I was able to wash all the laundry overnight before we had to head to WSU and get rolling.Plus someone stole one of the small heaters I keep in the closets for winter guests if they need extra heat upstairs....dammit....

If you have a pool will it be heated and if so gas or electric?

It hols on 80.I told the tenant not to lower it that low, becausing doing so will over heat it and cause it o malfunction.if the AC goes out due to them not listening will they be responsible for repairs?

That thread got pretty heated but it showed me some incites.

The $30,000 will just about cover the entire mini-split installation and at the end of it the well have fully separated heating that the residents can now pay for.

Last month I warned you of the coming heat.

Much like your property, my unit didn't have any central air or heating. 

In this heat have lots of cold bottled water for the guys .   

During this heat wave the temperature on 2nd floor has been in the upper 70s and even hit 80.

As a hard money lender who works with many investors in the Portland area, I can share some insights on maintenance costs for multifamily properties in this market, though individual experiences may vary:Lots of investors report a slight decrease in maintenance costs during winter months, bc of:- Fewer landscaping needs - Less wear and tear on HVAC systems (as heating is generally less intensive than summer cooling)- Reduced tenant turnover in winterWinter-specific issues can arise:- Potential roof repairs due to heavy rain or occasional snow- Gutter cleaning and maintenance to prevent water damage- Heating system repairs or maintenancePortland-specific factors:- The mild climate helps reduce extreme weather-related maintenance issues. - Older housing stock in some areas may require more upkeep. - Strict local regulations can also sometimes increase compliance-related maintenance costsCost-saving strategies I've seen help:- Preventative maintenance programs can help reduce overall costs obviously - Some investors report success with in-house maintenance teams for larger portfolios- Energy-efficient upgrades can help reduce utility costs in the long runYour specific costs will depend on factors like the age and condition of your properties, your management style, and the specific neighborhoods you're invested in, but hope this helps!
