Orlando just opened Brightline high speed railway (Miami-Orlando with 2 stops i believe).

What doesn't work as well is the beginner who buys for appreciation in a high market.  

Any recommendations from out-of-state investors like myself would be highly highly appreciated.

I am worried about getting in with the prices being so high in the entire Portland area, but I’m more worried about not getting in and getting my real estate portfolio going.Best Regards,Justin

If you can't keep control of your personal finances, you are highly unlikely to succeed in real estate investing.

There is some accounting included, like owner statements and keeping track of all the important numbers for a STR property...i.e. occupancy, revenue, RevPAR, etc.As for guidebooks I highly recommend going on Etsy and finding templates for hard copies and templates for a digital copy.

I’ve been spending time there since I was a child and it feels like a great place, (except for the high crime and drug use, areas which I would never invest in…).

I feel this would be a much higher cost due to the high level of labor needed.Thoughts?

@Juan VargasCredit card stacking is an easy to to ruin your credit and go into massive consumer debt at an extremely high interest rate.

Lots of lenders are pulling back on the refinances because of some markets declining and rates being so high.
