In addition to Turbo Tenant, I would suggest that you have a local Realtor list it for rent. 

Additionally there is always a healthy nouveau rich following that attempts to mirror their predecessors achievements.

As you grow your portfolio, they can help you secure additional funding, refinance existing loans, and adapt to changing market conditions.Financing doesn’t have to be a roadblock to your real estate dreams.

Your best option may be to increase the rent to cover the additional expense.

Additionally, you can still find deals that will cash flow and hit the 1% rule and amazing appreciation potential. 

Additionally, some states hold Escrow and Title services differently. 

If they have money and can compete on pricing, brokers will be the best bet.  

Making additional payments or taking a shorter term are just depositing more into that savings account (it's not like the property appreciates more by paying down the loan). 

Additionally, the fact you might be negative cash flow in Texas will give you more flexibility by renting in Portland.  

I’d appreciate any additional suggestions you might have!
