I don't really think this area is for new investors even though purchase prices are low, but if done correctly, you can definitely cash flow out there.

I will definitely check that out, thank you!

I think this has been a factor which has definitely caused me to slow down.

However, it would definitely not be close to a B class location in Huntsville, if that helps.  

Yeah you definitely want to know your MAO going into any negotiation with the seller.

I would definitely say that Fishtown is over inflated at the moment. 

Now that we're looking more seriously, I'm definitely planning on attending some RE events Thanks for sharing your info @bruce cassidy. 1.6% sounds amazing! 

It is definitely a hot (and evolving) topic so thanks to @Wayne Brady for creating a thread.

Definitely starting out right - you're about to gain priceless knowledge on the PM, rehab, tenant, regulations, and I'm guessing finance fronts of this crazy game.

I think if you are acting as your own listing broker for your flips and do a few a year the cost would definitely make up for the fees you will have to pay versus what you would save in commissions - at least if you are in the Portland Metro area.
