Reliance on a team a flight away wasn't for me as I was getting started, I am considering bending that approach. 

However, your unfortunate ultra conservative approach may work, but it won't work for all.

As a wholesaler, a seller approached me with a 48 unit apartment complex, 7 duplexes and a 2500 sqft Single family that he wants to sell (all of which occupy the same block.) 

I would J/V but not sure who I should approach on that.

It’s reassuring to know there’s a supportive community of experienced investors willing to share their hard-earned lessons.I’ve taken a ton of notes and feel much more prepared to move forward with a smarter, more intentional approach.

A better approach is to network with other experienced passive investors and review the offering together. 

As far as sheriff sales most people have probaby been approached by every investor in the county possibly the country.

Also, you are totally right, I will approach this one rental at a time to both improve my skills and check is this is for me.

Sold on 11/22/2024 for $110,000, this project highlights our strategic approach to revitalizing homes and delivering exceptional returns for our partners.

I totally get where you're coming from—finding deals that pencil here in the Portland/Beaverton area is tough, especially with the high cost of living and interest rates.One approach that’s been working for some investors locally is exploring opportunities with mid-term rentals (MTRs) or hybrid MTR/STR setups.
