Portland Oregon keeps adding to the reasons why you should invest in real estate here:

Another Clothing company just announced that it is moving its United States Headquarters to Portland!
Icebreaker is a world known company from New Zealand - they primarily make outdoor clothing from Merino Wool, mostly found in New Zealand. An article I recently read said the company is moving because they wanted access to the city's highly talented employee pool that they could draw from and all of the outdoor activities that are right here in Portland, Oregon.
This may also be the reason why other companies like Nike, Columbia Sportswear and Keen Footwear have made their home in Portland.
It definitely seems to me that business is growing here. People are relocating to Oregon and it is the perfect time to buy an investment home and rent it out. Inventory is up, prices are strong and stable - most of all - rent is up approximately 6.8% so far this year.
