@James Kandasamy are you coming the second week of June? We're hosting a meeting that week. It's not a small meet up though. More like 100+ networkers. Great place to connect with Portland investors though if you can make the 2nd Thursday. It should already be an event on the events page for BP. Just look for RareBird. 

Safe travels!

So you're saying it's a good time to buy @Benjamin Ficker!

@Ronald Starusnak exactly. It's a labor issue/highly competitive market issue. I've had and have heard multiple people discuss bringing in labor from other lower cost markets for that very reason. If you can bring that amount of labor over, you will do well. Contractors will stay in very high demand for another 2 years or more, at least and even if construction slows down, it shouldn't slow down for too long as we've had a slow down in permitting and will be short on housing supply; hence creating more demand for new construction. 

@Ronald Starusnak good luck on your move. @Mathew Wray is right on for build costs here. $150-$200/sf is really common here. We're building a pretty high end 4plex and we're just over $200 in hard costs. I know development here a bit and am happy to get you pointed in the right direction. Along with what Matt said for possible home locations. Vancouver/Clark Co will have lots of acreage opportunities within an hour of Portland's core and their market is doing really well right now too. When I heard heavily forested, I thought of NW Portland/Scappoose as well.
