Nearby, Seaside Oregon is another majestic, highly requested and feasible vacation destination for STR investment.

The state will balk, the CCC and Sierra Club will sue, but can they afford to with a disaster of this magnitude? 

Hey @Brett Lambert, this sounds like a unique gem tucked into the majestic Redwoods.

Now there is winter cold and snow but Tahoe ski resorts are 45 minutes  snow mobiling cross country etc.. then the weather in summer is 70 to 85 NO humidity and google the Sierra Buttes  / Sierra City  20 minute drive up to the mountains and 15 Natural lakes full of trout etc..

-> Sierra west-> Bad schools,builders ready to negotiate, rents are not that greatAny advices, pointers on this .Thanks

My immediate goal is to acquire our first property and spend the next two years mastering the basics of real estate investment. ( Refining the Go and No property search criteria/ Learning the value of taxes and avoiding them as much as possible/ 1031 exchanges) Depending on my wife’s career orders, we may remain in Baltimore for 1-2 years, but I’m also exploring opportunities in West Texas, Sierra Vista, AZ, and Houston, TX.

I have an accepted offer on a luxury cabin in the sierras.  

Out-of-state investing makes the most sense for me—it’s impossible to cash flow anywhere near me, and moving wouldn’t make sense because I wouldn’t be able to earn the same wages or find the same kind of jobs.Before this purchase, I already owned two properties: a long-term rental outside Houston, Texas, and a short-term rental in the Sierras in California.

Try Augusta GA, Fayetteville NC, Sierra Vista AZ and Lawton OK.

Don't confuse the two.3) Treat the experience and service like the hospitality experience it should be-- all questions pre-answered, photos make it look majestic, accessibility is easy, the experience brings a follow or a recommendation.4) Manage the property manager-- ask the right questions to make sure your listing gets the appropriate attention it needs, and incentivize them to do so.That's the basic stuff.
