Didn't use a realtor, per se, only a Flat Fee MLS listing broker. 

I'm not certain which post you were referring too, but if it was mine, I should elaborate and say that just because there is no GC license, per se, the position still exists.

@Adam Zach I’ve been around plenty of my fellow engineers who are fine engineers per se, but constantly got involved with dopey investment schemes and get rich quick plans.

I haven't talked to any CPA's that specialize in real estate or investing per se, just ones that have said they can do taxes for me.  

We have a listing in Manhattan Beach right now where the Annual Taxes are showing up as monthly on SE. 

You will also likely find that a “manager to enforce” will never be as respected or ‘intimidating’ per se as the landlord themselves and the threat of eviction for not following the said rules.

If they do not want to put that much money into one property then maybe they invest in a sponsor type deal on a larger property for 25k to 100k cash in per deal.they maybe accredited but by and large it appears not real estate savvy per se ! 

My apartment is located in SE off of MLK in D.C. a building just went up for sale last week that's connected to my building I think the address was 333 parkland pl SE for 530k.

Not investors per se, but more of the people that have rental properties more by accident than design. 

(I have experienced a fair number of focus groups here where the out-of-town moderator seemed frustrated by our inconsistent feedback, FWIW.)Ultimately, if a developer can adaptively re-use existing buildings and/or build new projects for middle income folks that prop up the surrounding community -- transit-oriented development, good grocery stores, improved infrastructure, and decent schools -- they would probably do well in outer NE or SE Portland, Aloha/Hillsboro, Troutdale, Gresham, Clackamas, and other surrounding communities.
