Hi BP friends,I'm advertising my first single family rental in Portland, OR and am having trouble adapting Cozy.co to the new FAIR ordinance regulations.

How are you adapting your strategy?

Either adapt to what the investors needs and learn to do work for cheaper by saving on materials and labor, or stick to the people willing to pay for your quality work.

Get some pro photos, turn on all the lights and open all windows, get maximum amount of light(Look up "adaptive realty" they are able to get top rents from their units with their style)4.

Student housing done right can work much better than this model.the tenant pool was the very bottom of the barrel if they don't live here they live in one of those motels that rents rooms by the week...great in theory but to get those people to pay its like you said you would either need a lot of them and then be highly organized and local to make it come close to working.Just hard in my mind to put strangers into such close quarters.. with Students that's different they can adapt to anything.

It's important to be flexible and adaptable in your approach as you gain more experience in the real estate business.

I have not totally adapted to that playing field. 

However, with different times, one can adapt, and maybe try build to a rent model and make tons of equity as a return instead of cash flow.

This is normal so you'll need to adapt or sell elsewhere.

This includes finding tenants, maintaining the property, and handling financial aspects.Consider Professional Help: Depending on your investment strategy and time availability, you may want to hire property managers or real estate investment advisors.Learn and Adapt: Real estate investment is a continuous learning process.
