Prioritize properties with strong rental potential and set aside reserves to handle unexpected costs.Finally, familiarize yourself with tenant laws in your target market, especially in Portland, and consult a real estate-savvy CPA for tax efficiency and legal considerations.

Obviously this may vary by market but we would not accept partial payments as it does make things more challenging legally if you need to evict them.

Quote from @Jim Bryant: This is why it's important to understand how the legal system works before investing in an area.

Especially in an area where it’s legal.

They can and will fine you heavily and order you to remove it completely if you don't go to them first and ask for an inspection and do what they want to make it legal and permitted.Don't try to "get away with it".Be a businessman and fix the problem the right way.

You could easily niche into that via even just the legal realm and would probably never have to step outside of it.

They aren't looking for 10% returns and they probably love the idea of getting some cash legally out of Canada.I got into Costa Rica because of the country (it's awesome), what's happening to real estate prices there and in the US (they are nuts here) and the amount of development that's happening around Potrero, the technology advancements in the STR industry, proximity to the beach etc.

While it might feel counterintuitive, it can sometimes save you the time and cost of a legal eviction.I’d love to hear from others in the forum..Have you found any creative or cost-effective ways to navigate eviction challenges?

For example, I have my house, am building a legal JADU, but later down the road I decide to rent my entire house and buy another primary residence.
