You need a place to live no matter what, and I can't imagine rents are very cheap in Portland, so you're usually better off at least having the benefits of a little tax writeoff and mortgage paydown while you own, plus being able to paint the walls the colors you want, etc.I'd hang tight if I were you, see if your market goes up a bit more over the next few years (which I personally believe many will, just my professional opinion,) and try to refi and dump your mortgage insurance (assuming you have it) as soon as possible.In the meantime, hang onto your $50,000, keep growing it, and wait for the right deal.

I know this because I happen to be born and raised in in some of the hottest areas in the city right now.Since I'm black and from these areas, I personally  have no problem renting to low income people,  or people of color.

There should be various color codes for different types of zoning or possibly a number system for residential, industrial, retail, multifamily, etc.

Since the roof line is kind of funky maybe you can get away with using multiple paint colors on the siding.

Thanks for your help.How was your fall color this year?

Not all of the floor was affected, but because the flooring is espresso colored, I'm not at all sure I can order a batch for replacement that will match the boards that are unaffected. 

The cylinder for this key is a different color that looks good with our standard color handsets. 

My strategy/advice would be to take one vacant unit and renovate it with a light-colored luxury vinyl (waterproof so it can go in kitchens and bathrooms), repaint and do a few small improvements in the unit and try to get a substantial rent increase.

They aren't great but they aren't terrible id say they are usable,the color is white.

You don't waste your time showing one person who gets there and  decides they don't like the paint color.
