Is Portland, OR still possible for a new REI?

[Tony W.]

Don't really have an option to move out of state, or interested in remote / long distance investing.

I've been reading up on my local area ( Portland, OR ) and all I see are terrible comments about the situation for LLs here

How do things look if you branch out from Portland into Clackamas, West Linn, Lake O, Gresham, Beaverton area, or even Vancouver?
