Had a great day of RE

I’ll be at the event tomorrow night if anyone wants to meet in person!

Good morning everyone! Here are a few things I’m currently searching for: Operating capital with varying returns and structures, ideally looking for 100k plus at 10-13%. Deals: 2000 sqft or smaller homes in grants pass city limits or in the urban growth boundary. Salem: sf/mf heavy rehabs Anywhere: mf, mobile home parks, businesses with real estate, I prefer creative deal structures that get me to permanent debt the fastest and cheapest. This allows me to pay the seller the most instead of all the hard money fees.

Here's what I got when I asked it to run comps of a property I walked today and give me a rehab budget Rehab scope & budget (Portland pricing) Assumptions: ~800 sf LVP downstairs + baths; ~890 sf carpet (up + stairs). One full bath gut; two bath refreshes; small patio/yard. Detached condo/TH—confirm HOA before any exterior changes (often HOA handles building exteriors). Good (Investor-grade, fast-turn): ~ $44.4k Better (Mid-grade, what I’d list with): ~ $62.6k Best (Premium within reason): ~ $89.3k Line items (materials + labor + typical Portland GC markup) LVP main & baths (~900 sf): Good $4.5/sf ≈ $4.1k | Better $5.75/sf ≈ $5.2k | Best $7.5/sf ≈ $6.8k Carpet upstairs + stairs (~890 sf + stair labor): Good ~$4.0/sf + $300 ≈ $3.9k | Better ~$5.0/sf + $400 ≈ $4.9k | Best ~$6.0/sf + $500 ≈ $6.8k Full interior paint (walls/trim/ceilings, light patch): $3.9k – $6.3k (range reflects $2.5–$4.0 per sf of living area) Deep clean (top-to-bottom, post-reno clean): $650–$850 Exterior pressure wash (siding/walks/fence) if HOA allows/required: $400–$650 New kitchen (demo → cabinets, L1 quartz, splash, sink/faucet, 4-pc stainless appliance pkg): Good: $14k (stock shaker, value appliances) Better: $20k (cab upgrades, quartz, nicer pulls/lighting) Best: $30k (ply boxes/soft-close everywhere, full tile splash, better appliances) One bathroom full gut (5'×8'): $8k / $12k / $18k (good/better/best) Two baths—vanity + toilet refresh (no wet-wall move): $2.2k / $3.5k / $5k (for both) Front/back landscaping (cleanup, edging, mulch/bark, shrub refresh): $1.8k / $3k / $5k Dump fees/misc small repairs: $800–$1.4k Contingency (12%) already baked into those totals above. Spec picks that sell (cheap & sexy): Floors: 20-mil wear-layer LVP (warm oak tone). Cabinets: white shaker + matte black pulls; Quartz: arctic/linen white; 3×12 subway splash. Bath gut: 12×24 light tile, black trim kit, framed glass only if comps show it.
