(Our two places are about a mile east of downtown, so we certainly understand the allure of both OCC and downtown.)

Longtime-lurker/seldom-poster here — recent transplant to PDX from the east coast, and my wife and I are in the process of closing on our primary residence, just north of OHSU, which has a fully separate ADU on-site.

Hello BP, kindly seeking advice on 2 things: 1. best neighborhoods North/West of Denver, CO for long term appreciation and a good first time Colorado experience2. lender recommendations for an 80/10/10 programMy husband and I live in Orange County, CA and started listening to BP 2 years ago. 29 and 32 y/o.

I tend to buy in the Southern half of the US for 2 reasons:1) you get much higher year-round occupancy rates in the South & it’s simply tough to earn a good ROI in the North if your place sits vacant for a big chunk of the year2) Culturally, the Southern half of the US seems to be a lot more accepting of STRs regulation-wise.

Then I started looking up north like Chicago, Philly, Detroit, Columbus and realized no sheet there are those type of properties.
