It is surrounded by a cabinet shop on the left side, a couple commercial buildings in the back alley that are used primarily as storage for various businesses and a bar on the right side.

But I started steaming every square millimeter of my bed and the surrounding area, many times.

I am new to BiggerPockets but have been looking to get into real estate investing here in Bend and surrounding area.

In lieu of investing in Atown where the market is jam-packed would it make more sense for a first timer like me to consider looking in the surrounding area for a duplex or triplex?

Outdated plumbing, knob & tube, asbestos, mold, wet basement, deteriorated roof and exterior siding and trim, functional obsolescence, etc.I also look at the surrounding area. 

Hello All,I have interest in Bend, Oregon and the surrounding area.

In this business, especially when you are new, it is important to surround yourself with people who have your best interests in mind because in the real estate investing space it is very easy for an experienced listing agent or seller to take advantage of a new investor without representation during a transaction.

So I got my real estate license in order to potentially surround my self with like minded people and learn about the business.

Every resettlement I participated in was in Des Moines proper, and if that's representative, then a change (reduction) in immigrant inflows would not impact the surrounding suburbs. 

Anyone flipping old houses in Little Rock and surrounding areas, I will take any old metal kitchen cabinets you're getting rid of off your hands, and maybe light fixtures, sinks, etc. too.
