There are probably several who will handle it from soup to nuts better than a real estate agent or attorney (I only do evictions when there is something weird going on, otherwise I'm too expensive).

The market is nuts here, but just like you said there is always a deal to find.

Keep Portland weird.I grew up in Oregon and it's full of nuts, just like California.

One of the neighbors said " what I saved in commissions  is buying me my new fishing boat " 

If your tenant can afford the total nut on both mortgages why can't he afford a higher rent?

I'm by no means a "big fish", but do have some out of state properties and local rental properties that would require a little more TLC. 

Hi everyoneMy direct marketing campaign so far has been a like fishing with a net - sometimes the deals that are on offer aren't what I'm used to and I could use some help thinking through the numbers on a 6-plex.

Condo is a tough nut.

But you're total gain including depreciation recapture was $60K so you would end up having to pay the tax on all $60K - no benefit to the 1031.The other question you're hinting at is what if you bought a tract of agricultural or hunting/fishing land that you intended to use for productive use (wilderness activities, rental, agricultural, livestock etc etc). 

+1...fish through BP, bet you'll be surprised at how many people from your market post here.
