Coeur d'Alene River runs through there too which is well known for it's fly fishing, which also brings quite a lot of tourism.

My advice on situations like this if you are a small fish stay in your own back yard plenty of good deals .That way you can keep track of all the stuff that needs your attention fill in the blank ___.BIG fish well the whole  USA can be played they have the team in place to do a long distance rent ,rehab etc...

A lot more sharks than fish out there 

Expect to fish. 

That's certainly worth something though it doesn't enter into any IRR calculation.A successful fish store in the neighborhood had to move across the street.

Fish is scarce on the market.

It almost feels like I’m casting out a fishing line but no bites.

Today I got a call from the first floor tenant stating that there is a strong smell like dog/fish in her front porch.

And to build my portfolio up with some small fish then snowball into bigger.  

I understand I am not the biggest fish, seeking my first property and all, but should this concern me?
