I would LO to purchase myself (perusing 'expireds,' and FSBOs that have languished for 6+ months,in particular) in Phoenix metro, while reselling the abode in Portland, ASAP.

We’re planning on finishing the basement which will add a full bathroom, summer kitchen, door to outside, living room area, and French drain with sump pump (sealing the walls too).

(Jay) French, he's a GC and the company he runs is 360 contractor services out of Rock Hill SC.  

The room also has a French door to the outside, that guess what,didn't have a key for it either.

After making my first trip down there last October, I would certainly be interested in the French and Garden districts for STR.

you are assigning a LO to someone else?

One restaurant in the ghetto will serve you a hamburger, french fries and a soda for X dollars.Another restaurant in a nicer neighborhood serves you a steak, baked potato and a glass of wine for less money.Motels are the hamburger place, I'm the steak place. 

Another solution Ive strongly considered is...installing a french drain some 4ft below grade, and then extending my roof out a bit.

I've been using a lot of SW Light French Grey and SW Agreeable Grey in my properties lately and buyers seem to really like it.

As my high school French teacher used to say: "Ne pas."
