Hey @Aaron Allie, nice to 'meet' you. You're actually in luck because the BiggerPockets Podcast show 140 is all about renting in college towns and they focus specifically on Eugene and Corvallis! Check it out and I'm sure you'll learn tons!

@Laureen Youngblood such valuable experience! I'm out in the Hillsboro/Beaverton area and if you're anywhere near the area I'd love to meet up and get you some coffee.

Interesting, thanks for the insights and pointers, @Jay Hinrichs and @Todd Nordstrom.

Hi @Mark Nelson, I'm looking into fixing and flipping.

Hey @Sean Tagge good to virtually meet you. What kinds of repairs are you doing on the unit you're living in? Just curious to see what you've tackled and how it's gone.

I have a rental unit there in Utah and I've loved having it because the people in Utah tend to be really great tenants and it's made the whole experience really positive. Look forward to hearing more about your future projects!

Hi everyone! I'm new to the BiggerPockets community, but I've been listening to the podcast for a bit and binging on the forums. I'm interested in investing in the Portland, OR area where I live, Hillsboro, OR to be more specific. I currently have one rental unit out of state and I'm looking to try a flip for the first time. 

I'm sure that it's been covered in full somewhere and I'm just missing it, but as I search for a deal on a house to flip, what resources are best for finding potential properties? I know some people work with a title company to get a list of notices of default, but I've got questions that go along with that: Is just any title company going to be able to give me what I want? How much do you pay for a relationship like that?  

Any other resources for finding deals before they make it to the MLS that you've found effective?
