I live in the Bay Area and have been focusing on regions outside Yosemite national park to do my research.

I lived there for almost 10 years before moving to NJ.

Most of my clients opt for DSCR loans so I'd be happy to assist.

My goal is to live in this first property for at least 12 months (but realistically a few years) and have a roommate in the second bedroom to help offset the net costs.

Do that every year until you are tired of house hacking, then find a SFH you want to live in. 

If you are looking for funds to make infrastructure improvements you could try the SBA and/or do some research for any State financial assistance. 

Thank you for any advice and help.I currently live in beaverton and am open to pdx metro and salem areas.

It is a great place to live and invest.

If you didn't get an inspection and you plan on living in the property immediately or someone else lives in it immediately, you need your homeowners insurance to accept the condition of the roof.
