don't mention this but, if you insulate all baseboard piping that is exposed in the basement, take photos and have a high efficiency oil boiler they will qualify as the same rebate as the propane unit.

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.
