@Jason Baker I attended the University of North Texas in Denton, Tx shortly after high school.

Consider different strategies like mid and short term rentals as I believe the Portland area would allow for success in both (although I have heard Portland proper is tough on STRs).Best of luck!

I just did one for like 28k, was a little short on a closing cash purchase. 

Short Term Rentals.

The Norris Group has a hard money ADU loan, but it's short term (3 years). 

that OR consider buying a property you could short-term rent to people who literally just want to visit the casino if it's a large/decent one. 

The short answer is being a middleman between a buyer and seller and you keep the difference in price.

Whether you're looking for short-term rentals, long-term rentals, or fix-and-flips, Florida has something to offer.Favorable Tax Environment: Florida boasts no state income tax, making it an attractive option for investors looking to maximize their returns.Year-Round Appeal: Unlike seasonal markets, Florida offers consistent rental demand year-round.

If its general information, Bigger Pockets has a ton of info that you can learn at your own speed, just type "STR" or "Short Term Rental" in the search bar and a bunch of info will show up. 

In short, by listening to your clients and providing a great service, you will make a profit.
