I feel like you would have better luck staying outside of the PDX city limits unless you find a screaming deal. 

It was hosted by M.I.P and we toured properties, meet lenders, insurance agencies, and other provider doing business with M.I.PMy Criteria/Situation: 100K Purchase priceGood working-class B, B+ area3/2/brick houseWas looking for 1% rent to purchase ratioConventional financing with 20-25% down paymentUtilized 401K loan for down payment and closing costsThe Purchase:During the M.I.P Property tour in May, they handed out flyers with properties for sale reserved for visitors that weekend.
