Quote from @Rian Madden: 'Sell the Portland property and invest in another state that doesn't hate landlords.Beyond that, it's hard to give advice without knowing specifically what you are trying to accomplish.

I’m not exactly sure what was accomplished.  

Besides that a good investor agent will come with some built in negotiating tactics on your behalf.For example:  A well known and accomplished agent will be known to work with solid buyers who are capable of closing deals.  

@Mike Grudzien well, they didn't accomplish it the first time but I do think they can make it work if they hit the nail on the head with their 5 points.

I'm looking to do what you have accomplished - get my first duplex and house hack it.

Its a popular product and can accomplish your goals.

Figure out your future goals of what you want to do and work backward to find a strategy that helps you accomplish that goal.

I think happiness is overrated, being content is much more important and feeling accomplished.

@Elias Azo, I suppose I'm a biased real estate agent, so take everything I say with a grain of salt; however, I would highly encourage you to pursue/accomplish your first house hack during Q4 or by the end of this year.

There are handful of crowdfunding lending companies emerged lately.They all seem to share a need to be an accredited investor to start investing.In order for an individual to qualify as an accredited investor, he or she must accomplish at least one of the following:1) earn an individual income of more than $200,000 per year, or a joint income of $300,000, in each of the last two years and expect to reasonably maintain the same level of income.2) have a net worth exceeding $1 million, either individually or jointly with his or her spouse.3) be a general partner, executive officer, director or a related combination thereof for the issuer of a security being offered.How strict is the accreditation requirement is being followed?
