Market Trend

Rent growth has moderated after strong pandemic-era gains. Oregon's statewide rent control (7% + CPI cap) limits upside on value-add plays. The Pearl District and close-in SE remain the highest-rent submarkets. Beaverton and Hillsboro benefit from Intel and Nike presence.

Lender Notes

Rent control impacts underwriting on repositioning deals. 1.25x DSCR standard. Lenders factor in limited rent growth potential.
