Neighborhood schools garner 4’s for elementary and high school and a 7 for the local middle school.We don’t live in Oregon, but do live in the pacific northwest and regularly visit relatives who live in the Grants Pass/Medford area.

The next stages are to find properties, run figures, get pre-approval for financing, and network with local real estate investors.

I read an interesting paper the other day, dealing with the question if we could re-launch modern society, if we had to start over from a pre-industrial stage for example after a nuclear exchange.

It is like not a single one of them had an elementary economics class.  

Far too many get stuck in the "paralysis by analysis" stage, thinking they just don't know enough to get started.

But it gets tricky as you've really got to either know the area or open to learn as our neighborhoods are diverse and in various stages of redevelopment. 

The goal for me at this stage is to learn as much as possible about the market and connect with fellow investors in the area that are making it work as I hone in on my niche. 

I waited until I was full preservation stage and glad I did. 

Right now, I am in the stage of Finding Properties.

Applicants asked me if I staged that one.
