I have a duplex (added ADU-- yes PDX is very accommodating) in SE PDX that appreciated nicely and is getting great rental income.

My question is:Would you upgrade the electric to accommodate an air conditioner?

Have a comprehensive lease, and be sure the tenants know what's in it and have a copy.

I have been doing some research, and it seems that if the tenant asks for their rent due date to be changed to coincide with the day they should receive their disability check, then that's considered "reasonable accommodation" under the Fair Housing Act.A judge may consider that PM did not give "reasonable accommodation" to tenant if it went to court.

Often, simply saying that income, credit and past housing history must be acceptable let's the duds know they won't be leasing there.The more you say in public about you qualifying requirements, the more you box yourself in in making accommodations for tenants you would like to rent to.

If you have investors that want to earn immediate gains then go find a property to flip.Then you can continue to look for new investors geared towards wanting an income stream as opposed to a relatively shorter term gain.Finding investors who trust you is hard enough and since it appears you may have you should consider altering your investment strategy to accommodate their needs and wants.

This wasn't anything too comprehensive, just the general stuff: +/- 20% square footage, same stories, close to the same year built, within half a mile, within the past 3-6 months, all that jazz.For some reason, though, their numbers are coming in at anywhere from $102,000-133,000.

Cash reserves can accommodate periods of vacancy, and properties which had significant cash flow in the beginning will probably retain some cash flow even in a down market.

I would like something comprehensive that shows buses, trolleys and subway or failing that, shows buses separately.

I have a contract on a house.  Buyer asked for 30 days.  Being my first contract, I did not know that I had to ask the lender if this was possible - so I said yes.  Mortgage Co said they are trying to speed it along [...
