Fix and flip loans in Oregon fund acquisition plus renovation on a single interest-only bridge sized to after-repair value (ARV), not your tax return. The exit is resale — buy distressed, rehab on draws, list into Portland demand, and repay the bridge from proceeds.
Fix-and-flip economics in Oregon
Margin is made on the buy and protected on the timeline. Two Oregon cost lines bite flip margin: holding-period property tax at an effective ~0.93% (Measure 50 caps assessed-value growth below market) and state income tax on the gain (~4.75%–9.9%). Model both before you commit to ARV.
