Moving to Portland isn't just about packing boxes—it's about learning a new city. Fourteen years after relocating, I'm sharing the lessons I wish someone had told me about neighborhoods, bridges, and discovering where home really is.

I am Daisy. I have thoughts. Specifically: hedgies and treats. You are welcome.

"I talk to a lot of people who are holding out for rates to drop to 4% or 5%. That might happen eventually. It might not. What I know for certain is that waiting for perfect rates while prices continue to appreciate can actually cost you more in the long run.

You can always refinance a rate. You can't undo overpaying for a home."

I Love Portland!
