If I were to keep it, what are some key recommended improvements I could make to add value?

Compare that to Tierrasanta, where market values hover around $3.01 million for a similar project, and it’s clear that location is key to making SB-9 projects profitable.Agents, this is where you can shine.

 try one of those online sources like prosper etc. 

Rental income will still be taxed as Oregon source income, and you will also report it on your California individual tax return as part of your worldwide income.

However, seeing as though I have already sourced the deal myself, would it still be in my best interest to use a realtor for this transaction if it works out? 

There are a couple opportunities thats on MLS currently, and I am crunching through my math and it seems to work out well (positive cash flow, decent cap rate).Some key assumptions I hope still holds true today:  low vacancy rate in general. ~1000-1200/month for a room in a single family house / duplex. 

The key will be to set up terms so your monthly payment works.

I currently work with investors in a few markets in TX and outside of TX on creating a turn-key portfolio and helping them manage on the back end. 

If it’s an older property or has deferred maintenance, you might want to lean toward the higher end.When it comes to CapEx (capital expenditures), planning for major replacements like roofs, HVAC systems, and appliances is key.

Staying flexible and partnering with a skilled property manager or agent would be key to achieving long-term success.Good luck!
