Buy good properties in good neighborhoods and after 3-5 years of rent growth you will hit 1% I get as many as I want with 2% rule fully renovated properly, 

This is proper planning and so smart to get educated way in advance of the first guy so you are totally on the right track.

Make sure you're familiar with all the terms, and maybe have a trusted attorney give it a once-over to ensure everything lines up with Oregon's latest landlord-tenant laws.

Ensure that you issue the necessary notices and keep thorough records of everything!

Best to do this properly and ignore the people who say not to advertise this. 

Conduct a title search and HELOC to ensure clear title transfer.

Without proper permits, there’s a chance the city may request you to revert any non-compliant additions (like the extra bathroom) to align with code standards.When it comes to refinancing, banks tend to look closely at the property’s legal compliance.

BP is so large now, unfortunately, there are a lot of "professionals" advertising their services here but don't know the REI industry.So, to protect yourself in the future, I'd ensure at least a few other REIs have worked with the professional you choose to hire and have received enough value from them to refer their services.You can always ask the professional for references as well and they should have no problem providing a few if they are good at what they do.Just my 2 cents.
