Buildings located within three miles of a coastline must first be inspected at 25 years, and every 10 years thereafter.'   

Areas close to coastlines, universities, rivers, major highways, large employers, hospitals, airports etc are likely to keep growing.

A lot of what you talk about with fires and coastline is how we manage climate events and manage our resources. 

Having lived in coastal FL, CA, MX and traveled every inch of Oregon's coastline, investors still acquire considerable value for OR oceanfront investment.For example: The most recent oceanfront STR my client acquired sold for $1.5M with a down payment of 15% and seller concession of 1%.

So CA has a coastline, maybe of CA's got out of CA a bit more they'd realize a whole lot of other places also have a coastline too. 

This is also a bit of a destination, as it is right on the WA coastline, so Airbnb has potential.All in all, I'm confident that I can increase my net to 92k annually, and after expenses and debt service (partial commercial, partial seller carry), this puts me at ~$2,500 a month cash flow. 

On second thought, Did you know the lakes of the ozarks have more coast line than California?

The area is in the downtown of the town that I grew up in( so very familiar with the demographics and historical rents etc. ) and have noticed it trending up for the last decade or so due to nightlife, low crime and decent schools, major train station in town, and the coast line with beaches .The house  has two units which are currently yielding 1600 and 1500.

Im just used to the area, however I was heavily considering Virginia because of how cheap it was to live on the coastline  (comparative to MA) I could buy significantly more there, however I would have to start over with looking for a new job and all that headache over again. 

Russia's northern coastline has begun producing huge qualities of toxic methane gas.
