I am currently working seasonal, temporary jobs, which makes it impossible for me to receive a loan.

not sure how that plays in .My landlock situation was quite complicated.. and Chicago missed it.. they have been 2 years battling to get it done for me.. we had a neighbor and a state owned trail to cross. turns out the state owned trail there is NO way to force that in Oregon.. but the buyer for the property is the local metro open space. so the state kind of rolled over .. but they did not have to.. then we had the neighbor that we had to sue.. 

Its 2018; I can have Siri do the work for me in under 20 seconds, saving me time and bandwith.

Are there any options for me?

It's a great way for me to learn and eventually make some extra cash on the side doing something fun.Is photography your main business?

I can tell you that even the off market stuff is getting harder to find, but that’s where the deals seem to be for me. 

Meaning I can take the appreciation out in the form of a HELCO and then invest it in cash flowing properties else where. 

I call them "get up to speed" costs.Break-even purchase price vs loan costs including PM, vac, and cap rate work out (for me) @ $240K with 25% down, @ $225k with 20% down, @ $210k with 15% down.If I consider $5k for get up to speed costs (and that the roof is good), that still means I break even in 2 years +/-. 

form my perspective performance cash bonus's do not give any equity in the company to minor partners this rarely ends good..

I have a virtual assistant who updates a Google Sheet for me for every property.
