Being a landlord is not an overnight get rich quick scheme.

I’m based in Portland, Oregon, where residential investing seems challenging due to landlord-unfriendly policies and negative cash flow on higher-quality properties.

I’ve got 31 units, and I’m sure there’s 4-5 other landlords with 15-50 units in my area.

I was just asking if any other landlords heard of them.

If you have a landlord policy, that's an easy way to get flagged by your lender.

Yes, long-term rental clients sometimes don't want short-term rental next door to them, but you are the owner and landlord and set those expectations up front so it's on the table before they lease.

It's an easier way to get your feet wet as a landlord without the stress of handling major renovations.

If a landlord was responsible for each replacement it would add up quickly.

The challenge was balancing the relationship between landlord/tenant and a personal/friendly relationship.
