Investing

Grow your portfolio one property at a time.

Succeeding as a real estate investor starts with good education and reliable representation. Whether you're buying your first rental or building a passive income portfolio, we'll help you run the numbers and make confident decisions.

What we help with

Ways to invest

Rental homes

Single-family homes and condos that rent well and hold their value. We look at rent comparisons, condition and the costs that eat into cash flow.

Duplexes to fourplexes

Properties with two to four units can often be bought with a residential loan. Live in one unit and rent the others, or hold the whole building as an investment.

ADUs

An accessory dwelling unit adds rental income or space for family. We help you find homes that already have one, or a lot with room to add one.

1031 exchanges

Sell an investment property and reinvest the proceeds into another to defer capital gains tax. The deadlines are strict: 45 days to identify a replacement and 180 days to close. We plan the timing with you and your exchange professional.

Fix-and-flips

We help you estimate the purchase price, repair budget, holding costs and resale value before you buy, so the math works before the work starts.

Mountain properties

Cabins and second homes around Mt. Hood. Rental rules vary by county and community, so we check what's allowed before you buy.
