My father is 68 and looking to retire from managing and owning a 54 unit rental business in our town. 

This is a question I brought up in the town hall at #bpcon2019.

It was a creative financing cornacopia and it helped the seller move out of town within 4 days of signing the agreement.

and the towns on highway 20  all the way to Neveda city Grass valley all within 2 hours of sf.North  maybe check out cabins in Russian river for STR purposes etc.

Otherwise we don't get MTR folks as we are way out of town. 

Five towns in Oregon made the top 25 most expensive in the US including: Hood River, Astoria, Prineville, Brookings and The Dalles.Here is the full list: 1.

They had no problem with my random small town banks.

I currently rent in Mid Town and enjoy the area. 

Getting to know the towns, neighborhoods, streets and actual properties is essential and far more important than just one town name versus another.At this point, you don't know anything about your future tenant, so I wouldn't assume they are trying to get to the city.

I have buildings where the tenants pay for town trash bags and buildings where tenants pay a trash service.
