@David HendrixHaving the right property manager that caters for the particular area and quality of tenant is vital and also worth every penny of the 10% most will charge.Lower end areas would require for collection to be door to door.

Go down on walls about 2 inches so you cover well.Done with ceilings you can border tape so wall paint doesn't overspray with the 12" paper type tape with sticky edge,,Walls next, cut in the edges of ceiling and corners of walls, by hand, then spray, after sprayed have someone go behind you with a roller and with textured walls this will work well, wet the roller with paint first and then you'll hardly have to wet it again..Trim and doors next.If your painting the trim like in a whole house I usually would recommend doing all Ceilings and then the trim next.. especially if it's bare floors.. sand, prep and spray, first remove all door hardware, hinges, and back tape the windows so you first put a layer of tape around the edges of the glass, then you cut plastic and tape the plastic to the tape that's already on the glass. your not taping it to the wood or vinyl edge but basically sealing off the glass.

If the floors were refinished in place, there's a good chance the odor is just in the top layer and didn't bleed through into the subfloors, since polyurethane seals all the cracks and crevices of a wood floor when you put it down in place (another reason why I like finished in place versus prefinished wood flooring).

Fake Camera's - After placing a handful of GOOD ACTIVE security camera's in the vital area's, you could place fake dummy ones that match the real camera's and just install them all over the place.

Pick a LVP with a 12mm layer that is installed via floating method. 

It is more expensive than just buying in your own name and having personal umbrella insurance, but you absolutely have an additional layer of protection than just in your own name. 

Once I got over 20 paid off properties I had my attorney set up some asset protection with multiple layers of protection.

Additionally, with current interest rates, the margin for error is indeed thin, which adds another layer of risk for new investors.You asked if there is an alternative strategy that can help you get started in the Oregon market, and I would suggest looking into turnkey rental properties.

But you sacrifice all the customization of the guts of the home. which is vital to having a solid home for the next say 10 years.  

Please advise..Thank you If you want to make it more complicated but little bit more fun, put that cash into stock brokerage, then after 30 days cash it out to your LLC bank account LOL you can tell the lender oooh I just sold my stock to fund this.One time the conventional lender got so frustrated by tracking my source of fund , it was 4 layers like this.
