I’ve combed through a year’s worth of police reports and found no phone record from the property.

We want copies of leases and spend hours combing through the intricate details; we want to know the seller’s  “motivation”, we want to know long term economic forecasts for the community, the state, the U.S.  

Look for neighborhoods where there are lots of people with bad hats and bad facial hair.

You have $606 after tax dollars to spend on the rest of life's expenses, including investing, buying flowers for your significant other, cell phone bill, water/electric/vehicle expense/food/childcare/hair cuts/vacation. 

He them procede to tell me it had hair line crack and that possibly the water was leaking from there and that it was a wear and tear because those pans only last so long. 

I am in Portland as well it can be a hair tricky to manage there are some rules about asking tenants to leave there are also limits on rent increases see below: https://www.portland.gov/phb/rental-services/renter-relocation-assistance#toc-when-is-a-renter-eligible-for-relocation-assistance-Have you already purchased the property?

It gets the customer out of my hair during construction.  

Do it yourself, learn as much as you can, seek out a grey hair mentor who will advise you for a cup of coffee.  

I'm fine with combing the market for deals, just trying to find a way to legally secure financing without a due on sale clause raining on my parade.

For the most part they don't want to write new business at all and they are all combing thru their books trying to non-renew anything they think may be an issue.
