I have a SFR that is in Cascade township (4/3, 2500+ sq ft), in dated but decent condition that from comps is worth around 270k. 

Try stopping by some of the local lumber yards ( Parr, Dunn, Matheus, Boise Cascade, etc...) and ask for people they recommend. 

I am new to bigger pockets and am working in the Cascade Locks to The Dalles area.

On the west of the Cascades expect a lot of rain compared to what you might see in TX.

You may not need a lot of money if you go the FHA route. once you generate the cash flow, it will be a cascading effect.

Any area in Atlanta(especially inner city areas like the West End, Bankhead, Cascade) would be a good investment with favorable terms and the correct strategy.

I provided a gift basket which contained the following: (call me crazy) Laundry Basket (new to hold the items and because no washer/dryer in unit but onsite)Small Tide Pods package (to get that starter load going)Cascade Platinum package for dishwasher (probably a years supply cost like $10 at Target)Swiffer new for laminate floors to keep clean ($20?)

The house was on a hillside of sorts and this started a cascade of full WDO reports and maps and all kinds of problems.To get out of this appraisal and make it invalid, we had to wait 6 months. 

I also invested in my wife’s dream and we opened a high-end preschool, which she managed.Things were going great until a series of cascading life challenges fell upon the family.

No way to predict that kind of disaster nor its impact.In Calif, we have exposure to earthquakes, even more than you at the upper end of the Cascades, and frequently have to deal with seismic certifications.
