6 unit building has 1 roof, 2 furnaces, and 1 hot water heater.  6 single family homes have 6 roofs, 6 furnaces, 6 hot water heaters....So from a repair perspective, which would you rather have to deal with?

If a tenant moves out or you have a water heater or AC unit go out you will need the reserve. 

I do have one reservation about 50% bleach/water.  

Not sure whats going on next door, but they have had a fire & water restoration company come in recently and have put this outside next to their house.  

I have my neighbor watering the lawn and its seeded nut of course new lawn is something else.Thanks again for your help

@Robert Nicolai You're right that Portland isn't a "cash flow" market like the mid west states are, but that doesn't mean investing is purely speculative here.

Also the hot water tanks are electric.

For example, this house doesn't allow for water to drain away from the house, but rather runs toward it and pools up along exterior walls.

We all find ways to to put off taking that plunge into the icy stream of fast running water. 

I've got a foreclosure house that I need a contractor that have experience dealing with water damage repairs in Plano, TX .
