@Samuel Morris Fish business cards are cheap.

There is no reason to email you every day with updates.If that is what you require, then you shouldn't be looking to hire a property manager but rather manage yourself.I assure that you will know every little nut and bolt of what goes on with your property if you self manage.In regards to your statement below:@Eric C.

It's nuts. 

They're focused more on the big fish that they know they'll get good commissions from.I have experience, personally, with small commercial in Portland and am happy to provide some additional insight on your property if I can.

It's a psychological thing for most people that once they have a fish on the line (you) they don't want to lose you. 

Portland is very commutable and the surrounding areas offer great places to live with access to all of the amenities you could need (hiking, biking, beaches, skiing, hunting, fishing, etc.).If I can help you in any way, I would be happy to.

It's nuts.

I would strongly advise you pass on your parents property, many more fish in the sea when you are actually ready to invest. 

The pics look good, though the fish-eye lens is noticeable in some of them.
