@Katie Haney  careful that price range and tenant range is for experts in the local market generally.. out of state folks stand a very good chance of having some pretty rough financial times .. take your 50k and buy something for 150k you will thank your self over time. there is a reason a duplex would sell that low in todays market.. the market is pricing for risk.. when you live out of market your risk already goes up... there are plenty of better buys out there .. than a duplex at 50k..

@Trevor Carli have you tried reaching out to anyone involved in the Brew City meet up?

If allowed by your lender (if one is involved), figure out the estimate of damages and have the title company place it in an escrow account pending the damage to be fully repaired (would suggest holding a bit more than the actual estimate to cover the unforseen).  

She was under contract with an investor to sell her current preforeclosure (she missed a few payments) however this transaction did not involve you?

I've recently gotten involved with residential flips and rehabs, and am looking for recommendations for construction project managers based out of Portland.

It just sounds like there is a lot of DD to be put into this obviously with the risk and amount of money involved.

No title co. involved.

Am looking for returns in the long run mostly as a passive investment,  risk averse. 

It would involve moving the renters out of both apartments and verifying that the basement apartment is rent-able.

I’m interested to hear if people are beginning to take more risk on repairs, leasing risk, etc. in chase of returns, or are people sitting on the sidelines?
