Due to the site constraints etc, we couldn't just slide the building over 10', so it needed redesign to stack the units and also increase the height limit which we were already higher than.

If it takes you a year plus to get permitting and build vs a renovation in a few months then in the course of a year you would potentially let 6 months or more cashflow slide.

A smooth glass cook top is just much easier to clean and open flames are always a concern.

As we work to smooth out those cons, we are optimistic about additional out of state investments, as buying for cash flow in the PDX area isn't very likely right now. 

You also want a keyway into the soil under the footer to keep the whole wall from sliding.

You might need a floor sander or something similar to grind away at the softened adhesive if you want a very smooth surface.

A lenders goal should be to make this as smooth of a transaction for you as possible.

It seems you are managing this property for a while and you are well trained by now for it to run smoothly.

The market kind of seems like a sliding scale of cashflow/appreciation and how much crap you're willing to put up with haha

Typically 1% up to $10M then it’s a sliding scale.
