I just wanted to see what the opinions/experience was of fellow BPer's were since I previously heard two different sides of the spectrum.  

@Isaac B.You’ve heard from both ends of the spectrum: the “what will it really hurt”/“is it worth the trouble and frustration in your life stressing about it” for so little difference camp (I’m in that camp) and also the camp that says “you both signed the lease, so do whatever you want as long as it’s covered under the lease” camp (who clearly don’t understand Portland rentals and aren’t going to be there to pay for the attorneys and damages you’ll owe after the fact if you try to force an issue).If the tenant isn’t willing to sign an agreement to show and take compensation for those showings then I wouldn’t push the issue right now.

Don't be overwhelmed by the number and spectrum of responses here.

Thank you everyone for your responses.This forum is awesome in getting feedback from both sides of the spectrum.

The point is that risk is a spectrum and someone is always taking more risk than you (and less).5.

YouTube that is.I was watching videos on real estate investing and this came up.On the other end of the real estate spectrum I have wasted too much time watching a prankster call landlords about issues like turning his living room into a swimming pool with a big liner and digging a basement from a ground-based apartment where he refused to allow the landlord entrance because it technically wasn't part of the apartment complex and was his.

I’d say I’m looking for properties all along the “B” class spectrum that will attract some middle class families and perhaps white collar millenials who haven’t saved enough to buy.

IF $850k is relatively expensive for your market then you may not like the prospective tenant-buyers you find.However selling using seller financing in a high interest rate environment can be attractive to the opposite end of the spectrum from the tenant-buyer side. 

Typical rent for comparable properties is between $725-800/mo, so I'm working off $750 for a round number on the lower end of the spectrum to hopefully attract a tenant without it sitting vacant for too long. 

Nearly every lender is focused on diversifying their offerings based on current events and allocations of capital to provide more products to more borrowers across the spectrum.
