Hi everyone, I have it as a goal next year to buy one investment property so I need to learn as much as possible about the process for doing so.

I already did a cash out refinance on my primary in Texas and therefore can't do a HELOC on it.Trying to find other ways to get 10-40k cash.

Is now a bad time to buy because of the presidential election?

I would like to learn how to be a wise invester to the real estate market in Beaverton Oregon area.
