I am betting your gonna find a lot more friendly amicable persons than shut doors. 

My suggestion would be to get an investor friendly agent who knows a few local markets and have them guide you in the right direction.

I have no social sphere or contacts family or friends in Oregon (I don’t know anyone besides my fiancée).Goals: continue to have flexible schedule while enjoying what I do (selling real estate) and making good money.

I rented out the additional bedrooms to friends and family, charging them well below market, and sold when it was time for my wife and I to start our own adventures.

In the NE states, AKA tenant friendly states, I would always have a PM to help protect my interests.

I would advise finding an investor friendly realtor when you choose a market.

You won't have the options that you have here in Austin, mainly because Portland is Tenant Friendly City and Pfugetville is Landlord friendly.  

You have received some great recommendations and if you are yet to decide on an Investor friendly to work with, you can send me a DM and see if we are a good fit.I do provide free mentorship and a lot of free resources and connections to anyone I work with especially beginners like you. 

Borrowed money from friends and family to pay cash for the property as the bank would not finance it until it had been remodeled, made livable, and brought up to code.

I am looking for a solid real estate agent and eventually will need a home inspector, possible property manager/etc. in regards to the process.I have a few family friends which I am blessed to have mentored me the past few years in this field and I am determined/diligent to learn and grow.
