Dear all,
I've just relocated from Los Angeles to Portland OR, sold my LA house and using the profit to buy house here in the Portland area. Homes are more newest and inexpensive here!!! I purchased 5 bed rooms/ 2500SF 2 story house in the upscale area. Since I made profit with my old Los Angeles house and now I have some extra money in my CD account.

1) Should I buy another income property (Duplex / single house)?
2) Is there have any web site show the statistic of rental market in Portland?
3) Any landlords in this forum can share your experiences?

I heard all the nightmare stories being landlord and would like to learn more knowledge.

Thanks for any information.

Rick,
Answering your question is difficult because you have not stated what your goals are regarding investemnt. If you are looking long term then a good rental or two or three is a good direction to go as long as you are aware of the downside of being the landlord. You can get some cash flow, offset some of your earned income and potential equity increase of the properties. If you just want to turn quicker profits then fix & flip may be a better option for you.
