The effort usually put in to trying to sue others is usually better served trying to find better ways to succeed for yourself.I hope that does not come off too harsh, as I honestly feel your pain. 99% of the folks in the investment world are feeling pain, so that makes it difficult to find very many professional investors who are receptive to others crying on their shoulder.

So many investors raise money for their projects and by doing this you are allowed to look over their shoulder.

There are possibly folks in BP who if you reach out to and maybe pay them an agreed reasonable amount,they will remotely guide you/look over your shoulder thru every step of your first flip or rental etc .

I mean, I have to pay the employees for the whole day, why should i shoulder it.

I can educate and talk about what to do but the one that a good head on his shoulders also takes loss hard. 

My guess is the larger investors who can shoulder increased risk will be the ones who benefit most. basically rents have peaked in most of Oregon and this law now allows for 7% yearly increase plus CPI  so to me its Moot. were I would want to understand this though is how you deal with value add plays or the "Hey buy this place rents are way undermarket"Also keep in mind in the city of portland they passed a law that any MF larger than 20 units must have affordable housing units.

Others will never pay the landlords back who will have to shoulder the costs.

If I was in charge of building KC's new CityPlace development and chose you as the GC and you used your subs to do the work, do you really think my standing over your shoulder and good communication would coax you through that process?  

., but sometimes it’s hard to get past the imaginary little person on my shoulder saying, “Are you really going through all this and buying out-of-state rental properties for a measly $125/$200 per month?”

If you  step up to the plate and take over this project then they might be happy to let you do so, but you might want to put things on their shoulders going forward.
