Therefore, I get bored and spend a lot of time on sites like BP trying to expand my real estate investing knowledge!

Eugene and Bend have great AirBNB market potential but I worry about cleaning/turnover services being reliable and they are too far for me to drive to on a whim.

Hello and welcome to this site and asking a pretty good question Christian! 

When I look at the county assessor site this property was last appraised in 2013.  

My mistake was sending them a LOI too soon through an online site without first getting on the ground and inspecting the property.

HiFirst of all thanks for everyone - this is a great site with good people helping each other and sharing experiences.  

The flame pattern on the burners had a significant amount of orange flame, indicating the burners could need to be cleaned or may not be properly combusting, and 3.

I believe @Brandon Turner illustrated this technique in one of his books, and others on the site have elaborated on it in blogs.

And you asked for some recommendations around the site.

One of the biggest problems I see for beginners on this site is they read about some story about a guy buying some property in the middle of nowhere for 70% of what it was worth and think they'll be able to go into a super hot seller's market like those found in California or Arizona and get the same deal.
