Hello,

We are newbie investors living in CA. We travel(work-related) to Portland OR once every 2-3 months. Budget around 250K. Finding a good rental property in CA (near bay area) is almost nil now. So were considering Portland OR. Do you feel its a good idea to invest there.

We plan to have a property manager. Do you think its risky to invest out of state. Especially interested in hearing the cons

Thanks in advance

Mina

Hello everyone. Excited to be a part of this forum. I'm from the Bay Area . A techie my profession who loves her job. But Im also interested in real estate.. We became chance landlords this year when rented out our primary residence and moved up .. Since we bought our 1st house when the market was at the bottom, we are doing real well renting it out. Our next investment property we would like to buy and hold. I have 2 questions. If you can share your thoughts/experiences I'll be grateful 1. Would it be advisable to buy a property close to where you live so you a check on it. We plan to have a property manager. Just want to understand if we should be constrains by location 2. Is it better to by a SFH as a rental than a condo Thanks in advance Mina
