Sorry...way way too many questions for me.Every situation different.Probably not enough spread in most cosmetic flips....probably need the full meal deal.Also that cuts out much of your competition if you can handle more.Older and cheaper probably better depending on where you buy.Be ready to act quick, be conservative on your ARV and plan on about double whatever you think your time on market will be.

Here’s a successful one that recently wound up that illustrates that we need to move beyond the simple to structure deals with maximum wealth building. 5 + years ago I came across a property with 2 retail/warehouse buildings.

I’m also learning to analyze deals and would love any advice or tips for the Portland market I can get.
