Wholesalers/Investors in Oregon

[Aundre Short]

Hey! can any wholesalers in Oregon let me know how the market is doing?? How easy are deals to acquired? What are some things that investors are looking for? Which marketing methods are working best? Which areas are good for wholesale deals? Thank you so much!

Hello @Aundre Short, I am a realtor in Portland, not a wholesaler. I can still answer a couple of your questions. 

1. The market is doing great pretty much state wide. There has been a major amount of appreciation in Portland, surrounding cities, as well as around the I5 corridor. 

2. Deals are not easily acquired. I would say in general homeowners think they can get top dollar for their homes and the deals that fall into your lap are the ones no one wants. As in most desirable locations you have to work hard to get good deals. 

3. There is a wide spectrum of things that investors are looking for. Many coastal cities are in dire need of rentals so people investing there would like homes with good rental potential. 

4. From what I hear from wholesalers in the area mailers and highly visible signs in "up and coming" areas are what works best in terms of marketing. 

5. Portland Metro, Eugene, Corvallis, Coos Bay, Salem, Albany, Bend, etc.
