I invest most of my resources toward finding off market deals for this reason.

Do you have any tips or resources on how to evaluate a neighborhood to determine the neighborhood class?

Try to target a Multi-Family. 

Really depends on what you are looking for and your resources obviously. 

It’s how professionals effectively reach their target audiences, and in no industry does that appear to be more important than real estate.Being one of the biggest client-facing industries in the world, real estate is one that benefits the most from various social media platforms.

I've been spending some time looking at listings on Zillow and targeting rehab houses that have been on the market for awhile (>30-60 days), in neighborhoods that have a close proximity to sought after neighborhoods that will hopefully be rising in home value and with median home values that are at least 1.5-2x the asking price for the house in question.

You can pull the area your targeting and set the criteria for cash sales in the last say 180+ days.

The lease has to be at least 30 years, but can run up to 99 years.This investor says he has great success at it, as he targets owners of small commercial properties who owned it for a long time, too old and tired to handle the operational responsibility, but can't sell because of the capital gains issues.In fact, he started on this type of investment as a no money down approach to acquiring properties, which turned into helping sellers with capital gains issues.Honestly I think it's simpler than a 1031, for the lessor that is.

Are you aware of any other resources on the site for Oregon investors?
