I have a few clients who are pretty excited about Oregon Cities future.

Kensington is a great neighborhood, incredibly strong rental market, and offers a great deal of upside potential.

I'm looking for US markets that have a low cost to entry (SFR or multi for under $100K per unit/"door") yet have a strong potential for short term rentals.

Account Closed I have many clients lend the money to successful RE investors like myself.

@Alexander Green first and foremost you have to be strong financially before any lender will look at your project.

One has to have a strong bs detector in this business, I think. 

We don't make the choices, nor should we judge our clients for doing what you feel you want/need in a transaction.

Costa Rica is a strong location for sure.

You don't need a license at all to invest in real estate no matter what state you live in or the other states you invest in.You should using experienced local professionals in each state you do business in to get the job done right and keep you out of any legal trouble you may be worrying about.A license and all the training and expenses that goes with it is only necessary when you are representing other people as clients.

The selling market doesn't seem to be too strong in this neighborhood; this one has been listed for 60 days and other similar properties have been on the market a while.Craigslist rents validate my range of rent assumptions between 600-700.It sounds like the general consensus is this is not a home run deal at this price due to likely roof and HVAC costs.Any more feedback from others would be greatly appreciated!
