The state of Oregon and the city of Eugene both have complex and unforgiving regulations that most often favor the tenant, so it is important that you learn about these laws so that you can make strategic choices now that avoid pitfalls later.Fortunately,  the Oregon Rental Housing Association at the state level and the Rental Owners Association of Lane county at the local level can provide you with excellent resources. 

I'm curious if you have considered approaching local non profits that might want a private partner.
