So check the various data points yourself when it comes to infections.

Our buyers ( at least in our community) are either empty nesters or sold a home with a bunch of equity in Portland proper and want out of the social issues that are infecting mainly north Portland we have 3 from North Portland who bought and moved out to Canby  :)  WE are not getting the fHA younger family buyer although we have some families sure.. but not the low down payment max leverage buyers.So people start doing what happened in CA and Atlanta and Dallas they move out of the city centers and become commuters or as stated are retired or semi retired or  we do have some that are now working from home.

Not wanting strangers who may or may not be infected  and wanting to protect your young child and yourself I would argue is very reasonable.

It infects just about every new investor. 

Brandon Clark an easy test is to take a sharp object and press it against the suspected infected area.

Living here I only know one person who was infected and the effects were mild.

For the same reason that kids get sick over the weekend.My daughter used to get ear infections, and they NEVER happened on weekdays, always Sat. night or Sunday.

A few weeks ago I received a letter from the city stating that they found an ash tree on one of my properties infected with Emerald Ash Borer.

I talked to a Vet today who did some work for me and he said that he tried to buy a house down the street and his wife ended up in the hospital because she got a viral infection from MOLD which is common here in Florida.

Always do the math analysis and try to look at the prospective projects before making an offer or at least have a clause in the sales contract that allows you the time to make a detailed infection and possibly back out of the deal without a penalty that will hurt you too much.Good luck to both of you!
