Currently I am attracted to SW Portland including Lake Oswego and West Linn.Very interested to know stats such as cap rates and more for different Portland areas.Would be also interested to discuss with local investors and hopefully get into strategic partnership. 

I bring over 20 years of interior design and remodeling experience to the table and am in the process of strategizing my target market, working on business logo and marketing tools, analyzing properties, building my team and determining my business goals for scaling, funding etc.  

Their strategic plan is to take down the BP Empire, then move on to taking down the property brothers and other HGTV stars.

And in each situation, these pockets have to be approached on a case by case basis and so the investor has to formulate a unique plan of attack that is part common sense and part what the target area is "saying" to the investor.

@Dan Mackin I haven't finished the flip yet (just purchased it actually) but I'm trying to formulate an exit strategy early on.

I have updated my resume, and it shows that although I don't have a college degree finished, I believe I have developed human capital more than other 24/25 year olds coming out of college, even have done successful strategic partnerships as a manager of one of the properties. 

Thanks @John Mathewson This year I am looking to grow rapidly and have a strategic plan of growth that I am following.

Not sure if I'm using the correct strategical term, but I planned to "house hack" a duplex for my first investment property using a 203k loan.

Worst case scenario, you can get eyes on it and formulate a game plan, possibly a band-aid until the HOA gets their act together. 

Do your numbers and get bids and see if your comfort zone seems stressful than you strategize again until it makes sense and you can envision this project a success.
