I've already begun my semi exit from LTRs. 

It needs an aggressive attorney and likely an aggressive local or semi-local eviction specialist, who has tall experience with challenging tenants.Yuck. 

The County just hired a new Planning Director, and he's supposed to be more builder friendly, The City already has a head of Planning that came from the building trades, so hopeful. my brother lives in Lake Co.. and is up on the CARR fire right now  Heavy equipment operator.. but he did the Lake co aftermath and some in Sonoma.. the demo of the fire burn outs is a hazmat or semi hazmat process..  

You could also buy something semi turn key all cash and just sit on the cash flow.Numerous ways to go about it and each one will have different outcomes, but you should start with your end goal in mind and work backwards

Just turned 50 myself at the end of July and my rental properties' income should allow me to have some wiggle room to semi retire when I turn 53 in 2023.My pension will be between $3,000 - $3,200 a month for my life time and my wife's life time.

I'll just opine to say that small deals with a bunch of semi-active partners and nobody clearly in control should be the definition of hell in the dictionary. 

Andre', I have very little idea what you're talking about and you use an awful lot of semi-literate punctuation.

My end goal is to own a handful of properties that I can eventually live off the rents and semi-retire from my "day job".Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Most Coast agents are semi-retired/don't need the money type agents who will sell you what's on the MLS only, and there are no deals on the MLS.That being said, if you are interested in the long game on the Oregon Coast, the equity appreciation is hard to be.

If you're doing a full gut or semi-gut renovation anyway, and trying to sell near the top of the price point for the area, then yes it's definitely a good idea to spend the extra money to redo the wiring now.
