I was wondering what websites, blogs or periodicals you read to learn about what markets to invest in or about the state of Real Estate in general, or specific markets?

What the specific amount of income you want to create (monthly cash flow or annual amount)?

As I interview with different brokerages as a potential new Broker / Real Estate Agent, are there any specifics I should keep an eye out for, or demand from, my future brokerage? 

It could already be  legal 3 flat but if you need to request a zoning change its not just sending in a letter.PM me some specific details and I can help you figure out your situation.

Lastly include a monthly expense to save a fund for future CapEx preferably specifically for the items that need replaced and taking into account their age.

I am a new investor and I am very close to taking out a loan for about 15 K to get things started investing specifically for probate transactions. 

Cost is normally low for a low number of units, and they often include other perks like fee tenant screening or light legal advice.Bigger Pockets also sells forms for many states.Make sure you get something specific for your state/area. 

Let me know what you specifically need in a title company. 

And in Portland specifically?
