Same experience even as an owner occupant of a duplex.

Currently most places operate in a grey area or require a simple permit (there are some toxic towns that we'd steer clear of).I am not a fan of those designs; they are very utilitarian and bland in appearance, and do not fit with what I would want for a cabin experience in the Appalachians.

I'd love to hear about your experiences or any tips you might have!

Hi @Ryan Dunn - the easiest is just to ask a few brokers that are active in the area, you can also simply attend a local real estate investors meetup (a lot of them are free or very inexpensive) and let folks know you're looking to offload your inventory. 

Find Pet Sitters & House Sits Worldwide | TrustedHousesitters.com It is a site that trades pet / house sitting for free housing.

It's always a good idea to have a clear strategy for lease renewals—I usually recommend a 90-day notice to stay on the safe side, though you have a bit more leeway outside of Portland.Feel free to reach out if you want to chat about more options or if you have any other questions!

It seems to me that based on neighbors and other peoples experiences with them, they will specifically target and take on people with criminal records and pets who don’t have a lot of options on rentals.

Please feel free to provide inputs.

I am a licensed agent in VA and have some experience in wholesaling.

They should have current experience and plenty of it2.
