@Paul HigbieIn your experience, in the beginning, is it more advantageous from an llc perspective or individual on lending?

You make a contact, exchange phone numbers.While I agree that there are all sorts of things about landlording one might not want to discuss online and would prefer to talk about in a private meeting, there's much less opportunity to go through so much of the stuff you have to know in order to be seasoned enough to know what to do when the next burst of crazy comes out of your rentals and consider vastly different perspectives on LLing (by the way, whatever happened to no-mercy-no-pity-pound-of-flesh-Thomas S.?).

I have to move my perspective from wanting to borrow money to giving people and opportunity to earn a great return backed by real estate.  

With a 3+plex it should stand  on its own from cash perspective even if you’re down a tenant.

I think I have a pretty good idea of what to do buuuut outside perspectives is always helpful.   

Does it matter from legal perspective?

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.
