When I meet brokers or owners that hand me their pro-forma numbers and they don't include property management, I immediately think that they are either: (1) dishonest; (2) careless; or (3) plain stupid. 

So with no problems, complications, miscalculations, or plain bad luck, you cleared $18,000 in 10 months.  

Either you pay or you do it, it's plain and simple.

Plain and simple.

Sometimes they just plain abandon the property after exhausting every possible illegal tactic to make money out of it.4.

I would avoid anything higher end, higher tech (more to break) or front load unless I was in a very high end/luxury rental market (where a plain white durable top load would look out of place) or if I thought I might sell soon and then the aesthetics of a new matching appliances (front loads can look snazzy paired) might appeal to buyers.

Hi Emily,300K is about market price for duplexes of that size and style near the 4th Plain corridor, of which I'd include Rose Village.

A penchant for plain, direct communication has been a huge asset for me in this business. 

I’m also more inclined towards Tigard, Tualatin, Wilsonville than I am Beaverton, Aloha, Hillsboro, North Plains.

I felt zero pity for the tenants . the characters were just plain pathetic including the Nefarious slumlords who were supposed To represent a typical landlord .
