As an investor myself, I'm constantly on the hunt for coastal value (hence our most recent Mexico STR and coastal Oregon since 2018) and having lived in many of the most desire-able coastal cities like Ft Lauderdale FL and Venice Beach CA, I'm convinced the Oregon Coast provides some of the strongest relative coastal value and particularly oceanfront property in the continental US. 

Simply providing information pertaining to legalities.

Some people see it as a way to get into a multifamily house at a lower downpayment and interest rate, while still providing themselves a place to live.I think the only way it would be "wrong" is if it puts you in a situation you can't afford or makes you "house poor".My husband and I rent out 4 of the bedrooms in our house plus a bonus room, meaning we have 6 roommates, but our entire mortgage is covered.

@Terra Padgett as someone that has retired early off of my rental property cash flow, I will say it is predictable at scale, over time.One property does not provide predictability either on short term, or over the course of one year.

Our plan has been to establish a strong financial foundation of properties that provide very strong cash flow while capturing the high market appreciation (maximize returns while minimizing our risk).

The real estate agent actually told us that he was terminally ill - which we (my wife and me) later found out was not true.

I'm an agent . easy negotiation, we did offer asking price since everything is selling so fast here. but there was still a good marge originally.

In the mobile home investing space, I've found the best source of information for market insight are the park manager and/or owners (if you're buying in a park) and mobile home dealerships (if buying out on land) as well as real estate agents who specialize in the niche. 

Most people don't recommend getting started with a flip especially if you don't have reliable people in your network like contractors and an agent. 

Any direction you can provide to locate deals, and advice on the area in general would be greatly appreciated.
