🏠 Portland landlords: how much of your rent actually stays in your pocket?

Between mortgage payments, repairs, vacancies, and operating costs, gross rent rarely equals real profit.

Kerr Properties, Inc. shows how cash flow analysis leads to smarter decisions.

✅ Track every expense, not just the monthly rent
✅ Run financing numbers before you buy, not after
✅ Competitive pricing keeps vacancies short
✅ Small recurring costs add up, so review them often
✅ A reserve fund keeps surprise repairs from hurting cash flow

💡 Know your numbers, and your next move gets clearer.

Kerr Properties, Inc. helps Portland owners boost income with expert leasing, rent collection, and reporting. 📊

We are so sad to hear this.

2 October 2026

Dear customers, friends, neighbors, and partners,

Our hearts are very heavy today. We are super, super sad to share this news. Our team will close Flavours of India on October 8th. We are leaving due to family medical issues.

It breaks our hearts to leave. We have had six glorious years in the Rockwood community. We loved our journey from the Gresham Food Carts to Rockwood Market Hall and our venture at Sandy Food Carts in-between.

To our wonderful and amazing customers, THANK YOU. Whether you came in person, ordered online, or called by phone, we appreciate you. You could have chosen many other places to fill your tummy. Thank you for choosing us. You allowed us to give back to our neighbors and make a difference in people’s lives. Our mission from the beginning was to give back and make a difference. We hope we have done that and then some.

We also send a huge thank you to our amazing vendors and consultants who have supplied us with goods, services, and wisdom on this glorious journey.

We will deeply miss this community. We loved helping out through our volunteer work, donations, and give-back days. If our team touched your family or a non-profit you care about, please tell us. We want to hear your stories.

This is your last week to visit Flavours of India. Please gather your family and come enjoy our food. Come say hello and come say goodbye. Give us a smile and share a memory with us.

Please let us know you loved us by visiting one or two more times before we turn out the lights. We hope to see you before we go.

With our deepest gratitude and love,

Sandra Mondal and the Team at Flavours of India

Our friends at Armadas Exterior LLC are the people to call when you have roofing, gutter, siding and solar panel needs!

Some of our customers take the Armadas referral program more seriously than others. 😂

Know somebody who needs a new roof or siding? Send them our way. If your referral books their roofing or siding project with Armadas Exterior, we'll send you $300.

You don't actually have to drag them to our truck.
We'd prefer that you didn't.

But we do appreciate the enthusiasm.
