West side humid/rainy much diff than e of Cascades arid. 

It is beautiful country and a lot of farm land (Cascade, New Meadows, Donnelly, Council, etc) that will be developed in the next 20 years.

There are areas that will appreciate for example Westview historic area, Audubon street really the entire area of Cascade Rd but there are also some areas in the West end part that will not appreciate.

With properties in Melbourne, Okeechobee, Palm Bay, Colorado Springs and Cascade CO it is getting a little difficult to track everything without professional help.This is one thing an Entrepreneurs should not be focusing on!

you have a few options.. in high priced west of cascades markets No cash means no luck and no business.now you could venture out to old logging and fishing towns in rural WA... and probably scare something up in the rental realm.. but those would be basically non appreciated assets and really why own them anyway... with no money your 100% leveraged in the rental realm and as such cash flow with be minimal.. so unless you can seriously scale I think its a complete waste of time and energy.If you want in the RE game and have no money best way to get in is to get licensed and go to work for a top producer getting paid to learn.. and learn in a manner that is sustainable.. this no money down stuff can work in some situations but its not a consistant or very productive in our markets here on the west coast.. too much cash competition.. that's the reality.

Considering the fact that the floor is buckling, this could cascade to effect the rest of the wood floor in that area.

During the last recession I saw many notes that came due and even though all payments were made on time and the borrower/property was still creditworthy, the current noteholder would not refinance nor could they get anyone else to handle the refinance. this led to a lot of the cascading problems.. 

If you can't move your properties and lenders come knocking that can lead to cascading foreclosures.Tough call on your options.

Let them educate you instead ...I worked with a large SF based syndicator back in the 80s  it was DFW multi that started a cascade of events that led to the billion dollar company eventually going under.. 

But there are passive opportunities that qualify as replacements in a 1031 exchange.My 2 cents is that this property is on the tipping point for the cascade of major expenses.
