Our oldest move from Ohio to Portland in the last fall and is looking at places to buy. Any advice for him there, i.e., neighborhoods, prices, etc. He will be living in it but with the intention to rent it later or buy rentals if he settled into the first one. --65.189.xxx.xxx

The same old story - buy cheapo place and fix, bring in girl to pull weeds and serve the garden to everyone on the street, take the plants offered by others and enjoy. My best man took my car there and watched St Helens explode from his office window, they stayed another 4 years and came back to be with family and freinds. --76.241.xxx.xxx
