To me that makes it a nice place to visit but not a place I'd like to live.Yep, Portland metro is way different, my niece lives in Hillsboro and prices in the Portland-Salem corridor are way more competitive than southern OR or Bend/Redmond.

///// (perhaps you know of a good website which addresses this?)

Are you familiar with John T Reed's website?

Its a duplex out of state where my parents live, so I visit alot (about a 4 and a half hour drive).

After I narrowed it down to 5 guys I asked to visit there current jobs.

I checked out your organizations website, though I am not interested in joining.

The website that you mentioned is the cheapest I found so far too.Othe way of marketing (post cards, letters, phone calls) and getting leads I got 1%- 10%.Be carefull with the city they can fine you with the signs by tracing the phone number.

Amazon will have it.You can see a 4+ minute interview with her on a website.

Here's what I would suggest:Read as many of the threads and posts on this web site as you can.
