Of course, but I don’t think there is another impending doom waiting around the corner.

A lot of agents see it as a grey area.. so I would be selective about which agents you approach, of course make connections but also get a feel for whether they are indeed 'investor friendly'.

There are plenty reaping the benefits of Short Term Rental Investing, some cities and states it can be more seasonal so throughout the course of the year you may tend to only breakeven.

What are you seeing in those areas you've mentioned that looks like a fit for that price range?

Im open to a generous % split as long as there's a good chance of fit and long-term relationship. 

Jim,, we are seeing that here in PDX as well... and I am good with a market that does not have multiple offers.. it makes it very hard for people and agents to make a living if you only have a 1 in 10 shot of buying the house you want..so some stability and slowing down in my mind is a good thing.but what I see on BP is people read the hyperbole articles that misquote things.. and the next thing you know they are worried its 2008 all over again.. which ( and I could be wrong of course) but none of my bankers or those in know in finance world think is a risk.. only risk would be metros losing major employment.. then it affects everyone landlords businesss and prices..

I am buying a 34 acre tract in Oregon closing in Dec.. for 7.4 million cash / well I am getting some financing of course.. but the owner bought it 40 years or so ago.. for probably less than 50k.. no need to be a developer its one and done for him  we are peeling off 5 acres for senior living I have it pre sold for 2.2 million cash.. and then I will build 90 homes on the balance of it.. but it makes sense our MAI came back and lots are worth 140k each .. but we have to pay 30k each to develop those of course but still nice margin just on the dirt.. and then we go vertical and make some really big money..
