I gave up on the idea since I'm not thick skinned enough to invest out-of-state, but just another angle for you to look at.If you decide to follow through with this, let us know how it pans out.

Hi @Matthew Riggs - A preemptive welcome to the Pacific Northwest!

The 5 funds that Schiff's Euro Pacific runs have year to date returns of 8.54%, 4.29%, 3.48%, -5.58%, -20.17%.....and thats even before accounting for the expense costs on each of those that range from 1.15% to 1.75%. 

South is Mexico, west is the pacific, north is Pendleton and after Pendleton is OC with similar price to San Diego, East quickly gets very harsh. 

Tenants won't pay more just because the water heater is new or because you replaced Federal Pacific electrical panels.

This is so Pacific Heights.

In one the cooking pots and pans were all warped and about 40 years old & no spatula to flip my eggs in the morning.
