I did some work in Corvallis and thought about investing in that area as well...just seems like Eugene would have a more robust market. But I may just need to do some more research into the potential opportunities that Corvallis may provide!

Wow good to know, thanks Chris! 

Thank you guys, looks like there's a great group of people on here that I can network with to get more familiar with investing in the area!

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!

Hello all,

I am new to real estate investing but my situation is such that my significant other will have a home up in Vancouver, WA and my part-time job is located in Salem, OR. We are exploring the option of purchasing a multifamily unit or duplex in Salem where we can section of one of units to live in when I have to work in Salem but otherwise rent out the remainder of the unit as short-term. Is this a feasible plan and has anyone in the area done anything like this before?

I'm focused on the STR strategy as I would like to benefit from the tax advantages that it offers but understand it may not work out. Appreciate any insights you guys can offer!

Hello all,

I'm 38 and have a stable job that gives me a decent income stream. All my money is currently invested in the market but I'm looking to diversify my investments and ultimately establish a stream of passive cash flow that will allow me to quit my job. It's obvious to me that real estate is the most effective way to do this but I feel like such a newbie and don't know where to start. Are there any must-read book/resources that are necessary for successful real-estate investing?
