@Sean Watson Thanks for the heads up!

@Mike Smith Thank you! I work in Salem so I am in the area all the time.

@Lu Kang 
@Kyle Davidson
Thank you both for your insight on Philly. I think it will be worth it for me to scope out some properties while I am visiting and see if the numbers work for me.

Hey everyone - of those who have buy and hold/rental properties in Philadephia, are any of you investing from out of state or at a distance?

I have a family member moving to Philly and buying her first residence. I was interested in looking at properties when I go visit her, but I noticed the property taxes are pretty high. She mentioned it's due to a high base tax for local schools.

I would appreciate if anyone could share their experiences in Philly if they are investing from a distance. Do your properties cash flow? Do you have a property manager? What are some challenges you've faced since you can't visit the property or meet with members of your team in person?

@Marie Merkley Thank you!

Sell my SFH in Portland and complete a 1031 exchange to acquire one or more multifamily properties before the end of this year.

Hello REI community!

My name is Whitney and I am newer to Bigger Pockets. I'm excited to be here and network!

I am based in the Portland metro area and I am a licensed real estate agent in the state of Oregon. I have lived in and visited all parts of the state. I currently own an investment property and enjoy looking at properties from both an investor and resident lens. I absolutely love the Northwest and I love real estate!

@James Cox

Thanks for the tip, it sounds like audiobook is the way to go on that one!

@Matthew Auletta

Thanks for the recommendations! Set for Life was definitely on my list.

@Fitzroy Harvey

Thanks, good to know! Maybe I will pick the book back up when I am in a different mood.
