Home prices have steadily rose with the rest of the state (probably from retirees from down south).

We owned it 10 years, did very little to it by design & the assessment had tripled by the time we sold it, for way less than the assessed value.I see in some of the southern states tax assessments are doubling & a friend in TX tells me his tax assessment has risen 200% over the last few years. 

We have dipped steadily from 100% collection in March to 94% in April and 91% in May and June. 

Though the building’s expenses and property taxes have risen significantly, and though average rents in Portland have increased 14% year over year, your rent will only increase by 5%.

I’ve had exceptionally low vacancies and have been able to steadily increase rents without losing good tenants.I think the biggest downfall of the area is lower appreciation.  

My goal is to manage properties long term while I steadily invest in properties myself.I live in Los Angeles and have been applying for Leasing consulting positions but many places seem to require a real estate license.

I don't feel the need to go around posting about market crashing or talking with others about excitement over deals, because I am always steadily looking for deals and assessing any re-balancing opportunities.

Finding a property listed online that will cashflow with a 25% down payment is very very hard at this time anywhere west of the Rockies. 5 years ago you could but the market has risen too high.

RE Agent, RE InvestorCalifornia is a pretty awesome place, which is why the population has steadily grown despite people leaving in droves. 

My neighbor who manages accounts for Home Depot has recently told me that the costs of certain materials has risen drastically - given all of the natural disasters that have happened in the area and across the states.
