You can blow all kinds of expendable income on things like craft beer, avocado toast, hot yoga and oxygen bars.

I've also had good luck asking my key vendors (like my cabinet person) for GCs that he finds to be masters of their craft . . . this has led to more quality contractors in my sphere AND they tend to work well together.

Hearing that someone made $50K from a flip in less than 6 months may seem cool, but learning the craft, putting in the blood, sweat and tears and making over $50K/month is even cooler.

@Peter Craft... that's fantastic!

So if you spend hours honing your craft your bound to be successful(with proper mentors). 

You have easy access to beaches, mountains (skiing and hiking), awesome restaurants (Portland was named 2018 Restaurant City of the Year by Bon Appetit in 2018), a fantastic craft beer scene, far less traffic than found in some of the other states and also affordable!

These are some of the factors that will determine what the lease will look like and a good commercial lawyers will know how to efficiently craft a lease that will suit your circumstances.

Once everything is in place (either if the current lease is well laid out or if you craft a new one), HOLD THE LINE.

@Dave Hurt looks great and you know I'm foaming at the mouth waiting to get a craft beer and burger!

They helped craft a letter since I really didn't have any interaction with the tenants, another crazy condition with the last PM.
