Oh man, It was early when I read this today.  I somehow missed the commercial real estate part.  I do have some interest in multi family and creative financing, construction financing etc so maybe still could be valuable for me but I don't have much to offer in terms of commercial real estate, all my experience is in residential.  Totally understand if I'm not a good fit for this particular group.  

YES! I am so into this! My name is Stew and I’m a realtor and investor based in N Portland who has focused on building ADUs, using them a short, mid and long term rentals. However, my strategy is no longer viable and I’m excited to figure out my next moves.

Good morning Patty! 

My name is Stew and I’m an investor and realtor in Portland. My main investing activity has been adding ADUs to single family homes and renting them as short term, mid term and long term rentals. You can check out what I’ve built on my Instagram page adu_stew and I’d be happy to chat to give you some thoughts and direction in investing in this market. Please feel free to reach out! -Stew

I'm pretty sure that @Robin Simon hit the nail on the head. I was chatting with a company last week about a refi - they were about the same fees and .25% higher than a conventional mortgage for a cash out refi :) I thought that was pretty awesome since the conventional mortgage needs 2019, 2020 taxes, all the W-2s, 2021 extension... among other things... Also, doing the loan in an entity's name will keep the loan off my credit report. Feel free to send me a message if you'd like their info. :)

Thanks Erin! 
Quote from @Robin Simon:

Hi - He was probably referring to the DSCR loan product, which runs FICO and requires typically 6 months of PITIA reserves in liquid assets, but otherwise is based entirely on the property (no income verification, no tax returns, etc.) I lend on that product and definitely in the Portland area (we aren't local but lend nationally). I'll send you a PM to discuss our options!

yes! That’s it, just found it in the episode.  Let’s chat, are you available to get on a phone call today?


David Greene was talking about a type of mortgage on a recent episode of the bigger pockets podcast that is based on the estimated income from a property instead of the typical debt to income ratio.  Having a hard time finding the episode!  Can someone tell me the name of that loan product?  Anyone reading this in the Portland area offer loans like this?  LMK!

Thanks!

Hi Stewart,

I'm also a Portland realtor/investor and it's extremely tough right now findings Wins. I'm actually selling my duplex I own in Portland to 1031 elsewhere. The laws here just make it very difficult and there is greater appreciation with way less hoops to jump through in other states.

Hey Zac,

Thanks for your reply! It’s not that I want to invest elsewhere to make $, I want to explore ways to create affordable housing here by getting creative; ADU condoization, tiny homes, cottage clusters, STR partnerships etc. I never could of moved to portland if this was the case when I came here. I can afford to live here and have made a ton of $ with my investments, I’m looking to continue to make $, build equity and create solutions. 

 I totally understand where you are coming from, but when there are so many rules and regulations that dictate what you can/cant do with your own property it's demoralizing when other states seem to have a better grasp of things. 

On the contrary, I’d say the residential infill project, tiny house rules and ADU condoization create huge opportunities

Quote from @AJ Shepard:

Stewart,

I agree that the Portland market is one of the hottest markets out there, with the prices soaring up, but I am a huge fan of the Portland area for investment in real estate regardless of the "affordability". Portland is a "hybrid" market because you can still find deals that will produce positive cash flow and still get to benefit from the great appreciation that we have here! The play in Portland at the moment is long-term growth through appreciation. As a local multifamily investor myself, I highly recommend finding a deal here and not regret looking back 5 years from now saying I wish I bought a property then.

Hey AJ,

Thanks for your reply! I don’t disagree that homes will appreciate here and value will be added. I did buy a rental property in 2020 that’s already worth an extra 100k. Even buying a house for $350k (basically no possible unless Far East Portland) with a 2.875% rate, the break even point is over $1900. It’s crazy to me that a 2/1 on NE 83rd needs to $2200 or more as a rental. I’m looking to create a new asset class of homes through ADU condoization or partnering with home owners to add tiny homes. I want to make $ and help create ways for portland to be more affordable. I never could of moved here if this is what portland was like when I came here.
