So my experience was that I had less than a 1% chance of getting a tenant I liked, and maybe a 4% chance of getting one that was not a major problem, and a 95% chance of a tenant who would cause all kinds of problems and drive me completely crazy.For me getting a phone call in the middle of the night with someone screaming about their toilet not working is just not something I can live with, but if that type of thing does not bother you, and you can go on day after day and not let it get to you.

I've been screaming bubble for years, doesn't mean I'm unprepared, panicking, or even fully out of the market.

****Thank You, Kate

Hi @James Evertson, yes @Kate Moreland was a great fit with my brokerage as she is a fellow investor and looking for a place that fits her goals as an agent at the moment (no desk fees, sales quotas, office time, etc).

@Kate Shaw.

They lived there in relative peace for almost 3yrs until the downstairs tenant’s sister screamed at the upstairs tenant for playing music too loudly one day two months ago.

@Kate Johnson Thank you for your response.

Like I said rents in Oregon if you look back were flat for a good 10 years.. there was signing bonus's and rent decreases.. not many if any rent increases the increases were the last 5 years and in some areas they were substantial like 50% in 3 to 4 years.this led to a back lash in the city of Portlandia so now you have all these people screaming for rent control and you have the law that did pass were you have to pay 4500 to terminate a lease.. and other sundry items..

I do go with my gut as well in these circumstances and this one -- while certainly odd -- isn't screaming out to decline to me.But yes, please share and let us know how it turns out :)PS....I won't turn on instant book ever because I want that time to gut-check.
