If she came thru with another deal I wouldn't hesitate to use her. 

As I'm sure you have seen by now, the BP community is amazing so don't be hesitant to ask any questions you might have.

Don't hesitate to reach out and tap the wealth of experience available.

Most are willing to provide it upfront, but some hesitate and they are the ones to avoid.It is important to understand the property management agreement: how they pay you, WHEN they pay you, when they pay if rent is late, and their inspections policy.

Although I'm a bit hesitant because this would be my first real estate purchase ever (I don't own anything right now) I have first hand experience of the Amazon effect on a city as I have lived in Seattle for the past 4 years.How does everyone feel about buying now?

I agree with your hesitation on Portland. 

I would likely leverage to a 75% LTV and diversify into either another RE or another investment option.I would be hesitant to sell a multiplex in a market with the historical ROI of San Diego that has significant prop 13 property tax advantages. 

It IS still very profitable (tax benefits, cash flow, and profit) AND assures the investment will thrive and survive.I hope this was helpful-Don't hesitate to reach out.Dino

I apologize if this is a pedestrian post, but im wondering if im analyzing this properly, should just wait to buy a better deal OR if i'm hesitant  and scared just being an out of state investor.For what it's worth, I am an active realtor in Los Angeles and i have a SFR and Duplex in Michigan that are performing very well. 

I am a little hesitant to move forward since I like running my own numbers, but I did want to hear reviews of this service.Thank you!
