I am a 21 year old woman from Portland, Oregon, tasked with the unusual duty of finding a house to purchase and eventually live in. My parents are buying it, but they live in Arizona so the hunt is up to me. The specs: The house must be under-or-around $200,000, have at least two bedrooms, a nice yard, preferably close to public transit lines or at least biking distance from downtown, and it must be investment worthy. I've never done anything like this before. I'm a college drop-out, a barrista, and an aspiring artist. I'm going to hang on and enjoy the ride.
