What I've found, in speaking with RE attorneys locally, is that wholesaling is largely considered illegal in Oregon. Are there any dissenting opinions out there?

@Brad Hammond Ah, got it — I didn’t even realize there was a 30+ day market for Airbnbs in Portland. Thanks for the help!

@Brad Hammond thanks Brad! How/where does your friend market for 30+ day short term rentals? I was also trying to explore that, but hit a wall.

@Zach Davis thanks for the insight, Zach! Are you comfortable sharing his nightly asking price? I agree that the short term strategy here seems like a more lucrative option, assuming I can tap into the student/medical/tourist niches.

Hey gang! Longtime-lurker/seldom-poster here â recent transplant to PDX from the east coast, and my wife and I are in the process of closing on our primary residence, just north of OHSU, which has a fully separate ADU on-site. It's currently setup as a large studio without a kitchen, but we plan to eventually erect a wall to create a bedroom, and install a kitchenette.

My question is, knowing how persnickety Portland is with regard to Airbnb, would it be a smarter strategy to rent it out on a longer-term basis to a regular tenant? Or would I get more bang for my buck marketing it on Airbnb, VRBO, etc, in spite of needing the short term rental permit and hotel tax and so forth?

Thanks!
