Welcome to Oregon many similarities with Mississippi about the same population.. locals LOVE TO HUNT and fish like they do in MS>.. only difference is the demographics of the state..

If your mortgage is $1200, that makes your total monthly nut about $2150.

Lots of lakes, rivers, mountains, white water, fishing, rock climbing, good place to hang glide, etc.Nashville is bigger and is growing faster. 

You'd have to be nuts

Give yourself permission to go fishing on occasion (or similar) merely to strategize by yourself.

I know that you will love this but I am going to start off is there is low term and longer term investm nuts in real estate investments.  

People are not careful and run too much grease down the drain and sewer clogs up, or baby drops a plastic lid in toilet that plugs sewer, $1200 later the plumber fishes it out after sewage backed up and ruined $1000 of carpet.

Hahahahahaha well as long as we have sue happy nut cases and the ever so popular blame it on the other guy morons in this country I say not anytime soon.

I did spend one entire winter skiing at Big white and learned to fish the Kamloops Plauteu and still go up there 2 to 3 times a year.

You will drive yourself nuts trying to manage your drive time.
