Given the use, I would want to see if there are any concerns with the condition of the property.

The notion of a contractor handling the property management in the end is attractive to me as, (in my mind) they will be motivated to get the work done quickly without cutting corners if there is a rental to handle in the end.While there, I met with 2 other contractors.

Many landlords are very concerned over the effect of the new Oregon law; 608.     

An overlay of shingles on the roof that I believe to be 10 years old (property was sold 2x in 2009 $53K then $110K) I am assuming all renovations happened then.There were other things that seem minor but these "structural issues" concerned the inspector. 

I see far to often the contractors price is higher and design is cut or it will cost more. 

Part of it also plays into my job, I'm a home inspector and can set my own schedule so if I had less debt I could cut back on how much I had to work and be able to enjoy life more. 

If it is about the condition of the house and the seller's are concerned it could affect a sale, that is a good indication that its something that should be disclosed.

Taking the loan against the rental property will seriously cut into cash flow and gives you no tax benefit, so it is not a good long term strategy. 

Even with some of the writing and reporting staff from many major blogs focusing on concern with rising interest rates, investing in real estate and rentals is sure to be a great move in 2019.

Based on the case I just learned about regarding the three-year time limit to file an ejectment a lawsuit, I am concerned about any recourse.
