Rent control. 

This is somewhat more risky these days with the annual pushes by tenant activists for statewide rent control.   

I don't love letting folks view when an existing tenant is there because it is not a controlled environment, however if you have had a recent inspection of the property and you know it shows well and the tenant is amendable then "GREAT".I would add that since your tenant is vacating early, they are still financially responsible for the lease until end of term.

Having control of all aspects of esthetics down to where, when and how the homes are set will give your tiny village a more solid, planned appearance and comfortable layout.Oregon offers many opportunities that are not widely advertised.

For the existing home: I have to install a separate heater that is thermostatically controlled from inside the apartment - I found a nifty little unit that will do the trick for under $300.

I would advise to be a little more precise in what you are looking for in terms of approaching someone for a partnership. 

Much, if not most of the gain from $27,000 to $100,000 was due to inflation, which you and I have no control over and are taxed as if it is real money going into our pocket.

Of course, this is all fully disclosed in the lease and my policies.I also have a policy against animals owned for less than one year (puppies, kittens, or newly adopted animals) because those are the most likely to cause damage.EDIT: to be more precise, I would not allow the tenant to stay with the animal.

It's out of control, just like looters stealing $900 worth of merchandise from a store with no repercussions. 

Some tenants (the good ones) understand things happen beyond your control.
