But there are a few major chokepoints you’ll want to solve before you tie up four properties at once.Here’s how I’d look at it from a lender/investor perspective:1.

The question is, since this lease was reviewed and commented on by a Wisconsin lawyer through Biggerpockets, do we need further attorney review or can we use it as is?

Hi @Kristin Hayles, you could post this in the "Other strategies" topic, I saw a lot of similar questions there, maybe you'll get some ideas looking at other answers to posts in that topic in the BP forum. 

Solves problems instead of avoiding them. 

But then as mentioned they aren’t solving any problems and they can’t tack on a boatload of profit.

Hey JJ, good question.

The response to your question is you're not ready to buy this property.You asked the question what do private lenders typically want to see from a new Investor?

Many of the landlords have resorted to heavy concessions, yet even that hasn’t solved the problem—tenants simply pack up at the end of their lease and move across the street to the next building offering a better deal.

Chapter 11, "Hone Your Skills" section has this practice question: "What is the IRR of an investment that costs $75,000 up front, earns you $22,000 per year for four years, and then generates $115,000 at sale?"

So my rookie question is how people are investing in the Portland market.
