You can be that buyer that is willing to take on this project provided you are able to negotiate down the price accordingly.

I would still say 17k total is high, if you want some other companies to call, DM me would be happy to provide some to shop the quote

I'd also recommend checking out Investor Lab – their events are worthwhile, though there is a fee.Besides REIAs, look into:Meetup.com: Many local real estate groups host events here.Landlord Associations: They provide excellent resources for both Portland and state-level, which could be helpful if you decide to self-manage your home in Salem.Best of luck on your real estate journey, and feel free to reach out if you need any advice!

So Zillow can provide info like job growth, population growth, demographics (ie. median age, etc)?

CASH FLOW in RD is excellent they provide great cap rates.
