@Amean Galindo, @Miller McSwain, @Jeremy Wirths thank you all again for the thoughts and help.I do have one other question (well there are a lot of questions) but 1 more on this piece. 

Biggest piece of advice when you're getting started is to participate in local networking groups.

Hey @Whitney HuttenI plan to take care of the renovation cost out of pocket, so the only financing piece the seller will take on will be the property's purchase price.

I don't know the metrics of good/bad flips, but gotta think outside of nuisance value or triggering 40 1031s with different time windows, the seller'd get more out of piece-mealing them.If I had $8M, I think i'd get better bang on a larger MF project OUTSIDE OF PORTLAND PROPER.  

@Joshua D baker with everything going on I’d keep the paid off ones as piece of mind.

I inherited a piece of real estate.

They just rent out both rooms down there, getting $800 a piece.

You could search for those, download them, and then piece together your own contract.

Our cost: $260/moChannel Management via Uplisting - as we promote our listings across multiple channels (Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com), we use Uplisting to manage all of the calendars and pricing.

The management piece can also be counter intuitive on these properties, and interests do not always align.
