Named after Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, a 1031 Exchange allows you to defer paying capital gains taxes when you sell an investment property as long as you reinvest the proceeds into another “like-kind” property.

A lot of our older structures here are grandfathered into modern building codes and, in the event of a significant loss, you'd likely benefit from the extra bucket of coverage meant for bring structures in accordance with modern codes.

Two quick moves: pick a simple first play with a tight buy box (rent‑ready SFH or light rehab in one or two zip codes) and walk those blocks with an investor‑friendly agent and a PM to sanity‑check scope, rents, and no‑go streets.Which submarkets are you leaning toward, and do you want to start with a rent‑ready rental or a light rehab you can manage confidently?

STR permits are also attainable outside city limits with Coos County - though the process may take months due to waste and water system inspections.Gold Beach: Generally restrictive - permitted in commercially zoned areas or outside city limits with a Curry County permit.Brookings: Permitted with specific zoning code only - usually on the very west side of town.There are exceptions to every rule and investors should work closely with the city or county planner, their real estate professional, short term rental property manager and title team to ensure that their prospective investment is eligible and familiarize themselves with the licensure process before and during their due diligence period.

Things like market share in a city, zip code concentration, or whether one group can actually move prices by itself.

As tax professionals, we provide guidance solely on lawful options available under the Internal Revenue Code.

In reality, it's actually a good checks and balance approach to understanding inspections and what code compliance really entails.
