Strongly objecting to pictures?

Some of my friends have also expressed interest in this objective.

Identified family’s objections and issues and tried to overcome every one of them using myself to sacrifice time, etc for a solution…to be shut down.

If not, and you are stuck proceeding despite this discovery I would get multiple quotes from reputable abatement specialists in your area. 

So I’m guessing that you work for free as well and you volunteer to do all the work for your customers for free too...The places I have received all of my training from have all been highly regarded real estate investment businesses that are world renowned and when you are asking the experts to teach you what they know or how to do something you bet your you know what you are going to pay for it, and as far as the software goes you are full of it, because as a former IT Specialist I can tell you emphatically that no business out there that has a program worthy of any real chance at being an effective product that the mass consumer will be will to use continually in a given field would ever just give their software away constantly because if they did they would be bankrupt in less than their first year.And finally, I know the laws and rules on marketing and such, because believe it or not those worthless companies made sure they added those important notes within their training, such as we can’t even advertise in CA, AZ, ID, ND, NC, NJ, and NY because those are the states that require the broker “license” you mentioned.

And people want to act like this is sustainable.)But because real estate is not a liquid market, true price discovery is hampered, resulting in undervalued/overvalued assets in every market.Each deal is it’s own situation, so even if a “market” is overheated, you may find an objectively great deal, one that would make sense even in a recession. 

I'd speak with a specialist.

I'm a cyber security specialist (i.e. still an employee) looking to transition into real estate.

As long as your end objectives are met, it really doesn't matter what loan product you chose or use. 

The goals you have influence your decisions and they determine, largely the metrics you choose to use to guide your decisions.Briefly - it's a seller's market here right now - virtually every SFH I've either sold or bought has been a multiple offer situation in the past 10 weeks - inventory is historically low and rates are low and prices are projected to continue to rise over the next year at least in the SFH sector so selling right now - all things being equal would be relatively easy which could stabilise a 1031 situation - however if you plan to buy in a tight market ( Oregon) that would compromise the original impetus to increase cash-flow.It is entirely possible to manage a small remote rental yourself if you have support locally and want to maximise cash-flow - 10% of $2150 = $215 + $120-170 extra from refinancing if you do not extract any equity = $335 - $385 extra revenue per month if you harness the PM fee and the reduced mortgage payment.If your objective is to grow your portfolio then you might want to leverage the hot SFH market here and sell - maximise your selling price ( good Realtor and good target market asset positioning) and invest in a below market Triplex that you can force appreciate and set yourself up to pull the equity in a refinance event later down the line, collect good cash throw off and leverage the asset to speed up your portfolio growth...plus owning a MF builds your lender credentials more than a SFH if you want to scale up in the future.I always have my clients clarify what their primary goals are with their investment portfolio - it matters and it really helps you to get clear so you can recognise what a good opportunity is for you.
