You can also use less then 2 years SE if the previous year is enough and your year to date profit and loss is not less or declining from the previous year. 

Theres no right or wrong per se, but thats pretty far away

We have lived in the SE Valley and love the area.

I'd like to do my first deal in my market (SE Washington, specifically the Tri Cities) to gain the trust of my wife, but otherwise I'm totally open to investing anywhere after that.

Here's a few of my properties:956 SW 15th St, Redmond, OR, 645 NE 7th Street Prineville, OR, 480 SE Dunham Street Prineville, OR, closing Monday on 727 NW Claypool Street Prineville, OR, and I flipped 673 NE Garner Street Prineville, OR.

One of mine is "balloon" framed, and while there's nothing wrong with that method per se, it led to some issues with sagging and bowing of walls, floors and headers. 

SE's like to manage projects and organize how they come about.

Dorms are set up for "strangers" per se, a house is difficult to get away from people you don't like.

If you'd like more insite into the Alberta or SE BC market feel free to reach out, it would also be nice to talk to you about the southern Ontario market as I grew up there.

Hi @Scott Lieberg, We have a few student housing properties in a couple different markets in the SE.
