-Children will stop being an unholy annoyance a become a beautiful thing to be celebrated; about six months after your son is born-After visiting 20+ countries and moving to and living in your 4th country outside the USA, you'll realize people are people are people everywhere in the world.  

I can only hope that's true in my case.Would be happy to connect.

This is particularly true in the Portland Metro are, where the rental market is expected to get more and more competitive, driving up rents. 

Would you say that holds true in this space, or is there a way to keep the discussion on the level of cap rate discounts and/or rehab costs with a multiplier (1.5x or 2x?)

If either are true, you won't quit. 

We both are in California and they are a true no recourse lender.  

You're going to find that it's going to take you a bit to find out who on that buyers list is a true buyer.

Towns like these interest me as they seem to have some solid opportunities available for someone with motivation and the will to succeed, while also being home to beautiful mountains with hunting, fishing, and outdoor opportunities.Also I'll be all over these states so if any BP members would like to meet up, get coffee/dinner, and B/S with my wife and I about RE that'd be awesome!

It's easier to find a buyer if you have a deal.A lot of people think you need to know what your buyers want, and that is true, but you can bet there are plenty of buyers for the basic 3/2/2 1,500 sq. ft. house (with an ARV that is below the median value for homes in your market).  

The house is two stories, 1800 SQ FT, with a beautiful lake view.
