After years of being on the sideline, finally taking the plunge into real estate investing. Prices here in Oregon just don’t seem to support real estate investing in my area of Albany, Lebanon, Corvallis. I have hesitation with out-of-state investing, and I would like  be hands on with my rentals as well as not use a property manager. I know Oregon has its issues with being a very tenant friendly state, but people are making it work. How are people investing here and making cash flow? I get you can make anything cash flow if you start with a big enough down payment. Would appreciate any and all suggestions and guidance!

Thanks

Hi,

I currently have 2 SFH properties here in Medford Oregon that I am self managing.
I am moving out of state this summer and looking to find a trusted management company to help manage my properties for me. 
any good recommendations?

Hello, bigger pockets community. I bought my first house hack in Salem, Oregon in 2021. I have struggled to buy another property with high prices, high interest rates and my debt to income. My goal was to buy a small multi family once a year, but has been challenging as a solo investor. My goal is to own a minimum of 10 properties. I haven't really looked at out of state investing because of the down payment. Locally house hacking solves the low down payment problem while living in the house for one year, moving out renting out the property and buying another.  Creative finance sounds amazing if I could find seller's willing to work with me. Any help would be appreciated. 

Hello everyone, I am trying to expand my portfolio and knowledge and am looking to partner with someone in the Oregon valley area (preferably Albany, Corvallis, Lebanon, or Salem) who has experience and is willing to teach me the flipping side of REI. I am hoping to get into flipping or BRRR, but I have very little experience in finding deals or anything more than cosmetic rehab. I DO have over 10 years of property management experience, and some funds I'm willing to invest in the right deal with the right partner.

If you'd be interested in partnering, and willing to mentor someone eager to learn, let me know!

Hello everyone. 36 year old business owner with a background in sales. New to REI, and after about a year of reading books, watching countless videos, and joining BP.. I'm ready to dive in head first. Interests are in wholesaling and buy & hold multifamily. I'm currently located in Lebanon, OR, and would love to connect with anyone local willing to JV and help me learn the ropes. Cheers!

Good morning everyone, 

My name is Tim and I just recently joined the BiggerPockets community. I live in Southern Oregon (Grants Pass - 60 miles north of the Oregon/California border). I am open to investing anywhere in the US. My number one short-term goal is to get into the game by purchasing my first investment property this year. I have limited experience as a landlord as I have rented out primary residences before. Unfortunately, I sold my rentals in 2018 as I did not quite understand how owning investment properties could help me acquire wealth. My sudden interest in real estate investing actually began with seeing a TikTok of a person that invest in Section 8 housing. From there, I've been doing my best to research the best way to go about becoming a real estate investor. 

Hi @Lawrence Potts,

Yes I have visited Oregon a few times and my sibling went to school in Eugene. My understanding is that it is a pretty stable market with decent cash flow and appreciation. Curios to hear your thoughts based on current market.
