I hope to learn a lot from everyone here at BiggerPockets and be able to get the knowledge and experience to help others who want to start their journey in real estate as well.

Honestly, I'm curious to see what the other, more established and knowledgeable BP members have to saw about the market here in Bend, but I've got some general feedback: Prices have been steadily on the rise for quite a few years now and there was/is a "housing crisis" due to the high demand and low supply.

You can find all the info on my profile.I have no ulterior motives, no NEXT class that costs more, just some basic knowledge to find some deals and either wholesale them or get started in rehabbing.

I have a purchase agreement and an assignment contract that I needed a good real estate attorney to vet to make sure they're good for PA, NJ and possibly other areas (but mainly PA) that plan to wholesale in.

Benefit from their knowledge (until you build you own preferences).  

Once you do that, then you'll have the general knowledge needed to make more accurate adjustment to property values. 

The Civil Rights Commission will assign an investigator to see if there is cause for a charge - they do not operate on a "guilty until proven innocent" basis.

In this tight inventory market, it's far easier for you to find a 70% ARV home than it is a 60% ARV home to have room for an assignment fee.Obviously, we do it every day in both categories, but I'm also a Licensed GC with dozens of crews, a full office team including a rehab manager, etc... so it makes flipping very easy for us.Flipping is much riskier from a time, money, rehab, construction, crew, theft, vandalism during ownership, lawsuit, insurance, holding cost perspective....but we still do plenty of them.We used to be 80-90% retail flips. 

I don't actually own the business (just lease to the business for them to sub-lease to residents) and therefore have a more primitive knowledge of the guidelines.

With 7 properties, at this point your knowledge and experience is as valuable as a good deal.
