Not since Dodd-Frank reared its ugly head.

They both have rear exists as well so it sounds like it is all up to the county.

I typically have under $20k in a Portland home and I typically get around $600 for a 2-3 bedroom home.I could soooo kick myself in the rear for not buying Germantown properties in 2009 :(

New tile around tub, refinished hardwoods, walls/ceilings/cabinets painted, and new doorframe for rear door.

The short answer is no, but it could end up biting you in the rear down the road.

A bookkeeper might get $15.00 an hour on a salary, you need to profit after taxes over that including employee expenses to be profitable.Most in RE are usually buying a job, see if your "earnings" are on par with similar job functions, you may be under paid!

We usually like a payback of <=5-years.As an example, we will be taking a 1.5 car garage and adjacent former laundry room at the rear of one of our properties, adding a second story, with the result of an additional 2 - 3 bedroom unit (pending on the floor plan).  

In this case, that band gets even more narrow, so I would want to be sure that I was making good money on the front end to absorb that difficulty on the rear end.I would probably do some checking on the zoning issue.

I think NIMBY rears its head big time.Not to mention your neighbors holy cow  I can just see the hugs and kiss's you will get when you implement this in your ADU and based on my working with these folks through the years its not a pretty picture no matter how much you do for themand right now in Portland frankly anyone who wants to work can get a job in 24 hours.

Another thing that bites people in the rear end with a situation like this is that transfers/deposits do not time up properly.
