Can I sell some of my stock held long-term for 3 yrs at etrade to further offset the gains?

I've done Crypto, stocks, businesses, ecommerce, trading bots, ponzi schemes etc. 

If so, offer that price and if they doesn't like it let them be someone else's problem.

Not sure I can offer any help, but if you need advice or direction, I'm happy to help if I can.

I offered to buy the property from the $28B foreign company which kept them from having to tear down the buildings to mitigate the vagrant problem and also from their obligation to pay the rail road for the long term lease.

Local banks typically offer lower interest rates but might require a solid track record and detailed financials.

Sometimes when placing an offer --  the POS is not yet available - and when you place an offer you can make your offer contingent upon approval of these items... although in order to have a competitive offer in this seller's market you are basically forced to "assume" the pos violations once they become available (usually 2-3 weeks after it's been ordered) -- you should be able to tell if anything more serious might come up on the POS via your own personal inspection. 

They don't all offer the same servicers (default management, document services, tracking of taxes and insurance, escrows, etc.), but I am with you that communication and competency are key.

Keep in mind local zoning laws and market conditions in Portland versus Salem—Portland might offer higher rents but stricter regulations, while Salem could provide better cash flow opportunities.Your design approach has proven successful, so continue focusing on appealing upgrades like kitchens and bathrooms, but prioritize cost-effective and durable materials for rentals.

I’d recommend starting by researching markets that align with your strategy, especially areas that offer good cash flow.
