The collaboration between Partner Driven and Archie Raglin resulted in a same-day sale, with a final price of $225,000.

It couldn’t be coincidence that he finally started work, the day after I asked for the lockbox code.

Nolasco told me that he was told by the builder that the 'final' price can only be determined when 'verticalization' starts.

Context: I just moved to Portland, OR and finally decided to pivot careers from healthcare into real estate.

Even as early as this August, they were supposed to send us our original investment back, and then it really took a turn last week and when I finally got Neal on a Zoom call, he was talking another 2 years before it all played out.
