That's encouraging news!!

One thing to consider is that I don't believe it is technically legal to VRBO/AirBNB. http://kutv.com/news/get-gephardt/air-bnb-rentals-...I did have a friend who used his house as a winter ski rental and seemed to have good success with it.

These abandoned "Blight" homes have been in the news paper, in front of city council and even had laws trying to force owners or lien holders to do something with the property.

Here is the rundown:http://www.homebuyinginstitute.com/news/hud-issues-fha-flipping-rules-626/

Dimitry Fomichenko that is great news.

I hope to hear similar good news about all my props and tenants in the coming days.

Interestingly, look at everybody jumping to the tenant's defense on the Portland news site KGW and blaming the situation on the landlord.http://www.kgw.com/news/tenants-leave-behind-25-tons-of-trash-at-portland-rental-home/177131842

I just saw this article on Yahoo regarding where rents are rising the fastest and thought I'd share:http://finance.yahoo.com/news/cities-where-rent-ri...I agree with the article that it isn't really a great measurement of what is really happening in an area because it is a small sampling, but might help answer some of the questions posted here along the lines of, "What city is best to invest in?" 

This is just one article and there's no doubt this it's not the whole story, but this just came out at the top of my search for news.
