Welcome! I'm on the other side of the country in Central Oregon, but I am always interested in learning about new markets.
What are the key concerns/advantages of investing in your area?
Best wishes and success to you!

@Nathan Brock - Welcome! New builds are definitely offering some of the best incentives for primary residence buyers. My other recommendation would be creative financing. I've scored a rental home for 2.5% down before just from cold calling agents.
Wow! That sounds like a great deal.

Thanks, @Cory Carlson!
House hack--that was our plan. I am blessed to have great opportunities to get started through my employer, so I definitely plan to take advantage.
How do you feel about managing properties from a distance? I have considered purchasing through my employer in some of our other regions (e.g. South Washington, Boise...)
Where can I learn more about doing something like that?
Thanks for the advice, Mike! I totally agree... There is no certainty or stability in this world.
I would agree on avoiding Boise right now, too. My employer is building out in Southern Idaho, so I have been watching those prices and that scary high inventory level. I don't suspect I'll be putting any money into Boise until that market cools off, but could be good in the long term after corrections.
At the moment, I want to focus on Redmond, OR. I see some future potential here and my situation is ideal for it.
Blessings, brother.

@Benjamin Sulka Meetup is a good idea.
What are the most pertinent things I can learn from realtors in this area? What questions should I ask? How can I offer to help them myself?
Thanks a ton for your help, by the way.

Great. Thanks for the tip.
I already know a few realtors and mortgage loan officers.
As far as lenders, is a "hard money" lender nice to have in network? If so, how do you go about finding people like this?
