Would like to partner with seasoned investors

I understand in the Portland area there are relocation fees in Portland.

I’m new to BP but I am not totally new to RE (went through a lot of online videos on real-estate, read Rich Dad Poor Dad, practiced with calculating properties to see whether they cash-flow or not).So, my main question is that my mom will be able to have some capital to invest into the market in about 3-5 months ($50-60k).

I’ve seen two practically identical homes in two different parks just a mile apart vary in price by 75%.Depreciation is exactly what makes mobiles a great buy in some situations.

(i remodeled it and stayed about 2months)I had a bit of relocation from work, so it is a inconvenience for me to stay in long beach now,(traffic).My goal now is to rent it out now.My question is, can i rent it out since i got a conventional loan owner occupied?

I'm not actually interested in this one due to the area, but I'm just trying to practice playing with the numbers to see if my line of thinking is correct.Home is foreclosed.

It's my first, so what is the usual practice?  

I've been reading and thinking about it for years (procrastinating) and am now taking the plunge to take some action.I'd like to do my first deal in the next 6 months.I still have a lot to learn, especially on the practical side and look forward to all the good advice I will be able to find here.I've been a project manager in software for close to 15 years now.

As a result I found that it really pulled me down and gave me a lot of anxiety, to the point that I procrastinated listening to massages over the past month (not a good business practice).

There are also certain markets/neighborhoods, where property values are severely depressed, that you may want to go with a lower % as a general practice.
