Eugene could be a great choice for STRs with the university driving consistent demand with college kids + family, and Portland offers year-round potential with its already strong market for both MTR and STR.

Hello,We recently bought this 16 bedroom, 4 bathroom motel type room-in boarding house in a low income area in Syracuse.

Bank would want 20% down (200k) and the State on board prior to releasing funds for buildout.

DT Long Beach: beachy urban setting with smaller units 1bdr; close to tourist attractions, and thinking I can STR one unit; BUT high crime rate (90 percentile); properties are older but more attractiveIs it better to go into a slightly better neighborhood in boring Riverside or a more crime ridden area of cool kid Long Beach?

- You can Google this, but sales & rentals slow down once kids go back to school.

If you ever want to bounce ideas off someone or need a sounding board for a deal, I’m just a message away.

One of the engineers had his 4-5 year old kid there and he suggested to just deflate the tires and of course it worked. 

Floor boards were severely charred and inspector worries there could be damage to framing in parts of the house we can’t see (in fact, that side of the house seems to be sagging anyways, which is worrisome). 

Kids out of the house.  

And I understand that i am college kid with no money or experience but then you see people like Rob Beardsley who dropped out at 20 and bought a 200 unit property through syndication and then you think, hm, maybe its possible.
