Hello BP Community!

I'm from the San Francisco bay area. My wife, @Annelyse Finley, and I are looking to invest in properties to buy and hold. We have the capital, but we want to make sure we are making smart decisions. I'm here to learn and I've found BP to be an incredible resource so far!

We're looking to invest out of state and are currently focusing our search on Bend, Oregon and NW Arkansas. Bend because we love the area, we're considering moving there in a few years, and think it has good appreciation potential. We'd like the properties to cash flow, but we're having a hard time making the numbers work there. NW Arkansas because we have family ties to the area. The main goal in Arkansas would be cash flow.

I'd be interested in hearing if anyone has strong opinions about the current and potential market in the two areas.

Looking forward to being a part of this community!
