@Adrian Beltran Depends on your comfort level investing OOS, connections in that market, and time you have available. 

My degree is my margin of safety & a high paying skill necessasy in our future.I am an international student who’s adjusting his status (getting my green card) this year.

Raw land, municipal water hooked up, electrical pole on site, flat/level, problematic trees felled, some fruit trees, backs to National Forest, salmon/steelhead hole, no structures. 180k, 70k down seller financed for 5 yrs at 6%.

I want to take my business to the next level which requires money.

I dont see the point in that differentiation really, but guess theres some ‘high level’ thinking on that.

That’s super high level though and maybe still not the best measuring tool for analyzing markets.
