For property selection, choosing a duplex or triplex in a good neighborhood can provide steady cash flow, while adding an ADU to a single-family home works well in areas with high rental demand like Portland.

I know I can't have it all but looking for a stable appreciating with some cash flow and a turnkey SFH.

Possibly some questions to ask yourself: How much higher is the cash flow in Akron?

This way, your current rental stays a cash-flowing asset while providing leverage to grow your portfolio.

@Kenneth Joseph PerfidoFrom my experience, you’re in a great position with your Newport property, strong cash flow, and a low 2.8% interest rate.

Sadly, it seems that cash flow on long term rentals with 20% down just does not exist in most desirable locations.

Even though there is low inventory, interest rates are high, and many properties don't cash flow, look harder there are always deals, you just need to find/make them.

Small multi-family properties starting at over $1M, which is pretty expensive and, resale single family (before year 2000) offer minimal cash flow (~$200-300/month).2.

The reason is the rent-to-price ratio is good so you can cash flow, and most of the West side doesn’t have a Point of sale inspection which is really annoying.

You can use zillow for this or yor agent.You want to go for Max cash flow which means you have to figure out its current rents per door and if you can raise those based on current condition or if will need updates/repairs.
