I'm located west coast like you, near Medford,Or.     

I'm proud to say that we landed in what I believe to be a better deal: three duplexes from a single seller in a West Michigan location that we are very happy with. 

How do you think this will effect rental rates , home sales ,  construction costs , and insurance costs in Florida and up and down the coast  ?   

There is a really good one at the Boathouse in West Orange the first Wednesday of every month, check it out on Meetup.com

I want to use the equity in my CA home for the downpayment"me: "gasp" there was very popular post a few years back and LA based investor took out a large HELOC on their personal residence so they could buy 8 units in a mid west city.. that he admitted were D class and on paper the cash flow was huge etc etc.. 

I see a lot of east and west coast investors investing in the Columbus market.

I dont think any rehabber in that city would have thought for a minute to put up fencing and hire 24 hour security this is not South Chicago or south of 8 mile Detroit or any number of rough neighborhoods in the mid west deep south.. this is a pleasant farming community with money. 

I'm thinking of a client who is about to offer on vacation rental cabin in the mountains west of Colorado Springs, and they've got these great aspens off the deck that are blazing yellow right now.Hell, I could see three sets of photographs for the Colorado STR host who wants to go all out.
