New to all of this and I am looking in to buying a duplex in the Portland area as my first rental property.

I would be very careful of leveraging too much if you don't have enough capital.

To supplement my down payment, I have secured $50k via gift and inheritance.

Hello BP community:I am under contract on some land that I am considering building multifamily on.It appears I can build approximately 80 units on the land (based on permitted density), which could be more or less units depending on the exact style of units we would construct (one or two story, etc).

I am local to the area.

Btw, I’m NOT an attorney, BUT I do play one on TV  

I don't think you need modular, and I disagree with the guy below me.

I am trying to learn and understand them. 

I'd love for that to happen, but I have not seen any indications of this development.

I feel there is a need in personal real estate for conversation without constantly being sold on something.
