The Media here in Portland is just now picking up on how terrible govmit handled all this homeless and Peaceful protesting.. 180 degrees from the media backing defund the police last year. 

Picking a lender/agent/property manager can be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Its not like there is a plethora of places for them to pick from to live with inventory so low. 

Sometimes it can be well worth your while to pay an experienced professional and then shadow them while they perform the work so you can pick up on their knowledge.

I have bad experience with PMs where tenant broke multiple leases in a year and I had to fight to get concessions on the leasing fee with my PM (I have couple fantastic PMs as well so its a mixed bag).I do plan to do my own diligence in picking up the tenant.

There's no wrong way, just pick a direction and go!

I suggest picking a couple zip codes, know type of property you want (i.e 3bed/2bath larger than 1,000 square feet at or below a predetermined dollar amount), and become an expert in these neighborhoods will put you around more potential deals in order to find your perfect BRRRR.   

We had an old trailer 1990 model that we picked up for $1500 & we put it on our 5 acres with the farm/multi unit bldg.

Pick up the BP BRRRR book!

I usually pick out which ones I'm interested.I gave one agent 1-4 homes to look into and not really feeling good about his responsiveness.
