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.

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! 👇

If you want your exterior paint jobs to actually last, you can’t skip the prep work. Before that first drop of Oregon rain shows up, here’s the order that matters: 1. Caulking – Seal up all those joints, gaps, and seams where water loves to sneak in. 2. Wood filler – Patch holes, cracks, and damaged trim so you’ve got a smooth surface. 3. Sanding – Level everything out so primer and paint can actually stick. 4. Primer – Lock it all in and give your paint something to grip. 5. Paint – The final protective coat that keeps your home looking sharp and safe from the elements. Skip any of these steps—or wait until the rain starts—and you’ll end up repainting (and repairing) way sooner than you want. 👉 Ask me how I know. 😉
