@Michael Jones  these are special over lay zones that the powers to be have placed on land in the PDX area to encourage as high of density as possible in the city while protecting and saving the precious farm land and timber land from massive CA type sprawl.. plus the city see's it as affordable housing.

if you do not have a real estate license I think you may be having a potential problem.

My suggestion would be have a good idea of the neighborhood values.  

I would be having the risk of the STR without the financial benefit.  

I seem to be having the same problem I am a wholesaler but trying to find real end cash buyers is like finding a needle in a hay stack I keep getting wholesalers as well.

I figured that most wouldn't behave in such a way, but it does make sense to get it under contract first to lock it down.

You should not be having to take them to court.

Not everyone has the same risk appetite and this is not a conversation you want to be having when you're going through a rough patch.  

I did learn...from the mistakes of other managers and board members, when a applicant is approved to live in the unit, ultimately the manager is responsible how the tenant behaves, pays rent, and is a good person.I would like to know what is the steps to enter into the apartment complex sector?

I would be having serious discussions about the management companies decision and taking steps to remove excessive people (not on the original lease).
