Here are some other factors and reasons the OR Coast makes a prime second home or vacation rental destination (for now and presumedly into the future!)

It's true that demand seems to be low across the board this year for vacation or travel rentals.

If I was going to use a HELOC for investing (which I've done several times), I'd buy a vacation rental or multi-family in a B class neighborhood.

Are you all seeing similar success in other regional vacation markets?
