Whether it’s a light cosmetic update or a full gut job, I’ve been through enough remodels to know how overwhelming it can feel. Between budgeting, lining up contractors, pulling permits, and making sure the finishes appeal to buyers/renters—you can easily lose money if you don’t run the numbers right from the beginning. 👉 If you’re a member of this community and you’ve got a rehab project coming up (or you’re analyzing a deal and wondering what the rehab will actually cost), I’m offering to help: Walk you through realistic rehab estimates Share contractor connections and cost benchmarks Help you decide when to DIY vs. hire out Show you how to prioritize upgrades that maximize value-add & ROI Talk through timelines and pitfalls I’ve learned from my own projects Drop a comment below or DM me if you’d like me to take a look at your project. This is a collaborative group, and my goal is to help more of us get deals across the finish line profitably.

What formula are you all using to make sense of a flip in the Portland area right now? Trying to get a better feel for how others are analyzing deals in this market — whether you're adjusting the classic ARV formula, factoring in longer holding times, or using a different approach altogether. Would appreciate any insights or rules of thumb you’re using to run your numbers. Thanks in advance! 👇

What you guys think about having a Facebook group as well? Do you guys prefer having something separate here that's away from the distractions or do you think it's easier for most people just to keep things on Facebook?

Hi, I’m Cheryl Ward, a mother of two and a wife. My real estate journey began in early 2024 when I realized my corporate job no longer fulfilled me. After graduating from college, I worked in Corporate Sales and Logistics, but I found it challenging to balance family time with the rigid hours of a 9-5 job. Flexibility was hard to come by, and I longed for something that allowed me to create my own schedule and be there more for my family. I started learning about real estate through YouTube and local real estate groups, but my learning curve was slow, and I struggled to find reliable support for my questions. That's when I joined the Subto community just over five months ago, after a successful lending deal with one of Subto's leaders. Since then, I've been following Pace Morby and Jerry Norton, whose teachings and community support have been invaluable. Currently, I'm active as a lender, working on transactional, short-term, and as a conector. I also a buy and hold investors and have had acquired 3 properties. My ultimate goal is to enter the multifamily space to build long-term wealth for my family. The skills I honed in the manufacturing industry—organization, planning, negotiation, and collaboration—have proven to be incredibly useful in my real estate ventures. I’m loving this journey and am eager to connect with like-minded investors who share my passion for real estate. Let's see how we can collaborate and work together to grow!

Grateful to be here fellow investors!! Let’s do deals together!
