The hotels have vacancies, I check them out every day. 

I’m an agent in Portland focused on working with investors and in my observation 2-4 unit properties on the MLS are almost always overpriced on a cap rate basis.

Your gain is the difference between the adjusted cost basis (purchase price-depreciation recap+capital improvements) and the net sales price. 

@Scott Passman definitely call the city everyday to complain about the house across the street infringing upon your "quiet enjoyment"

That mean on average about 12 people are moving to Bend every day making it one of the most popular cities to move to in the US.After reading Long-Distance Real Estate Investing by "David Greene," I have realized that investing in Bend-Redmond might be a great move.The unaffordability in most places of California is pushing more people to expand up to Oregon and East to places like Las Vegas which has also seen a significant increase in population growth. 

Like the folks above said, it's really hard to ballpark pricing for what needs to be deleaded because it really is on a house by house basis. 

I'm still way off on determining the difference right now unless I focus on more recent build years though.I've only been playing with Machine Learning for the last 6 months or so, and it's really not an 'every day' thing to try to learn something new with it. 5-6 hours a week?

I get his automated emails showing new listings every day and review those every day. 

And there's no federal mechanism pressuring states to do something specific, like how if a state's drinking age is below 21 then that state will lose federal highway dollars (fun fact: there is ALSO no federal minimum drinking age applicable outside of federally controlled land, just some highway money that forced all the states to "voluntarily" set it at 21 on an individual basis, I believe Texas was the last holdout, possibly due to oil money). 

I’ll be reminding myself of these on a regular basis!
