Multifamily Duplex In Portland

Here’s an example of a duplex that was for sale in Portland that I thought was a great long term investment.

  • 1950s side by side 2 BR/1 BA multifamily (duplex) with Tuck-under garages.
  • It was already vacant and in extreme disrepair when we bought it.
  • NE Portland- Alberta Arts area. 
  • Current 2 Bedroom rentals are roughly $1600-$2200
  • Current 3 Bedroom rentals are roughly $2500-$3000/month. 
  • We decided to finish the lower level, adding additional bath, bedroom, and bonus living space. Each unit will now be 3 BR/ 2 BA.
    • Better use of space (more people can live in the property)
    • By adding this additional finished space, it will bring in more rental income to cover the cost of the renovation work 
    • That extra monthly income will pay for the additional renovation work over 8-10 years.
  • By updating everything, there will be few if any large maintenance expenses within the first 7 years. This makes profit and loss a little more predictable.
