Newbie in Oregon

[Chris Miller]

Hi all, I'm just starting out and trying to decide if investing in RE is a good choice for my family. We live abroad but with family connections to Oregon and long term plans to move there. As long as we are abroad, we've been thinking about getting a small RE portfolio to build long term wealth and establish some ties around Portland or the Albany/ Corvallis area. We are looking mostly at single family options and trying to decide if we want to invest in one mid-market property (250-300K range) or a couple cheaper homes - and to decide which location would offer the best long term ROI in rental income and long term appreciation. Happy to have found such a useful source of information as BP and would definitely welcome any suggestions or thoughts.
