Advice appreciated in Medford, Or!

[Heidi Wills]

Hi! I'm Heidi and I've had a little experience buying and selling real estate as my primary residence but I'm really excited to start investing in a sf or small multi family property for rental income and house hacking. I travel t/o the states for work and I'm interested in investing either in Northeast Wyoming, upper Michigan or Denver. I'm planning to use a property manager since I'll be an out of state investor. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about private lenders and calculating return on investments and im a little confused by the calculator on BP and could use some guidance. Outside of going to local REI meetings here in Medford (I'll be here for the next couple months), I'd love to toss ideas around with someone experienced in investing in those types of markets. Thanks!

Thanks Jerry, I know I have an unusual situation! I am a traveling therapist and I take assignments all over the US for 13+ weeks at a time. I sold my house in Gillette so I don't have a permanent dwelling. I rent when I'm on assignments. I'm currently in Oregon, about to decide whether or not to extend this contract. Being a Wyomingite, you understand the energy industry related economy fluxuations that our big beautiful state undergoes, particularly Campbell County. With a new POTUS in town it looks like oil and gas are going to make a comeback so I'm considering buying a duplex or 4 plex there. I have connections in Michigan and Denver as well and I'm not ruling OT those locations for potential rentals.
