@Matthew Irish-Jones somebody mention those above.

@Matthew Irish-Jones Thanks Matthew.

@Matthew Irish-Jones Yes, sure.

Having been a tenant and an owner under rent control (Santa Monica, CA where the city dictated the amount of increase on a yearly basis) the culture around renting turns into expecting that rents will raise each year no matter what even if a nominal amount.

Real estate investing has always been very appealing to me and I am extremely intrigued by the culture that surrounds this industry. 

Still affordable, lots of arts and recreation, strong entrepreneurial culture.  

We were looking primarily at the Bend area but to avoid some culture shock in reference to the landscape, I think we will venture closer to Portland so we will be working much closer to you!

Regardless, physicians are still in an amazing position to do very well for themselves, if only most of them knew what they were doing (it would blow your mind to hear the speculative nonsense I hear in the doctor’s lounge every day).The culture of medicine aside, I am truly amazed at the possibilities within real estate.

Here we are selling custom homes for around $160 sq/ft which includes granite counters, cultured stone exteriors, landscapes, etc.
