Building or buying a House on the Oregon Coast?

[Michael R Bender]

Hello Oregon BP people. I'm looking at houses on the Oregon Coast to buy as a vacation rental, but I'm also interested in building as there are some spectacular lots that are reasonably priced. If anyone can refer agents/builders that have expertise developing lots on the north coast (between Lincoln City and Cannon Beach) I would very much appreciate it. Cheers!

I’m on the Texas coast by Galveston, TX. I initially wanted to build on the coast.  If you find some land already developed, that may help with the costs of adding utilities and hassles with city planning departments.  However, double check the costs of windstorm and flood — both ate into my monthly cash flow and I decided not to go there until I have a stronger portfolio
