Good morning, I am looking for references for contractors, specifically painters in Portland Oregon. 

You will ultimately need somebody on the ground to let prospective tenants in the door and to verify that the painter in fact painted the place.

The prices for such products are much more reasonable ($9, $16 and $18.50 per gallon).I'm curious to what the rest of you guys choose (or what your painters use) for your rehabs.

He will be half price of a high end pro who is actually a PAINTER like an automotive painter is.

BUT only SOLD COMPS 6months or less, close to the property, make sure apples to apples ie 3 bed/2bath--3/2 ; sq footage same (close) and close to same year built.5) Work on developing a team-- this will be dynamic at first..a) A good realtor 2) title person--help get comps 3) banker 4) loan personyeh contractors-- Im a general but a have a good eletrical. painter, tile, hvac, group-- maybe you be the general and find good subs--6) TO BE truly successful you MUST start a data base of Buyers and Sellers --KEY --Investors are buyers-- NETWORKING is another giant key.GOOD LUCK , get excited when you get discourage--thats a hill you just climbed over --that much closer to you GOAL....

I have let one tenant paint and it was only because she is a professional painter and she showed me the color she wanted to paint the room before painting it.I went in to see her work about a week after she moved in and saw a caulk gun laying on the floor and I thought I left my caulk gun in her apartment, then I realized my caulk gun is orange and the one on the floor was yellow.

Brian,Experience as a painter...not really.

I just want to let everyone know my Family has been painting contractors for 100 years. I was raised around painting all my life and owned a successful painting business. If I can help anyone, FOR FREE< ask away...

Do i have to receive 3 quotes from handymen/painter before I take $$$ from their deposit?
