Hi Bethany,I live on the west side of Portland in Aloha (unincorporated Washington Co).

@Joshua Feit The West End can be a very scary place for investors that are not very familiar with it.

@Adam West Thank you!

Its one thing to pay 20k for a little mid west cash flow C or D class home and pay cash for it you then get what you get return wise ..

My name is Karl Turner and I am a student from Gloucestershire in South West England.

I visited New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Miami, Key West, Tampa, Clearwater etc.

East Mesa, which is closer to the college, has a bit of a younger vibe, while West Mesa is better for settled families and low-key professionals.

It seems like all that is offered is west end or east end properties that are pretty much in war zones and those all seem to be offered by newbie wholesalers with inflated ARVs and low ball repair estimates.

@Denise Mayo-Walley the problem with the West Houston area, is that most properties are fairly new (20-25 years old), generally in good livable condition and hence selling at market price.

I work at Bank of the West and deals like this have never been an issue.
