So in short, does your region experience lots of annual rainfall? 

I would check with a regional bank.  

I work around the Willamette valley and would be interested in meeting up for a microbrew to discuss regional insight.

I know some agents definitely believe the continuing growth of jobs/population in the region will keep driving home values higher.

Ive found Chicago Title to be the old school mainstay selection for real estate in the region but I agree Proper Title is another good option which I've found to be much less expensive than CT.

If you do have an interest in this region, please feel free to reach out to me. 

Hello all. My name is Jeremy, just getting started in real estate investing. I've been doing my homework and I think wholesaling will be a good start. I look forward to networking and learning from you all. 

I would call Jeff Randolph at Pacific Crest Builders.

If you like that region, you might want to consider Jacksonville.  

It's a good way to network with other investor in your region.
