The new law is nuanced to say the least, but it definitely aint no LA/San Fran rent control policy. 

It is one thing to be more communicative, it's another thing to completely telegraph your move to the tenant (I'm not 100% clear on if Oregon is more of a tenant-friendly state as far as Oregon housing laws go, but even by taking them to coffee and letting them know you'll be proceeding with evicting, prior to serving an actual eviction notice, just seems ill-advised). 

Maybe there is a way you could pay and have it done and have the warranty company reimburse you according to their policies. 

Chris, a Homeowners and/or Landlord policy is not the right fit for flipping. 

And we have the rental insurance and the umbrella policy on us.( P.S. 

Even though the agent indicated that all units were renovated, I asked to see pictures and perform a walk-through of the unit prior to submitting an offer. 

You want to present yourself professional, very freindly and approachable, yet firm to your lease and policy.

I have tenants that live in one of my properties that moved in prior to 12/21/12. 

@John HyunThere are several considerations that can go into the analysis of whether you need an LLC or whether a large insurance policy will suffice.

Plus you would likely have to increase your hazard/fire policy premium, and it may also increase your property taxes if the assessor drives by and sees those nice panels.If their desire is to "go green" regardless of paying more money, many area utilities will offer customers the ability to purchase some or all of their electricity from renewable sources.
