I understand the desire to protect vulnerable residents, but punishing those very people and entrepreneurs who want to increase housing supply in Portland is not going to help anyone.  

The major cons include high property taxes, difficulty finding positive cash flow (especially when using property management), and slow rent growth due to, among other things, rising supply of multifamily units being developed all around town.

So, with high demand and a fixed/limited supply of real estate, I'd expect Cedar Park to do better than the Pioneer Crossing area in appreciation and rent growth when buying a resale home over the near and middle terms.

These two ideas will balance themselves out and so we’ll still end up with housing demand outpacing supply. 

If they pay for advertising, paper supplies, handyman, it may pay off. 

For less than $300 my out of state inspector in MN spent almost 3 hours and supplied a 30 page report taking more than 30 pictures.

Hi,My question is:Do I have to supply window treatments (blinds, verticals, etc) in my rental or is it up to the tenant?

This of course coming at a time when the supply of SF seems to be flying off the shelf. 

NOT at the local office supply store.I would recommend looking for a local real estate or landlord association and seeing if their membership fee includes all the paperwork you need (in electronic form). 

And where can I find the correct contract/forms needed, is this something the attorney will supply, or something I can provide and they can look over and use?
