Any specific workshops, courses/masterminds, or maybe finding someone that's willing to let me shadow them? 

Finance your first duplex or triplex through FHA Loan, Conventional Loan, Owner-Occupied Financing, and Portland-specific programs.

The best strategies will be tailored to your specific situation. 

the market is unforgiving right now, and if you buy a random property by looking on Zillow and turn it over to people you don't know to manage, you'll lose money.with respect to your specific question, if the property is safe, clean, and priced correctly, it will rent. but that doesn't mean you'll make money on it. 

Without more details about your specific goals and experience, it's tough to give real tailored advice.

Specifically in Ca?

As for demand - you’ll need to research that carefully on your own, don’t take one or two people’s word if anyone even comments on that specifically.

hey tim, i should have been more clear. i will be doing all of the property management per se, just looking for an organizational tool via an app or software that will consolidate the communication for my duties. i only have one out of state property and just dont think the amount paid is worth the relatively low stress of this specific quality property and tenant pool. i will look into stessa and buildium- thank you for the recs!

Is there some specific point you wanted to dig into further?
