YOU work in Vancouver or WA and you pay NO state income tax.. your partner has some hiccup on the drive but its only about a 3 mile traffic jam then your off the freeway on surface streets to Portland State... and there is a huge water front deal going on in Vancouver.. it could be a real good play .. but something to check out.living down south like Newberg or anything like that is a non starter unless you want to drive an hour each way.but I have two duplex's that I can send your way they are both in Beaverton and are off market I would let you look at those before we list them and deal with multiple offers etc. in the process of rehabbing them now.good luck with your search.. if you can handle the weather here it can be a nice place to live like its been raining for 2 straight days.. many of us Californians really get sick of it and want to go back home LOL..

The fridge takes all the way up to the back countertops when put on that side alongside a pantry...leaving hidden countertop space. 

I work alongside Juan Pablo w/ 100 Percent Financed My main focus is providing business credit funding to veteran and aspiring entrepreneurs.

We are experiencing a hiccup in our search.

Any advice on how to get around that hiccup? 

I have noticed the same with triplexes (not a bad thing, I know) but I would prefer to pay my mortgage down along side others that would love to help me pay it down by occupying the space itself.Should anyone have advice on a way to get my foot in the door regarding duplexes, please let me know.  

I'm not over here crying in my beer, this was purely just a small hiccup in the overall journey. 

On paper (based on your brief description), I would say you have a good deal but I would dig deeper in to the rent roll. sqft is someone limited for a 4plex alongside those rents that you mentioned.

I look forward to learning from you all and working along side of you. 

If that location does not appreciate at all there is not much left to help buffer performance on a single family.The numbers have to work obviously but there are many more fundamentals to take into consideration along side "seller generated proforma caps".Total returns should factor equity gains.
