As the tech companies start growing so does the local area.

Then value add an ADU (as large as you can build - 1200’ + giant garage (4 car: think repurpose later) for instant increased equity.  

I was just talking with an HVAC tech who was repairing an AC at my rental.

And hands me a copy of the Portland Metro business journal.Each week they feature the top business in the metro area.. in real estate health high tech you name it.this one was top 30 new construction builders..And there I was Number 24  .. and well DR Horton was number 1. 

I did a solo 401k based on saving 10% YoY for 15 years in tech, and cashed out on current bull run and for 80% LTV, 7% over 25 year amortization. 19 unit for 750K and found it through networking with 20 brokers for the right off market deal over the course of 2 years.Goodluck!

I see a giant red flag.

I also understand that the tenants had complained about it to the previous property mgmt company and they sent out a tech but it did not get fixed.  

Do they have some high tech security alarm?

Some obvious things are of course obvious enough even for me to see without having a giant red sign with blinking lights on it.

Be prepared to pay $75 to an electrician to flip a tripped breaker or change a ceiling light bulb, $75 to a plumber to change a flapper in a toilet or a cartridge in a faucet, $750 to replace a hot water tank, fridge, washer/dryer, $100 to a cable/internet tech to unplug and plug in a modem, the list goes on.
