Portland Multi-Family Homes

The Portland Duplex Market

Portland is fortunate to have many different types of multi-family properties in nearly every popular area of the city. In some cities duplexes are concentrated in specific areas, but the planners in Portland included multi-family properties everywhere which creates a good market for investors. Also many historic homes in Portland have been divided into duplexes and triplexes over the years.

Portland is not an inexpensive city though, and the housing prices reflect that. If you're looking for a place that's new or ready to rent you'll have to pay a premium. But since rents are high as well you'll start recouping your investment from the first month. If you're looking for a sweat equity opportunity we can help you find those too throughout the city.

Types of Portland Duplexes

Because of the quantity of multi-family homes throughout Portland we have a really diverse selection of duplexes and multi-family homes. You'll find older Victorians in NW and East Portland that have been divided into duplexes. There are new construction duplexes scattered around the North side and King neighborhoods.

Owning & Managing a Portland Duplex

Real estate investing is popular because technically you are making money while you sleep. And it's true that the rental income, property appreciation and tax benefits flow through to you as the owner even while you're asleep. But it still takes work to manage a multi-family property, and if you buy the wrong one for your needs you could end up with a part- time job that doesn't pay nearly as much as you thought it would.
