You may want to keep this on the "down low"...or more developers/builders might move to Boise!

Which I'm assuming is similar to fortune builders where you are shelling out 20-40K for guidance.

I knew quite a few builder developer high flying RE agents that had leveraged themselves to their eyeballs.. this is not shocking or new.

I will be going down there in a couple of days, and interested in building/developing/investing, I am a licensed Mexican Architect, I have friends living there as realtors, US investors, and US builders ready to pull the trigger. 

So will see how that all shakes out for PDX. really the affordable is in Townhouse production by the large production builders thats about as good as it gets..

Here’s what I recommend:Cash Investments:No Debt, No Stress: With cash, you avoid third-party control and loan vetting, giving you full control of returns.Equity Builders: Partnering with builders often reduces your property entry cost by up to 20% below market value.Consistent 10% Returns: With an all-cash approach, achieving 10% ROI is realistic and efficient.Financing Strategy:If cash isn’t feasible, consider a balanced financing model:40-50% Down Payment: Keep leverage manageable while maximizing returns.Lower Debt Exposure: A conservative loan-to-value ratio (LTV) reduces risks and keeps returns stable.Work with a Builder: Collaboration with builders can lower acquisition costs and increase your ROI.Key Takeaways:If possible, prioritize cash for simplicity, control, and consistent returns.Financing can work well with a disciplined approach to debt and a strong underwriting process.Partnering with builders offers opportunities to reduce costs and enhance your portfolio’s profitability. 

For example, if the prevailing interest rate is 7.5%, a builder could offer buyers a 5.5% rate as a way to make the purchase more affordable.

Before myself and a few other builder developers jumped in.. it was hard to sell anything in those blocks of town..

I know I just ratified a transaction where I was selling a new build ( not yet built) and the broker representing the buyer had a very high buyers broker agreement that simply does not work for builders and what we have to do to manage the process.

. : ever since meeting with Jonathan from quality builders I have been buzzing with excitement, so a special shout out to him, not that he needed my endorsement but I really appreciate his help and hope to collab with him soon on something🙂
