@Bryan Noth Southeast Austin and Del Valle will see a major wave of investment over the next decade.

Because the highest ROI is about 1000 miles away from me where I own a number of properties that make a ton of money

The midwest and the southeast have much better prices for entry and easier on the regulations.

Maybe pictures of the 10+ mile views... east and west;) 

@Gage Downey one little caveat we did find for a second loan was that with an FHA loan, you can technically have two in your name, but the properties need to be more than 100 miles away from each other (there may be more to it, but that's a question for a lender).  

No chance of %1 rule. 20 miles around portland are the more B class areas.

Purchase price: $168,000 Cash invested: $37,500Single Family Residence 3/2 four miles from the beach that was purchased for a short-term rental property.What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

My brother and father were looking for a fix & flip opportunity close to where they lived and this house was within 3 miles for each of them.

We have many markets for this type of coverage and some will not insure for out of state or owners living beyond a certain # of miles (50 for example).

Open rentals in that area I have seen range from $1900-2200 (According to Rentometer, the average is $2040, within a 1.5 miles).
