I've helped manage 100s of estimates for residential contractors, producing nearly 100 myself.Disclaimers: I'm not currently a contractor, nor appraiser, nor licensed.

Another thing I'd highly recommend is talking to property managers on BP to get some feedback-- it's probably very rewarding and can produce income without many starting costs, but it does come with headaches.By thinking about your next steps, you're already on the right track.

I do not have large reserve of capital although do produce enough through my current properties to Fund 200k of repairs over next 2 yrs. 

So it is safe to say, the business has to pay for 100% of it's operations, from about 7% of it's intake potential client's. 93% are JUST an expense with NO revenue produced. 

Many times experience of the buyer, credit history and reserves in addition to what income the property can produce will factor in how the lender will structure the loan. 

It can move like molasses too, so your asset may take time to sell if you choose to exit.All this said, and I don't have a single income producing residential property at the moment....something I'm working to rectify.

We've noticed a very strong increase in out of state investor interest in Oregon motivated by Oregon 1031X Exchange transactions and wanted to share some insight into alternative income producing asset classes that are common, attainable and available in Oregon. 

Just attach that to the highest income producing property?

Thank you, RTR, for providing excellent and valuable services from start to finish, making it easy for out-of-state investors to own income-producing rental properties.”You can't go around and tell me it's the best time to buy right now, it depends on your intention with it.

These are multi family hubs that can produce good cashflow, but might not appreciate the same way as Burlington.
