Hi - Do you have a great realtor, property manager or contractor in Rogue River? Can you please share their info?Thanks!Erik 

@Chaim KernkrautUnless you are a real estate investor with more than 10 years of experience, a team of contractors, legal aides and RE agents who have done deals with you for the same amount of years, I would suggest you take a weekend trip to see the property at least once.

Make good connections with other people who are interested in the same things and invest together as a team.

Providing you've a good team around you (knowledgeable/reliable/fair Contractor/s and Property Manager/s) and your analysis skills are bada bing, bada boom, then even the "Headache and Uncalculated rehab cost" won't ensue.

Could you or your team somehow unknowingly be spreading more resistant species?

In addition to market sense and people skills, REI also requires knowing what information is needed to determine feasibility, of acquisition, deal structuring, how and if to partner, building the right Power Team that wants to see you succeed and is not only in it because the/ she sees dollar signs.

You'll have to build a strong team that will allow you to own remote. 

I think you can, with some work, overcome the objections that you'll face with lenders by coming to them with an established property management company, and other team members already in your corner.This week I'm flying to a Mid-West market to meet with multifamily brokers and lenders, but I've already lined up two management companies that I like, and I have a 15 pg business plan for how I will approach the market and my criteria.And....I already own multifamily, but in Texas, not this market.

My team and I are looking for an economical fix w/o replacing the whole column.

I know many make it sound easy and you need little to no money etc etc.. but that simply is not the case. 1. get your license and work on a team.. tutor under a top performing agent you will get paid as a member of the team no have to work for free for someone who will just cut you lose if you bring no value to them.2.
