I have a 3 party who I have used since day one $45.00 to do background  so far so good couple bumps nothing too big .Last place they lived is BIG make sure you don't skip any thing that should be done .When they are serous take a picture of the DL of all folks on the rental just like a apartment would do .

I've been living in the house with one roommate paying $600 of the mortgage.

They love living there but they want the unit updated, about a $50k cost. 

- Family is full of General ContractorsGoal- Plan to live in 1-2 Years before doing a cash-out refi for our next property- Goal is to lower our monthly rent.

You live in one of the biggest REI areas of the country, so smart to take advantage, especially now that they opened up 3 and 4 unit multis to owner occupant low downpayment options.I looked at a great 4 -plex available in Gladstone for $365, will probably go for $385.great deal. good condition. $800 per 2 bed /1 bath unit. quick mortgage calculator puts zero% down monthly payment at $3500, plus then offset with $2400 puts you on the hook for $1100. 

Recently updated with brand new countertops, fresh paint throughout, sleek new flooring, and stylish light fixtures, this home offers a chic and turnkey living experience.

I lived in this house before, so I know what’s going on.

I sign up for this all in 2019 for this is the first time I’ve logged in.I bought a place in 2018, remodeled and sold in 2022 and chased my dream of 20 years of moving to Jackson Wy however investing here in not an option since I’m not a billionaire sooooo I am planning my next moves and looking to invest.I have roughly $30K (potentially $50K) to invest in a flex and flip as I’m not sure I could do the landlord thing.I have been looking in places I would like to actually live which is eastern Oregon, North central/East Tennessee, Rapid City or Naples-Clearwater Florida areas.I have even considered building (having a builder build it) new or spec home so if anyone knows of any reputable builders?
