(Starbucks / yoga studio / craft brewery /boutique cookie,coffe or ice cream shop  are the easiest targets)-Activation of dormant retail sites-Increased foot traffic For B to AAbove also apply-Home valuations (are homes in the increasing at rates above nearby or similar neighborhoods)-Is it walkable or are projects in place to make it highly walkable for residents-Is it near highly desirable activity centers -is it unique (for example - Can it get historic designation)

I have one more year left, but am eager to get my real estate wheels back turning.This year 2025, I am looking to get my foot back in the pool and become much more involved in the real estate community.

Now that I dont fly anymore  I dont think I will ever set foot in that area its just way to far to drive. and personally not a big fan of the Oregon coast  unless  its Tillamook bay to fish for Salmon and Steelhead in the rivers that feed the bay .. thats the only time we go to the coast.. my wife was born and raised on Puget Island in the Columbia river ( Cathlamet) so she wants a summer home there on the island you can get river frontage and nice sandy beach and watch the big ships roll by.. 

I would not touch Denver county with a 10 foot pole because of all the regulations they have in place. 

I would just excavate a few 2'x2'x2' (or larger if possible) spot footings, w rebar and Simpson hardware,under the house (you will want to take up the floor to make this easier to do).

A straightforward way to estimate value is by looking at the price per square foot and using that to calculate your property's worth.In situations like this, it's worth spending a couple of hours yourself to get a solid understanding of the market.

I’ve helped several clients in similar situations find their first vacation properties here in Florida, and the Panhandle is fantastic for beginners because of its year-round tourism and robust support networks (property managers, cleaning services, etc.).

Real estate investing has been a passion of mine for time with my mother also having invested early on where I likely have gotten the love and desire to follow similar foot steps.I have taken last 6 months to educate myself and currently own a single family home as primary residence and would like to expand to multi family properties (2-4 units) for additional stream of income, not to mention potential tax benefits for long-term investing.Based on current living situation, I have a fair amount of equity established in my primary residency along with having enough cash to either pay off house completely or use towards investing in a multi family property.Given that I'm the sole source of income for our household with my wife being the home maker for our two kids under 2, trying to weigh out risks with getting started now or perhaps waiting. 

Times 200 board foot.  

The market's robust economic and employment growth, significant population expansion, and the area's relative housing affordability make it one of the best real estate investment markets in the country.
