Investing in the Oregon market

Eric Lee
Posted

Hi all,
I'm looking to acquire my first rental property and am strongly leaning towards a short-term rental while doing a MTR for off-peak seasons. I'm located in the Salem area and while I've looked at properties locally, I just don't think my area has the same draw as Portland or Eugene. I'm starting to look closer in Portland and Eugene and think Eugene might be particularly attractive because of the large university. I would love to learn from and network with those who are already active in this market!

Eric,
If you are thinking of Oregon, especially Eugene, you need to talk to Dan Gandee.

Hands down, one of the best, hard working, knowledgeable real estate brokers I've ever met.  He has made me a ton of money as an investor.  I don't make a real estate move without him.  Period.
Mike
