Thank you for the thread.  I love the idea of vacation rentals and plan on moving in that direction eventually.  I have stayed in a number of them and LOVE it!  getting ready to do another in Mexico.  I was part of planning a retreat on the Oregon coast just two years ago and it was a huge success.  Rentals for 10 or more are harder to find, but I believe definitely on the corporate or family getaway list.  We used oregonbeachrentals.com to locate our venue.  

I will be following and interested to see the up and coming laws and regulations for this type of rental income.

Welcome @Skylar Simpson  and Hello to @Jacob Asher

I work up in the Corvallis area and live/invest in Springfield/Eugene area.  It is great to see some investors on here south of Portland.  This site is so great for learning and meeting people.  Would love to arrange a meet up with some like minded investors closer to my area.  

Welcome @James Boyer

BP is a great community for learning, meeting people and other REI resources. Don't forget to check out all of the Podcasts and tools the site has to offer. I look forward to seeing your progress. Good Luck

Welcome @Toree McQueen

Love the BP community, as it seems you do.  The folks up in Portland have been great.  Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing you around!

@Nic Sherman

Welcome!  and @Ned Carey has good advice there.  Smart leverage will get you much further than an all-in investment.  

Good Luck

@Nick Brubaker

That is great!  Wish you had been here today.  some of us just spent a couple of hours over coffee.  there is a great bunch of investors in Portland....If you get down the Eugene/Springfield area, let us south of the metro know and we will see what we can do down here.  Oregon is an amazing place to live.

Thank you everyone!  That was amazing.  It was really great to meet everyone.  A couple of things I wanted to mention.

The form/spreadsheet that I shared with you is what I use as a rough estimate to get to my offer price.  Be sure to do your due diligence and have an experienced contractor give you solid pricing.  I am sure you all know that, but....just to be sure.

I am always available for questions and am happy to help any way I can!  

I'm looking forward to doing this again

I am running late, about 20 minutes. But I'm on my way

@Eric Benzenhoefer

We will look forward to welcoming you when you get here!  

Yes, Still @ 4:30.  I will be driving up from Corvallis.  Leaving @ 3p...so however long that takes.
