I have developed some sceptisism towards "home run play" type of investments - buying farm land cheap in the path of development and the scoring big is financially appealing, but the idea  also strokes the ego; every investor loves a good turn arround story!

Management can run about +/-20% for short term rentals in the area, but they will take care of everything for you, so it may be worth it as opposed to trying to manage it from afar.I currently have a unit on the market that is in the Miramar Beach area. 

I will have to get my score 775 run by Chase to see if they can offer anything better than the mess i am in. 

That being said, I am also being warned to stay completely away from being involved in the transaction because any association with my own personal real estate (bought outside of conventional mortgages) is in violation of FINRA's rules.Has anyone run into this before or know anyone who has their licenses and still invests in real estate without using conventional mortgages?

Any guidance will be appreciated, I really dont know what to do and I am running out if time.Thanks,

I got mine through a run in at a grocery store, the lady had 200+ homes, it took about a year to get the list of homes together and I assigned packages of 10 to buyers, that took about 9 months.

If it’s a condo, they’re usually pretty easy, older homes have problems, but depending on how you’ve got it set up, you may not run into an issue for months, so paying someone $$$ for nothing kills me. 

One of my contacts ended up giving me an opportunity to look at a pocket listing of 3 SFH, all with tenants in place (Section 8) and after running the numbers they cash-flowed nicely. 

you cannot legal market a property you don't own in Oregon.but like I said you being from the other side of the boarder your probably not going to get any grief.but what you do run the risk of is anyone can just go around you since what your doing is not legal.. all the bigger wholesalers who work Oregon all pay cash then resell.. and most wholesale deals are bought at foreclosure auctions. 

We've since pulled out of the deal, but I'm wondering if anyone has any advice (other than run the other direction) and/or experience with this type of reno.Basically this side by side duplex is splitting down the middle.
