Thanks for all the tips on the layout of the city (and the Beer recommendation too).See you guys around.

I sold him one of our duplexes a couple of years ago that is paying very well.All of his kids have purchased homes we owned & are also looking to expand into rentals with us.2014 ... we are actively looking at several more buys.

The buyers mindset is close quartered suburban living to co-mingle their kids & hang out (& compete) with the neighbors.

Thanks for the prompt and helpful tips guys, @Dominic Turner and @J Scott.

LOL, just kidding, OK has some well kept secrets, dust storms, tornados, LOLNo, it's got some really nice areas, weather, opportunities and good down to earth folks.

So you just have to toy with all the options and see what seems to click.

A few tips..You can tag people by typing @ before you type their name, then clicking their name when it pops up at the bottom of the message box.

My ultimate goal is to have a portfolio that has enough cash flow where my wife or I could quit our day jobs (who are we kidding, it will most likely be my wife).My dilemma/thoughts: obviously the property or two that I invest in will have to cash flow more than the $$ I will have to pay on the borrowed equity (roughly $130/mo).

I mostly use GRATs, my kids favor GRUTs.

Not in Portland - but one tip is as you build your team, ask every person you utilize that you are impressed with who they recommend and like to work with.
