Portland metro average age is 35.. so you have hipsters and millennia's controlling the state politics so its very liberal here. 

Im super impressed to hear you are already looking to real estate at a young age.

In the mean time I'll be soaking up as much knowledge as i can here on the forums and through the podcasts and webinars to supplement what I read.As far as my experience with real-estate goes I got my license 3 years ago, at the tender age of 22.

One of them was the office and the other one was in decent shape, given its age. 

I wish I was interested in REI at the age of 19.

Wish I'd thought about doing this when I was your age.

You definitely want a bigger property manager with experience with apartments because there are some different issues such as boilers, parking, fire safety.You should get a lower %age rate for them managing a lot of units in one location.

@Susan Perry   everyone has a personal opinion on debt.. and if you don't like debt don't go into debt.. especially as we age... and it depends on how much cash you have, I have to assume your not spending your last liquid cent on this place.. people that are much younger or starting out and want to build empires they need debt no two ways about it.I had two very wealthy partners last decade  1. old school ( owned a bunch of garbage companies and recycle centers.) and he had zero debt.. and it was funny listening to people try to rationalize why he should take on debt.2.

About how from the age of 10, his hunting and fishing was important to keeping his family fed.  

It's always fantastic to have a goal in mind at a young age and good to hear that you've chosen to do real estate.
