I listen to multiple BiggerPockets podcasts a week on my commute to work and I constantly get inspired hearing others stories.You can never learn too much, but I'm at the point where I want to pull the trigger and take the next step into investing.I work in IT and I am looking to connect with house flippers, house-hackers, and investors who are willing to help pass some information along to a newcomer.If you see this post, please reach out or connect me to anyone you believe is a good resource!

I could also keep the land and put another office condo on the front… but given that it is next to a large apartment complex and along a major roadway (with many commuters travelling to/from work), I feel like there are other businesses that would value the high visibility more.

The area this motel is located in is going to be walking distance to a lot of new attractions coming in 2026.

We outpaced "market rent" according to the appraisers by a few hundred dollars by leveraging our awareness of the local market inventory, commuter habits, etc.

Sometimes it has to be zoned properly or it might need to be a specific distance from an already licensed home.Then you need to determine the licensing requirements and see if you can meet those.

I know investing long-distance sounds scary, especially at first — I felt the same way when I started — but it’s totally doable with the right systems and team in place.

I am also a distance investor and I now have a co-host for my Airbnb and I will be self-managing the MTRs, with a flat fee arrangement for anything that requires boots on the ground, like an emergency.

Investors can find riverfront or water view properties with solid bones or a smaller footprint that is upgraded.Bonus HOT areas with variety of budget points: Seaside - Quintessential coastal community within striking distance of Portland. 

Whether it's from real estate agents, wholesalers, investors, etc. i would like some sort of insight if it wouldn't be too much of an inconvenience, as i am wanting to take this the distance. 

Basements that are the same foot print to be able to add a second dwelling for more income in the future, and being close enough to the 20 & 285 for commuting.
