Portland, OR investors - What are the pros and cons of being a Landlord?

[Tony W.]

Trying to understand if buying my first BRRR / LTR would be worth while in the Portland, OR / Multnomah county area.

What are some of the pain points of being a Landlord in Portland as of today, and if you have decided to opt out of the Multnomah area what were your reasons?

For the folks who are currently invested in Rentals in the Portland area how has it been being a landlord here, and would you recommend it?

Currently deciding on areas a bit further away from DT, or the hotter areas like the Hawthorne neighborhood. Have been looking more towards Lents and its surrounding neighborhoods.

Would appreciate any insight!
