How important is it for me to be able to easily visit my target market? 

Hi Stephen, welcome to the community!

But experiment and see what happens in your market with your specific property.

I'm joining Bigger Pockets to try to connect with people who can teach me and encourage me.

Please let me know who you have worked with and why you like them (How many properties do they manage for you, how long have you worked with them, what you like about them etc.)When the unit is vacant, do they cover the cost for professional photography to rent it out again, or is that an additional fee? 

Hi Anderson, Nice to meet you. 

I THINK what Kevin is saying is what I was thinking. 

If they did not file a police report on DV you may be able to just evict but otherwise in some states the victim may have the right to stay.   

I did some work in Corvallis and thought about investing in that area as well...just seems like Eugene would have a more robust market.

Feel free to shoot me a DM anytime if you have any questions.
