I love Portland.
you just have to be in the right area.
Nothing beats it. Hanging in the pearl and downtown in the evenings is the best.
About 6 weeks ago we came very very close to biying a condo in the pearl to rent out. Real damn close.
It would be perfect for shoots as well. Lots of light, and when you look out the HUGE windows you see the soon to be very famous "Go By Street Car" sign.
I loved it.
But the rental market is getting soft for investment purposes. And the buyer market is really bubbled up at the moment. I told my wife about the renting it out for shoots idea but she didnt really like that. Not sure how steady the $$ in that would be. It would have to be near 2k a month coming in from that, and truthfully i dont see that.
There were two we were looking at there, bioth small Studios, but nice. Both close to 300k. Just for a fucking studio.
But they sure were nice. Maybe in the winter Ill pull the trigger and get one. But for now we have changed our plans to buiying some Homes in upcoming SE portland areas and renting em out.
we checked out some 500k and over condos in the same building and holy fuck. They were fuckign nice. Brand new and never lived in.
There are also some 2-3 year old properties in the pearl for much less $$.
And up the street there are some killer lofts for under 300k.
Almost pulled the trigger on one of them as well.
