My first flip was in a flood plain....The 100 year map had the corner of the deck in the flood plain, but common sense showed there wasn't really any real danger of flooding and the property never had any issue in the past with this.

One buyer advantage of 1031X clientele that holds more weight in Oregon is that there are often dramatically fewer all cash offers and are generally encouraged to be fairly aggressive. 

This level of confusion can be very dangerous, especially if you both have already signed papers to hold deed to this property and are both 100% liable to the mortgage.Pay the cost upfront for an attorney to draft everything out between you two now, or deal with the pain and cost of attorney fees, lawsuits, time in court, and all the time lost.

Avoid Springfield, unless you feel capable of self-managing multis rented entirely to Sec 8, knowing that even going into those areas can be dangerous. 

The danger of the LLC isn't that it will hurt you, but rather that it will give you a false sense of security.

Pressing buttons without understanding of what they actually do can be dangerous.

I will keep them in mind for deals that do meet their criteria, but in my market, those are farther and fewer than the 40-50K deals.

This is also the type of job where going with the lowest bidder can be dangerous. 

To the South and East side of Vineland are fewer people and more nature preserves. 

Not the least of which means fewer properties to manage, and have added expenses along the way.Quality over quantity every day of the week.
