I live in the Portland metro area and I am looking at investing into a multifamily, or singlefamily home I can house hack and eventually turn into a rental.

I lived there myself for 4 years, then moved out and converted it to a super-profitable short-term rental (it's ideally situated near great restaurants/nightlife, the National Zoo, Rock Creek Park, and hotels that host professional conferences).

I live in Portland metro and please avoid multnomah county when buying a property.

Do you live in Melbourne and are you familiar with the area? 

Millennials prefer spending on experiences and there is a general shift away from 'things' to living life in a broader way with Instagram selfiesCONCLUSION: Travel and leisure growing at twice the rate of GDP is intact as the longer term trendA counter point to these three favorable points is that short-term (urban) and vacation rentals (destinations) have taken market share away from hotels and this appears to be a permanent trend. 

If you haven't registered for BPCON2024 yet, we're live! 

We've all seen the potential benefits: faster construction, potentially lower costs, and the ability to design unique living spaces.

Is that what we have here, people dolling up the units- value add- and collecting the extra rents, or are the renters paying higher rents for a more low class living experience?
