Hi @Chris BrackshawNot sure what your REI journey has looked like up to this point but as you being your search trying to figure out what areas to look intoThis website is a great reference point for figuring out what each area is like. https://www.areavibes.com/It gives you a total LIVABILITY score for each street and zip code.

THE University of OREGON holds the very top spot, thanks in large part to Phil Knight of Nike.

Hi @Jaiden YoungAs you begin your real estate journey something I would recommend for you is this website. https://www.areavibes.com/Use this rating and classification system I have created over time to get an idea of the "Class" for the area - A class B class & so onHere is my rating & classification for each livability score.80 and above A+78/79 A76/77 A-74/75 B+72/73 B70/71 B-68/69 C+66/67 C64/65 C-60/63 D59 and below F

I have gotten a lot of direct bookings through my websites. majesticcostarica.com johnnysbeachbungalow.com and costaricaprivateresorts.com.  

BP has a list of the recommended books here on the website under STORE  I believe. 

I went to check out their website and neither is listed...the signs have been up for almost 3 weeks in one case. 

Before I get to the issues I want to point out Bigger Pockets is a great website for networking, free information, investing strategies and many other things. 

We have ~35 agents and they primarily come from OSU or right out of college.Ok didn't realize you were broker just said realtor on the website.
