Is anybody here under contract on a flip right now that you’d like to share with the group? 👉 What are the numbers looking like? 👉 Any surprises so far? 👉 What type of due diligence are you doing (or did you do)? For me—I’m currently under contract on a property in Southwest Portland. My due diligence so far includes: ✅ Tank sweep ✅ Foundation check by Terraforma ✅ Conversations with Portland’s Land Use, Planning & Development Department to figure out what (if anything) I can do with the extra lot ✅ Plus some “sneaky” behind-the-scenes, high-level deal structuring 😉 Now I’m curious—what are you guys working on? Let’s share and learn from each other’s deals.

Hey everyone 👋 I had an overwhelming amount of responses to my question about whether we should also create a Facebook group, and it sounds like the consensus is probably no—which is totally fine by me. I’d rather keep the focus here and not have to juggle two platforms. That said, a few people have asked about the idea of hosting an in-person meet up—either monthly or quarterly—somewhere around Portland or Vancouver. Would this be something you’d be interested in? Drop a comment below if you’d like to connect face-to-face with other members of the community. If enough people are excited, we’ll make it happen! 🙌

Hey everyone, We now have 106 active members in this community — and that’s powerful. But the real power comes when we actually connect, collaborate, and help each other win. So here’s what I’d love for you to do right now: 👉 Make a post or drop a comment and tell us what you’re looking for and how you can help others. If you’re a hard money lender, let us know you’re here to fund deals. If you’re a contractor, share what services you offer and the value you bring. If you’re a wholesaler, ask buyers what they’re looking for so you can hunt it down. If you’re an investor, share your buy box (what kind of properties you want). If you’re newer, tell us what kind of support you need most right now. This community only works if we know what each other needs and what each of us can give. 💬 So drop a comment, make a post, and let’s build some serious momentum together. I’ll go first — here’s my buy box / how I can help: 🔥 Here’s My Buy Box — What’s Yours? Alright everyone, time to lead by example. I want to show you exactly what I’m looking for so you can see how simple this is — and then I’d love for you to drop your buy box (or what you need help with) in the comments. 👉 Flips: Purchase Price: $200K–$300K Location: Clackamas County or Multnomah County preferred ARV: No more than $500K Rehab: Ideally under $100K (unless margins are really good) 👉 Multifamily: Minimum: 4 units or more Ideal: Owner financing (who doesn’t want that with today’s rates?) Or: A massive discount — I’m talking at least $200K of true equity walking in (and no, that doesn’t mean after I sink $1 00K into a remodel 😂) Can’t wait to hear from you all. – Brandon

Yesterday I picked up the phone and called a few owners of multifamily properties here in Clackamas County… and you’d be surprised how willing some of these people are to talk if you approach them the right way. Here’s what worked for me: 👉 I led with genuine admiration: “I see you own a 5-unit / 20-unit / 39-unit… that’s amazing. I’d love to learn how you did that.” 👉 I expressed curiosity and respect for their journey instead of trying to pitch anything. 👉 I positioned myself as someone local and willing to serve: “If you ever need contractors, help, or anything at all—I’d love to be in your circle.” The result? ✅ Two conversations that each lasted ~30 minutes. ✅ One owner even told me I was “charming and funny.” ✅ I now have genuine rapport with people who own the exact type of assets I want to own. Will one of them sell me a deal tomorrow? Probably not. But maybe they’ll sell someday. Maybe they’ll refer me. Maybe they’ll introduce me to another investor. The real win is this: when you’re serious about multifamily, don’t just scroll listings. Reach out directly to the people already doing it. Express admiration, ask good questions, and start building long-term relationships. That’s how doors open. 🚪 Who else here has had a good conversation with a multifamily owner lately?

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?
