Hello BP folks!!

I am pretty new to REI but am very anxious to get involved. I am looking fo me a solid agent to help me evaluate and write offers on distressed SFR properties in NW/SW Portland/Beaverton/Hillsboro a...

A detailed focused goal is a powerful thing my friends! 

friends, do justice to owners in GETTING the listings but in general take the ******** of cell phone pics which may or may not include anything on the inside.

Reason being is we had a bad experience and lost friends over it. 

Hi BF Friends,What are your thoughts about starting off in Auctions?

And the tenant admitted that if the owner didn't waive the rent, it'll take him a year or two to catch up, with the landlord breathing down his neck all this time.At the time this happened, I had a tenant who lost his job, voluntarily moved to his friend's place, and had to discard all his belonging's after failing to sell it.

Hello everyone, I have a friend that don’t know what his next step should be regarding his house.

Here is the quick pros and cons on both.Gloucester: Pros -  Good tenant pool, strong schools, most houses have public utilities, consider the more desirable area of Sicklerville by the local populationCons - higher taxes, pulling permits takes the full ~21 days, higher home prices, overall thinner marginsWinslow:Pros - Lower cost houses, rental friendly township, strong demand for rentals, slowly up & coming in certain neighborhoods, lower taxes, overall fatter marginsCons - Lots of C and D neighborhoods and lackluster tenant pools, poor schools, the more east you get the more well/oil/septic you find, considered less desirable area of Sicklerville by the local populationBy the numbers both GC and WT have similar rent rolls only off by $100 to $200 depending on the house type, therefore Winslow you will net more but have a slightly riskier houseAgain this is just a general view, you'll want to look at each sub-division as there are massive swings within each twp (Ex: Brittany Woods compared to Cobblestone in GC)

I want to hang my license with an investor friendly real estate company that I can optimize my properties exposure through the MLS, as well as have the ability to have access to the MLS for research. 

My friends have recommended I put 5% down just to get in, and then attempt to aggressively pay down the mortgage to hit 20% equity and get rid of that nasty PMI. 5% for 200-300 would be 10-15k.
