Heck, I want to make enough on rental properties so I can drive an Aston Martin daily !

Food for thought.

Just food for thought.

We have friends (an older couple) who decided on one & an attorney friend who picked up a G.Dane pup earlier this year.The first couple now have an issue with the food & Vet bills as they are retired.Now their neighbors are upset because of the incessant thunderous barking.

It can also offset the expenses of having to pay for your loved ones or even yourself if you find yourself in a position of needing additional assistance in your daily life.

Before you spend hundreds, I would buy some food grade diatomaceous earth and apply it to the entire unit - bed frames, mattresses, furniture, floors, electrical outlets, and anywhere else the bed bugs will nest (need to reapply for a few weeks).

I would agree that the rental market took a slight hit with the new housing that went up but that also included the removal of mansion park which housed a good amount of students (and I think that will be the future site of new housing - which is directly across main st from landmark) Other than that I know there are plans to expand the engineering building and various other sites at the Technology campus area down 322 eventually.I've heard that the local neighborhoods on the back side of campus and now behind the new boulevard is a hotspot right now - with new food and retail venues going in and being walking distance to everything it seems to be a good target area.

I'm just glad the root powder and miracle grow applied to my stubs daily grew them back!  

We host 3 meetings a month (1-3rd Mondays at Lucky Lab in Multnomah Village) and have a group of members doing deals on a daily basis in the Portland market. http://myrarebird.com/events/

Depending on the venue some might require you to buy food/drink if at a restaurant, but not all.
