When it comes to investment properties, many fellow investors are looking all over Oregon, and further for that matter. Long time clients of mine were looking for 3 multifamily properties in Oregon to invest in after selling a building here in Portland. Ideally, they wanted properties close to home, which became Bend as of last year. Alternatively, they were okay with somewhere they liked to travel. The first one they picked up was a triplex in Eugene. Both clients went to the University of Oregon. They like to travel back for football games, and other stuff on campus. So, having something there felt right.
The next property was a duplex in Prineville, OR. They didn’t travel there often, but it was close to home. That coupled with being a great market for rentals right now, made it a good option. After closing, they listed a vacant unit for rent and received 75 applications.
The last property was just down the road in Bend. While this solid fourplex needed some work, it had great tenants, and would be a good one to hold onto over the years.

He/Him
Meet Bobby Curtis. Buying agent. Listing agent. Renovator.
A down-to-earth Midwesterner, Bobby graduated from the University of Michigan, and headed to Portland in 2004. He began a career in the pharmaceutical industry focusing on sales, marketing, and consulting. In those five years, he was even lucky enough to roam around Europe for short assignment in Switzerland. When he came back to Portland he took some time to discover what he was really interested in. Homes. More specifically, architecture, restoration, and entrepreneurship. After getting his real estate license in 2011, he purchased his first house in Portland to restore, redesign, then sell. Bobby rolled up his sleeves and started in on what would become his real career interest – transforming distressed houses into stand out homes by discovering the beauty of each unique property. Since that time Bobby has bought and restored several houses each year in Portland, both large and small, with great success. Armed with extensive first-hand knowledge of restoration, Bobby offers his clients an exceptional eye to pinpoint property potential and value. Whether you are searching for a complete fixer property, or a shining, buttoned-up stunner, he is skilled and enjoys guiding clients through the process of finding the perfect place. If you are selling your home or investment property, Bobby showcases his clients homes like he was selling his own. That kind of attention to detail will present all of the property’s best features. It's because he has bought and sold properties of his own each year, that he better understands what it’s like to be in his clients shoes, and to navigate through the current real estate market. As an experienced broker and professional, Bobby is able to negotiate the best price and terms for his clients. If you’re looking to get a sneak peak of Bobby in action, you can watch him on an episode of First Time Flippers on the DIY Network, where he helped his mom flip her first house. Or you can catch him on KATU’s Afternoon Live daytime talk show once a month, discussing Portland Real Estate and House Restoration.
