The intention of this group is meeting with others interested in real estate investments. We can discuss purchasing multi units or fixer uppers to flip or rent. Pros and cons of flipping vs holding investment properties, what to look for in properties that make them worth the investment, etc.
Members are encouraged to suggest topics for discussion at meetings. We can help each other evaluate properties, discuss up and coming neighborhoods in the Greater Portland area - or those getting overpriced so it's time to look for the next market to invest in. We can also look at 1031 exchanges and other tax related issues, legal entities and issues, the benefits of being an owner occupier while renovating and being prepared for ALL the expenses you'll be faced with when investing. Don't forget to set aside maintenance fees!
Concerned about being a landlord? Let's talk about the pros and cons, what makes a good lease and how to get and research tenants. Don't think it's for you, how about a management company?
While this is primarily for those new to investing in real estate, experienced investors are welcome to come and offer the wisdom of their experience.
