Opps my bad fellas must have been the capitalist in me that went straight for tax brackets LOL!

Some are relatively safe, and in some they set you on fire when they mug you, board the buses like Jesse James and rob every one on board, and there are places where gangs will take control of an entire apartment builing and hold it while they rob everyone in the building.You need to know the good areas from the bad and you need to know real estate law before you start putting your money there.I also suggest that you check into inheritance law if you are going to be a family unit.

It was bad for me... was just another lonely day...

And badly managed, as it seems too many are, they will put onerous restrictions and costs onto your property, reducing the price.

Portland's market is not as bad as most.

They hear on the news all the bad things going on with real estate and don't think twice about it.Then when the subject of RE comes up, all the can repeat is what they've heard on the news or read in the newspaper, "man, real estate is really bad right now", "people are losing a lot of money in real estate".Nobody really thinks twice about what it really means when RE is low.

HAs can and do change the rules after you have already purchased.If the HA has been badly managed and a major repair is needed, there might possibly be a very large assessment againt each unit.

Unless you're talking lots of money, multiple thousands, I think you may be throwing good money after bad to put much into perusing this.Jon

The lender simply puts it to the back of the loan and it gets stacked on top of you loan balance.Your balance is = $300,000.00regualr interest payment = $1000.00You pay = $500.00New Balance is = $300,500.00You get the picture of doing this every month and remember since you balance goes up then you payment will increase as well.But wait the lender isn't all that bad they will only let you go to 110% of the LTV (Loan to Value of your property) and then they will take a recourse and have you make principle and interest payments to pay it down again.
