@Jay Hinrichs  I've done it a couple of times and it's a blast!  

Iv asked him a few times why doesn’t he build a fourplex or quad plex instead of a couple duplex’s.

I have a couple clients down that way that looking at the same thing. 

Instead they strung along for a couple of weeks and then backed out losing me more time.

Give me a couple more days. ;)Do you still have the investment properties from Jersey?

Managing this rental so far has been easy and it rents fast.Now the SE PDX market seems to be growing at a slower rate than it was couple of years ago and if we don't sell before next year April, I would have to pay capital gain taxes.So my question is - Should I sell this house now and avoid paying capital gain taxes and re-invest the proceeds back when the market hits a downturn or hold on it this house for the long term?

I've found a couple of Meetup's in my area, looking for more.

Entitled Class A tenants can definitely make it seem that way.I am leasing a place myself in a HOCL area but have a couple of my properties going through vacancies currently.

Bonus features in this thread....My money's on the Marine :)I have a couple of SF properties in HSV (I'd been stationed in Montgomery some years back, but made a trip to Huntsville last fall before investing).
