In this episode of the REalized Gains Podcast, Steven Tran and Jordan Lee sit down with Mike Nuss (Rarebird, Investor Lab, Deal Junkies) for a deep dive into Portland real estate development, middle housing, and why the future of housing in Oregon is being shaped by zoning code, cost-to-build realities, and market psychology. Mike shares his journey from real estate appraisal to development, lessons from the Great Recession and a failed partnership, and why he built businesses around education-driven investing. Then we get tactical: how Rarebird evaluates projects, why cottage clusters and smaller detached homes can be an affordability solution (without government subsidy), and what most investors misunderstand about cash flow vs. P&L vs. balance sheet. You’ll also hear Mike’s perspective on: Why “highest and best use” and zoning code drive everything What a “cottage cluster” actually is (and why neighbors push back) Build-to-sell vs. build-to-rent underwriting in today’s market How interest rates changed the affordability equation Why most developers fail: running out of money + misjudging absorption Scaling with systems like EOS / Traction and the “right people, right seats” concept If you’re investing in Oregon, curious about Portland infill, or trying to understand what middle housing laws mean for your lot — this one is packed.
