@Ellie Ryan I’ve heard Keller Williams is the best company to start with as an agent.

@Daniel Weber

Hey Daniel,

Welcome to Portland. I’m also a new investor in Portland, have owned a 3 unit since 2017, and a 3/2 sf since December. Both my systems are natural gas, otherwise I’d likely have heat pumps already.

I’d go to the Efficiency Maine website and review the tax advantages of installing the systems. A friend of mine is a flipper and has great success with this program. From what little I understand you get an actual tax rebate, not just a deduction, and it is is the $5k-7k range.

Good luck!

Sean

@Ellie Ryan Hey Ellie,

Welcome to Portland! I’m rather new myself, but have analyzed a few dozen properties in the city within the past few years. I use the “Portland Maine property search” https://www.portlandmaine.gov/168/Property-Search to get basic tax data, and for a deeper dive you may have luck with the registry of deeds. https://www.cumberlandcounty.org/313/Research-Online

Hope this helps!

Sean

Hi there. As many before me, I have purchased the books through Audible. Could I also receive an access code for the books bonus? Thank you!
