We have a Chicago general contracting business, and handling the field operations is a ridiculously heavy lift.As far as finding customers I think you'll have some good success with gorillia marking at some of the local investor meetups.

Consider different strategies like mid and short term rentals as I believe the Portland area would allow for success in both (although I have heard Portland proper is tough on STRs).Best of luck!

I can say from having taught classes on these loans that your contractor will be the biggest key to your success.

I am looking for advice from seasoned house flippers, both in my local market and otherwise with a track record of success; or even with sound wisdom that can be applied to this potential deal.

What are your goals for 2025 in real estate? Getting started, acquiring more, 1031, or unloading? I'm interested to hear about this due to rate hikes and optimism in the real estate world coming in the year ahead!

A recent divorce can cause serious credit issues and I've had success with a tenant in this situation.
