Alternatively, I could hope that my next assignment will be in a better market with more options, maybe lower rates, and more cash on hand.Should I accept that no market is perfect and get in the game now, or hold out for a year to enter a potentially better market with more capital to invest?

I've had decent success with showmojo. the ability to have tenants screen and schedule themselves is pretty helpful.

I really do try my best to be an awesome landlord, but it’s starting to not feel worth the time and energy.The house is at a 2% fixed rate so it’s hard to consider selling (at least right now), and getting the tenants out of the house would cost at least $5k per the Portland laws.

With no experience you may have a bigger interest rate but if you have good margins on the hose, you should be OK.

Here are the #s:Asking $129,0002 bed 1 bath 718sqftEverything has been updated15% Down - 9.5% Interest rate - 30 yrs amortization, no ballon Rents around $1000 - 5% Vacancy - $700 Taxes yr - $741 Insurance yr - 10% Property Management - 1.5% of rent for Maintenance and 5% of rent for capital expenditures.

Perhaps someone with more knowledge on the neighborhood rental rates can chime in.

Rates on DSCR are nearly the same as a conventional investment property loan.

My current APR is 7.15% I'm pushing towards the HELOC because lower cost on closing costs and refi interest rates are the same as my current loan right now. 

Please elaborate on why each is essential and how they contribute to a company's overall performance and reliability.Similarly, provide a list of red flags or negative traits that indicate a subpar or potentially problematic property management company, with explanations on how these might negatively impact my real estate operations.Create a scoring or rating system that I can use to objectively evaluate and compare each property management company based on the traits and skills identified earlier.
