Right now, we only have a couple of rental properties; they were turnkey investments that my business partner had before I joined him.A bit of advice that might seem obvious but often gets overlooked: stay very organized.

Quote from @John Hu: whatever you do.. stay away from Jefferson Park... especially areas south of the blue line...

Preferably stay for one year and find another house.

I have no reason to stay in Gilbert, other than it's where my family lives currently, so it's nice to be close. 

Therefore, I don't have definite plans for how long I'll stay in Oregon, and consider the possibility of someday returning to the Austin area.

I think it would be better just to stay on good terms and let him know you will contact him when you are ready to sell.

So that has been my "next action step" to wait for a clog to happen again and have him camera it, but it has now been almost 1.5 years with no incidents.TLDR: There is a chance that the bottom bathroom tub/toilet could fill with sewage during a guest stay, but I am hopeful that the next time it happens will be the last.

I just got done making a YT video on the subject, so it's fresh on my mind.

Meet other investors in your area and stay in touch with them; you can ask them questions that might prevent problems.Best to you!

Short term rentals are legal when the host is living in the same apartment as the guests and there are no more than 2 guests staying with the host."
