I've been a landlord in Portland for a few years and I'm also an interior designer.

My agent found me a full duplex that has had the interior completely renovated for $350k, the larger side has a 1 year lease for $1,450 a month which would leave me paying $860 a month for my side if I don't rent out the other bedroom.

Hello BP community - I'm reaching out with a question following a series of events (some mold related) that has led to 3 of 4 college tenants in my SFR having their parents request release from their lease 3 months early due to perceived air quality concerns.Background (University rental in MN - lease started Jun 17 with 4 college roommate - parents cosigned and pay rent):- In Sep 17 we had a minor roof leak that was corrected immediately (flashing)after notification with only minor paint damage and no sign of mold (from the attic or interior wall). - In Nov 17 tenant's parents (these are college students) call my property manager to report a broken dryer and mold growth in the basement laundry room, a bedroom above the laundry room, and in the bathroom.

  - The interior of the house looks nice, but in the first couple shots the grass on the hill doesn't look so great-- distracting to the eye.   

Cosmetic to the interior.

As far as I can tell, the interiors are in good condition.

What is the condition of the interior?

He's the original owner of a 1972 SFR house in San Jose, never remodeled or finished on the interior. 

Will be doing a full rehab to include HVAC, roof, interior cosmetics.
