Well I would reach out the team and Members of COREE, I bet they have some great property managers to recommend https://www.centralohioreia.co...

I  bet most of my SMS are not getting delivered or the owners put my phone number on block. 

That’s the best bet.

YUP I bet at least 1/3 of the population in Oregon is from CA.. 

The option agreement is what gives one the option to buy the home without being obligated to purchasing it3- more involved process than simply signing a lease or a purchase agreementIf your main objective is to prevent breaking a lease, finding a property with "month to month" leasing may be your best bet. 

Your choice whatever works best for you, thanks!

so a PRIVATE person had better be giving me much better terms....or I'm just going with Hard Money.I usually provide a choice to my private lenders - I'll give you 6% with payments or 8% with no payments. 

I would say anything near Great Barrington is a good bet.

@Gunes KoYour best bet is to discuss your situation with a couple lenders(conventional lenders and non-conventional lenders).You likely won't be able to get a conventional loan without another source of income.

Once you've renovated it the HELOC is a great choice, my mortgages are also owner-occupied, so it usually makes sense to keep that mortgage in place and use a HELOC to access the equity.
