Suggesting to them buying their house for a wholesale range offer or lower dependent on the extent of the rehab, then having a contract in place that gives them a percentage of the profit to help get them back on their feet, paying off debts etc.

There were lease violations disrespecting the other neighbor's leased space and harassing the other neighbor and they smoked in the property against lease, lied about conversations, has made up stories about plumbing issues that plumbers couldn't find causes to, tried to get a dehumidifier and force me to pay, accused me on two different occasions very agressively in regards to the heat/electric service.

Without new companies creating similar-paying replacement jobs, workers may have to settle for lower-paying service sector positions.

@Chinku Chinku how is paying the loan balance down going to help you reach your goals?

I have a few brand new homes popping out of the ground in Canby Oregon.. msut of Portland proper is very old the new builds tend to be skinnies or expensive . 

Quote from @Sarp Ka: Quote from @Patrick Roberts: Am I understanding this correctly that youre expecting to get a $700k property for $500k because youre paying cash?

On the other hand, I’m hesitant to simply pay down more of a property, as we don’t need the immediate cash flow.Fortunately, both my wife’s job and mine are recession-proof, which allows us to be a bit more aggressive with our investments.I’d really appreciate advice from investors who have experience with frequent moves or military service.

My goal is to offer an affordable monthly payment that competes with renting a comparable property and offers a benefit to paying a bit more to "own". 

Just sell and pay off that loan or two.

If you did DSCR, 20% down I have a Par rate at 6.375% so you pay broker fee but no points.
