I'm currently weighing purchasing in PDX for the appreciation versus accumulating lower cost rental houses via a service like Roofstock, and then prioritizing PDX after building some passive cash flow.Curious on others perspective about investing in the PDX multi-family market. 

With short study/research, I was actually leaning toward a class C neighborhood but your suggestion is changing my perspective... probably I should forget about cash flow and look at some quality neighborhood because I have ZERO experience with tenants and I do not want to get exhausted by a lot of hassles with tenants in the class C neighborhood..  

I was probably still looking at this from the perspective of what is convenient for me, and wasn't considering the cost or impact to the contractor's business.  

With low skin in the game, and a low out of pocket monthly cost it still pays to look at it from the perspective of having your unit fully rented once you move out and hold onto the property.

Any other market option will be appreciated.I want to get some perspectives and advises from those who have experience investing in either out of state multifamily properties under a LLC umbrella or just RE investment overall experience:1. what are some of the possible pitfalls of investing as a team under a LLC?

That's a 55% revenue increase (I dont expect that to hold true for every month, but I think a 20-30% bump is entirely possible with high-touch management from what I've seen)My findings/ perspective:1) Cabins are still a good investment but you need a good broker to find you the right deal (I recommend Avery as shes sharp, attentive, thinks like an investor, and has a good network of local contacts which is critical). 

From a tax perspective, for divorce settlements finalized after December 31, 2018, alimony is no longer deductible (as an adjustment) to the payer nor taxable to the payee.
