I’m a new real estate investor also new to the Portland area!

Slim to none reliable outlets have this product active right now that is underwritten as a DSCR.

@Quinlan MoranWhy are you investing in real estate?

Our guests are booking an experience, not real estate.Also I have to believe even in other markets, (if you’re not in the position to rent a treehouse or a giant potato as an STR) one way to set your place apart is by having at least one highly themed room.

Getting started with virtual wholesaling can be a lucrative way to break into real estate investing without needing to be physically present in the market you're targeting.

I will try to find actual real-world values and maybe with the two methods I can find a middle ground?

You are relying on guests to properly build and control a fire.There is no way I would expect guests to be making a fire and keeping in in control.If you are in the Rocky Mountain west, fire danger is a real thing and one stray spark from some green wood popping could create a wild fire.

Real estate is all communication. 

You're in a great place for investing, though I think you should try contacting local real estate agents or even look specifically for auctions/foreclosures. 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
