The Off-Market Real Estate Hustle | Portland News
Description
Those “off-market” garage-made signs? They’re not just random flyers—they’re a sneaky real estate hustle. Investors target desperate homeowners, lock up contracts at low prices, then flip them to buyers willing to pay more before the deal expires. It’s called wholesaling, often sold as a get-rich-quick scheme. These signs mimic “we buy houses” flyers, designed to look like honest, personal offers to lure unsuspecting sellers. In places like Oregon, it’s regulated—you need to register, pay a fee, and prove you’ve graduated high school. But legality doesn’t erase the ethics: it’s a business that pretends to be a neighborhood favor, all to profit from people’s desperation.
