For us in the PDX market we saw a little slow down in the fall but thats pretty much normal but the bigger builders are still buying land and still building at a pretty good clip..

And it means more work for people if the deal falls through.

“How come my tenant was awarded my property as compensation after they were injured falling out of a 20 foot tree I told them they had to trim?”

So, let's say "Johnny Slip-n-Fall" goes to attorney to file claim suite on the client exercising strategy I know. 

This is the breakdown:2 tenants on month to month leases ~$250-$350 less than market1 long term tenant (15yrs) is now on month to month lease and is paying $1500 less than marketAfter consulting with a couple of people and doing some research, it sounds like anything over a I should apply banking rent raise and submit a 60 day notice (all of these units fall into that category).

Getting started is a little more but at the moment I am down to .41 per a letter and I don't have to worry about falling behind on all my other work.

If you have any tips for me as well that would be much appreciated (just bought my first STR this fall and the quad in the spring will be my first LTR). 

I have 3 or 4 similar investments that fall into this same situation (muli-family syndications, etc.), so I don't think that suspending payments is unusual in this economic climate, nor by itself an indication of malfeasance.

Rents could continue to fall, and the cost of labor rise dramatically.https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/19/economy/new-home-undocumented...

Cutting down on gov't spending and the pulling jobs back into the US should help offset some of the tariffs, but it will come down to which items exactly do get tariffs put on them and to what degree the tariffs are (10%/20%/50%).Overall, my guess is that rates will go down for early next year, rise during the middle quarter-third of the year, then fall slowly afterwards.
