Some people will disagree with me on this, but I'd get a professional property manager as soon as possible. It's so difficult to stay on top of landlord-tenant laws. And if you know you're too soft, you'll definitely cost yourself more money than a good property manager. Your time is too valuable to spend it managing property. At 8 or 10% of rents, it's almost a no-brainer.

Welcome to BP, @Tyler Mead. There's a gathering this evening. Check out this post: PDX Meet & Greet

Welcome to BP. There's an event on Tuesday night in Tigard. Here's a link to the post: PDX BiggerPockets Meet & Greet

Welcome to BP! In Portland, check out RareBird. They have a great group and meet on Monday nights. Each week is a different theme. Sometimes, they analyze deals, sometimes they talk about the basics, and sometimes, they have a local expert speak on a topic. You'll meet a lot of good people and learn a lot too.

Good luck!

Great feature. Thanks!

Just to clarify - is the event at noon or 7pm? The top of the post says noon, but the bottom says 7pm.

I've gone through a few property managers, and now I have one I like. I'll PM you the details.

I'll be there.

I've only done one, and I just closed it. But I'm happy to chat about my experience. I used a provider in Chicago area, and they were very good.

I agree that multifamily is a good way to invest in real estate. Are you in a position to house-hack it by buying a small multifamily, live in one unit, and start growing your empire there? If that doesn't work, then turnkey is probably a good option. I just had a good turnkey experience, and I'm happy to PM you if you want the details.
