And the downtown gentrified trendy areas will continue to be a temporary stop over in the lifestyle of the millenials.  

I'm happy with what that temporary sacrifice has enabled for me.Some people say I'm "lucky" to be in the position I'm in now. 

I did find temporary work that helped buffer the finances, but I still had to dip into my savings a bit.Things are finally starting to ramp back up for my “old” career, and things are looking up again.

I have seen a few people buy via proxy, by that I mean they have a local purchase the land and put a cheap temporary house on it, then they can purchase outside the restriction. 

I used a smaller bank, Old National because they had the best rates, but I know the bigger banks (chase and boa) have tightened their requirements for HELOC loans and Wells Fargo have temporary stopped even offering them. 

I put a small ad in the local classifieds and shore enough the calls just started rolling in right from the first day that they ran it.

Bonding around the lien is a temporary fix so you can sell the house, but ultimately, you still have to answer the mechanic lien, in the event that the contractor built the case and in court, both will need to go to arbitration and present their cases.

They have asked for a temporary residential lease for one week.

Hey Latricia,As with alot of neighborhoods on the southside there are pockets that are good and not so good even in the areas that you mentioned..I would say you need a realtor who is familiar with the south side or research the blocks of the properties you are interested in..But to answer your question specifically, woodlawn is nice from cottage groove going east to the lake..A lot of rehabbing and new development going on...Also south shore, Avalon park, bridgeport, pockets of chatham and gresham and Washington heights..Hope this was helpful..Let me know if you need any further assistance!..

I've also personally looked into them on the South Shore before (Poipu) where you generally have a good occupancy rate but there are a lot of fees that go into running them and some risks as well.
