You can attract some of those same tenants in outlying areas as well (think Nike/Intel)...biggest hurdles are future of landlord tenant law in Portland.

Start looking at markets and running numbers, then see what your financing needs to look like.In the words of Nike, just do it.

We have done the occasional swag (Nike golf shirts, Underarmor Pullovers, pens, etc) but these are more promotional items from our marketing budget.We have done gift baskets for larger investors and don't underestimate the power of personalized handwritten notes/cards.The best "holiday gift" is the returns our investors receive (we are in the midst of 2 sales), but this year I am also thinking of a box of gourmet handmade pretzels dipped in chocolate, caramel and nuts that a small producer in the Philadelphia area makes (keeps with the Penn theme).

Apparently the tenant had a room full collection of Nike Air Jordan worth close to $200K.

It’s common sense but some folks would rather spend that money each month on cigarettes and booze clothes eating out nikes etc, .

I think this will look more like the Nike swoosh.  

Airline stocks, oil, retailers, and value equities such as Nike, Uber and McDonalds to name a few!

I think Portland has a fairly strong and diverseeconomy, big and strong employers are Nike and Intel.

a U, V, nike shape, or something different??

So I just want to encourage the other newbies, treat this thing like Nike and JUST DO IT!
