@Mark Taleon, first off get a local lawyer who specializes in real estate!

I'm sure it can be done, but you will definitely have to hire from the local talent pool which is awfully shallow. 

Success requires thorough screening, clear boundaries, budgeting, networking, and staying informed about local rental laws, and market trends.Good luck!

There are small local banks that will offer loan products for such properties, you would have to call around and see (small banks with about 5-10 branches often work best in my experience). 

This might involve updating certain aspects of the property to meet modern standards.Permit Acquisition: Obtain all necessary permits from the city, which may include demolition permits, building permits, electrical permits, and plumbing permits.Restoration Process:Debris Removal: Clear out all debris and damaged materials from the property.

IF No comparable sales meet your value, no loan available as is over 100% loan to value financing.

They can pinpoint the issue and get your garage back in action fast.I found a local guy in Portland who seems legit: https://portlanddoorsandlocksguy.com/.

Excited to meet awesome people who want to do great deals!

Any other local industries with short term employment?

I would greatly appreciate any advice and insights to better understand the local market and connect with real estate investors specialized in rental properties.I look forward to engaging in meaningful discussions, exchanging ideas, and build valuable relationships with other members.
