Unlikely as it backs up to a heavily wooded park.I have a local broker going over there to assess it for me.

I wanted to put a post out there in order to see if there are any Portland Real Estate investors, professionals, wholesalers, contractors, etc That would like to meet and possibly work with us in the Portland OR and Vancouver WA area.I have been flipping houses the better part of a decade and currently invest heavily in the Seattle area. 

Also this will open your IRA up to paying UDFI(unrelated debt financed income), this is taxed pretty heavily...though this can still be worthwhile, you just need to account for the tax hit in your analysis.

I've spent the last couple hours looking through old threads and it seems like this is a heavily debated topic that I wasn't able to determine an answer to. 

Depends heavily on how their offer is structured and the circumstances.

Also, in general agent pm's tend not be as informed on rental law and changes as much because most of the local and state realtor associations focus heavily on sales law. 

It is affordable, the National park is gaining in popularity and brings a lot of business to the area, the city is investing heavily into a downtown revitalization plan, there is a military base nearby with a constant flow of military personnel living offsite, etc...Problem is, I can't technically be "owner occupied", so that is basically off limits for now.

However, whatever money you make will be heavily taxed if its reported (I'm not an accountant). 

Yes, on the investment/commercial side of the business, the numbers do skew pretty heavily male, even more so when you get out of residential completely & into office/industrial/retail.2.

About myself: I'm a Texas Attorney, and heavily invest in residential real estate.
