Welcome to BP.

Welcome to BP.

Sentence correction; " I probably would not rent to him. Unless his parents lived down the street."

But I would do what people said here about insurance. There is no way like you said to determine someones character in a 5 minute interview for an apartment.

They say in the dating world people can put on an act for approximately 90 days before the real them comes out.

I don't think there is such a thing as "violent" breeds. It is solely the responsibility of the owner on how they train their dog and their relationship with the dog.

Some people treat dogs (and any pet) as a sub-entity. Like a slave. Or their personal hired security guard. Meaning they can do what ever they want and fetch the dog to do their bullying and assault.

You can go down the internet list but the question you should ask is "Which breeds are capable of vicious or "violent" assault.

Example: I have a friend who has 2 female Pitbulls and one male German Shepard/Pitbull Mix. They are sweethearts even though they all hump the crap out of each other. I think he is the Pimp and the 2 females are the "Ladies". My point is these dogs are fully capable of biting my face off and wrestling with them they "yes" could kill me. They have HUGE jaw muscles. I don't think I would not rent to them. Unless....

I think he got a SFR because the neighborhood he lives, is down the street from his parents. And his family has lived there for years. The SFR also has a fully fenced yard.

Hello members of the "Portland Oregon Spring 2016 Meet-Up"

I wanted to say it was a great Meet-Up. 

I had a lot of fun putting faces to profiles and making some contacts.

Yes, I was the guy with the "TRUMP 2016" shirt.

Honestly I don't care who you vote for... Just make sure you all vote.

This way at least you are justified to complain next year.

LOL @Jay Hinrichs

Bro write a book.

I will buy it. 

I read all you have to say, I think you are god on here.

That reminds me. I need to read more.

@Eric Dufault Thanks Eric I started the spreadsheet and looked on some town tax assessor pages to get some owner info. I have sent out 3 letters so far but that was only because I had a title hook up. Is there another place to get accurate title info without a title hookup? I found an address on a tax assessor site but it was completely wrong compared to the actual title address.

@Bryan O. I asked 3 of my 4 lenders. I might have to keep asking and find new lenders because they all told me no without one year of landlord experience. The one I didn't ask won't finance any more than a duplex and I am reaching for the stars here. (4)

Thanks guys for the replies... great info

Sounds great. Count me in.

@Chad W. So it isn't a complete waste of time. It's doable. And I should get my own lawyer in addition to the lenders lawyer. Thank you for the feedback.

@Jerry W. (my browser is busted) anyway, Well it's good to know the big leagues do it. Yea I have nothing to loose. Until something shows on the MLS.

@Leland Barrow well my DTI only allows me 250k and duplexes around here close to the city (20 miles) run from $210k+ for OK condition maybe passing VA inspection. I saw a fourplex for $250 but with the mold damage and only 2 usable doors and my lack of connections I had to pass. I might try finding someplace else further away to grab a fourplex. But this close to the ocean I highly doubt it.

I found plenty of houses (SFH) with no appliances for cheap but VA doesn't like any of that. LOL

If the driving for dollars caught someones attention I was going to pay for the closing costs and buy it AS-IS? Just so to keep their attention, keep them motivated. Thank you for replying.
