Oregon Rental Cash Flow

[Anthony Beckham]

Hello BP,

My name is Anthony, I just turned 21 years old, and this is my first post. I am currently purchasing my first real estate investment here in Roseburg OR. That in itself is a story, simply because I was tied up in a short sale for so long before my deal finally went through. I was qualified for my loan about 14 months ago, and I have been looking at local real estate on a daily basis and running numbers on a daily basis ever since. It seems that around here there isn't a lot of opportunity for cash flowing properties. Cash-flow properties are my main interest and what I would really like to build my portfolio with. Most "good" deals that I have found in the last year never cash flow more than $100 after all monthly expenses.

I'm hoping there are others locally that may be investing within a 2 hour radius of my current property. If anyone knows of good areas that are good for cash flow in OR, any insight would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Cash flow will always be a by product of how much you put down, the purchase price, and the amount of rent you are getting. Most investors, including myself, love to find the most cash down for the least amount of money out of pocket. Or atleast this is my experience. This is shooting for a high cash on cash return. How quickly you can get your down payment back out of a property. I've found its tough to find great deals while prices are this high and cap rates are so low. I have a good cash flow property in madras, that I've been super happy with. Bend is insanely priced so people are moving to outlying communities where prices are still reasonable in my opinion. Maybe take a look around there.
