Portland, Oregon for Cash Flow?

[AJ Singh]

Hey BP! I'm a new investor that just moved to the Portland/Beaverton area and want to invest in RE. Though I'm noticing a trend that the market up seems tricky.  Prices are really high and after analyzing deals, I notice that I wouldn't make cash flow with a traditional down payment of 20%.  

I had an agent create an automatic email alert from the MLS when deals become available. which has been my main source of analyzing deals. I wanted to know what others in the area have seen in terms of the market. Are most of the 'good' deals coming from pocket listings or by nontraditional ways?

I had been looking at multifamily houses, but perhaps for the area I should focus on different properties- thoughts?

Thanks,

AJ
